This old truck ain't run in 5 years. No gas gets to the fuel pump. And the tank leaks too.

Rust probably blocking the pickup in the tank.

I hooked the lawnmower tank up to the fuel pump on the engine and it started right up.

if not rust blocking the flow, could be a good possibility that the fuel lines are rotted out, sucking in air instead.

Meh

It's getting a new gas tank and whatever junk accessory crap goes on it. Gauge sender, the works. Cuz fuck it...


Every vehicle on the property runs now.

OK so the F-100 only has a 15 mile range at the moment but it runs.


I just flushed it's coolant. Block, radiator and heater core separately, then blew out the rinse water with air.

Ga go Walmart and get aunty freeze.

It;s a Ford, It probably has not ran since it came off the assembly line

WTF is this thing? (flashing red)



It looks like a metal fuel filter rusted in half threaded into the intake manifold but exhaust was coming out.



There's a lot of screwy unnecessary stuff on that carb that can only be tree fornication stuff.

Whatever it is, I took it out and plugged it with this:

 

[mndriver]

EGR valve

 

[krelithous]

ECM maybe

 

[ironpony]

It keeps the farts in. Yer gonna blow up.

 

[Duck]

EGR valve

That's what I figured. But I didn't know they had EGR in 1976.

So by removing and plugging it, I'm doing something that would make commie tree huggers angry.

Perfect

 

[Duck]

Same picture, what's that crap sticking out horizontally with the diaphragm on the end?

There's a pipe coming off the exhaust manifold going to it. And that vacuum line. Certainly associated with the EGR valve and that thing that rusted in half was probably just something the hose to the air box connected to?



My 1979 Dodge with 225 slant six didn't have anything like that and neither did my dad's 1979 Chevy with 250 "stump puller" straight 6.

Every pic I've found of a 300-6 from that era doesn't have it either.

Ain't no reason to maintain the tree hugging crap anyway. They don't test in this county and even if they did, it's old enough it's exempt.

This truck even has the remains of a charcoal filter. Chewed up by mice just like the one on my Ranger.

 

[krelithous]

thought you had the book on it

 

[Duck]

thought you had the book on it

I've got like 3 books for my tractor.

Nothing for the trucks.

Weren't payin' attention when they were handin' out general guy knowledge, huh?

1976 ford 300 i6 egr delete - Google Search

 

[Hammer166]

A lot of motors from that era had air injection, too. Hard to tell with your pic, and I never messed with the Ford 6's enough to have a clue.

 

[Duck]

What are the f*ing odds this plate I made for something else would be drilled perfectly to fit over the end of the EGR spacer to cap it off? Same hole size too. It even fits the other way too.

 

[Duck]

Nice smooth gasket surface. (The best I can do without a milling machine.)



Homemade gasket, some sealant,.... And here ya' go. EGR deeeeeeeleted.



Screw @Rawze and his milk. I'm gonna call it the Beer Money Delete.

This thing has hugged it's last tree.

Okay. But I hope that hunk of metal lives on!

Viva la hunk of metal.

I took the horn off the 92 Camry my mom thought was a submarine, and added it to Blueford.



The two horns sound weird together.
