Sometimes the adapter plate is dished in too much where the threaded adapter goes through. When you have it off you may need to reshape the adapter plate so it holds tight enough against the block. Just an idea.

If it were me, I would make sure the rocker arm assemblies are ok, check the valve clearances, and check compression. Hope this helps.

Like mentioned before both have their advantages and disadvantages. I have used both symetrical and a symetrical, and drive on lifts. I like the a symetrical seems a little more versitle. My experience has only been with Mohawk had them for over 25 years. You get what you pay for. Just my 2...

Hope it all works out for you. Maybe it fixed itself ha ha

Kultulz, the guage is just to check that the pressure is correct with the engine running, not too low or too high so you know its the correct spec for the carb, and the pump spec is correct. When you shut the engine off the pressure usually drops.

Im with flathead fever. Use a pump with the correct pressure and maybe put a guage in line to check the pressure.

How much fuel pressure are you going to run?

Before you go through fixing it yourself. I saw a service bulletin that may cover it under warranty. It looks like a updated part. TSB 15-0061. If not I may be able to get you a part number with some details of the truck, production date, back up camera etc. Hope this helps.

Kultulz When I sent him the pictures of the headers, Victor told me that's what they were for. I think it has to do with the length of the pipe coming out of the common rail, that makes it 54 only. He said that Ford made them remove the Ford script in 1998.

If you decide to go with common rail headers. I have a set of Red,s headers. Was told by Victor at Red,s headers that they fit 54 car only. They were made pre 1998 because it has the for script on them. Let me know if interested. Thanks Joe

You can try this company. Southeastern power products Pompano beach florida 954 979 5899. They sell facet electric pumps. Hope this is a help.

Make sure your idle speed is not too slow. Try disconnecting the output wire with the engine at idle and see what voltage you have at the generator.

Re: Neighbor’s 54 F100 burnt / Salvage Sale ?s I can not imagine how he feels. Sure hope everything works out ok.
