When the valve is closed it directs some exhaust to the bottom of the intake manifold. When it is open the flow is directed out the exhaust pipe....
No, it doesn't use water for pre-heating. It mates to the exhaust manifold as the stock intake does and is warmed by the exhaust flow from the...
So it turned out that one of the new carburetors was assembled in such a manner that the metering block was not sealing against its gasket inside...
I apologize if this is an old question answered many times.....I've searched but not found the solution. I have a rebuilt 223 modified with the...
I just finished with that change last week. 300 distributor modified with a bored out 223 gear and a shortened and ground down oil pump shaft. I...
Sorry, there's a third item.....the drive shaft length will be different with the overdrive unit.
With one caveat up front that I have a 223, I did that on mine and two things I had to address were swapping out the main drive gear and the...
Thank you Squirrel, HotRodPrimer, and Stu D Baker..... crawled underneath the truck this afternoon to pull the inspection cover to see if there...
Hmmmm....no, I made sure it was clean and free of oil, but I didn't wash it. Will do that differently next time. Gears, including first, all...
Okay. Thanks for all the suggestions. I will plan to remove the inspection cover to look things over and/or drop the trans to get into it...
Yes, the pilot bushing is new. The clutch pedal linkage is free of binding.
Yep. Your description sounds like my experience. Sorry you're going thru it too.
Installed new clutch. Pretty sure it was installed with correct orientation. Clearly I should remove trans and check clutch and flywheel....
It wasn't a deep resurface from what he told me when he did it. Other than when initially starting off, I don't feel any vibrations even at high...
Hmmmm......i don't know for sure, but can find out. It wasn't that bad to start with and looked okay when finished, but maybe I didn't know what...
I replaced them when installing the 3 spd OD, but will certainly check them to ensure they haven't loosened up. Thanks for the suggestion.
Hello All, Looking for some advice...I'm running a 56 F100 with a 223 and 3 three on the tree. I had the flywheel turned, installed a new clutch...
If you're going to pull the bowl off that carb, you may want to consider taking the (should be small) step of pulling the float, float needle, and...
Hmmm...didn't know they had something like that. I installed their Toyota PS kit last winter after looking through all the options I was aware of...
It was dropped off at UPS today. He should have it tomorrow.
I have inner fenders and tail gate for a 56 F100 to offer. They're original, certainly aren't perfect, but they are functional. Only came off my...
I've been using the 3 on the tree in the same truck for almost 30 years and have never had a problem and I have no interest in swapping it out for...
...and from elsewhere in Fairfax County...
Welcome from Virginia. Mine's only been shiny 2 of the last 27 years I've had it.
I've been running one for a couple years now on my 223. Opted to try to avoid coil mismatches by also installing the Petronix coil. Nothing...
I run a 1904 on 56 223. I too had some challenges working through various issues. Ended up picking up parts carbs off of ebay. I still see the...
That's a fine looking truck. Congratulations to you! From the pictures, I'm thinking that's a newer engine than a 56 223. My 223 dipstick is...
