I have no experience with Zero Rust, but I think POR15 is worth the price. POR15 goes a long way, a quart should be plenty for inside of the fenders. You will have some left over.

Just at the front of the right side there is a valve (I call it the flapper valve, cuz my dad did). I don't know the real name. What does this valve do, and what are the potential consequences of leaving it open all the time? Jeff '64 F100 CrewCab stock 292 ------------------------------ From: NACatin aol.com Date: Wed, 10 May 2000 22:15:00 EDT Subject: Re: 292 Exhaust Flapper Valve This flapper valve is a cold start valve that should be tied to a thermostatically controlled lever. Look for a coiled spring with a counter weight attached to a small pin that peeks through. As the hot exhaust passes it opens and allows the exhaust from the drivers side to escape but before it does it helps to heat up the engine. I THINK. I disconnected mine and have yet to have a problem starting my truck. Hopefully we will get those smarter than me to contribute to this one. Good Luck.

Perry" Subject: Re: 292 Exhaust Flapper Valve Date: Thu, 11 May 2000 03:15:51 -0500 Jeff, this valve is for warming of the cold engine. It traps the exhaust from one head and thusly the block and heads warm quickly. The valve has holes in it to allow some exhaust out and not kill the engine. It should have a coil spring on it and be free to move easily to work properly. I don't think you'll have any major problems wiring it open until colder weather.

Others have said the guts of this little guy, but to be a bit more technical, its a "heat riser valve" when closed, it raises the exhaust pressure on one side of the engine VS the opposite bank and causes an increased gas flow thru the intake manifold heating passage. This provides extra heat to vaporize the fuel mixture to reduce cold stumble and rough idle. There are few adverse effects from leaving it open, but it can cause problems if stuck shut. The spring is a thermostatic element to open it as the engine heats, the counterweighted lever is to close it, but also allows the valve to be "blown" open by high pressure (flow) going down the road. 47 Fred ------------------------------ From: "Randy Selby" Subject: Radio ID Date: Thu, 11 May 2000 12:46:22 -0500 While sorting thru parts, I found an old radio. Don't know what year or make, but know that it won't fit my '50. I have a picture. If someone can ID it, mail me and I'll send a picture. Guy I got it from thought it was mid fifty ford. Said it still worked. Has a round face with knob in the middle.
