  1. That's top notch, gotta gun rack in 'er!
  2. Ferninand was having problems with the firing order because a different cam was installed. Thought I'd mention that.
  3. Nice Bronco! I like the 351W in my Bronco. Funny, I'm the opposite, if it was a red interior it wouldn't be screaming my name. Had a red on red 88 7.3 4x4 though.
  4. Good point. I had thought of that, then was convinced I wanted normally closed, don't know why.
  5. I would try for options 1 and 2. Hopefully a transfer case that would give you the clearance.Can you lower the cross member?
  6. 85 lebaron, thanks. I think you mentioned that before and I forgot or didn't get it. Found this oil pressure switch for a LeBaron, https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=932295&cc=1064641&jsn=629 I'll have to get this going soon. Edit: Found this I can get locally I hope! https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/TWR86272BX
  7. https://klamath.craigslist.org/pts/d/medford-exhaust-manifold/6845182555.html I don't know if they are correct or not. Thought someone may be looking. My 1978 Ford Van with the 351W would crack one manifold on the right side I believe. They all did it, my JY searching ended getting the best one I could find for $10. Had a friend weld it, he did a good job.
  8. Wow! Adventurous you are! I read again about your fuel in the oil. My connector is bad for the oil pressure switch for the fuel pump relay. I wired it together, so I too have the pump on with the ignition on. I know about it, but got me thinking. Since I can't find a replacement, I may wire in a toggle switch in the cab.
  9. That's where I was born! Kokomo, Indiana. I agree, I had an 88 with the 7.3. Some people complain about how they start. Glow plugs are easy to check and change. I ended up going through all the wiring and components for the glow plug system and replacing or repairing as necessary and she started good!
  10. If it's not rusted bad that's not too high IMO. Except the high miles.
  11. I agree with Gary. My truck would slow crank, but only when warm, because of timing advance.Check the battery and cables. Also some parts stores will check your battery and starter for you.
  12. Nice! Interesting that they put a serpentine belt system on it. Edit: I like where they put the gauges, I probably wouldn't put them there.
