Every morning my1978 F-100 will not move in the drive position, until I press the throttle several times. This take about two minutes. It will move in the reverse position just fine. After it's at normal temperature it's OK. What could be the problem? Replies to this message: ray60 (Dec 14, 2008 9:29 am) Mr_Shiftright (Dec 14, 2008 9:55 am) ray60 (Dec 14, 2008 11:28 am)

Replying to: ray60 (Dec 14, 2008 9:29 am) Ray's on the right track I think. It may be a sticking valve in the valve body. Worst case scenario? You might have to drop the valve body and clean it. This would require extreme cleanliness and air pressure. Replies to this message: ray60 (Dec 14, 2008 11:28 am)

Replying to: jedidiah1 (Feb 21, 2009 2:39 am) Why don't you drop this guy a line on eBay and see if he has anything for you? He seems to specialize in this sort of thing.   Ford Wiring Diagrams   Another idea-- try the public library and see if they have an older Motor's Manual or Chilton manual for your truck.

My 1970 F100 360 2bbl stalls when put into drive and at stop signs, then is hard to start. Ideas? Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Aug 15, 2009 2:14 pm)

Replying to: tsimp (Aug 15, 2009 7:38 am) First thing we always recommend for the "old car blues" when stalling and hard re-starts, is a complete and thorough tune-up before we attack the carburetor.
