My 65 240 has a 13 inch dip stick and the tube is only 3 inches long. It is also located between the distributer and the fuel pump filter. there we not any part numbers on the dip stick

Just an FYI the core support is different for a 6 cyl vs an 8 cyl. Dennis carpenter's was an 8 cyl support and i was installing a rebuilt 240 engine. There wasn't any room for the fan on the water pump. Thank goodness from talking to someone who knew something (my dad), i had the radiator shop rever...

luckily only minor scratch on drip rail above windshield. I was test driving to get ready to go to Ford nationals next week for its first real car show. It reminds me of a small show i went to in Pigeon Forge where a yellow F1 had a huge dent on his hood where he hit a turkey on the way to the show....

OK HERE IT IS. I always check to make sure it is close. I guess i'm finally going to order the spring for the safety latch.

I've unbolted already to take to body shop and see what the damage is

Screwed up my hood today when it popped open doing 45 mph. I've been searching on the internet and haven't found any replacements yet. If anyone know of something i'd appreciate the help

If possible can you post a picture from under the steps on the flareside. I'm interested in seeeing the support that attaches to the frame from the step. Mine did not survive the body shop

Just finished rebuilding my 65 F100 with 240 cid and 4 speed on floor T-18. i have 3.00 rear end and it will run on the interstate at 70 mph and 2500 RPM. The granny gear first gear helps but i can easily start off in 2 on flat ground. Did beef up the 240 with clifford 6=8 and new cyl sleeves.

looks like a long way to Coffieville. Springville is 30 miles NE of Birmingham on I59 Here are pictures of the engine bay with the Clifford 6=8 package. I went with the straight forward coolant piping setup and it has worked well so far. I like the clifford package, and had the block worked accordin...

I believe this is an outie rim, little over 10 inches to fit over the tabs.

Quick question what modern oil type and weight should i run in a rebuilt 240 cid 6cyl in my 65 f100. I've heard i should run oil with extra zinc in it but wanted to hear what you guys thought. The 240 has a clifford 6=8 package in it and we did boost the compression as recommended by clifford. Ive g...

One thing i learned from my core support change out on a 65 with 240cid 6cyl. The replacement core supports are made for V8 as the mounting point for the radiator is a few inches closer to the firewall than the factory setup for the 6cyl. The factor 6cyl radiator mounted flush to the core support du...

http://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/k520/stswartz/ScannedImage132060000_zps55929ce1.jpg forgot i had scanned this. My final solution was a 12 volt feed to the alternator light which supplied power to the regulator and everything ran like a top. Note the bypass note to bypass the regulator to determ...

I have just been through this with my truck. You need power to the voltage regulator before it will work. It is normally supplied by the 12 volt source to the alt light which will be on with the key in the on position before you start the engine. My alternator wiring diagram said that i could apply ...

Thanks for all the information. Mine will be a driver and play toy don't expect to haul much of anything
