Installed the carb today. And was able to get the truck to fire up. It wouldn't idle but at least it will run. When adjusting these, should idle mixture be adjusted first or curb idle?

Timing, then idle mixture to actually get it to idle, then set the regular or curb idle.

I think timing is 6 degrees, but I'm not sure. Not too much though.

It will probably idle better at 10 degrees and you try that, but I bet it will complain under load.

Installed the Carb, and was able to fiddle with the idle and the truck runs like it did before I replaced the seals in the carb. Sounds like a monster without a muffler I will call it Sulley.

Also was able to get nameplate info off the Transfer Case
Rockwell Standard
Model T223 C4
Ratio 2.05
Serial 8 66-0022
Napco (this was also stamped on nameplate)
The front Axle has raised lettering cast
Napco (on the front right side of diff housing)
and 208E (raised lettering on the back side)

These folks might be of help. I didn't go through the whole thing, but what I saw seemed to be mostly pickups and 1 tons. You may find some help there regardless:

https://napco4x4.org/forum/

Back to FTE:

https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/8...600-napco.html

https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...lp-needed.html

https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/3...axle-id-2.html

There are more but most are pickups and less info than these, which is hard to imagine.

You can use the search function up top to look for more NAPCO posts.

Sorry these just seem to have fallen off the face of the earth. I think most had rough lives and died young--and not good looking despite their youth.

Emailed Chuck Mantiglia of , Chucks Trucks and he responded with this: I have knowledge, but the only parts available will be bearings. Anything else will have to be custom made. I would guess they pulled that axle out when they installed the 2 speed rear. Would have been easier to pull the front driveshaft, but who knows? You can't have 4 wheel drive and a 2 speed rear. Even if by some miracle one of the ranges matched the front ratio, there would always be the chance that somebody would shift the rear to the other range while in 4 x 4.

Chuck
So 85e150 mentioned the truck decoded with a single speed rear axle. So if I put the front drive shaft and axle shaft in, it is possible that I would have destroyed the front end unless someone else did it already. I am not ready to tear into the front diff just yet I would like to get it to my garage first.

One way or another, once you get it into the garage, you can find an axle that will work or swap to an OEM straight axle.

Good luck with it!
