    Engine swap

    I would probably pull the engine to do the head. You could get the head checked and if its bad do the swap. Which engine is lower miles?

    Parasidic Draw on my 1989 F-350 with the 7.3 idi

    the symbol you have circled is a resistor. I think a diode is a triangle with an extra line at the base. as an aside you don't need a ground attached to a bulb. you just need a voltage drop across the bulb. for instance one side could read 12V while the other side could be 6V (not ground)...

    Is there a trick to remove bed?

    I was thinking it would be easier to lift the bed off. Also it would keep threads from being damaged.

    Has this (harmonic balancer) already been sleeved?

    35 bucks at orielly. Napa wanted 55 for a CR branded one. Figured National was fine and 20 bucks less. Cheaper than a new harmonic balancer.

    Has this (harmonic balancer) already been sleeved?

    Thanks Towcat. I picked up the part you displayed 99250. Worked like a charm. Thanks again for your help on this. the old one looks like it was the wrong one that the PO tried to install anyway to get it to work. Feel much better about the new one and the installation.

    Has this (harmonic balancer) already been sleeved?

    I'm working on a 1986 F350 6.9. I've got a front seal leak. I noticed that the seal in the kit I have is slightly smaller than the seal that came out of it. I'm curious is this is one of those sleeve kits, and if the seal with this is a different size. I'm not sure if I should re-sleeve (I...

    Source of tools for timing IDI

    Thanks for the offer. The price is right. I'd like to learn to do it myself, if only so I can. Maybe I try it and have you check it. How is the quality of the Gunson? I'm wondering if I should try to make my own.

    I'm looking for (currently available) tools to time my IDI. I believe the The snap on probe to do the optical method is no longer available. I heard about another piezo sensor that you clamp to injector and hook to a timing light, but I don't think it's available any more. I guess they...

    LOL. 12 trucks... My wife would kill me. I know what you mean though. After the first one, I was hooked. The wife said I can only have 3 :( so I gotta get the parts I need, and then I have room for one more. Can I use the floats on the new senders to fix the ones on my truck...
