    My other project..

    Didn't realize I hadn't updated this since June lol. I bought a new 65 series Platinum AGM battery at work, a starter switch that was momentary, and a rotor for the burb, for less than that the battery cost without discount. Got everything buttoned up and primed the oil pump, then I couldn't...

    Lowering a 4x4??? I don't get it!!!

    The Low Profile tires have only a spot on cars or a sport truck like the 454SS, they're more designed for better traction on asphalt, most are used on Rallye cars or Drift cars, hence why they are wide and very little sidewall. No place on a 4x4 though.

    Ford Trash Talk Thread lol

    Yeah that'd be me. I don't get butthurt over trash talking about brands. I'm not brand myopic. I'll talk shit about Ford, Chevy, or Dodge and still own at least one of those brands. ;) People need to grow up and not let trivial shit bother them. Carry on ladies and gents!

    My other project..

    Yeah, Chevy was the one that put the distributor in that f&^% up place lol... all the way at the back, under the cowl, where you can't even do a cap and rotor change easily lol. I do love my squares just as much as I love my 73-79 and 80-86 Fords.

    My other project..

    Yup, back to the hand warmer lol I got the PS Pump bolted back on today, lines attached, new fuel hose and clamps. I still have a little more to do before I can try and crank it. I need to pick up new belts, coolant, and restab my distributor.

    My other project..

    Nope, it'll go in gear but probably not too far, gotta remember the AOD is like the 700R4 in that it uses a TV Cable, or in Ford's case with the carb engines, a TV Rod, to control shifting, and last time the trans neutraled out on me 4 times in 2 blocks. I gotta swap my C6 in it before I can...

    My other project..

    I got a bit more done on this yesterday. Replaced the broken PS Pump reservoir using a Dorman kit that was about half the price of a rebuilt pump. So that's just about the last thing besides belts and piddly shit I need to do to it, once I get the pump back on the engine I'll start re-installing...

    My other project..

    No tailgate lol :p You should build a roller cam 302 engine with a stock HO Mustang cam, and do the 4 degree advance my buddy and I do to them, really awakens the 302 and makes it more of a truck engine!

    My other project..

    Lol, nope. Way this shit goes, It'd still be a Flintstone mobile, hell I haven't even fired off the engine in it now since doing all the shit I've done to it lol

    My other project..

    The F1 is what started it, it then became the F100 in like 53, the F100 was essentially the 1/2 ton model, then when more stringent regulations came about in the 70's, Ford added some weight to the F100 (essentially made it a heavy half) and called it the F150 which debuted in 1975. It came...

    My other project..

    I've had this for awhile now, It's been parked about as long as I've had it. I traded a 2003 Ford Ranger for it. It's a 1983 Ford F100 XLT Short Bed with factory 302 and Auto Overdrive. Kid I got it from replaced the carb with the incorrect one for the AOD transmission and the trans effectively...

    My first F body.

    Didn't think about the pipe plugs.. Either way it goes, car was gonna get exhaust eventually, especially since the muffler is falling apart on it, and headers would help it breath more.

    My first F body.

    Well this CCC Quadrajet is no go, started leaking gas out of the space the internal filter goes, took the nut back out and found it has two or three stripped threads, don't really like the idea of this CCC Quadrajet anyway, so I'm gonna swap out the intake, carb, and distributor for non CCC...

    My first F body.

    I got it to crank over and fire off the other day, wouldn't stay running though. So I bought a kit for the E4ME Quadrajet, a new float, and a filter and I start disassembly. I just went as far as taking the air horn off and cleaned the inside and started replacing the parts needed in a normal...

    More pics, bout the only rust through I could find on the car was the battery tray. The floor boards and wheel wells are solid.

    My first F body.

    Traded for a new project this past Saturday. I traded a pistol I had laying around collecting dust for a 1984 Sport Coupe Camaro that has sat for awhile. It's a 305, 700R4, 10 bolt, T-Tops. The guy I got it from pulled it and two others out of a field north of Tulsa, OK. He received them as a...

    Engine help

    I thought that, but I've stabbed, re-stabbed, verified everything is getting a bright blue spark.. It's blowing oil out of cylinder 6, hence the spark plug being covered in oil. Was truly hoping this wee oh five would get me by, it just expedited the 350 install :)

    Engine help

    Valves are adjusted properly and still no go.. all spark plugs except #1 are covered in black soot, #6 and #7 are covered in oil as well.. I'm gonna forego all this and just pull a TBI 350 from the local pull a part as a short block and swap parts over. Sent from my SCH-S968C using Tapatalk
