Hello FTE
I have a 68 F 600 and need a Y pipe.It has the 330 HD engine and of course ,no one has listings above 350's.Any help welcomed.


Thanks

 

I got mine for 64 F700 few years ago from NAPA.

 

nobody around here even has listings for 68 any more.

 

Hello .
I have an F600 with a 330 HD and the downpipes attach to manifolds by with a collar on the pipe itself which is held to manifold by the 3 hole flange.No donut.Is this something a muffler shop can reproduce,the one I have been to tried to do a flare and use donut that did not work.Anybody familiar with this?

Thanks

 

Just keep asking around. There are always a few shops that kept the old books. Go to farming districts where older trucks are more common.

 

I merged your threads. No need to open another one, let's just keep working this one. Did the muffler shop have the old pipe to work with to try and reproduce the down pipe?

Exhaust work ain't rocket science, or maybe it is...

 

The muffler shop cut the collars off and flared the manifold ends to accept donuts which the manifolds are not coned for donuts.gonna be a shame to juck a truck over exhaust.

 

With a single exhaust, there's no Y pipe on this truck, the left inlet pipe connects to the right inlet pipe w/a clamp.

C4TZ-5246-A .. Right Inlet Pipe / Obsolete

1964/69 F500/600 330 2V M/D and H/D & 361 2V with single exhaust.

1967/69 F500/600 330 2V M/D and H/D and 361 2V with single exhaust.

No Ford dealer or obsolete parts vendor has either of these pipes, did you try NAPA?

Any muffler shop can make up these pipes.

 

Napa: just don't mention years just say 330 or 391

 

None of the NAPA around here have any listings on this truck,they say their books don't go back that far.They all try to pull up the farthest back F350 which of course doesn't work.I'm really trying to find out if it had donut gaskets because when i removed the two pieces that make the y pipe there were no gaskets at connection of manifold and pipe.

 

Parts for trucks this old are usually not listed in NAPA and etc. auto parts store computers, so you have to ask the parts guys to look in their paper parts catalogs that are usually stashed under the counter.

NAPA has parts for 1940's/50's BIG trucks, so why wouldn't they have them for 1960's BIG trucks?

But, the bottom line is, it's an old truck, the parts guys are probably younger, they don't know diddly-squat about old trucks, so they don't want to bother and are just "shining you on!"

Exhaust inlet pipe gasket (either flat or donut type) is Ford basic part number 9450, but there's none shown in the pic or the text section for a 1964/69 with an FT engine.

NAPA had everything I needed. It came from a PAPER parts catalog, NOT the computer. Mine was a 1970 C600. Just need to get someone away from the computer.

And no, they do not use a gasket there, too much heat, it is metal on metal. The flared flange just goes against the exhaust manifold. Same with exhaust manifold gaskets to the head. They use a METAL gasket / heat shield there, again, to much heat for any comp gasket.

Done properly, there will be no leaks, and you can foot to floor slog up the hills without baking the exhaust system off!

A store that won't go out of its way to look through the paper catalogs doesn't deserve your business !

 

I got these Walker p/n 40440 and 42388 while getting some other stuff at NAPA. Parts guy drug book out from under counter.
