    Thanks for saving that old Econoline, it’s not always an easy revival.

    Had many econlines think I have put fuel pumps in all
    I always cut an “H” in floor
    They never go out when tank is empty

      My friend's dad had one with the 300 paired with a manual transmission. It was an odd van. Full panel on the driver's side and 1/4 panel on passenger side. Only had 2 captain's chairs in the back. Behind that it was a cargo van. Their boat dragged it into the water and that thing still ran like a champ afterward.

      @@fomocopowersgarage7103 clutch is optional 🤣 we would gently shift to the next gear without the clutch. She was an ugly tan van that was weirdly spec'd but fun-ish to drive.

    Can't you get it cleaned out at a radiator shop ? Try getting away from auto parts stores for simple things like a piece of hose. I kmnow you want a hose that is impervious to gasoline , there must be available. Oh know, wait till warmer weather
