Papelione Posted March 25, 2020 Author Share Posted March 25, 2020 I'm glad it helps. Good luck! Hi Still on the Reading and preparing stage, wondering if any of you guys have ideas to read up on rebuild renovating the 7,5 460 engine. Would love to follow a blog on a diy mek on that engine. Any ideas og good reads? Best regards Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best regards Christian Consider what you want from it (or what would make it better for you) very carefully before committing it to the machine shop. I've made choices that haven't been best, but the 7.5 still keeps plugging along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a short-block, an engine w/o heads or pan, from him and may not have been able to beat his price much by having the work done locally. However, shipping heavy things is expensive, especially to far northern Norway, so I can see the desire to do it locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi guys At last snow cleared up here for a moment at last, got the truck out of Storage in late april and been using it daily since then. Having not owned a full size pick-up before it is a real pleasure just dumping Things in the back and not puzzling to get it in the Family car. Been doing some small Things too, rear bumper was wire brushed and painted, mounted the to trim parts that was missing. Rubbed it With turpintine, will problably apply penzole flood later on. Choke was stuck got that fixed for now, and will start right up now. But within first 5 min after Cold start up I have to rev it otherwise it dies on my, trid idling it while watching the choke plate and would open up slowly in 3 min, which I think is normal? Carburator rebuild or cleaning? Holley H4-4180 i believe. Othervice just been getting to know it camping and enjoying the truck. Here\s som Pictures from lat month:=) Camping this weekend, glad I have Heavy sleeping bag :=) Hauling outdoor Furniture, rear bumper off;=) Found this truck that was being demolished and agreed With owner. Got some Things Mirrors, Chairs, center console, and New rear bumper. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the choke, it sounds like the fast idle isn't adjusted properly. There are two different Ford publications on servicing that carb here: http://www.garysgaragemahal.com/holley-4180c.html. Go to the Ford Service Manuals tab and then the 4180C-4V tab. On Page 10 is the discussion about adjusting the fast idle. However, before you do as they say and rotate the choke cap 45 degrees, note where it is set now so you can put it back. And, personally I'd not bother with bending the wire. I would just give the screw half a turn or so and see if that doesn't bring your idle up while the choke is on. You may need more, you may need less, so keep track of how much you turn it so you can put it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is cool, but not as cool as the 512 on the wall behind the headliner! 😉 A beautiful Country there Christian! I'm sure you will make the best of long summer days in the outdoors.

It's so close behind your head you may as well be in the engine compartment. No use for a radio in one of those cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friday update Last weekend we went for a long camping trip with truck, sleep in tent for 3 nights, truck was great. Had an incident though with at battery cable that lost its cable shoe, but that was easy fix. Back home I started out with two things In have looking to fix. First was bad Wiper switch, that I changed working nicely now. After that I tried to figure out why car won't start with key, previous owner have made an arrangement with starter button under dash, connected to + on battery and starter solenoid and will start fine so. Key will turn on heater and fuel pump but not crank. Dug in to column and changed key cylinder and ingnition switch, but problem was ignition actuator rod that was broken, had to order from ebay and waiting on it to reach Norway... But when I push the rod that goes into the ignition switch, it cranks but will not start, any thoughts on were to look, since it will start with bypass button but only crank with ( pushing the rod). ? lastly I got an offer too swap my bench seats with some nice bucket seats from a fellow bullnosian, thoughts ? Have a nice weekend Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
