I honestly don't know if I am following all of the proper procedures I do know that I was finally able to re-size the photo where I could download them but now each time I download it takes the place of the photo I had downloaded previously.

To add to this, it looks like you now have two albums - separated by 2 minutes - but with the same pictures?

I would delete one of them (and its pictures).

Regardless, congrats on getting something up there.

As for your other problems, please be clear on uploading vs downloading.

Finally, RTFM (link above) and make sure you're doing things correctly.

thanks.
I joined the KY chapter on here. You might think about doing that also. Whenever I get to Kentucky and get my Dad's garage cleaned out and organized I am going to take after Gary Lewis and start hosting some Get togethers.

Just the GTG part? Not the CAD stuff? Oh, wait! That's what you do for a living.

Oh, I will do the CAD stuff for anyone who wants it. I enjoy it a lot. Yup, you've inspired me to do the GTG stuff. It'll be awhile until I have a shop outfitted as well as yours, but I can still offer alot.

I installed a set of Wagner Quiet Stop brake pads on old rotors three weeks ago to see if they work as the parts guy said. So far, no squeaks...

Jacob - I'm going to try to help you in two ways. First I have some suggestions on how to conduct yourself on this forum. You can choose to heed them and I'll help you again in the future. Or, you can choose to ignore them and I won't. Your call. The first suggestion is that you should not hijack someone's thread. That is a no-no and doesn't win friends.

Second, you are asking for our/my time to help you. So, you need to do everything you can to make it easy for us/me to help you since there are several people asking and you want my time. The way to get me to look at your question is to make it easy for me to read, which means type full sentences. Start each sentence with a capital letter so I can pick out where they start. Use paragraphs and not a wall of text. Anything and everything to make it easy for me to both read and understand. That includes telling me what the problem is instead of asking me to go to your Facebook page and search for a video and then watch it.

So, having said that, here's my thinking on your engine. You either have the timing off, meaning that it isn't firing from 6 to 10 BTDC, or it is very lean.

Have you checked the timing? If you say yes, have you checked that the timing mark on the dampener is correct? Many of the old dampeners have slipped and the marks are not accurate.

Have you checked to see that the choke is closing? Have you checked to see if the accelerator pump is working. Pull the air cleaner and check that the choke closes on a cold engine when you open the throttle. And, looking down the throat of the carb do you see two steams of gas squirting in?

Last, remind me why you are asking questions about a '67 truck with an FE engine in this forum?

Today I used naval jelly on the spare tire rim to remove the rust, then painted the rim. I also installed a clock over the radio that I got from Gary almost a year ago. I had to notch out my stock dash bezel for the display and controls. I also got a shift indicator from Gary a year ago and installed it today. Little by little my truck is functioning better. All that left to do is take it all back apart when I get a beater and paint the frame and body. It needs a chrome rear bumper too.

Gary, did you see 86ford302help's occupation on his facebook page? Its says "President & CEO of Sitting on my As$." This attitude might explain a lot about his above post.

I am sorry for my bad grammar. As well as hijacking this thread, I have just been so upset with this truck. Only because it is my everyday driver and I can't drive it right now.

I am the one that put the new timing chain in and I lined up the timing marks (with the dot on the top gear facing down and the one on the bottom gear facing up) of course it was at TDC when I done so. The timing could be off by a tooth (or two). I plan on tearing it back apart and checking again, the timing mark on the dampener was lined up perfectly when I first set it but now it is not.

Also there are not 2 streams of gas now, there was before I rebuilt the carb. The choke is a manual choke.

On your last question, Because you really helped me a lot on my '86 with a 302.

For the record I am not the one that put that on my page. Sorry you had to see that. My ex girlfriend put that because she had my password.
