Hello Alberta, Just moved here from BC this year lol. I live in Edmonton. I am currently looking for a IDI diesel to replace my 09 ranger, which replaced my old IDI. Lets just say hindsight is 20/20.

i'm sure that the fuel pump has power, as i hear it priming both before and after cranking, so i'm sure it's just decided that it's days of providing fuel pressure are over

Wish I could make it but a little far to travel.

I know your Alberta weather well having lived in Hinton for a number of years. Now back in BC liking the warmer winters.

Someone should take some pictures and post them up.

Around here all the swap meets are on weekends. I work weekends.

Hey guys I always forget about the Alberta chapter, don't know why but I do. Anyhow where is that Red Deer swap meet at? Is there a link or details anywhere?

I am considering putting an overdrive my 64, it has a 460 so I would need an E4OD for a 2WD if anyone knows of one for a decent price.

Hey D

With an E4OD on that 460 are you running efi or carb? If not efi it will require a stand alone computer as it is electronic. Wasn't sure what your plan was as you didn't explain but thought I would ask.

The swap meet is at the exhibition stands, I'm not sure of a link but I believe its on the far east side of town.

Well, I run a carb but baumannn eng makes a computer that will work with it and it is $400 which isn't too bad, I just want to cruise at lower rpm's cause I have 3.50 gears and she is humming pretty good at 100KM per hour its sits about 27 to 2800 RPM.
