Probably not the appropriate place for this, but does anyone know if the 1985 model of steering column is interchangeable between the 2wd and 4wd models? It looks like it's almost a two piece column, but I didn't get to look at it that long. I have a column with a bad ignition switch and busted shif...

Hello All, I've been foolin' with 78-79 Broncos lately and I knew one of you would have the answer. Did 78-79 Ford trucks and Broncos offer a more hard core off road package? That sounds kinda redundant on a 4x4, but I've seen Broncos with dual shocks on the front end with a skid plate and some with...

Hey Guys, Thanks for all the input. Actually, what I have is a 1979 Bronco frame that I would like to put a 66 cab and front end on. I also have a small block from a 65 Mustang I would like to use for the engine. The Bronco has the bigest freakin 4 speed transmission I've ever seen connected to the ...

Could someone post the correct timing and point gap for a 240 6 cylinder?
I thought is was .022 and 6 degrees TDC.


Thanks

Hello All,
I have a 4 speed from a big block FE engine. Will this work with a small block by just changing out the bell housing?

Thanks for any info.

Hello All, I've replaced the 240 in my 65' with a 300 long block. When trying to initially start it, it tries to fire the first couple of turns then won't do anything. My question is how do I know the timing is near correct? Should I have my wife turn it over while I turn the distributor in either d...

Hello All, After a few weeks of work, the new engine is in and ready to fire up. In addition, we are moving and my wife packed my wiring diagram. Could anyone verify, the red wire goes to the battery side of the coil. The wire from the distributor goes to the neg side. That is how it is wired now an...

I know this isn't the parts section, but it's not for sale, it's free. I bought a 65 f100 with this six cylinder. I got it running but knew something was not right as soon as it started. I put an oil gauge in the block and it had no oil pressure. So consider this engine a rebuilder although it did r...

I did it a long time ago and It worked with a 289. Although I don't remember the pedal linkage that connects to the side of the engine block lining up just right. Let me know if you heard something else.

Hello All, I'm putting a small block (289) in my 65' that had a 240 with no oil pressure. I'm sure someone has done this lately, but it looks like there are holes to move the engine mounts back a few inches on the frame. I'd like to use the 3 speed transmission and still hook up the clutch as it was...

Hello All, I'm looking to replace a 66' 240 6 cylinder with an 86' 300. I believe the blocks are the same. The only difference is the 300 has the original electronic ignition distributor. My questions are should I; A. Keep this distributor and replace it with a new ignition module and such. Any reco...

Hello All,
The 77-79 Ford engines were the same block as far as the 351m and 400 goes, correct? Meaning the heads and intake are the same on both engines. Or the whole block is the same as well?
Thanks for the info.

There is a limit on how much money you make to be able to use this program.

Hello All, When buying a kit to rebuild your carbs, is there one brand better than others? I'm also assuming they all come with pretty good instructions. Is there anything to watch out for? I'll be doing a 79' model 2 barrel then maybe moving up to a 85' 4 barrel. These are both stock Motorcraft car...

Just got back from a vacation in the NW. Oregon and Washington State. I thought Texas had a lot of clean old Fords, but per capita, I think Oregon and Washington State has Texas beat. Or maybe they all just drive on the 101. I took the ferry to Seattle from Bainbridge Island on Friday about noon. An...

So I scored a really nice 65 swb stepside. Very clean and straight. The PO said he had it running. I went to pickup and it wouldn't start. So went ahead at took it home. After trouble shooting the spark problem (thanks guys), I got it to start. I knew something wasn't right. I shut it down and stuck...

Didn't someone in Argentina or somewhere on the southern hemisphere put one of the Nissan six cylinder diesels in his slick? Of course everything he wrote about it was in spanish. This was on the old site.

Hello All,
Is there an online reference for the years that 289 parts will interchange with 302 parts? I just talking about heads and manifolds (both). Also, is there an online reference telling you the year from the numbers on the blocks and heads?

Thanks for any info.

B.

Let me know.
