https://www.hemmings.com/auction/1955-ford-f100-852698 Selling my 55, figured I’d give everyone a heads up if you’re looking for one. Hate to sell; moving on to some new hobbies for a few years.

Only running on four cylinders. Guess I better start looking at the timing and distributor. Open to troubleshooting ideas.

I’ll check it out - it’s new, replaced last year.

Yep left everything in place, just pulled radiator and disconnected wires.

I’ll check the carb. It’s really weird since she was running fine, just a slipping clutch plate. Pulled the engine, replaced the entire clutch assembly, reinstalled and now she’s running like this. The only change made, put in pilot bearing, was missing. Now plugs are fouled and vacuum...

Thanks Mart - I get it now. Appreciate the insight

Exactly - thanks Tubman, can you advise on the proper way to wire a push button remote starter.

Trying to wire a remote switch on my 36 with a floor starter button. Sounds like I need to alligator clip the negative wire to the battery side of solenoid and attach the other clip to the positive ground (frame). Is this right?

Ordered some new plugs, recently rebuilt carb. I’ll check it out as well. Have you ever hooked up a remote starter switch, I tried today and couldn’t get it to work. Seems simple enough, hooked a lead to each side of push button solenoid and nothing.

Looking for a sage to provide some schooling Engine ran fine, pulled due to slipping clutch, replaced clutch and reinstalled engine. Engine runs like crap, clutch works great. Idles fine but have no power. Pretty sure we’re not firing on all cylinders. Will check by pulling plug wires...

Did you get this fixed, if so what was the problem.

Installed longer fuel rod and pump working as it should. I now have a problem with the idle set to high and adjusting the set screws on the carb do nothing to slow it?

Thanks V8coop - definitely factory cast iron
