Oak, that's good news....and no fires...

Oak, that float has to be level in reference to the carb edge, not cockeyed. It's critical for the carb calibration of the float height and proper needle seating. Again, if I remember I did the same thing with the float, shake it, but it turned out it had a leak, even though I didn't hear...

Mean and Clean!

Hi Oak, I'm going to assume that you have had the air cleaner off for awhile and that there is no presence of "wet" fuel resting on the manifold/engine/anywhere. Not to alarm you, but its a good idea to have the proper and passed inspected fire extinguisher handy. You say there is fuel leakage...

Oak, Real has some good suggestions. When I first rebuilt my Autolite 1100 on my 200 I6 I had a similar problem. The carb flooded. Fuel was spitting up out of the carb, LOL now, but not so funny back then. My problem turned out to be the cheapo paper "ruler" supplied with the kit. Probably...

Hi 66, The pic on the left that "Real" provides is the style I had originally on my 65 w/I6 200 cu in. I agree with Rusty too. I later switched to the style the right hand pic shows. Can't remember why, it was so long ago, maybe it was just harder to get the original style back then. Check...

RNR, I agree with horseballz, no yellow should go to ground, at least I can't figure one to ground. How long has it been there? "RED" does go to the Starter motor relay, (Solenoid). If your looking at it from the driver's side as it is fastened to the fender wall, it's the "right" hand "side"...

I totally agree with 67GTFB and RNRjunkie. They're right on the money. That's what I came up with very late last night. (Sorry, didn't want post with a mistake before checking again. You probably already resolved that problem). The yellow plug you ask? Hmmm, do you have A/C, defogger, etc...

Sounds great Darrel! One wire from your washer pump goes to ground, the other goes to one of the two terminals left on the WW switch, the other one is not used since you have a single speed. I have a 2 speed and I will be going through the same trials and tribulations putting in a complete...

mhjo, I switched my 65 I6 to a V8 302 and went with heavy duty after market motor mounts, before also switching to an electric fan...no problems, just a very small adjustment with the new mountor mounts. What length is the spacer for the fan? A couple of good pics would help too. Why the...

Hi Darrel, sounds like you made a breakthrough! I'm still curious though about how many wires/color code on the wiper motor. I'm going to check that Ford number you have on the single speed switch. The washer motor uses just one wire for power and the other is a ground. My original aluminum...

Hi Darrel, First I have to say "your welcome", glad to assist. 2+2GT has provided you with thee Ford Illustration. Good 2+2GT, very helpful. Darrel you have written a very detailed report. What I have determined is this. 1. You have a 2 speed windshield wiper switch. But do you know if you...

Darrel, glad I was able to help. I know I'm going to get stuck on something and this is a good forum to find answers. I have a two speed switch. I'm eventually going to install the easy to attach/no modification variable wiper switch in that are now available for Mustangs. I think they go for...

Darrel, okay, that's cool with the wiring and the aftermarket motor. Okay, after reading your first, I finally realized you have the 3 speed heater motor. (The dots are only for spacing, so the diagram will appear correct). Heater motor ----black wire------fuse box Heater motor ----orange...

Darrel, It sounds like you might have an early model heater blower switch. Let me ask you a few questions first. Is that original "orange" wire you have, might it be red? And the black wire, might it be black with a yellow stripe? The reason I ask is that Ford had the 2 speed and a three...

Bizkit, What year is your ride again?

Hey Poppy, my 65 has the Decor Interior options, (not factory GT) and I had the original "later" wiring installed by Ford for fog lamps and rally pac. The pig tails/bullet, three bullet connectors that I found taped up around the dash harnessing behind the instrument 5 gauge cluster were there...

The knucklehead in my hometown that worked on my car pinched that tube and used a cheap rubber one. (He is a parts changer not an engineer as I found out). What was happening was that the rear end was overheating and with the tube pinched, started to boil, to hot, and shot fluid all over the...

You talking to me, your talking to me Jetset?..LOL I am overseas until September, if you can wait that long for some pics. But I can tell you, my engine compartment sucked before with the old pulleys and crap radiator shroud and rusted out bolts/fasteners, etc. I went to a lot of car shows...

IB33, first I like to say nice 66 there! Installing March serpentine pulleys and belts really will make your engine compartment stand out. I have a 65 coupe, v8, 302, and added power steering (once again after a I6 to v8 conversion). I chose the March kit part # 30165. It uses two...
