    Frame reinforcement plate spacers

    @ntsqd If you have the luxury of being able to produce a spacer with the correct surface, AND if you make a spacer with a surface area face of sufficient area...then of course that is an excellent design. But the OP is dealing with the handful of thinwall spacers that he has, and I assumed...

    Frame reinforcement plate spacers

    If you have adequate support on both sides, then the outer plate does nothing except make the bolts longer. But the inner plate allows you to use a full nut on the rearmost bolt...since you can notch the plate around the cross-member ear. I'll check to see if I have any in my old photos. My...

    Frame reinforcement plate spacers

    Well, yeah...you are asking the right questions. But you need to answer the question that you didn't ask before you get too far along. Do you need to do a repair to the inside of your frame? Or are you hoping to just drop the new spacer "nearby." If you don't need to grind out your original...

    Hand Throttle Required Parts

    The 3 rods, and bracket are not part of the hand throttle system. All of that hardware is mounted in the engine compartment between the pedal rod and the carburetor. It is there to ensure that you do not have a runaway throttle in the event that you break the LH motor mount. I think in 1976...

    James Duff lower coil retainers don't look right

    The factory coil cup is designed to have a relief formed into the coil base to allow for full support of the last coil "pigtail" as the spring is formed. It is also designed to hold the spring securely to the radius arm. I would surmise that the design engineer and process engineering team in...

    Limited slip differential installation.

    It's worse than you think. The 1310 and 1330 both have a 1-1/16 diameter cap. BUT... The "big cap" 1330 is almost as big as the 1350. It is the same 3-5/8 wide, but has a 1-1/8 diameter cap, instead of 1-3/16. It is also called the "1330 Ford joint" because it is often used in F250's of the...

    Limited slip differential installation.

    Well, let's get geeky... The universal joint has 3 fundamental failure parameters at nominal angle. Continuous Torque, Short Duration Torque, and Minimum Elastic Limit. These are Spicer Dana terms, so I like to use them. (Keep in mind that the Spicer Minimum Elastic Limit includes Brinneling...

    170 c.i. Motor

    He said he has the 3 speed in the Chassis now, so pretty good chance he has that exact intermediate housing holding it all together...

    170 c.i. Motor

    I would defer you to our site. We have great details. Some of us are just reluctant to reply, because it ends up consuming too much bandwidth for questions that have been asked, and answered. @B RON CO gave you 100% correct advice, and if you read his post, it answers your question PERFECTLY...

    D44 inner C cut & turn

    I agree. The only other acceptable paint scheme is the random blue paint stripe indicating that you bought your axle from the truck section of the pick-n-pull. Also important to write in indelible yellow paint stick on the cover a large "710" and "ON" I'm not joking. Lots of rigs out here...

    To Lock, or Not to Lock... That is the Question

    Because the 9 inch is a straddle pinion design, and about 5-10 times stronger than anything Toyota ever put in a pickup. The Toyota's lack of the straddle pinion bearing support allows for a "normal" sized differential carrier to be utilized. This is also true of the Mopar 8-3/4 solution in...

    Flywheel Question

    If a V8 Bronco left the factory with a clutch that functioned, it had to be bolted to a bell housing with a clutch pivot provision. The only bell housing available in 1966 with a clutch pivot boss was the C5TA-6394-A, and they are always for a 14.25 diameter, 164 tooth ring gear. So...

    Flywheel Question

    It does NOT, and I should have been more specific in my post, but the OP said it was a 1975. That 164 tooth passenger car flywheel is one of the three patterns that I'm looking for. But I don't know the pattern of the LUK 07-027 and their literature doesn't tell me. So the three patterns I...

    Flywheel Question

    Post of pic of the flywheel with a tape measure on it, or tell me the bolt pattern. I already KNOW it's a 164 tooth, so I know it's 14.25 OD. But there are 3 possible clutch bolt patterns. If you have a Bronco Flywheel, then the LUK 07-027 is ALMOST never the right clutch. The listings are...

    Front 4.89 rear 4.86?

    I'm pretty sure that the guy at Dana Spicer that engineered the F250 axles and put 41/10 = 4.10 in the Dana 60 rear and 45/11 = 4.09 in the Dana 44 front was probably able to consult with himself...

    Electric fuel pump with two tanks HELP

    Nonsense. Your pump placement is fine. You are sucking air, or have a restriction. You could mount a Carter P0470 pump on the front bumper, and as long as it has a leak free connection to the tank...it would deliver fuel. Remove all of the nonsense between the inlet of your pump, and...

    More efficient starting method than solenoid?

    I don't know about 1/4 of the weight, but I do know that the 1984 Ford F250 with a 6.9L Diesel came from the factory with a Delco-Remy 25823 Starter that produced 3.0Kw and weighed 31.6 lbs. The 1996 Ford F250 with the 7.3L Diesel was equipped with a Mitsubishi designed Delco-Remy 99402 starter...

    Sterling 10.5 vs 9" hybred axle

    Uhm...You might want to research this. The unit bearing "full float" axle in the F150 with max tow is an enormous pile of crap, and it is the cause of a giant recall, and Ford does not have a solution. The Recall just looks for the broken off bolt laying in the hub cap, and then replaces it...

    Sterling 10.5 vs 9" hybred axle

    If you want to torture yourself, and if you can live with a 67 inch wide axle WMS, then the 2004-2006 Dodge SRT-10 Dana 60 has got to be in the mix. It has enormous disc brakes, internal shoe parking brakes, 5x5.5 wheels and 1.5-35 spline c-clip semi float axles. And you can get them for about...
