You're talking about the bolts (screws) that hold the headlight buckets to the radiator support, right? Yes, from what I remember, there's a spring on one side. One screw aims it up & down, the other aims it left & right. Correct. Is it some spring that fits all sealed beam? Or just slick-6...

Headlightproblems

I tried to fasten my sealed beams but discovered that there are only 2 bolts. Is it correct?! Or shall there maybe be some kind of spring. They only shines at the moon at the moment. Maybe inspired by me howling at the moon some nights. :twisted:

Hmmm, definitely sounds like an ignition problem. Check inside the distributor cap for anything funky...things like carbon tracks (look like cracks), center button worn way down, loose pointer on the rotor, etc. Also, make sure there's no play on the magnetic pickup beneath the rotor. It should rot...

Vacuum hose from the carb to the distributor.


Have checked it and it lookes ok. But the plate under the Ignitor feels maybe a little bit hard to move but dont know exactly how it should feel.

They are changed to something called "Ignitor" Think it cant be adjustable. Some kind of electronic thing.

Engineproblems

My 390 is in a very bad mood at the moment. At no gas she runs nice but when I give her a little gas she dies, and then when I give her full throttle she pulls but misses a lot and shoots in the pipes. Have checked sparks and cables and they seems to work. Hope you people understand my writing. Janne.

Re: She locked up in third!!

[quote="Doc Pepper"]I was on my way home when slowing down for one of the ever increasing traffic signals in this town when I couldn't get the TOT to shift out of high gear.

Mine -66 do the same sometimes. Cant change from third to first directly so I must have to go up in second first.

Hoodproblems

Or should I say hingeproblems. My hood fits like it was drunk. But the local junkyard only got newer F100/250.Early seventies. Do the hinges fits? Maybe its not a good idea if they are worn out anyway.
