Hey man I got a 1979 for f150 I'm about to start on fixing up maybe make a few videos I liked this alot man I'm liking ansld subscribing I wanna see where ya get keep these badass ford's running man!!
I'v got a 77 f250. Given to me. I think it has the 400. Runs like total crap.. the carburator choke is worn out or broken. Stalls and shudders after warmed up. Seldom used because of this. Do you think a efi kit would be worth it? Truck is totally original. 80k miles. Auto trans... And would that make it more difficult?
If it's just carb issues then yes it'll make a world of a difference but it won't help if it's out of time or has engine component problem. I don't think the auto would make it harder but I've never seen one of these trucks with one, only manuals
I did but it wasn't anything to write home about. I got around 9 to 10 mpg before and I get like 11 now. That's also extremely rough numbers because my odometer is not correct nor is the fuel gaige so as accurate as I can get it to be
Plastic fuel filter next to the headers is a fire waiting to happen.
Its not there permanently

Thanks man I appreciate it. This truck has always been my favorite and it's constantly evolving. Much more to come with it
Did anybody notice the spark arc on the distributor? Maybe look into that if that’s causing some of your rough idle
I've been waiting for someone to notice I've got to look into it but idles mint now with the holley
Yea I noticed it
Run two worms, as you all them in opposite directions. They tighten better.

What kind of electric fuel pump ? .....how come you didn't use the manual fuel pump??
It's a pump holley includes. I think the sniper needs higher pressure fuel but I'm not 100% sure on that
Did you get much of an increase in gas mileage? I’m about to put a sniper on my 74 f100 with a 390
