So part of what made this such a pain was the fact that the 3rd bolt close to the block was not actually installed properly by the previous owner....
Not sure that I have found anything more more of a pain than trying to remove a starter motor from a 352 FE with the exhaust still on and the...
I have had both an Impala and an F100. For me it is much more the "that's cool" factor. Sent from my LM-V405 using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
She's all legal like and in the good graces of the State of Nebraska. Got the driver's side exhaust replaced and def have a performance boost. I...
So FINALLY I was able to sort out the blockage. The heat riser IS working but the donut was actually melted and blocking it mostly closed. There...

My first bought and paid was a 1973 Impala. Land yachting at it's finest. I'm not to the give up point yet! My wife has said to give it at least a...
That you did. Next next step is buying a temp gun. Lol Sent from my LM-V405 using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Welp, was able to look at the valve. It appears to be opening correctly. Tried manually opening and closing and holding it in either position with...
Lots of good info. I was able to look and can confirm that there IS a heat riser. The valve DOES open but I'm not sure if it does so properly...
I wish I did. Can't really tell where or what. Hoping Bones hit the nail, but will certainly take all ideas :-) It'd be a lot nicer if it were...
I believe so. Haven't ever messed with one before so wasn't even looking for it. Sadly my shop light is going down for the night but I will double...
Also, I am going over things prior to driving it, so I don't have a lot of road time on it, need new rubber before can go anywhere without fear of...
So I have discovered a new little wrinkle in my 66 F100. A partially clogged exhaust. Passenger pipe flows just fine, driver's side tho is there,...
Good call. Science and fact are really the only things that matter here. Personal views aside, I think you are doing this the right way. Stay safe...
Thanks! I was glad when I saw this was a 2100. Have a hard copy of the parts diagram and have been studying. Next going after the manual for more...
Gee, thanks for that. BTW, I just magically tested vacuum accurately without a vacuum gauge.....oh wait.....Sorry I was giving those who provided...
New radiator in. Vac advance still in good shape and holding pressure. Now that rad is on, gonna start with the mix screws and idle screw. More to...
Got the diverter plate off. Confirmed fuel is being injected a ok. Gonna have to hold off a bit tho for more tuning as I am tossing in a new...
Funny revisiting this. So the story pretty much ended there. The guy selling claimed to have approval from his elderly father. He didn't. As soon...
How dare you try to understand a poorly stated question before offering advice that was solicited. That'll teach ya. Sent from my LM-V405 using...
Sunbeam hit the nail on the head. I didn't know official name (and didn't think to look at rebuild schematics). Air Distribution plate. I'm going...
Accelerator is definitely putting in fuel when it should, not sure if it is enough tho. Need to take the plate off that mounts on top of the...
Brilliant, thanks! Homework for tonight. And she felt better after she delivered. Should have seen her when she was carrying.....
There you go, glad I asked. Silly question in hindsight but appreciate the clarification
Forgive the ignorant response, but if I am getting fuel into the carb, that should indicate the pump is ok (at least functional), correct?
Hey all, looking for some advice. Proud papa of a new to me 66 F100. 352 motor with a 2100 2bbl. Relative newbie to engine tuning so don't want to...
