Nice work.. Working on these rusty vehicles can be a real pain. If you do manifold replace, and are keeping truck for long term.. go with stainless shorty header. Next vehicle you need to fluid film.. I deal with the crummy road salt rust here, and the only way to to go is fluid film, or similar. Thanks for sharing your journey

I am confused.. I have never seen a stator on a car/truck.. stators are on boats .. riding mowers etc .. If a vehicle has a alternator it DOESNT Have a stator. a stator replaces a alternator and provides power to the recharge the battery..your truck has a alternator .. So where is this stator you speak of ??

Same issue on my Ford tractor. I marked (just in case!) and turned the adjuster plate on top of the centre bobbin to put more load on the spring, (in other words used a wider diameter of the cam) and the voltage then increased to around 13.1V with the engine running at working speed. I reckon that's good enough, we'll see. If not, it's just €35 and 20 minutes fitting for a brand new unit, so no biggie.

It seems like Ford pairs their best _looking_ vehicles with their worst choices _mechanically._ I wasn't a fan of the Ford F150 redesign following the heels of the Dodge '94 redesign, but by this point the trucks looked decent. Mechanically though, between the early Modulars physically throwing plugs and requiring helicoils, later ones' plugs breaking off in their bores when trying to replace them, plus the slew of other issues, it's just a shame that they couldn't pair something mechanically reliable with something that looked good. I had a '93 Thunderbird with the 3.8, was my first car. It blew a head gasket and by that point it was mechanically totaled since it wasn't worth the cost of an engine swap and any direct replacement would have been just as failure-prone. Again, nice _looking_ car, mechanically very much problematic.

Thanks Steve, Mine is a 505-637 and just for fun I cut a strip of soda can just to get a feel for the teeth location and when I felt it bind up I stopped. Sounds crude however I closed the caliper and it when 180 degrees from 3 o clock to 9 o clock. Tried it a second time with less presser and closed the caliper and was dead on 12 o clock. How luck did I get. Thanks for the tip. Never loosened the jib screws or anything. Now I need to inspect the rack with the stereo scope as it has a weird feel at .350 but still measures nicely. Thanks
@AnthonyFrancisJones18 күн бұрын
There is a very quick way to do this (though probably a bit of a bodge!) If, as with mine the screws holding the leaf spring are too tight to remove instead of a metal shim place a small piece of sellotape over a few of the teeth on the rack. Then run the pinion over it. Check the setting. A few attempts and you can get very close to a vertical zero with minimum time, kit and effort! Note, as I am sure you know, keep the rack really clean. Tiny chips of metal can get caught in the rack's teeth gaps and cause the pinion to ride up and miss teeth. Thanks for the great video!

Alot of times it's worth it to buy those old table saws cheap just for the motors on them. I've found old contractor saws on fb marketplace for less than $100 that had Dayton or Baldor motors on them that work perfectly fine, but by themselves new cost hundreds of dollars. I now have spare motors for my table saw, band saw, etc. that would have hurt if I'd have to buy them new. The rest of those old saws just get sold for scrap steel as they really aren't worth much as a saw because most folks want new ones with riving knives or splitters so they don't have to worry about kickback. Now, my personal saw is a vintage Rockwell with no safety features whatsoever, but I have a healthy respect for it and use it properly. If you do decide to take it apart to clean it, I'd recommend getting some new sealed bearings for the arbor as you're going to have it apart anyways.
