help

I just bought this 1994 f150 with a 250 suspension. It has 72,000 miles on it it has a 302. Couple questions...1) Is it me or the ruck does not have alot of get up and go..It seems sluggish i cant even lay wheels when power braking...2) There seems to be a whining noise coming from the hood one guy said it was the pollution pump.If it is would that effect the performance of the truck.It seems like something is holding it back when i stomp on the gas it seems to go nowhere, please help!!!\

Pollution pump wouldn't actually hold the truck back, it might burn up a belt if it locked up though. Get a stethescope and find the noise.

A 302 in stock form in a truck is not going to perform like a 460...
