  1. Might have to find a decent panel and paint it. I don't have any experience adding the wood trim.
  2. And, it can be had at Walmart [FL-1A] for $3.97!!! I read some where Motrocraft filters are made by Purolator. I use the Motorcraft also, unless Wally World is out, then I'll get Purolator or NAPA or Wix. Oh, or Hastings! Edit: Add Hastings!
  3. I have Chrome with an ad blocker, and I have them. The signatures didn't show up at first on Chrome. Can't remember why. Same thing?
  4. I got this. And then Outlook tried to open, I say try because I don't use it and don't have it set up.
  5. At least they don't want much for them. Yowsa!
  6. https://medford.craigslist.org/cto/d/medford-81-ford-150/6855227267.html Not many pictures. Looks pretty good though.
  7. Notch, where are you? I'm about an hour and a half away from Medford.

  10. https://medford.craigslist.org/cto/d/grants-pass-1982-ford-f150/6852211721.html Some dents and dings. Rare Windsor engine!
  11. Why use an electric switch to control a vacuum valve to control a vacuum motor? It's simpler to use a vacuum switch, which was standard equipment on '87-early '88 F-series & Broncos; and it would probably fit where the tank/rear window switch goes on a bullnose A/C control. To me it's easier. Wire in a switch and use it when I want to. Do you mean to get this vacuum switch and install it where convenient? Edit: Add question.
  12. I agree. There are some I don't post if I wouldn't consider it. This one is on the fence, if you will!

  14. I read that the valves can leak, and noticed mine is seeping. Just ordered this improved valve. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GT22JTC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1&pldnSite=1 I have this switch, never installed it as I have A/C and when I go to Max A/C the valve bypasses. Plumbed into the same line that closes the Max A/C door. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/vta-11542-vus Edit: Corrected link.
  15. "Ford had about 86,000 ways of managing EGR via vacuum. Browse the vacuum diagrams that Gary has to find some that look like they could have been how your truck was built, and start there. But generally: once the factory vacuum lines are ripped out, there's no going back. If you want it to run better, go FORWARD, to a newer engine with better controls & more-efficient emissions management." Yes, kind of where I'm at, leaving it as is, that is! I do have my vacuum diagrams to go off of. Thanks. "I have the EGR on my 300 i inline hooked up through ported vacuum. Like that the EGR valve only operates when I am going down the road and the engine is not under load and is at high vacuum. When the engine gets under a load and the vacuum drops, the EGR valve closes. That is how it was originally routed except I do not have the the temp controlled vacuum valve plumbed in at this time and probably will leave it like that as it is working just fine and my engine is happy." I do have a note to try the ported vacuum when the weather is better and I have time. Good to hear yours is working. Thanks.
  16. I don't think there is any Dexron II, Dexron III is available and is said to be backward compatible. https://www.valvoline.com/our-products/automatic-transmission-products/dex-merc-atf https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/NO_75200 I don't think Dexron II was synthetic. It was a group 2 base oil. Edit: Added another link.
