    1935 Ford Pickup...That is right at home in this forum

    Thanks for posting that.. I like it.. a lot.. like the cab stretch he did also.. IDI engine fits right in... looks like he did a pretty good job "making it all fit". I just picked up another truck project... IF I can get pics to attach to this ... It's a 1935 International 2 ton, cab...

    1994 E350 Spongy Brake Pedal

    I've started bleeding brakes with an electric fuel pump and a 12 volt battery salvaged from a security system.. [little one, like a motorcycle size]... I just hook up the fuel pump to the bleed screw with clear plastic line [hardware store stuff... use it once.. pitch it] Open bleed port at...

    1994 E350 Spongy Brake Pedal

    For the group on the issue of spongy brake pedal: I just came across a company that makes an in line check valve that they sell.. one for disk brakes.. one for drum brakes. In principle, the valves hold pressure in the lines so you don't have to move fluid from the master to the shoes/pads...

    found hydro boost--questions

    <<< snip >>>> Just bypass yours with a union fitting till you can find a new one - potentially too much rear braking when empty is a whole lot better than not enough braking while loaded due to leaking high-pressure components. <<<< snip >>> Thanks.. but I've been looking for a union fitting...

    found hydro boost--questions

    I desperately need a working proportioning valve for a cab chassis F450 with 10 lugs and rear disks. Haven't been able to find one here anywhere... mine is leaking like crazy. If you are working a u-pull yard for this stuff and can pull that valve complete with arm / etc. I will gladly pay...

    I think I have problems with my IP, help please!

    If this is something that happened suddenly.. first thing I would check is the throttle cable at the engine end. There is a red plastic sleeve inside the housing at the IP end. This guide sleeve breaks and then "stacks" the broken pieces so the cable doesn't pull the lever that open the fuel...

    Bed Removed, What to do?

    Just re-read you original post. I suggest you might benefit with a back flush of the fuel lines while you have the bed off and everything open to access. Here is what I would do. 1. container of clean fuel, 2. electric fuel pump [anything that pumps will work], 3 Some hose and fittings...

    Bed Removed, What to do?

    When I did my rollover valves on my 92, I happened to have a 97 parts truck. The vent tubes from that rollover valve is 1/2 inch, the rollover valves have the exact same diameter so it was pull the small tube 92 valves and push in the 97 large tube valves.. It instantly cured by slow filling...

    Is this normal (pics)

    That will buff right out... NOT.. Looks to me like I'm seeing the remains of the wrist pin still in the broken rod? Also the remains of the grenaded piston. Good job... Glad the only critical injury was to the wallet and no one was hurt from it locking up in rush hour traffic. It could...

    Manual 6-port valve

    Inquiring minds have to know.. who sells the same valve that is not "Marine" designated? Seems to me, at even $175 bucks, it's cheaper than the Stealership Ferd part that has reliability issues. Been using manual fuel valves in airplanes for about 50 years now.. never had one fail yet...

    Help please, lost brakes.

    Thanks Mel, at $661 for a part that "might help sometime" but failed and left me without brakes, I like your suggestion best. Seems Ford engineers out did themselves on this one. Not to teach myself how to block it off without defeating the rest of the brake system... Hmmmm.. Looks like I...

    BAD PULL TO THE RIGHT

    I'm betting you have a tire that is having radial cord separation. I've had that same thing and it acted the way you describe. A decent tire shop should be able to check it out for you and put it on their spin balance machine.. the run out on the tire will show up wrong. That is...

    clutch push rod heim joint mod

    Word to the wise, based on experience. Double check part number shown in the listing with Ford Dealer parts list. There was a change made in this part through the model years. I had one hell of a time finding one to fit a 1987. Part number sold said it would fit and received part was...

    clutch push rod heim joint mod

    Yep, what Jaluhn said.. The new arm with pin welded in place is a Ford Dealer item only, cost is about $40. for a 94, should be an in stock item.. for my 87, I had to build one just like Jaluhn described. Only thing is. I used a machinery pin already cross drilled for a spring clip so it works...

    clutch push rod heim joint mod

    Go to your local NAPA dealer, They list and stock a replacement clutch banjo fitting with clutch rod. You might have to push on them a little to get them to look it up, but it's worth the effort. Should be in their book /computer right along with the clutch master cylinder they list. From...

    Broken head bolt, in the block, with the head on.

    I did this ONE time and it worked.. Broke a head bolt on a Volvo engine. Nearly impossible place to get a drill. Thought on it for a while. Cleaned the hole with brake cleaner, blew everything out extra good with compressed air. Coated the threads of the broken bolt with clear shoe polish wax...

    Soda blasting

    On that note. I bought an adapter from Northern Tool that fits on my gas powered pressure washer that used the 3500 psi water to blow sand. I have a 50 lb sand pressure pot from Harbor Freight [the big one they have] and with a load of dry sharp sand and about 20 psi of air pressure to make it...
