#49 of 71 Re: F100 Negative Coil Wire [kjmac1] by mike9408 Jun 20, 2008 (8:27 am)
Replying to: kjmac1 (Oct 31, 2006 7:43 am) I realise this is an old posting but to clear it up for anyone else out there...The Positive side of the coil comes from the ignition switch (when you turn the switch on it sends power to the coil). The negative side of the coil (while it may appear to go inside the cab) eventually ends up connecting to the Distributer. If you run this wire to a common ground you will either burn up the wiring or burn a fuseable link somewhere in the system. Good luck. Mike9408
#50 of 71 Ford 302 Miss by crabmanlan Jun 27, 2008 (8:51 am)
My 86 Ford F250 302 TBI has developed a hard "miss" upon accelleration. It runs well at idle, at any speed reached by slow accelleration but upon hard accelleration as in passing or on a steep hill it missess hard like no fuel or no spark. It will continue to do so until you let off. There is occasionally a Pop.   Any thoughts?   Lanny

Replying to: trobertc (Jun 03, 2008 10:56 am) I'm guessing you have fixed this problem by now but if not...When I had my 87 ford and I would try to floor it the same thing happened. What I found was that I was sucking in air from my exhaust manifold because of two cracks around where the carb connected in.
#52 of 71 1977 ford simple problems by csnover Aug 03, 2008 (8:09 pm)
I just bought a 1977 Ford 150 and the last owner put an after market steering wheel on and after I bought it I realized that the blinker swtich on the steering column just hangs loose. I was wondering what it connects to inside there to keep the tension on it so you can switch the blinkers on and off. I haven't had time to take it apart yet

Replying to: trobertc (Jun 03, 2008 10:45 am) You may have trash in your tank. I had about the same problem several years ago after we had the gas shortage (9-11). I would be going down the road and seem to run out of fuel but with plenty left. I ended up pulling the tank and cleaned out a lot of junk . I changed the strainer and filters. I think I got it when I filled up while the were receiving a truck load into a almost empty tank which sturred up the bottom and I got a lot in my tank.

#55 of 71 1984 Ford F-150 302 Exhaust Problems by joker1986 Aug 28, 2008 (3:05 pm)
I have above mentioned truck and have recently acquired an exhaust leak. The auto parts store says my truck doesn't have donut gasket... but i have this well for lack of a better word "valve" coming out of my exhaus manifolds close to the bottom if i turn it one way exhaust gets louder the other way it gets quieter what is this valve and could it be causing my leak?
