I am reminded of a Yugo, Cory.

Welcome to the forum!

A co-worker is looking for a set of stock rims to fit a 1977 Bronco. Does anyone in the northwest Alabama area have any? Thanks!

Yes, Sir! Two puffs and the leak was evident.

Adjusting the curb idle speed should not affect the computer. My son's 1984 4.9L with original computer control is set at 10 degrees BTDC and the idle speed is about 650-700 RPMs.

That looks sharp!

Welcome! Some of us like six cylinder engines!

Through the years, I have asked regarding the "hash" marks. They are the same and seem to have nothing to do with being automatic or manual. They are the same regardless of engine or rear gears. I asked a retired Ford engineer and he did not know why and guessed it might have to do with calibration? In my truck is [was?] a NOS F600/800 medium duty speedometer which goes to 999,999.9. It is a replacement [service] unit designated by having red colored digits for the tenths. It, too, has the marks. The metric versions, which go to 999,999.9 kilometers, do not have the hash marks. The speedometers with resettable trip meters do not have the 35/41 marks, due to having the odometer set higher to make space at the bottom for the trip meter. I have attempted to see a pattern, unsuccessfully, in comparing the standard and metric [roughly]: 10/15 MPH = 16/24 KPH 35/41 MPH = 56/66 KPH 67/78 MPH = 107/125 KPH

And he had to downshift if he even saw a hill? Sometimes, even before! No kidding, it would go to about 40 MPH in 1st and idled @ 8 MPH!

Sometimes it pays to farm out!

For some good gas mileage data, look at Matthew's report [he has a 300 with C6]: Search for: My 2019 Show Report + MPG Data After taking my truck to work for the first time since the over drive install I can see it will be hard to do a comparison at 65MPH. When in OD the truck moves along at 70-73 MPH real easy at under 2000 RPM (more like 1800 RPM) . I have to work hard to keep it at 65 MPH in OD and was just over 1500 RPM Dave ---- My truck with 3.08 rear and 4 speed manual OD turns just over 1800 RPMs @ 65 MPH. My son's 1984 was "born" with 2.47 rear and 4 speed manual OD turned ~1450 RPMs @ 65 MPH and returned 26 mpg.

114.1miles, 11.0 gallons. 10.37mpg, Lots of highway at 3krpm.. +29.6%!

Quite innovative. Good work!
