big mess
ok heres the deal i have had this truck over a year. its an 1981 f100, 2wd, 4 on the floor.
ok well the truck is a beast. its old beat up the normal stuff but the motor is somthing differnt. its only a 351w with a 4 bbl 400 cc nothing much well the combo of the tranny and motor makes it unstopable. well it sat for two weeks due to a tire problem. when i parked it for the two weeks it was running prefec well when i started it back up it ran ok but it bogged down about 2,500 to 3,000 rpms so i figured ok maybe the gas was bad changed out the gas and put gas treatment in it.did nothing ok maybe spark plugs, wires, and distrubtor cap well all good spark plugs where alittle spaced out but nothing i couldnt fix well did that didnt work. well so next i check the timeing and adjusted it alittle ideals better but still doing the same thing. so i sparyed carb. cleaner down the carb. and cleaned it all out seeing since it only does it when you floor it or about 2.500 to 3,0000 rpms maybe its the back bbls causing it to do it well that didnt fix it i ran out of ideals what it could be there is one more thing i am going to and that is to hook up all the vaccum lines but id otn knwo where any of them go so if any of you guys can get me a diagram of the vaccum lines foran 83 351w i would really be happy and one more thing
i forgot to post on here it isnt starting on its own i have to prime it and then i start up rite away but still bogs down so if you guys know what is causeing it please help me thank you
