Recently bought a 52 F4 w/ a '58 292 converted to 12V. Welder used it on an oil field and worked her nearly to death. Did some serious cleaning up, new gaskets, etc. Just finished numbering all the wires on a new harness to replace the cloth wrapped. Of course the gauges are 6V and I suppose so are the ignition and light switch. Both work. I read here about the displeasure w/ JC Whitney voltage reducers and such. The 52 used a pair of circuit breakers tied to the gauges, 6V of course. I hear NAPA carries 12V breakers. ------------------------------ From: NACatin aol.com Date: Wed, 15 Mar 2000 23:18:44 EST Subject: Re: Flywheel Cover Part Two to my now 52 F4 w/ a 58 292. Just finished taking 48 years of grease and grime off of the tranny and find that I'm missing the bottom portion of the fly wheel cover. It seems to be a separate piece under the bell housing and covers the lower half of the flywheel. Stupid ??? but I suppose this is essential (brand new this). If so anyone out there know where to find one. The tranny is a 4 spd. T-98 WG DIV. SB1, that I ASSUME is the orig. tranny that came w/the flathead. Any ideas are greatly received and appreciated. Nick ------------------------------ From: "Gary L. Perry" Subject: Re: Flywheel Cover Date: Thu, 16 Mar 2000 04:28:22 -0500 I'm doubting you have the same B-housing as the flathead. Tranny could be same, but B-house wouldn't fit your newer engine. Shouldn't be hard to find one in boneyard. I believe up to 64 in p/up and way into 70's on F-500 or 600's are the same, as long as they have the two mounts on sides of B-house that go to frame cross-over. "G" ------------------------------ From: "Jim Shedlauskas" Subject: Funny numbers Date: Thu, 16 Mar 2000 07:41:03 -0500 I spent most of the day yesterday trying to get my project truck ('49 F-4) titled in my name. Normally an easy task, but it's had an open title since 1986 - signed and notarized but never re-titled. They did not like that. In the process I needed to get a tracing of the VIN and the GVW of the truck (just took the glove box door to the title office - they wanted an inspection mechanic to do the tracing, but I explained to them that half of the truck was in a cardboard box, some people just don't understand these things.) So.... after slowly rubbing two coats of paint off the data plate with carburetor cleaner and a rag, I was able to read the GVW - 10,000 lbs. Huh? That doesn't match up with the listing in the 'Ford Pickup Red Book' which says the weight should be 7,500 lbs. The model is a 9HTL so I'm sure it is an F-4. Also, the model IS a 9HTL, no -80 or anything to identify body type. What body type was it? Can anyone shed some light on these mysteries, or is it not much of a mystery? Also, is there any good way the remove the rest of the paint from the data plate without removing the printing of the data plate?

I did mine many years ago but don't remember how, but if I could do it, it was not that difficult . There is lots of room under the dash if you need to get in there. Even with the new rubber mine still leaks cold air in and it is seated tightly. Henry Willms ------------------------------ From: "O'Connell, Dennis M" Subject: Breakes....? Date: Thu, 16 Mar 2000 06:54:10 -0800 Hi all, Need your help here. Every once in a while I get what I can only describe is a hard brake pedal. When this happens the truck just doesn't want to stop. I have a power setup with Ford disc front and drum back. If I have time to pump the brake once the hard felling disappears and the brakes go back to normal. Could it be a lack of pressure in the power boost? The truck has a bit of a cam and runs at real low rpm around town. Thanks for your advice in advance.
