Don't think so. The manual shows this wiring diagram and everything has to be wired into their control box.

Don't know. Haven't looked for one.

Ok, let's start this over. I WAS WRONG! I was looking for E2SZ 7F322-A and should have been looking for E2SZ 7F332-A. But, now that I've found 7F332 I see that E2SZ 7F332-A is not for our trucks. In fact, it isn't for a truck as the prefix should be either E1TZ or E4TZ. I'd have to go back into the other files to find out what line of cars "S" is for, but it ain't our trucks.

You are sooooo close! Gonna finish it this weekend? And the welding looks great. On the pics, open them in a photo editing app, which will usually re-orient them, and then save them. That saves the re-oriented version. But if you can save-as and make the file less than 1 Mb you don't have to use any of the "resizing" options and the pic will be bigger on our screens.

No, we don't have much surf in Okiehoma, so I wasn't doing that. As for LMC's harness, I've not heard anything bad about it other than that it takes an uncommon relay. But I wouldn't be afraid of it.

I built mine to use the sealed Bosch relays. Never have had a problem.

The one in Big Blue's front tank is aftermarket, and only a couple of years old when I got it. But even then it didn't work. Will show Full, then after 100 miles or so of going down as it should it usually goes back to Full.

Yes, E7UZ 9030-B is for 80/86 F250/350 - - 8 cyl, 460. (Notice that the MPC implies there was a 460 in years when there wasn't one.) And I suspect Bill's right - the heat does cause the front tank to build up pressure.

Scott - I hope that possum was dead. Those things can cause all sorts of infections if they scratch or bite you. Interesting about the mirrors. But no one will ever notice. And, they are pretty! But I'm not sure what the others are. Haven't seen them before.

That's a neat show, Cory! I love car/truck shows. In fact, I heard a rumor that there will also be a car show here the same day as our truck show.

I'm wondering if the gas in the tank got hot and pressurized the carb and pushed fuel into the intake, pretty much as you were saying, Rick. Is there supposed to be a check valve in the system to prevent that?

Yes, with carbs that's true. But, with an EEC-V system, it'll figure it out itself.

I wonder if the LMC's still use the obscure relays? I doubt the relays will fail, but glad you have spares. And, I agree with you on the light output. Big difference.

Glad you got it going, Eric. And, it apparently didn't cost much. Well done!

The #'s on the box for the register can't be read, so I can't say what it fits. But the switch is for: 83 E— F—U100/350 - - A/C-(dealer installed) 83/E150/250 — A/C dealer installed In other words, for F-Series & Broncos only 1983 models with dealer-installed air.

Catalog says EOTZ 7336-A fits 80/87 F100/350 w/a 3-speed tranny. And it is a SLEEVE (TRANSMISSION LOW and REVERSE LEVER TO HIGH and INTERMEDIATE LEVER).

I think that's about what I paid for mine. Haven't used it, but do plan to do. Pretty cool.

I don't find E2SZ 7F322-A in the catalog. In fact, I don't even find 7F322-A in the catalog. Last, not even 7F322. So I do not know what this fits, but either the listing has the wrong # or it isn't for our trucks.

Not for us. Fits 85 R — w/midship tank - gas 86/87 R — w/midship tank - gas except SuperCab

Fits 85/86 F250/350 - - w/19 gal. midship tank & a 460

Jonathan - I'm confident I'll like it. And, I'm sure Blacktop will as well when he gets his hydroboost installation done. Hopefully that will be soon and we'll get a report on it. He's well ahead of me as I fight the RSK battles.

Almost certainly. Other things to check would include all of the exterior lighting and aiming the headlights. And if you were looking for something else to do, the headlight wiring harness might be a good thing to do. You'll have bright lights for the trip. I hadn't considered aiming the headlights, but that's not a bad idea - I don't know if that's ever been done on this truck. As for the wiring harness...I've considered that off and on over the years, and I recognize the benefit of doing so. But I like having an unmolested truck; there are fewer and fewer as the years go by. I'm not sure I want to start down the modification road without good reason. Bear in mind as you consider the headlight relay harness that it prevents a potential meltdown of the wiring near the headlight switch. The connectors on the switch and wiring tend to lose connectivity over time. More specifically, the high current through the less-than-perfect connections causes heating, which causes them to lose their "spring" which causes the connection to get worse, which causes more heating, which...... I've not had it happen, but I do know several times in various forums we've diagnosed a headlight problem as a bad switch or bad wiring due to heat. Some found the connector on the switch itself burned, and some found the wire(s) close to the switch were melted - sometimes into another wire, causing a short. And, the power feed from the battery to the switch does not go through a fuse, just a fuselink, so it has some power. The original wiring and connectors were marginal when new - and they are now far from new. Ford changed that design several years after our trucks were made and put relays out under the hood so the switch and associated wiring just carries the pull-in current for the relay and not all of the current of the headlights. And that's exactly what the harness does for our trucks. Some of the harnesses that are commercially available are plug & play, meaning they can be added w/o cutting any wiring. That's the way I made mine, and it worked extremely well - the harness plugs into the headlight wiring on one end and into the headlight on the other. And if later you decide you don't want the harness in there you can unplug it and go back to the stock wiring.

Yes, it is certainly going to look great. And, it'll win lots of shows, just not the one this weekend. But, it'll be worth waiting for.

Yes, Erik is both accessible and willing to work with me. Actually, he wants to work with me as this kit is very new and they've only installed it on one Bullnose truck - and that required modification of the kit as well as twisting and bending things like I'm doing. Apparently the original design for that front bracket/spring hanger had it too far forward for the SuperDuty springs. And now, with my discovery yesterday, he's afraid they moved it too far back. He said they've sold the kit to a few "others", but I got the implication that they were kids that would modify them to fit, regardless. So he's very happy to work with someone who will consult with him when the problems arise and collectively figure out what needs to be done to resolve it. In the end he wants the kit to be "right".

I think so as well. I still have oil and coolant to change, but that’s trivial. My biggest problem will be resisting the urge to futz with something else. Is the spring compressor tool on order? Nope! It’s sitting on my workbench next to the valve holder tool, waiting for it’s moment of glory. Excellent! So the games begin on Saturday? Other things to check would include all of the exterior lighting and aiming the headlights. And if you were looking for something else to do, the headlight wiring harness might be a good thing to do. You'll have bright lights for the trip.
