hi all,
i just joined the forum, ive just picked up a 82 f100 so i thought i'd join the forum! ive been a member of the austalian ford forum for a while but they dont have many member into the effies! (have a real good clevo section though )

 

Welcome

 

welcome to the club.. Keep on puddle jumping

 

Welcome Natho, we really need to get a comprehensive F-Truck site for Australia; maybe I'll set something up one day?????

Cheers,
Corin

 

'ello mate. From the hills of East Tennessee, we welcome you to the best site on the web. Got any questions, ask. There are a few forums that will interest you. Click on "Forums" and "List". Scroll down to find the ones that interest you There are at least 3 that pertain to your truck. Enjoy the ride

 

Thats what this chapter is for

 

Welcome aboard Natho good to see another aussie on board ...alieneffie

 

Welcome aboard natho.

We need as many Aussies as possible to share there experiences, seeing as how the majority of Ford Truck were made with the steering wheel on the wrong side.

Looking forward to seeing some pics of your rig.

True, must have been a foul up on the production lines...
How does one go about posting pictures up here? is there a specifiec gallery section or should i just start a new thread?

 

Log In, Click on "Galleries" in the top left hand corner, then "Manage / Create". A new page will open, then click on "Create Album". Fill in all the details and then tell it where your photos are. I could only get two at a time to load, but there may be a trick to that.

Best of luck

Don't worry... quality control got thier bums kicked

 

Hi Natho im also new today just bought my first effie 4 weeks ago a 1990 f150 351 windsor 5 speed runs a bit rich think i need a new cat converter looks original hope we all can help each other out

 

Welcome wocker!!!

You sure it needs a new cat? or it could be just your O2 sensor fouling up (check in the windsor forum)
If she is running rich, I would be guessing its the 02 sensor... and if I recall they had the 02 sensor pre cat (could be wrong though)

 

Actually... hmm... its been AGES since I looked at a Windsor (I was 16 when I last saw one...), they might have two 02 sensors post twin cats, at which point you would be right.

Either way, check with the guys in the Windsor forum, they know thier stuff back the front.

 

hey wocker,
can't help too much with the windors, ive never really had much of a chance to pull them apart and see what makes em tick!
What i can recommend though is finding, either on ebay or oztion (non-union mexican equivilent ebay) a copy of the Chilton's Vehicle Libary for the F-trucks. I bought one off oztion the other day and its awesome. Its a CD containing service manuals for all the Ford trucks, explorers etc. It goes through everything, Engine, Trans, Brakes, Suspension, Body you name it and its got half decent pictures too. Well worth the $12.50 shipped to my house.
Im just waiting for a camera off a mate to get some photos, then ill post up some pics. Its not in the best of nic, i haven't had much time to work on it recently.
Cheers nath
