Today is my first day at Henry Kelsey. I'm taking Automotive Service Technition. Wish me some luck!

 

Good luck dueller, it will be a walk in the park with all your experieince already.

 

Congrats, you can make classes at school and FTE meetings finally.....Do you commute or stay in Saskatoon?

 

i started my 3rd year millwrighting today, just down the hall.

 

He can practise tuning my trucks up if he needs on hands practise. My 86 still only gets 6 mile per gallon.

 

Ahhh speaking of school Wed is my first day back at high school for Grade 10 taking mechanics then when i get a vehicle i can work on it there if i want oh my where did the summer go

 

Best of luck at school

 

1 Release the park brake, air up the tires to 30lbs.
2 Make sure it`s in gear, the fan can`t pull it any harder/faster....
Sorry, I just couldn`t resist that. I`ve never had a Ford truck get that bad, even my 71 F350/390 gets better than that I think.

 

I'm living on Massey Drive. I would have been able to go to the cruise but the Co-op going away party was saturday night.

Increasing mileage on the '86.
Install tall skinny tires.
Lower until it's 5" off the ground.
Chop the roof.
Install a tonneau cover.
Add a zf 5spd behind a 300 I6.
Install a 3.00:1 ratio. The zf 5spd has a driveable granny low.

 

Good luck at school 51. I used to live on massey drive when I lived in stoon too, cool!

 

And 66 that is horrible mileage for a I6! I say install a 302. My 89 gets around 25 mpg with the 302 and a 5 speed!

 

No that is not my I6 engine that is my 351. My I6 gets 22 on the highways. Someone suggested to change the carb to a carter. He said they are better on gas than the Holley carb on my truck. I'm starting wonder about these Holleys. My 78 when I change it from a motorcraft carb to a holley the gas mileage got wort also. I wonder if the holleys are not what they use to be.
The motor that will be replaced into my 78 will have a Edelbrock carb. It is so simple and easy to adjust. That is the rebuilt 390 I bought this spring. Yet to find time to install.

 

Could always try going to a wrecker and getting yourself an efi system for it. Would take alot of work, but it should increase the mileage!

 

How`s it going?

 

It's going good but we haven't gotten to heavily into the mechanical side yet.
