Did you have any spark originally

Looked better with the rock chips

Any updates?

Looking good

This is partially why I said screw this. Carb intake hei dist done

I'm battling this problem on a 1996 4.9 now. Did the harbor freight sparkplug tester show spark? I've replaced everything except the distributor, ECM, coil, and fuel pressure regulator. I even replaced the fuel tank switch. Both pumps are new including fuel filter. The truck was running fine then just shut off. I had to tow it home. I haven't changed the distributor since it shows that I have spark from all the plugs and from the coil to the distributor. The only other thing it might be is the actual ignition key cylinder since it sorta loose. Any advise would be cool appreciated

It's smokin!!!!

i had a fleet of these trucks and when they had a no start condition i would check spark spark first and if i see no spark i pull off the dist cap and it is always the shaft gear roll pin sheared right off, yep these 4.9L 300cid inline 6 cyl, are world famous for that, shearing off the roll pin that holds the gear on the shaft the turns the rotor and i have done many... sometimes it will shear it a bit and move the timing a bit and look for that too...

good perseverance. you fixed a few things along the way too.

Please do a after video I’m very curious

That's one of the best engines Ford ever made 4.9 L 6 cylinder engine, no timing chain, gear to gear, will last a long time if you keep the oil changed. Even the auto transmissions were good E40D last a long time if fluid is changed regularly. I have one, my buddy has one with 560,000 miles and running strong.

I weld my pits like that. As long as I don't have to many that is. Just keep it cool.

Thanks sir..

Sounds like it was your dumb asphalt for not reading the description. Just kidding

Ever get the bouncing speedometer needle and transmission kick/jerk issue at the same time?

Looking good . Looks like surface rust inside and treatable

Necessity is the mother of invention and ingenuity!

My 96 F150 5.8L has a similar issue. Been going on for months. Wouldn't start. I'd jiggle the coil wire. It would start. Or I had to pop open the Distributor cap and clean contacts... finally, it just wouldn't start. Put a new Cap/ rotor in. Started. Until it didn't. Put in a new coil; started until it didn't. Put in a new Ignition control module. Started right up, for a few days anyway. Now, it won't start. Haven't changed the Distributor yet, or temp sensor. Crazy! I ordered this baby from the factory, in 1995, but it's got me puzzled now...

Why not plug a reader into the OBDII port under the center of the dash, couldn't hurt! could be something as simple as my dad's 96 4.9L I6 F-150 XL, Crankshaft Position Sensor malfunction. TBF, the 1st year of the OBDII port, its SUPER Slow, took it 3 minutes to connect to my Bluetooth reader.

Be sure to reinstall crank case breather hose on valve cover behind oil filler ,without it dirt and grit will be sucked in and ruin engine! Connects to air intake hose

I'm going through the same list. I'm up to the control module. Next thought was the pickup coil. I do not want to pull that distributor...

Did you ever do a follow up on the bead roller? I am learning to pre stretch now..

Just got the same little English wheel

Make it happen, bring it back to life!!!!

86 Bronco 5.0 EFI . Fuel, crank but no start. I changed pick up coil, coil,msd distributor cap and module. Everything primes but the on way i got it to run and is sometimes, when I pin ground the top or second tfi module wire on connector.

Keep at it , little by little!!!

End up installing it? Howd it go?

Speaking wisdom man!

*PromoSM*

Lots of potential there she's a keeper

Satin black looks more professional on frames

Thanks man I'm in electric lala land now

Great vids! I picked up a 57 and am doing videos on it now aswell. I have to to alot of these patches you are so these videos will be a great help!

But how about the places where you cant get that back stoper out when you weld that panel in place? What you use for those places?

I have a 57 chevy 150 4 dr sedan . I had to do both sides ,i feel your pain

I have this set, used it for autobody for Ford only problem i had was the heads coming off, bought hickory handles and shaved them down and staked them never had a broblem after that never had any problems with the dollies

More then my garage I'm getting them out of my house. Then, in my shop, I will build a metal box for them. Inside, not outside. Thanks for making this video. I bet you save a lot of people from losing a lot o stuff. A metal charging box would be a good product for some company to produce/sell. I know they make them for storing flammable stuff like solvents. I think I'll check around and see what I find before I build one. hah... found multiple fire proof cabinets for sale along with some metal cabinets not fire rated but would work, in less then 3 minutes on FB marketplace, one nice one for 10 bucks.

How did it end up working for you? Curious about the results if it’s worth even installing lol I bought some too.

Es de bateria o solar

Fought this same battle for 3 years before a mechanic friend told me about this distributor pickup coil. Replaced the entire distributor and that fixed the problem.

I have a 86 Ford E150 if anyone can tell me why this va will not run, you i thought were gon g to say something I didn't know about!! But you didn't ,lol so, i replaced everything, my sitributor gear is fine, however I believe i need to have my ECM flashed , im going to call a guy up in the morning and see what he can tell me , hopefully he can flash this for me,, if not, well,, it looks like I'll be making a conversion back to carberator and regular intake, i prefer that anyway!!

My 91 has power but will not crank. Did your motor crank?

Hi - having the same issues on my red 1995 F150 XLT 5.8. Can I ask where you got your replacement distributor from? What size engine do you have? Read there’s a color mark on the original distributor that tells if it’s steel - apparently you have to check the color to make sure correct metal is used or can ruin cam

Then replaced everything past front bumper

Back in the day I used to have an old core unit a distributor with the PIP sensor and module in place. If one of those babies had crank no start no spark, you'd simply attach the ground wire to the test distributor spin the gear and watch it Spark. Anybody who has ever tried to decipher an old Ford H manual for proper testing knows what I'm talking about here. The factory Diagnostics were such a joke, new training businesses popped up on how to diagnose a Ford, seriously.

What problems did your truck have or what symptoms did it have??

same nightmare with me right now. Replaced almost everything but the ecm (assuming its in descent condition because I hear the pumps prime for a few seconds and all the solenoids in the engine bay click and tested fine). I got it to run for a few seconds with some starting fluid but I feel like my problem is something shorted out then a mechanical issue. Im gonna run a pressure test and see what I pull but if I get nowhere with that im raising the white flag and having my mechanic do the diag for me. Fuel system is practically brand new other than the injectors but if thats the problem its gonna be a long day of work to replace those on these 300s.

My 1993 F150 5.0 would fail to start when fully warmed up. After doing a bit of research I just shotgunned the ignition system, replacing the coil, pickup, and ignition module. The coils are prone to leak (mine was), the pickup was 30 years old, and Ford Motorcraft states that the ignition module is tested for a life expectancy of 150k miles or 10 years. Solved all start issues, including a faster cold start than before. A few weeks later while out of town on a road trip, the engine would suddenly jerk as if trying to shut down. Replaced the ECM when I got home. The capacitors are notorious for puking all over the board and reeking havoc. Always use a quality replacement or you will simply build the problem right back in (buy the best and cry once!!). Running this problem down might have been easier for me due to the fact that I was is the auto repair game for 52 years before retiring. With the changes that have occurred in the industry, I really don't miss it at all. These OBS ford trucks are a lot more reliable than any of the new stuff that is produced. They are just getting old, kind of like me😬

cool project keep up the good work

Don’t feel bad, my 96 f 150, it would run and do good might run 10 blocks or 30 miles and die, after everything replaced found someone changed out crank pulley and forgot the reader plate with 3 nubs missing on back of crank pulley, not sure how it ran at all without it.
