Gary Lewis Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Got a little more disassembly done tonight. Took the intake and exhaust manifolds off as a unit. Anyone have any advice on gett those two bolt out that tie them together? They feel like they want to snap. Removed fuel pump. Organized wire harness. Also, Gary...I did find that yellow wire that I am supposed to use for the HEI coil power. Heat and penetrating oil, multiple times. Heat the bolts and then quench them with penetrating oil. Let it sit for a few hours and go again. Glad you found the wire. It can be hidden when not in use. But, it is plenty big enough to provide power for the ignition.

Hey Ray, I see somebody up here in Canada has some 300/6 intake and exhaust goodies for sale: https://www.kijiji.ca/v-view-details.html?adId=1427888065&siteLocale=en_CA&requestSource=b Asking $500 CDN (Approx $375 USD). Not a bad deal if one was looking for all of this stuff. No idea what the shipping would be or even if the seller will ship...but would likely be in the $75 range.

1986F150Six Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 My table says "Dark Blue" and that it was only used in '82. So I don't know that anyone will have truly the right color. But a one-size-fits-all place like LMC, with but one "blue", ain't likely to match. There were either 4 or 5 blues used in 7 years, so the odds of someone having the right ones is slim. I'd go with the "dark blue" and hope - assuming they aren't terribly expensive. Or, redo the originals? You can paint them the correct color with SEM. Just saw this and read "dark blue"... https://www.ebay.com/itm/L5813-1982-Ford-truck-Vinyl-NOS/133030271338?hash=item1ef938d96a:g:bSUAAOSwsc1bF~Ly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those parts look great! It is going to be fun installing those. Always good to go back with new parts. On the snapped bolt, did it snap where you can get to it with vise grips? Even better is to weld a nut to the to - if you have a welder. And a media blaster is great! Wish you lived closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary, bolt snapped flush. I will have to drill it. I have a crude sand blaster thats good enough for this job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
