Hello Everyone Maybe You Can Help...
Hello all. My name is Kevin. Check out my truck in the gallery. 1977 F100 Custom. Give me your opinion and thoughts about what I have done. I will get some new pics as soon as the weather gets better. But I have a slight problem. Ok a friend of mine says I need to adjust my valves? I thought they were none adjustable. He held a dollar bill up against my tailpipe and it was sucking it in and blowing it out. Never heard of this before. Anyways maybe you can help. It has a 300 L6... Well check out my galley to see what all I have done

Welcome Kevin! 
I've heard of that test and tried it a time or two. I wouldn't use it as the indicator for a valve job. I would check here though for help: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum52/ Be sure and stop in your state chapter for all the latest news: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum95/

Hi and welcome Kevin.
I checked out your gallery and you have a nice truck.
Your valves should be hydralic and shouldn`t need an adjustment.
Use the 1973 - 1979 F-100 And Larger F-Series Trucks forum to find out: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum38/
Be sure to visit the local Tn chapter and post your intro in there too: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum95/

The best way is to click on the poster`s name in his post to get to his gallery if he has one set up.

I has a brand new tank and all lines from front to back plus I go to the same station for all my cars so bad gas and water I kinda doubt it. I had a friend of mine adjust the carb yesterday it runs a little better. but he informed me I bought a vac. secondary carb. so Iam only running on two barrels. Shows how much I know I guess. This is my first restore. I now have to figure out how to get the back barrels to ingage
