    holley red question

    i can draw fuel from the line, the line is new. i'm wondering if i overworked the pump due to other line issues such as cracks and leaks. i'm going to go through it all this weekend and put in new lines... does the truck need 1/4" lines or larger?

    holley red question

    i had it in the vehicle and got mostly foam from the filter... truck wouldn't run on that. i took it out to see if the foam was caused by air entering the lines or the pump was the problem. aparently, it was both (judging by what i see thus far). i do not have a pressure gauge so i was going by...

    holley red question

    well, i took the pum out of the truck, ran a 3/8" hose from a jug of diesel to the pump... and i get a stream about 6" long. this is a new pump, actually the second new pump in two weeks... is there an adjustment inside the pump that i can check? i already made sure the internal screen was...

    holley red question

    also, it doesn't have enough pressure to push fuel up the height of the truck, just kind of "oozes" out of the tube

    holley red question

    a holley red should pump at 7psi with no load. that much pressure should squirt a few feet away from the pump, correct? i have the pump out and i'm trying to see if it has enough pressure, but it only flows about 6" away from the pump when i power it. that doesn't seem like enough pressure to...

    turning up fuel?

    i keep reading about turning up the fuel in your idi to improve power. i understand it will increase egt's and i would need a pyro to monitor that. other than egt's, are there other dangers and exactly what screw adjustments need to be made to do this? ken

    shift linkage

    i'm trying to remove the shifter rod on the engine side of my column but i don't want to damage anything in the process. is there a trick to it or is it just a pain to get off?

    zf-5 question

    i'm sure this question has already been asked, i just can't seem to find it. were there any zf-5's on the 6.9 and will it bolt to a 7.3? thanks

    5 speed

    i friend is about to junk an '89 f-450 with a gasser 460 and a 5-spd (not zf-5). would that tranny fit on the '89 7.3? i know it's not the preferable zf-5, but my e4od is going downhill and i really don't want an automatic again.

    glasspacks or straight?

    i have a flowmaster series 40 3" in/out muffler siting in my garage that never made it on my van... would that flow enough? i would assume the 7.3 would need more

    glasspacks or straight?

    i know what my 7.3 sounds like with straight exhaust... is it alittle quieter with glasspacks?

    body lift

    i'm going to install a 3" body lift this weekend and i only see one potential problem. would i need to do any modifications to the shift linkage? i have an automatic (column shifter) and it looks like the linkage near the firewall will come up short if the cab is raised 3".

    fuel leaks

    i seem to have a leak in the top of my fuel filter housing/water seperator. it looks like it's coming out of the switch or sender that goes into the top. can anyone tell me what that switch is? do i have to change the housing? if i need to change the housing, is ford the best place to get a...
