Thanks. Doped her up good and proper and no more leaks. It’s up and running now. Gas pedal will definitely take getting used to now. 😂

Pull out the black part. Make sure the threads are OK. Add that dope. Crank it tight.

Power and braking.

Good to know, thanks. So should I just crank on them and hope I don’t shear one off and use some thread locker? I don’t mind getting new ones but how will I know if the new ones will be correct or not? Edit: and thanks for all the advice, I know...

No exterior differences It’ll tow 1500lbs. It won’t like it, but it’ll do it. Look into adding a large trans cooler, since they like to run warm. 99.97% (if not all) American 62’s have power windows.

They have aviation sealant all over them. What do you mean by standards on threads? I can try some RTV on them if you think it will help, but I’m not sure if two(ish) turns on the fitting is going to seal 50 something psi. And not to sound...

So here’s my dilemma fellas. Attempted to start the truck and I have a pretty spectacular fuel leak from the feed line fitting. When attaching them, I didn’t like how they felt when threading in, but I gave it the old college try. Comparing my...

Roger that, thanks for the heads up.

That’s perfect, thank you!

Can someone who’s installed a Mosley kit and/or used the Lokar cable and bracket show me how they ran the cable on the firewall/pedal side please?

How long did you folks let your tank “air out” before you drilled a hole? I’m afraid of blowing myself up. It’s been sitting outside with the level Sensor out all day. Good enough? Also, do you just cap the feed and return ports on the factory...

Kind of a stupid question, but is there a provision in a 60 tank for a pump, or does a hole HAVE to be drilled? Edit: I figured it out. Gotta drill.

Here’s some pictures of the distributor, cap, and rotor. The rotor looks a little suspect to me but I don’t know for sure. I don’t know the exact mileage on it, but it’s 100% for sure less than 5,000mi.

Ok after about six more hours of messing around I finally got it! I found the underside of the intake tube split wide open and the TPS was out of adjustment, put a new tube on and adjusted the TPS per the OE manual and I knew it was fixed when I...

I saw that. But I’m one of those weird “purists” for the most part. 😂

Good to know that they’re generally either all or nothing on the igniters, not intermittent.

So after browsing the FSM, the igniter voltage test is kind of vague. I’m under the assumption that the service manual is assuming I’m testing the igniter because I have no spark. So the only check it gives is to use a battery and then check the...

Dieseling is a result of engine run-on without spark. Whether or not I lose spark is kind of the basis of the diagnosis/questions. The trick is I need to get it to happen again somewhere other than a busy intersection. And it’s misfiring as a...

Fuel pump is only 2 years old and OEM. plus I’d think the diaphragm would either be faulty or not, meaning if it were faulty I’d have issues all the time, not randomly once a week or so.

Yes. All smog intact, EGR bypassed.

So I checked the coil. Secondary is 13.5k ohms, spec is 11k-16k. Primary is 0.8ohms, spec is 0.4-0.5. I’m wondering if that’s a pretty normal number for a 40 year old coil, or should I condemn it? I can’t find the specs for the igniter on...

It is. It’s at about 800. A/C idle up at about 1100. But both times it’s happened the A/C has been off.

Plug wires are Yazaki replacements, not done by me. I’d have to look thru the receipts for a date, but IIRC they’re not that old. Definitely not more than 15k on them. Also something worth mentioning, both times this has happened, I’ve never...

Good points. When I say it starts right up, it starts literally right back up with a half a crank of the motor. I’d think if the carb were dry it would crank a bit. I’ve also been thinking maybe it isn’t ignition related. I had one occurrence...

So here’s the issue, and why I think it could be ignition related. The problem I’m having is it’s done it twice now, both times at stop lights in traffic, and I can’t duplicate it idling in the garage for correct diagnosis. Hoping someone will...
