My truck has one, Cory. I will get the measurements, but it will be Monday before being able to post them. -
Good results from a lot of work!

WHYDTYTT: What Have You Done To Your Truck Today?

Ford strong! Good job! -
Wild vacuum readings - ideas?

$700 to rebuild a Carter YFA? You can rebuild it yourself for about $40 and a weekend of effort. Even buying a rebuilt one off of eBay would only cost you $220: Rebuilt feedback carburetor Or, a new clone YFA on eBay for <$75, including freight. -

Trying to steer us back to the original thread topic, we must be careful not to "dog" it while on the MPG run! -
Is that a TV show reference? A bit before my time I think. What are you doing for wiring on Dad's truck Gary? I haven't had time to catch up on any of your projects recently, so I apologize if this has already been discussed. I don't want wiring older than me on my truck, so I'm leaning towards new, just not sure how yet. LMC sells a universal kit for reasonable money. I saw a link to a custom setup on FTE, but it's more than twice the price!

Gas mileage test [revisited]

David, MPG aside, let me know what you think of the mirrors for actually seeing behind you! PS: For "Man Cave" discussions, you can note that New Brunswick is where the Bricklin SV-1 was built during it's short lifespan in the mid 1970's. They were powered by a Ford 351w for at least part of the production run. Not sure how often you guys see them down south these days, but I see one every now and then in the summer months. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bricklin_SV-1 They still show up for sale as well. This one below is listed for sale in New Brunswick but is actually in Maine. https://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/fredericton/1975-bricklin-sv-1/1454189923?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true Regarding "man cave" discussions, previously, Cory supplied a motorcycle license plate from Nova Scotia. He recently shared with me that means: New Scotland. Cool! -

How about 8.4 to 1? And, no knock sensor? -
Gas mileage test [revisited]
1986F150Six replied to 1986F150Six's topic in Bullnose Enthusiasts Forum
Over the last few weeks, I have been talking about the Garagemahal Truck Show and the upcoming gas mileage test [revisited] with a group of men at a local breakfast restaurant. Today, one 75 year old man proceeded to give me some advice: 1. Drive with tailgate down or removed. 2. Add Lucas gas treatment to every other tank. 3. Use 100% gasoline. 4. Use higher than 87 octane fuel. 5. Replace air filter with a K&N filter element. I thanked him. -

Stay tuned as it will be reported, here, either by Gary while I am returning from the show, or me, later. I want to thank Cory, publicly, for the Type 5 mirrors. They arrived yesterday and look very nice! This weekend, they will be installed in preparation for the drive to Skiatook, OK, next week. Cory was also kind enough to include a New Brunswick license plate which will proudly be displayed on the wall of my "man cave".. Thanks, Cory! -

Absolutely! Even true in trucks. As I've said many times, I'd much rather tow with Blue than Big Blue. Perhaps that will change a bit with the new 460 and the ZF, but the old engine gave 11 - 12 MPG light while Blue gives 18 - 19 light. And towing - Blue gets 11 towing our 25' Sea Ray, and does so with ease while providing comfort to the passengers. 18 years ago, today... do not forget:

You are intelligent, Jonathan!
