Re: Help! 1965 F100 dies/bogs/hesitates after 50mph
Well I have decided to replace the tank with a mustang tank under the bed. I temporarily fixed my fuel starvation by removing my malfunctioning fuel sender adding some brass fittings and a length of hose as well as a sock filter into the tank. Truck back to running good. Next on the list- figure out...

Re: Help! 1965 F100 dies/bogs/hesitates after 50mph
The problem is the pickup tube has no filter so this could happen again....

Re: Help! 1965 F100 dies/bogs/hesitates after 50mph
I went back to my old ways of just buying crap. I installed an electric fuel pump and actually made the situation worse. So through that I learned that the fuel tank pickup tube is clogged. I hooked up the pump and put a bucket under the front filter it was only pumping a trickle. So I bypassed the ...

Replaced the fuel pump yesterday. No help.
I am going to bypass the steel lines tomorrow.

Re: Help! 1965 F100 dies/bogs/hesitates after 50mph
The advance was plugged into a ported source. Vac gauge reads 15.
The pcv made no difference to performance. It definetly runs itself out of fuel
I am 90% sure I have a fuel supply problem

Re: Help! 1965 F100 dies/bogs/hesitates after 50mph
Yeah I'm about there. It's still acting up. Nothing has solved it.
It's definetly fuel though. My last ditch is swapping the pump again. Back to the original that I swapped for no reason...

Re: Help! 1965 F100 dies/bogs/hesitates after 50mph
I drove it around locally and it's done ok. I plan to venture about 40 miles of mixed today when I head to a dr appointment.
Other things I did to try and help the situation:
Added a coolant overflow bottle and bled the system.
Added a 2nd clamp to the fuel fill hose
Installed new vented gas cap

Re: Needing a reciever hitch to fit our trucks.
I built mine for free.... If anyone is I interested! Searched craigslist for a cheap hitch, the guy gave it to me for free after talking for a few minutes. I cut it up and welded the end caps back on and I have a free hitch. http://i1364.photobucket.com/albums/r723/CoreservicesTN/Mobile%20Uploads/im...

Re: 1965 F100 Stepside Turbo 302 Build (perpetual project)
I decided to swap manifolds, this set did not fit well. My new set showed up Friday. should have some updated photos shortly. I'm really excited to do this project. I know that patina builds, and trucks that stray from nut and bolt restores don't always please the crowds but it's what I have dreamed...

Re: Help! 1965 F100 dies/bogs/hesitates after 50mph
Thanks for the tips. I locked the dizzy at 15 degrees with the vacuum advance blocked off. This gave my a total of 32deg advanced at wot with the mechanical advance. I plan on test driving it tomorrow.

Re: Help! 1965 F100 dies/bogs/hesitates after 50mph
I checked TDC with the new balancer I installed. It was correct on the power stroke. Of everything I am concerned that when the engine was rebuilt they clicked the cam timing gear incorrectly...

Re: Help! 1965 F100 dies/bogs/hesitates after 50mph
That makes a lot of sense. I have been having issues with timing. I followed the procedure to a T about 20 times since buying this truck and have never been able to get it right. It seems happier at further advanced. I have it set at 12deg advanced right now with the vac. Advance hooked up although ...

Re: Help! 1965 F100 dies/bogs/hesitates after 50mph
I replaced the cap today, and bought some block off caps for the vacuum ports.
To be clear, to set the static timing I will block the vacuum advance and set the timing at idle speed to 15 deg advanced?
Thanks again.

Re: Help! 1965 F100 dies/bogs/hesitates after 50mph
Well it is very related to overheating. If I'm in traffic/at idle the truck starts shaking, running rough, idling low. The temp is over 200 unless I'm moving. I must be lean, too far advanced, clogged, no fuel supply... Something. If your timing has not been tuned put it in a safe zone. Plug off yo...

Re: Needing a reciever hitch to fit our trucks.
I just scored a free hitch off craigslist. It's a drawtight and will need to be shortened by a few inches, but it should fit behind the roll pan and be hidden!
