Gary Lewis Posted December 17, 2020 Author Share Posted December 17, 2020 Reasons why I dont spend much time on garys website anymore. Truth is truth. If I cant discuss truth because it might hurt someones feelings, I'll discuss it elsewhere. Love the site, and I love gary, and I respect his rules. But it doesnt feel like America in here. Feels more like a liberal corp with snowflake policy and safe spaces. But I love everyone here, and love the site. Just dont agree with some policy. Ray - The site is to discuss Ford trucks, and maybe a Chizzler here and a boat there. But not religion nor politics. Both of those are extremely divisive and will drive a wedge between the members here if allowed to be discussed. Now, back to our previously-scheduled program. I marked up the fog light bracket to help me when I make the permanent one, and then removed it and the lights for the trip tomorrow. And now I'm re-installing the previous speed control servo to get that feature working again. And perhaps the throttle return spring will take the oscillations out. I'll jack the idle stop screw up a bit to get the hot idle back to maybe 600, then take the truck for a ride to see if the speed control works and get it warm. Then when I get back I'll adjust the idle speed & AFR and check the timing. Back soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw it coming awhile back when I voluntarily resigned admin privilages. But I have to finally call it. If this online garage is full of men too sensitive to disagree with one another, this aint the place for me. Farewell amigos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary, apologies if my post brought up religion (but tangential to the idea of rejecting something because of one instance) Hope your shake down goes as well as mine, yesterday. Everyone, please feel free to offer up in the carb & tuning thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep saying Gary he and I bicker like old women. But we're all respectful of the rules and each other. I'm not going to get in someone's face because I disagree. And I'm (hopefully) not being offensive to this 'family oriented' forum. There's always IH8Mud or other forums if you want to stir the pot or cause a ruckus.

Gary Lewis Posted December 17, 2020 Author Share Posted December 17, 2020 Unsubing Back from my test of the speed control, and I'm sorry to see the above. I like Ray and am sorry to see him go. But I am also sure that a Ford truck forum is no place for debates on religion and politics. I'll report on what I found on the test in a bit...

While I may not agree with all rules and I find it hard to avoid minor cursing since cursing is so common in my field of work I still try to follow the rules mainly cause this is an alternative site to FTE for asking questions. Just like I use Muscle Fords Forum for my more generic performance questions that I may not get answered on FTE or on here. Such as on my single exhaust sizing. Ive gotten a few different answers between these three places from going as planned or changing my plan to have 2 1/2" tail pipe as well to just going 3". Sure didnt make life easy for me as I still am not sure which way to go just like I was before I posed the question lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure didnt make life easy for me as I still am not sure which way to go just like I was before I posed the question lol. Ok, here's the report from a 15 mile drive: Alignment: Much better. Still not one where you can go to sleep, but now you can take your eyes off the road to find a control w/o worrying where it might go Idle: My guess of 1/4 turn on the idle stop screw was pretty close as it got me ~650 RPM at hot idle. Speed Control: It works! So I checked the initial advance, which was at 12 BTDC, and bumped it up to 15. Checked the AFR at idle and it was ~14, which is too lean IMO. Adjusted the idle AFR and found max vacuum and RPM and then gave it just a bit more gas. Wound up at 11:1 on the AFR, 650 RPM, and 18 1/2" of vacuum. Now for the speed control. As said, it works. BUT, it isn't as smooth as I think it should be. We are back to the original servo and all functions work. However, as you crest a hill it lets off too much and then has to come back in, only to back off a bit too much again. So I'm thinking of changing out the electronics.....
