New Guy

I just joined and am in the middle of trying to get a '56 F100 back up and running. The engine is done, but the rebuilt carburetor floods out. It ran just great for the first hour or so, but now there is so much fuel dumping into the carburetor that it drips on the manifold.

Looking at some old posts it could be a problem with the float, so I will mess with that.

Welcome to the forum Garthguyer. I am starting to work on a very rusty 1952 F-Series pickup. I just rebuilt the Cleveland 351 ci engine but need several more pieces before it is complete. Good luck with that carburetor. Cheers PAul52

Introduction

Hello everyone, I am relatively new to the Ford family and I am excited and looking forward to good things on the forum. I just purchased a used 2013 F150 XLT 4x4 SuperCab with the 5.0 Litre V8 and the 302A package. Its the Green Gem Color and looks killer . Hopefully, this will be the beginning of a good relationship.

Hi, ok... I guess I started off in the wrong area, sorry!
Anyway, I have a 2006 F350 King Ranch, 6.0 L Diesel purchased new in 2006 and I joined to get information. I am located in Comanche, TX. ,The truck is now used for the ranch mostly, but also used for long hauls. Needless to say, I have had my share of problems. I'm happy to have found this forum. Thank you for adding me. Charles

Talking New guy with an E-350

Hello, I'm new here looking for some help with my E-350, previous owner decided to beat the crap out of it so now I'm trying to fix it up. It's a work van equipped with a Miller 302 Trailblazer and a Parker hose maker, it does the job, but I want it to do the job and last. I hope to be able to learn a lot about it and help others in the years to come.

Hi..........

i'm new to this site, i'm starting on my first 5.8L W/ 351w and was hoping to get some ideas on what parts i could use to build it, such as what year is the best block or base to build off of and out of what, what are the best heads i could use without breaking the bank, and i'm only looking to build about 350hp-400hp on a street and strip project, something that will have power from idle to about 6500RPM. don't have a car to put it in yet it will be i excess of 5000lbs but i would like to go as cheaaap as possible and do have a few ideas of my own but am looking for a second opinion from someone more experienced... any-one got any ideas thanks.
