Rembrant Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Gents, I was walking through the junkyard this morning and I happened to come across a Bullnose that still had the elusive oval rubber plug in the firewall. If anybody is looking for one of these, let me know. Most guys want them to plug the firewall hole when converting from the feedback system to Duraspark ignition, or when converting a later 1985.5-1986 EFI truck to carb. Anyway...people are looking for them from time to time...I believe Frogger2662 was searching for one a while back, although I can't remember if that was 2months or 2 years ago LOL. In any case, free to a good home, if you NEED it...I don't want to give it to someone who is going to throw it in a junk bin. If no one needs one currently, I'll mail it to Gary for the swap meet.

Gary Lewis Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Here was the thread I was thinking of with Frogger... https://forum.garysgaragemahal.com/Oval-rubber-plug-td148498.html#a148511 Cool! It would sure be nice if there could be a material we could use to 3D print the various body plugs as some, like this one, are very hard to find.

Gary, These particular plugs seem to be way more common up here as I think the majority of our Bullnoses kept the DSII ignitions right up until the end in 1986. In any case, I grab them when I see them. I've had a few now that I mailed out to other Bullnosers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rembrant Posted September 4 Author Share Posted September 4 Sir, I would like to purchase it form you!!! Regards, Todd Hi Todd, Do you still have the 1981 F100 in your signature? I don't think this plug is needed unless you have an 84-86 truck. Gary correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think this oval hole showed up in the firewall until 1983 or 1984?

thelastkeg Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 I recently changed my 86 inline 300 to an HEI distributor since the original feedback carb was already gone when I got the truck. Boy, having a distributor that advances sure made a difference. But what I haven't done yet is remove all the unnecessary wiring. There appears to be a lot that can be removed, but it seemed like intermixed in there was stuff that needed to stay. Are you saying that on an 86 truck, if I've switched to a regular carb and DSII or HEI, all of the wiring out of that oval hole can just be removed from under the hood?

My truck is at a paint shop getting redone. I've striped the engine bay and wasn't sure.. Thank you Todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frogger2662 Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Rembrant, I will take that plug if you still have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford F834 Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Interesting… I did not know this plug was a desirable item. I will have to double check when I get home but I think my crew cab has this. Perhaps junkyard 6.9 IDI’s might be a source for these… Non-catalyst 460 and 351 HO also??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
