Hello from SE Ohio

Just got logged in many thanx to the Webmaster. Have a '78 Ford F250 w/351 Cleveland beefed up to 5/4 with a flatbed and goosneck, a '79 Ranger last of the full-sized Rangers with 302 (blown! but I have a Grenada to swap out the engine now that I have time and set up to do it!) and a lot of rust but frame is okay, four Aerostars one with the auto elec 4WD (cant find a tranny for it), and a F700 ex-U-Haul. Can tell I'm happy with old Fords?

Johnny

Thanks guys! Specially Tim, he helpd me get in here. Looking for a thred on why engine runs smooth idle to high rev -- just put new distributer cap spark plugs wires condenser & all -- but put F250 in gear and it sputts backfires and stalls. So wil go hunting in a minit.

4got to say, I have a '79 Bronco (2.8 liter one piston gone) and one old Club Wagon (351 Windsor). Windsor and that tranny still good but Smokey ruled Ol Green off the road cos of all the rust! Hmmm, w<GRIN>onder if it wud work if swapt in to F250?
