Volvo parts make me nervous. They actually had problems with slave/master cylinders some years back as I recall, seems like I towed several that the clutch wouldn't release. Make sure you didn't get one of those somehow, and might make sure replacements are available before you make it fit. I'm...

Charlie made a good suggestion there, or you could take a page out of KW's book and use a solid shaft with pillow block bearings. I'll get pics if you want for ideas, I think I have one here with the dash out you can see.How about hydraulic assist? I'd think the power steering pump would...

Definitely on the same page as Charlie. Good luck, let us know what you find in there!Also possible the pickup tube or the pump came loose, but I kinda doubt it. Worth considering though. Look at the gaskets good when it comes apart.Sent from my E6810 using Tapatalk

Ok, sudden low pressure after sitting. We'll go with that for now. While that doesn't rule out anything previously mentioned to you, here's my thoughts.Spun bearing, which is usually accompanied by bottom end noise, you'll see lots of metal in the pan when you drain the oil. ( I doubt this is...

How did your problem start? Gradually over time? Or you suddenly didn't have good oil pressure?Sent from my E6810 using Tapatalk

ALRIGHT!!! WHICH ONE OF YOU TURNED ALL MY NOTIFICATIONS OFF?!?!?Ha! Found you CJ. All this time I thought you were tired of starting new threads. Nice job, both on the truck and thread. I'm excited to see how your new temp monitor preforms, and where you stashed it in the truck.Air assist...

Where the OBD 1 test port is under the hood there is a grey single wire female spade connector, if you power it it powers the pump, used for a pressure test, on the trucks anyway, we'll see what Dustybumpers says.....Sent from my E6810 using Tapatalk

Does it have the single wire for the pump test in the plastic protector as the trucks? Same low pressure tank pump/high pressure pump in the frame?Sent from my E6810 using Tapatalk

Well I'm sad to hear it didn't work out. But that's smart on your part recognizing it's something you don't want to mess with, I commend you for that.Just thinking out loud here, I wonder if the cars have the same fuel pump test plug under the hood. Never messed with a car with efi of that...

I guess August is brake month! Lol Every one of those crown vics I ever encountered had a spongy feeling brake. Odd sensation.Looking good Charlie. Guess you could paint the cab and leave the rest.......Sent from my E6810 using Tapatalk

Definitely an advantage. The difference is the alcohol in the gas. Alcohol, or ethanol rather, fuel eats a tank up quick. That car was parked about 12 years ago with gas from Albuquerque.I've got trucks in the yard that were parked for 30 years, and are clean enough to pour gas in and drive...

It can be a challenge to get it down the neck, I walked out and got these so you can see what it will do.Sent from my E6810 using Tapatalk FYI, that's the tank and fill neck in the 82, parked 12 or so years ago.

Sure, here's what I got if the link works. If not the pic shows what to type in the search bar. Went up to 20 bucks. This one is for Android, there are others for iPhone. I used the OTG view free app.https://www.amazon.com/Seesi-Endoscope-Waterproof-Inspection-Semi-Rigid/dp/B07PBF6DX5Been...

Definitely a sound Lincoln driving technique. If you did nudge something you wouldn't feel it unless it was built by Mack.I do remember if you held the throttle wide open the gas gauge and the speedometer would have a race.That's not completely accurate though, my 76 drank gas, my Dad's 69...

I loved those mirrors! Especially the remote adjustment on the passenger side. As I recall they had 4 positions, sky, ground, 36' to the right, and passenger seat. At least that was my experience.Sent from my E6810 using Tapatalk

I really enjoy big cars. I traded for a 76 Mark IV when I was 13 or so. It was a lot of fun. Nothing like a 460 powered tub of bondo........Last one I messed with was Ma's 82 Mark VI. 302, AOD, beautiful car, white with that crushed blue cloth interior. Got it cheap non running, the throttle...

I'll toss a couple ideas in here, before you try running the fuel pumps, see how nasty the tank is. If it was parked with alcohol gas in it you will probably have to clean the tank and replace the pump.On coolant loss, could just be from sitting, or who knows. When my 5.0 set around the...

After considering it a while, it kinda makes sense, when the vacuum goes away outside air containing moisture fills the void. Especially on your end of the country. So I bet it would work well. Then, every time you start the truck it would evacuate the desiccant, so theoretically it should last...

Follow up question, s, Did your toe board clearance go away?On the desiccant line, never thought about that, wondering how it would be effective if moisture doesn't exist in a vacuum. Going to have to ponder on that one.Sent from my E6810 using Tapatalk

I'll check it out.........Sent from my E6810 using Tapatalk

Mine do not see the miles they used to either, buying a powerstroke with an air conditioner kinda changed my mode of operations.Sent from my E6810 using Tapatalk

So here's a noggin scratcher- Vehicle in question is a 1965 F-850, Napco Powr-Pak 4x4, fire truck. 534 V8, 5 spd direct. (1000 gallon tank, pump and roll, pretty sweet setup.) Truck has vacuum assist brakes, with the vacuum booster unit remote mounted under the drivers running board.Truck sees...

Been playing with mine a little finally. By playing I mean I put about 600 miles on the little 73 in the last week and a half. Had to press her into service doing some renovation on my grandmother's house. She got new tires on the front, rear two balanced, ( had to refresh my memory on the...

I came for the conversion.I'm staying for the pics.Sent from my E6810 using Tapatalk

Interesting. I never had great luck with interstates, just that one. Or two I guess. Running Motorcraft or A/C delco mostly now.Sent from my E6810 using Tapatalk

I've got a little Interstate Blem in my 87, it gets unhooked when the truck sits. I put it in right before grandma passed, in 06. Also had great luck out of a Kirtland Signature that was in a loader I drug home. Little battery, started the IHC 6 cylinder fine, no idea how old it was, some...
