I had no problems installing. fit right in. worked without any issues.

 

NUMBER 1 CYLINDER at TDC on compression stroke?

 

If you having a difficult time with opening and closing your cab doors, and your doors are adjusted correctly, take a look at the latch striker pin. There should be a plastic bushing around the round shaft part of the pin. These bushing become brittle and break off, causing the latch to hang up when operating.
For a cheap repair, use 1/2" white PEX plastic tubing, using a type of razor cutter, cut it shy to the correct length, then cut in down the length of the tubing. Split it open and install it around the pin.
My doors open like new now!

 

Thanks 77f250weos.

 

One tip my dad showed me was when washing engine bay. To protect the carb, take a clean butter bowl and place over the carb and use a washer that has one side with the rubber on it. Snug up with wing nut.

 

Heard of the bowl, but not the rubber washer part.
Thanks bigfoot22.

 

Thanks so much for this. I found heating up the pex with a heat gun made it go on much easier. Now I can shut my doors without waking up the neighbors!

 

AC idler pulley had a bad bearing and was only sold as unit with bracket due to fact of them covering bearing with non removable shield.
I tracked down the part, found it to be kind of rare so took my dremel and cut off shielding over bearing and was able to press out bearing
and replace bearing for $6.20 for the 6203 bearing instead of around $160.00 for whole bracket assembly.
please excuse any wrong terminology. I have some mechanical skills but still not a great mechanic.

 

 

That's the one. It was a couple three weeks ago so I do not have part # handy. but it had 3 boltholes in a stepped triangular bracket. It was also used in the mustang and corvette from what I could understand.

thank you. literally just yesterday I tried adjusting my passenger door and could not get it right, looked at drivers and saw that plastic piece and was wondering what I had that would work. I was going to cut a magic marker. Your way sounds better. question though, the plate/nut behind that, will it fall down in the door post? I was going to pull it off to check for something that would fit and was wondering if it would fall, would a magnet keep it from doing so while I replaced plastic bushing.?

 

Very common, I used it a lot in electric motor and pump repair.just make sure it is a sealed bearing.
