    1989 ZF542 on 7.3 Clutch Interlock

    Attached is a extract of the interlock from the Ford service manual for 1989, all E and F series. It shows two clips, one orientation and one plastic retainer, that hold the switch in place.

    7.3 Diesel Transmission Adaptor Plate

    To keep a long story short, I've found myself in need of the adaptor plate for a 7.3idi to ZF542. I know the part number is 1800475C1. Doing a search that includes the engine/transmission year has limited options. That said, doing a part number only search shows these plates listed for 88-91...

    '90 7.3idi Harmonic Balancer Fit Years

    Been searching for a new harmonic balancer for a '90 F350idi. Going through online parts suppliers it appears as though the '88-'91 model parts are scarce. That said, '92 and up are everywhere. I'm wondering what's the difference, if any. For instance, I had to get a new clutch/slave assembly. I...

    My 7.3 IDI just blew, need to find a rebuilt engine.

    I have a '89 Centurion. It has over 270k miles, I am the 4th owner. Had a under hood flame out, and I'm sure a head gasket blew. The injector pump was in need of attention the day I got it. I don't have the time, place, or experience with diesels to do a rebuild myself. I've heard a lot...
