    Inline 6 devac

    So, my plan is to make it look like its therefor the next time we have to look under the hood. In three years. Maybe, maybe knot.. But these kids have no idea. Sorry for the rant above. The hole in the heads to plug is ¾-18. I have ¾ -16 bolts coming to plug.

    Inline 6 devac

    Latest on this project- removing all the damn vacuum lines on a 250-6 with integrally stupid head. I'm also working on finding a valve tap, but thats the gravy to drive me into this mess. So. I have a new valve cover bargain coming from LMC, but it only fits my early non stupid head. So, I have...

    Crank pulley thread size for 3 holes.

    I tapped the three holes to ⅜-16 I'm able to turn crank easily now with 3 temp bolts inserted. Excuse the bother, but between my back and my knees I just have trouble getting down there. I have work to be done before the surgery.

    Brake bleeder system

    I've been doing brake systems for years. Minor bleed or full system, I use a mytyvac hand held suction pump. recently I upgraded to the pro model in some kinda metal after wearing out a few of the plastic ones. The one thing you need to know is that bubbles from leaking threads appear all the...

    Crank pulley thread size for 3 holes.

    I want to rotate my engine by hand, and wish to put bolts in two of the three crank pulley holes, and then use a screwdriver to rotate the engine. What is the bolt and thread size of those three bolts. My case is an 81 250-6 but I think all of the non bolted pulleys are the same. My crank pulley...

    Stripped off the vacuum hoses and exhaust ************ pipes. Gonna try a standard valve adjustment. Engine is solid. All plugs are great, Starting to look better. Almost all of the pipes will go away for now. except distributor vacuum advance. Looking better already.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    New power steering hoses. Had to have high pressure hose custom made because parts houses didn't have a clue for the 6 cylinder

    Amazing how this engine ran perfectly, getting 15-18 MPG, Nice idle, accelerated properly.. with all these vacuum leaks!! The last of the stove bolt engines.. First installed in 1927

    Inline 6 devac

    OK, I have now started the process of tear down. I knew I had to replace some vacuum hoses but also found my carburetor bolts were loose. Found one of the four air valves was loose where it went into the head. I'm going to remove alot of this stuff (*&^(), rebuild the carb, Check all valves and...

    The MOA is the only additive I use. It was recommended by my (Ford) engine builder.

    Inline 6 devac

    If you were asking me, I use Penn grade high zinc oil 10W40 with MOA additive. The tap is very clearly a mechanical bang.. Once each rotation. Something is clearly amiss. I have slow mo video that very clearly lets you hear the tap as a mechanical issue. I'm hoping for a bad pushrod or lifter issue.

    I am working on the same engine/project. Soon. Trying to get a few dump loads in before taking it apart. I was looking at a new head (from a 70 Nova, which I now have) and separate intake and exhaust, but this required a catalyst replacement with the new exhaust, or perhaps EFI to feed the cat...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Put a new fuel pump in, as I had a carburetor leak down issue (I thought it might be valves in pump leaking, but also suspect carb boiling its gas) Also my trailer wiring was meat-headed somewhere along the line, so I ripped out twisted wires and tape and fixed factory harness with crimp&heat...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    don't do it. With the 6 cylinder engine, small tires really help acceleration and with mine, the 3.08 gears work as intended. The bigger tires it had on it were very heavy and the truck slowed significantly .

    What new tools have you got lately?

    A flywheel holder. Not sure how much I want to use it.. And the factory manual. Everyone should have these. I buy em all on ebay for about $30.

    Fix what is broke. It looks really nice as is. Adding foreign parts is never the way forward if you don't need to.

    Wiper washer upgrade and repairs

    So, I fixed my wipers and washers, twice! I now have two speeds (the switch was sticky and did not allow the second speed). Fixed that. And the washers would not stop running till the wipers were turned off. I tightened the spring on the washer rotating drum, seen right below the round plastic...
