I have had this issue for quite some time. When my distributor vac advance is hooked up, the truck sputters a bit from a stop to acceration and seems to run fine at higher speeds. With the vac advance plugged off, truck runs much better. I played with timing a bit, but never messed with the...
My wife thinks I am nuts, but my son really loves it. I made him a dash display for his bedroom. Ya, it's big but fits right on top of his dresser. It has taken me awhile and I could have spent more time making the box better, but wanted to do it as cheap as I could and use extra stuff I had...
I want to buy some headers for my 75 F250 and I'm wondering how good the 18 gauge steel holds up. I'd like to get heavier gauge one like 14 gauge but seeing that the truck needs some more upgrades I'd like to spend as little as possible. However, if the thinner steel headers only last a couple...
On my 77 F250, I have trouble with vapor lock in the 750CFM Edelbrock and just recently on my 75 F250 on less than a year old 600 CFM Edelbrock, a float went bad. Seriously considering ditching both and going with Holley.
I"m finally having to run my heater in my 75 Supercab and I had replaced the heater core when I was changing out my blower motor back in summer, but the heater just doesn't feel very warm. I had also replaced the heater control valve. I do have a vacuum issue somewhere since when there is a...
I saw this truck in my father in laws junkyard and thought it would a cool truck to fix up and make a father son project in a few years. It's what I believe is a 1965 F100 2wd short bed. Here is the VIN F10BK877414The fender badging shows F100 twin I beam. It needs alot of work. The inside...
I need to look at a vacuum line diagram for my 75 supercab, but just a quick question. When my 460 requires more vacuum, I lose the vacuum supplied to my A/C-Heater controls and the air goes from vents to defrost. I'm assuming I need a bigger vacuum canister. I do have one vac line that goes...
I replaced my old York compressor to a Sanden. Everything mounted just fine and charged OK. The AC system doesn't cool like I would like, but does OK. I didn't replace my old condenser or expansion valve. I may end up doing that later on to see if that makes a difference in cooling better.
I finally took on the task of replacing my blower motor on my 75. The original one worked but squealed so bad at times it hurt the ears. I never replaced one before with factory A/C while the evaporator box was still in the truck. What a PITA. It only took me all day and of course it was 95...
Hey guys, my 75 supercab 460 sputters a bit when 1st accelerating but at an idle it seems to run fine and when going down the road it runs fine. It mainly run rough when starting out from a stop until it gets going a little. I checked timing and I'm at about 12 and tried adjusting the mixture...
I took out my midship tank on my 75 and the outside is great, but the inside has some tight rust in areas. I swashed around some acetone in it to see what crud came out and really not much. I'm wondering if the surface rust inside will bother. That particular tank is no longer available and...
Is the Supercab split front bench seat the same as the Bronco? I was going to get a new seat cover and supercabs aren't listed, but Broncos with the split front bench are. Thanks
Well, I soon will be looking at redoing my rear brakes on my 75 supercab, so I am wondering if I should a disc brake conversion. I checked out autozone and with free shipping I can all the brake parts for about $205 and the caliper brackets on ebay for about $60. There will be some small misc...
Are the printed circuits on the back of the instrument clusters interchangable if they both have gauges or are they year specific. I am changing the back plastic out from my 75 and i have one from an early 80s econoline. The 75 does have the low fuel econ light. Thanks
What is the difference between a 73-79 sliding rear and 80-96? When I was restoring my 77, I had an 80-96 slider and ordered the weatherstripping for it, but then went another route. I no longer have the window, but I have the weather seal and was wondering if it would work for a 73-79...
Where Battery Isolators factory? Does anyone have a diagram of how one is hooked up? I have one on my 75 which isn't hooked up. I don't know if I'd ever use it or not, but just want the info in case I do.
Anyone ever bought weatherstripping from broncograveyard and if so, how did it fit? Just trying to save a few bucks rather than going with DC. I know Broncograveyard gets their stuff from other venders and usually sell it for a little less than direct.
On my door warranty plate, the exterior paint code is PR. I was looking at TCP global's color library to see what the cost of paint is through them and the 2 colors listed on the 1975 ford truck chart was Vineyard Gold (chip looks different than what is on my truck) and Seqouia Brown. I was...
Hey guys, I bought a couple Dana 24 Ford transfer cases figuring if I ever needed a spare I could use one in my 77 F250 Highboy. I did some reading about them, but just wondering if they are any good. I gave $200 for both of them and now a back ache from lifting them.
I went to vacuum out my truck today and found my carpet was all wet on the passenger side. Originally I thought my A/C was plugged and was leaking on the inside, but instead when I sprayed some water down in the cowl, it was coming right on through by the kickpanel vent. Is there supposed to...
Well, I figured I'd take my truck on it's first long road trip. I plan on driving it back to my home state of Nebraska which is about 430 miles. I'm not to concerned with anything going wrong and I think I have covered all my basis as far as bring some extras just in case, but the only thing...
Just wondering what the proper voltage range should be in the charging system. My dual electric fans pull a total of 50 amps when on and with the A/C on my volt gauge drops down to about 12 or slightly above. I do have a 3G 130 amp alternator. Is this OK?
I'm needing a little more cooling power for my Highboy and the current radiator I have is an aftermarket aluminum smaller radiator ( I think it's only a 1 row) and I just doesn't cool the way I want to especially when it's hot, running A/C and cruising around. I'm thinking about getting a 3 row...
