How much timing do you guess I added?
If you can tell the difference between the cold advance and fast idle I will say your ok. On a cold engine the startup sounds like a powerstroke.Then as it drops out you really can tell and hear the difference.- icanfixall

Turn Signal Switch
Thanks for posting how you did this replacement. Utube is sometime misleading but still entertaining too. I purchased an original E7TZ 13341-B from ebay. A member suggested buying oem and not cheaping out so I did.Found prices up to $187.00 and made an offer on one for 65 bucks. Asking price was...- icanfixall

Water Pouring out of bell housing.
Best contact the seller before purchasing these. Tell them exactly what engine you have and see what they respond to. The sets I have purchased in the past came 7 to a package in a Motorcraft bag but.. ONLY international Made these because its their engine. Not a real Ford engine. Sadly Ford did...- icanfixall

Water Pouring out of bell housing.
We have two freeze plugs back there. Use only the factory plugs.They are stainless steel and designed for our blocks. Any after market is close but not correct. You will need the special installation tool too. Do not try installing them with a punch. Try an International dealer or ebay. Factory...- icanfixall

E4(uh-oh)D - troubleshooting manual operation?
My guess also is a stuck valve. Limp home mode is a design feature to "get you off the road to safety". Not drive the distance you are planning on.- icanfixall

Turn Signal Switch
Am attempting to install my new indicator switch in my rig with tilt wheel. I did this job long ago but had to view several utube vids. Turns out I have to remove the new connection end plastic piece for it to fit down thru the column. Note to self.. Make sure you have pics and see that all the...- icanfixall

E4(uh-oh)D - troubleshooting manual operation?
The E4OD requires several inputs. One is from the throttle positioning switch found on the side of the injection pump. It feeds volts to the computer called the cpu.If it sees 5 volts it will drop the voltage and your in limp home mode. These is the speed sensor found in the rear of the speedo...- icanfixall

When you say... "New tires". Is this new to you or actually a new set of tires.How many miles on them? 70... Sounds like a defect and you probably can get free replacements... Hopefully.- icanfixall

E4OD crank spacers and reenforcement plates
Sure did about 10 years ago.He had a machine shop fab one for me but.. They made it about 1/2 inch too thin. Me not knowing what the oem looked like I installed what he sold me..Then found the crank bolts went thru the crank flange and contacted the edge of the rear main bearing journal. Four of...- icanfixall

Ebay is full of turn indicator switches for your year truck.For the 91 and below with tilt wheel the ford part number is E7TZ 13341-B. For the non tilt its the E7TZ 13341 A. I don't know the part number for your year but I sure did see plenty offered.- icanfixall

E4OD crank spacers and reenforcement plates
They are needed ONLY when someone converts to this style flex plate or they let the oem part stay on the crank when they sent it off a trade in or for repairs. The dimensional bolt pattern is critical as is the fit to the crank. Its almost a size on size fit. Also same with the converter fit...- icanfixall

Walked outside to see my truck on fire last night.
Nothing short of replacing "that battery" the day before the failure would have prevented this. Probably 35 years back we drove to San Diego to visit Shamu. Stopped for dinner on way home.After dinner went to start my C30 454 camper special and all I got was a sudden maybe 1/4 turn of the...- icanfixall

Starters?
Direct drive starters are heavy monsters and VERY difficult to fit in the area between the block and frame cross member. My 89 engine had one. I found out later that gear reduction was the way to go. Easier fitment. Spins the engine so much faster and thats why my engine starts quickly.Compress...- icanfixall

Turn Indicator Switch
In my research the 13341 is the Ford part number for this type of turn indicator switch. The E7TZ represents 1987 for the truck and year. The "A" is the non tilt and the "B" is the tilt wheel. Many years ago I worked in a Lincoln Mercury dealer delivering parts.EVERY part of any Ford Motors...- icanfixall

Cracked injectors?
My guess is these are rebuilt injectors but can't say who did them. Sad mess if you ask me. When you removed them did they come out very hard or easy. Just make sure you have the old gasket out of the bore if they did not come out with the old injector. NEVER stack a new gasket on the old...- icanfixall

na to turbo
Sadly that "side mounted" turbo is no longer supported.It sits on top of the drivers side exhaust manifold that has been modified to handle it. The passenger side manifold dumps into the bottom of the drivers side manifold. Any idi intake manifold is a turbo or non turbo intake.- icanfixall

Injector Cap O-ring Durometer
Well you purchased a very good kit from a very good reputable source. When you remove the caps just scrape the underside edge so the o ring has a bevel to start the o ring on. Just be sure nothing gets inside the cap that gets cut off.- icanfixall

Injector Cap O-ring Durometer
Where did you purchase this return line kit? Did you "clean off" the plastic flash from the bottom of the caps with an exacto knife? Many kits need to clean off the sharp edges so they don't cut or nic the o rings. Did you lube these o rings before forcing the caps on the injectors? To install...- icanfixall
