1984 Ford F-150 302 Exhaust Problems by joker1986

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?

'7 F-150 key lock cylinder by sisqmtnman
Feb 11, 2009 (5:49 pm)
Reply
I'm trying to replace the key lock cylinder on my 79 F-150. The only problem is; the key won't turn to the accessories position so I can release the pin. I've tried WD40 (stupid idea) and a graphite dry lube to get the key to turn but it's still doesn't work, no matter how much I jiggle the key.
 
Is there any other option available to me short of drilling out the cylinder or replacing the entire ignition?

78 F250 oil consumption by taz12

I have a 1978 F-250 with a rebuilt 400M. The engine has under 2k miles and is stock except for a Eldlebrock intake and carb. My issue is it is using oil at a rate of a quart a week.
There are no leaks anywhere on the engine, nor are the plugs showing any sign's of burning.
 
I run (1) PCV valve on left (passenger side) valve cover, and breather on right side. Any idea's on how to resolve this issue.
 
Side note, this is a nonemissions engine (no EGR valve ect.) and Im drawing vacume directly from the carb to the PVC valve.
 
Thanks!!
