Fixing Eddie

Hi.

Yes, I think you are right about which way they shall be mounted. I don`t have a vacuum pump, and I don`t manage to suck through them with my mouth. And I really suck hard. My wife says I smell/taste gasolin, wonder why http://www.garysgaragemahal.com/uploads/6/5/8/7/65879365/laughing-25-x-25_orig.gif. Next stepp is getting the carburator back on, so I can test for vacuum at the EGR vacuum port.

Changed steering coupler, Lares 206. Tips ? Notice how its put together before dismounting. Two of the included screws are to short. I had longer myself as they were 8mm size. You need an 10mm Unbraco screw to replace the original mounting screw. There is not room for the head of the original. In the photos you can see how soft the old coupler was. 6mm play.. This helps for the steering. Used a nitril working glov to cover the old cracked rubber around the joint.

Putting the carburator back in. Cleaning the intake carefully to avoid getting debris inside engine. Moderator, please tell me if there is to many photos. Does somebody recomend using a sealant under the gasket against the intake under the erg block ? And if so, which one ? I believe there must be some extra heat and pressure there ?

No sealant, but the updated pink plastic Motorcraft gasket holds up much better than 'foil' gaskets.

I'm just an admin, but you are welcome to post as many pictures as you like.

Our software has a limit of 1Mb per image though. That's why we recommend using the "large image" option, as it automatically resizes your file.

Yesterday someone posted a rubber boot that fits your steering shaft.

I will try to link the post. 👍

Here is the thread: http://forum.garysgaragemahal.com/Steering-shaft-boot-tp85554.html

Evidently it is in stock at Amazon in the U.S..

Jim is right on both counts. No such thing as too many pics. And no sealant.

But, on the pics, there are a couple of options. The best approach is to edit your file to make it less than 1 mb in size. That will make your pic as sharp and clear as possible.

Or, as Jim said, you can use "Big Size" if your files are large. But then your picture itself won't be very large, as you've see. However, if you want you can adjust the width to make it larger, although if you make it too large it can be blurry. Here's one of your pics and here is the code for it w/o the in front and behind it, and I've made what I've added to it to make it large bold so you can see:

Interesting how the 5.8 controls the plenum exhaust crossover.

My 460 never had anything like that. Just a restriction in the "Turkey pan" intake gasket.

Yes, the 351W had a different way of controlling the crossover. Straight out of Chrysler's playbook as the Super Bee's 383 had a similar valve. But the Chryslers had a single valve and the 351W had two. I've never understood the need for the 2nd one.

Hi.

Thanks for your feed back. This evening I removed the rusted oil lines from the automatic transmission.I will replace them with copper lines. I bought a Hayden 698 oil cooler. Should I route the oil lines only through the Hayden oil cooler, or via radiator and oil cooler ? Whats your opinion ? There will be no towing, and the summer temperatures are rarely more than 20`C / 68`F For fun I bought a Glow Shift Gauge so I can monitor oil temperature. I will also mount a transmission oil filter. Have a nice day.

Mark Kovalsky (former Ford transmission engineer) says to have the transmission cooler lines plumbed through the radiator header last.

Because the transmission is meant to operate at fluid temperatures found there.

Too cold is almost worse than too hot, and having them in the radiator warms the fluid up faster and maintains a stable temperature.

Yes, that's the best way. That way if you ever drive the truck in cold weather, and I know it can get really cold there, the coolant will help warm up the transmission lube.
