Don't mean to rain on your parade either Phill but the 82 year model is the year (according to what I read on Ford Muscle) when Ford made the...
Phil you didn't stir anything up just asked a question. I think a couple of us are saying about the same things just in different ways. I...
I was going to say have the rods reconditioned. Unless you are going for high performance. Most of your questions depend on what you expect out of...
Not sure about this but couldn't you just pull the distributor and see what kind of gear it has on it to determine if it is a roller cam or not? I...
A Richmond Lock-Rite also has 4 springs in it BUT in the picture the part where the bolts go that hold the 2 halves together are not stock FORD I...
Even with a 4 speed you still have to have the right tooth count and balance on the flywheel. Early 302's pre 82 need 28oz later 302's post 82...
That is pretty much what I am saying. The transmission doesn't care what balance/imbalance the flex plate or flywheel is so long as it is the...
I feel that if you know a little about the car you are driving, even if it does break down these old Ford cars and trucks we drive are so simple...
Very good way to put it to words facelessnumber. That is about what I was trying to say. lol clint
That is the best indicator of the differences between the 2. Good pictures. clint
I would like to start the 200 in my 72 before I do anything with it. The throttle shaft is stuck pretty bad on the Autolite 1v that is on the...
You can just change the gear on the Distributor but you need to make sure the old gear did not get torn apart and throw metal all over the inside...
I beg to differ on this. It is all about the engine. a 302 before 80-81 or whenever they did the change over had a balance of 28 or so oz. After...
Until I bought the 86 Bronco about 2 years ago my 71 F100 was my daily driver for many years. It had a back yard restoration about 10 years ago...
Yeah those are some ugly distributors. The 4 pin module is all I am using and it doesn't say chevy anywhere on it. lol Just in case though I have...
The imbalance changed around 80-81 or so. Since you pulled the engine from an 82 and put it in an 87 the imbalance was the same. The 73 has an...
Another option is an HEI conversion. I have ot on my F100 and like it OK. I know some people won't put chevy parts in their trucks or cars but I...
I got it loose. It was the front. The adjustment wheels was stuck as well so I could not back it off. I took some good advice from a member here...
Where are the build sheets located on a 72 Maverick? I got the seats out of my 72 today and pulled the carpet hoping to not pull the front and...
OK, got the rear seat out after about killing myself and re-rupturing the discs in my back. I don;t think a man is meant to make the movements to...
