i had a cougar that i ran a short chain from an engine bolt to the frame. ... From: david mix To: Econosrus@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, December 01, 2007...
David, I was going to tell you about Jay's remedy but he beat me to it. I was also going to mention that I had my 200 rebuilt somewhat more than stock without...
This post is for those of you that have parted-out pickups sitting around. What I'm looking for is the bottom portion of the square piece that stops the...
I wrote before about how my headlights had infrequently refused to turn on (other lights worked), but a couple days ago they refused entirely. I replaced the...
I'm waiting for the rain to stop so I can go work on the gas sender. Meanwhile, I'm watching "Absolute Evel: Evel Knievel Story" on the History Channel. His...
all my internal engine components are stock; the only unusual stuff is a webber dvg 32/36 carb and a duraspark II (Jay's setup); stock exhaust manifold. My...
Jim, the 1.5 ohm coil and stock ballast wire combo sounds right to me. When Pertronix first started selling their units they weren't yet selling coils or high...
The chain idea is a good one - I'm running one on my '65 Falcon wagon (289). On mine it's a safety thing rather than a fix for a weak mount design. It took ten...
Joe, if you haven't checked it already try the high beam switch. The one on my Bronco occasionally goes into stupid mode and kills both lights. Jay in CA ... ...
The '65-67 crossmember will give you a much stronger engine mounting than the stamped arms used in '61-64. To install it you'll need to remove the original...
Ladies and Fentlemen, Boys and Girls of all ages, I got the replacement gas sending unit in late today. The gas gauge now works. Will learn just how accurate...
Jay, if I don't have anything to compare it to, how can I determine if the crossmember I have is 170 or 240? Brian in Naches, if you're reading this, do you...
Okay Bruthas- It seems as though I may be stuck with my old truck for awhile. So, I may as well make it better for me huh? The steering is a bit sloppy. ...
there are three[or four?]adjustments in the shop manual that may help. ... From: Mark Karol-Chik To: Econosrus@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, December 02, 2007...
i guess he doesn't realize that most of that is being reproduced. ... From: Ted Johns To: oldeconolines@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, December 02, 2007 10:27...
Jay, the circle slice in the radiator happens on Econolines, too. I clearly remember run/walking two miles through the bad part of Oakland to get to a phone...
Really? I have adjusted the steering box as best I can so what are the others? Mark ... Be a better pen pal. Text or chat with friends inside Yahoo! Mail. See...
Being a skier for almost fifty years, and having skied at Beaver Creek, Colorado on the very first day they ever opened (it was FREE that day) in the early...
Being a musician and an Econoline freak I know of a San Pedro based musician, Mike Watt, who used the term 'Econo'. It describes a way of life - as in economy...
Jay, is the backup light switch for automatics always combined with the neutral start switch? In other words, are they integrated in one package? Thanks. Bob...
Once again, Jay has hit the nail on the head. High beams worked, as it turned out. For now I've scavenged the switch out of my '67 DCW, which is laid up with...
Bob, if you lay a straightedge across the frame pads the tips of the engine pads on the 170 version will be about even with the straightedge. The engine pads...
Spooky, you're scaring me - a half turn is a LOT! First, try adjusting the box (if you haven't already). There are two adjustments, and they must be done in...
Brian, I do remember that day. I also remember the second incident about a month later where the water pump shaft let go and threw the fan through the new...
