I have a '52 F-1 with the 215 6 cylinder engine. It has a Holley 1 barrell
carburetor that has a clamping bead for the oil bath air cleaner around the
outside of the body.

Does anyone know of a carb that will replace this one that has a smooth body
so I can use a dry air cleaner?

Thanks.

Dennis,

I just purchased a complete set of cables from Control Cable.  They build
them to your specs and with the ends you specify...  first class work and
customer friendly... they can fax you a work sheet to determine your cable
lengths, brackets needed..etc  or let me know and I can send you a copy of
mine.

They are at www.controlcable.com   or 562-949-0455 in Santa Fe Springs Ca.
They also do fuel cables and other street rod stuff also

I wish all a happy holiday season.
Only 4 1/2 months to Pigeon Forge!

I better make those motel reservations!

Paul and other PF FTEers,

I will be staying at the PF KOA again unless the family doesn't come. In that
case, I might want to stay at FTE headquarters

Subject: leaky seam


I have a small leak in the seam in the back of my cab where the back
panel meets the roof panel above the rear window. The drip follows the
ledge on the inside where the 2 panels meet and drips off at the end of
that L-shaped edge. The shop manual says a body sealer of medium heavy
viscosity with an asphalt base was available for the Ford repairman to
use at any joint where there is rubbing between two metal surfaces.
Questions: Is this the best way to stop the leak? Will this cause a
rust problem at the seam?  What can I buy today to do the job?
Thanks!       Abe '54 F-100

Subject: radiator size


List members,
As I was looking through my specifiacations and features manual,
something caught my eye. The radiator size for the '54 V-8 was different
than the 6 cyl.  The 239 V-8 came with a 22 qt. capacity and the 6 came
with a 18 1/2 qt. capacity. When I rebuilt my truck the original
radiator was shot. Rather than get it re-cored I found a good one in a
local junk yard. It appeared as if it had been recored since the fins
looked different. The truck was a 6 cylinder. Yes, the bottom hole is on
the opposite side but but we connected to the water pump with a flexible
hose.
Questions:  #1: Does anyone foresee any potential problems with me
using this 6 cyl. radiator in my V-8. I have not had any overheating
problems that I know of. I have the original gauge and it runs about 3/4
hot (what ever that means).
   #2: Are the 2 radiators different in external size? It fits in the
space OK width wise. The fan shroud fits. Is one taller than the other?
Any help here is appreciated!
Thanks,  Happy New Year,      Abe  '54 F-100

Does anyone know where I might find a pair of upper
mounts for the front shocks on a 58F100.  I've looked
in many of the popular aftermarket catalogs, but
couldn't find them available.

I have the same leak in my F4 and I found a product made by SEM that my body
shop friend uses and swears by.  He will use it to stop my leak.  Good luck.

Has anyone had any success rewiring a 59 F-100?
Can't seem to find anyone who makes harness for 59
(...every other vehicle on earth except
57-60 F-100....what's up with that?)  Anyway, any luck with
rodder kits or anything?
Thanks!!

The 1 bbl Holley used on slant six Dodge and Plymouths bolts right on,
and comes with a paper cleaner, if you can still find one. Most are 225
cubic inch, so jetting is just about right. The manual choke of a truck
can be retrofitted onto the auto choked Chryslers with some small amount
of work in most cases. Made from '60 up to at least '80.
