that is what our friend told us to do or the windshield wipers

Is that the terminal on the starter solenoid mounted on the passenger fenderwell? I haven't had to touch the alternator yet, so I'm unfamiliar with how it's setup on the truck.

Nope. That would get voltage only during cranking.

The "S" terminal is on the back of the alternator. I has either a terminal post (with a nut and star washer) or a plug connector. The alternator housing is normally cast with the terminal designations.

Using the S terminal is easiest... abotu 18 inches of wire and a terminal connector. It'll be the best 10 minutes spent towards your truck's driveability. GO FOR IT.

Sweet. Can definitely do that. Unfortunately, the PO disconnected ALL the choke hardware (no clue why!!), so the linkages and stuff are WAY out of whack. Meaning, of course, that I have to try and figure out how it's supposed to be setup. (I'm also assuming the electric choke is still actually good...and with the previous owner, assuming can be deadly!)

Also - for the ground on the E-choke, I can just put a short little wire to one of the carb -> manfold bolts, yes? (Asking because I already ran one!)

I got my Tranny cleaned and the 1st coat of "dark ford blue" paint on it, I also got the doors stripped down and ready to go to the painter. I found that my vent window frames was somewhat rusty so I guess I am now looking for a couple rust free vent window frames.

That ground point will work. Heck , if there is a useable screw on the carb then use that since the carb is grounded by its mounting bolts.

Yessiree... POs are notorious for doing "repairs" that makes me wonder why they even bothered. My take is "Don't be one of those POs that FTE members bad-mouth if ever you sell your Dent". Journeyman workmanship adds value to your truck!!

To keep inline with this thread, I filled up my gas tank and took the F-Bomb for a short drive... it definitely needs an alignment.

I tore down my 76 highboy. Only thing left is the chasis with engine and tranny. Trying to decide what to do with them. I have a fe block with a NP 4 speed. Not sure which motor it is the only id I can find is a 352 on the front of the block.

i put a set of bucket seats in my supercab a couple of weeks ago

Ordered my engine today from pheonix engines. Went with the turnkey, phase 1 351w 321 HP. Should be a nice daily driver. Now time to get the headers,starter,alt,P/S pump, brake booster and master cylinder ordered. My 3rd member and axles are ready for me to pick up tomm. so hopefully tomm. I will have a rolling chassis.

Wow you use to be able to hit your head off the dash board in a crash, Now you can even go through the winshield.

Did the 3G alternator upgrade with a 130 amp alternator from a 95 Taurus. I posted these pics in the thread about 3G upgrades too, but hey you can't have too many pics!!
