Jonathan Posted May 13, 2021 Author Share Posted May 13, 2021 After installing the new fuel pump I tested that it could pull a vacuum. After that I put a fuel container on the ground and let it pump up the fuel whilst cranking the engine. The test worked good so it looks like I am ready to install the fuel tank. I also installed the threaded fuel filter on the carburetor. It seemed not to want to stop when I was screwing it in. I worried I might crack the carburetor. So I just snugged it up and didn't try to go any tighter. If it leaks I can always tighten up some more. I ran into another delay installing the fuel tank. Inline Tube got back to me yesterday. I thought they forgot about me and I would have to just run with the short line but they said the line tech found an alternate pattern that matches my original and will whip one up for me and ship it out. So I don't want to install the tank and remove it again so going to hold off for now. I may try to start the truck from a gas can because I really want to hear it run for the first time for some motivation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzFace2 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 I see the clip is on the valve cover and not the air filter assembly like I thought Guess you are right. If you have the under hood vacuum line sticker it's not hard to follow. If Jonathan has all the parts, mainly the purge valve, then shouldn't be too hard to run the lines. Dave ---- Thanks Dave, I think the purge valve is not hard to find on eBay but I am having trouble isolating what it is connected to it. It looks like more then just vacuum lines. It appears to be a connection of sorts. I wish I could find some good pictures of a complete and accurate truck. Yours is a vacuum purge and not electric or right? Let me look at my sticker when I get home to see if I can shed some light on this. Oh I don't have any purge valve or I would take a picture or 2.

Thanks for checking your sticker when you get a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mind if I share the picture here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Posted May 13, 2021 Author Share Posted May 13, 2021 I found this picture online that said this was from an 81'. Interesting the location of the purge is in a different spot close to the tee of the carb and not next to the PCV. https://nc4x4.com/forum/threads/project-84-f150-fishing-truck-aka-the-blue-horse.190263/page-2 So far from what I can tell I need these two parts. Does anyone know what the full part number would be? I am starting to think that bundle connected to the purge valve is just vacuum lines and maybe another tee wire tied together and not another part. 12A245 Two Way Delay Valve 9B963 Canister Purge Valve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To do that, go to Documentation/CALIBRATION INFO & PART #'S and read the intro. Perhaps you have the calibration code on the valve cover? If not, go to the Application To Parts List tab. There you'll find a bunch of #'s for various trucks and you can get it down to a short list of #'s for your truck based on the various parameters. Then go to the Parts Lists tab and scroll down to those lists and compare them. You may find that they all use the same delay and purge valves, which will answer your question(s).

I'm going to assume this is the three port connector. I was definitely wrong in thinking you had the solenoid you show for California. Later 4.9's had a bank of solenoids stop the valve cover. I guess these are what I have seen. But obviously I haven't seen it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Which is a challenge on my phone) We've already determined you don't have the California system with a solenoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
