i did this to my 86 thunderbird and it has so much more power thank you for the helpfull vid
that is a beautiful kitty , nothing like a great companion !!
The tach and transmission cable are the reasons why I haven't gone this route yet and I'd like to keep the cruise control
That 302 sounds good 👌 by the way
What did you do to the fuel lines on the frame rail under the cab of the truck. I have removed my high pressure fuel pump. I have also removed my fuel reservoir. I have the lines clear from under the truck all the way to the fuel tank selector valve. But I am having a trouble on connecting the new fuel line. Do I connect to the tank selector valve and plug the return line port and call it good on that then just connect the line to the mechanical fuel pump. What I want to do is utilize my reservoir and connect the line to that. Then just connect a small length fuel line from the tank selector valve to the reservoir, then reservoir to mechanical fuel pump. Any info would be most appreciated.
Thanks.
Do you have the exact name of the edelbroc rail fuel pump you used? Just curious so I don’t have to install that darn regulator nightmare
thats a very nice / pretty cat !!!
I like it! NICE!
Gotta start doing maintenance on mine. Freeze plug took a shit
I'm doing efi to carb swap on my 86 bronco. I put a 408 stroker motor in it. What vacuum lines did you retain and where do they go? I know I need to keep the brake vacuum, but what else besides that did you have to retain for everything to work correctly?
I’d like to know too.
And. The. Cat. Was. Your. Helper??? Thanks 4. The tips
More like a supervisor haha
I have a 92 Ford Bronco with the 351 Windsor I'm thinking about putting a sniper kit in it due to I had issues with my fuel injected system add too much fuel in a cylinder and bent a connecting rod I'm rebuilding the engine now sniper kit will I have problems with the transmission shifting
Hey great video! I just bought an 86 carb swapped 302 that the coolant system needs to be put together in. So thats the 4 bolt main transmission without the overdrive in yours? I ask because ive got the aod transmission and need to check to make sure the tv linkage extenstension was added but its tough finding info on that. If you know even a bit about that id be eternally grateful.
This Comes in handy HAHAH
Just getting ready to throw my new engine in
You are welcome!
How did you put a carb is your fuel mileage any better?
Need some help with hei distributor and ignition please, need the more help on how to connect the wires
Me too!
Dude...u need a spacer under ur carb...ur gettin to much heat and vapor lockin...thats why it dont hot start
I ended up putting a 4 barrel carb and intake on. It has a 1” spacer on it now and it’s fine.
Looking good!!! Have you looked into a brick nose transfer case to get the drive set up for your mechanical speedo?
I have one but I need a slip yoke transfer case from a truck
@@bullford8218 So possibly another junkyard video? lol
Definitely
Dude I need info, what 3 wires during the 10th min of the video control? I'm doing this exact swap
I have a 85 with a 302 this “mechanic” rebuilt and I don’t even know where to start…
Did you have any trans issues? Sincerely, Richard Goodman
Hooking up the throttle valve cable was tricky. But I have since swapped in a 5 speed manual transmission.
do this swap right now - so does the Edelbrock pump essentially act as a restrictor/regulator to lower the pressure from the in-tank pump? thanks!
The in tank pumps were low pressure, ford put a secondary pump on the frame to bring the pressure up.
Good job on carb- Little cam & exhaust upgrade will make it come alive - I fooled w/ my small block initially too much intake Then went w/ dual plane 600 holly Comp cam headers 2.5" Came alive - I wouldn't sell old Ford I ket mind get away & severely regret- The re good ole truck simple technology Always get you home - It's getting hard to find one now ah days in that kind shape -
I was wondering about your feul pump set up. Did you just keep the original fuel pump in the tank and use the 7 psi fuel pump as some sort of a fuel pressure regulator?
I kept the in-tank pumps. They run low pressure. I ended up running an edelbrock electric pump in place of the old factory frame mount pump. The in-tank pumps are just a lift pump that feed the frame mount pump. Works good and I don’t necessarily red a regulator.
@Bullford82 neat! I should have probably knew that but I'm doing research for my girlfriend to get the correct parts and the truck is a half hour drive away so I can't look at it too often. I work on chevys primarily so I'm getting use to the ford stuff still lol thanks for the reply man this should help out a ton with the carb swap
Can you tell me where the voltage tack wire is? It’s the only gauge that doesn’t work in mine.
On my truck, it’s a green with white dashed wire.
Don't these trucks have vacuum controlled HVAC systems?
Yes
iam having a problem .. got 302 efi swapping over to card and hei distibutor has a 1/4 in gap want go all the way down ? did you have that problem
Sort of, I had to wiggle it a little and it went all the way.
If motor is out might as well do heads
What wires did you use to hook up the distributor?
Doing the same swap :)
I used the key on wire from the alternator to trigger a relay which feeds the distributor.
That cat
What’s your opinion on a smog pump delete on a 86 f150 EFI 302
Does it alot of good, you'll need a smaller belt too
I’ve got rid of the smog pump and got rid of the EGR on my 90 302 with long tube headers true dual exhaust running cherry bombs too and that thing is ALIVE
So how could one make this work with dual tanks?
It works with both tanks. Your only changing stuff after the selector valve.
@@bullford8218 we need to chat on this more. I’m trying to figure out how to make this work using existing hardware from my 1993 EFI pumps, switches, and valving.
Hi, what size carb did you got?
Started with a 650 but I run a 450
Carb conversion
sorry,i cant watch anymore...damn cat
W t f ??
annoying cat
