read somewhere that the headers maybe are in the way..Fits any box from newer trucks?.. hard to find here.

Have reed that someones in here have converted their slicks with Toyota Powersteering. Would preciate if someone could tell me what kind of model/year that is most recomended.

Know this is a regular question but cant find the thread. I badly need a powersteering in my F250 Twin I-Beam -66, but dont know the parts to look after.

lots of fords use the same springs. they are tiny, only about 1 1/2 " long at the most but very stiff. might ask at your local auto parts or even a junkyard if theres one close by you. otherwise if you cant find any i can send you a couple, cost of shipping those even from Alaska to Sweden sho...

Need an automatic gearbox instead of my three on a tree. 390 in a 250 is not good for my wallet. Need an overdrive real baaad.Witch one can stand the power of an 390.

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...

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.

Just bought mine from DC. Complete whit gaskets and bolts.

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.

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.

Sweeeeeet. I like it. Hope my flair side bed comes out that nice. Welcome to the family. U@ss Thanks! It looks really good from 10+ feet away. Has rust in the usual places, though. Runs good: original 292 rebuilt less than 12K miles ago, Edelbrock carb, tiny little chrome air cleaner. Anxious to ge...

Maybe its no good idea.Dont realy know how much gas it saves. Think my heavy gasfoot is a bigger problem.

Alan. I try to have my Slick on the road all summer. Soon comes winter and more time for fix and tricks. And last winter we had 30 cm snow. Couldnt hardly come into the garage when it was windy.

Does it exist? And if so, do they work good. Need better mileage. It costs around 100 USD here to fill her up. and shes empty less than a week later.

Allan. That was a nice job you have done but I ordered a new hinge during my holiday from Carpenter.

[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.

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.
