I'm sure if you ran the pump with no fuel movement for ten minutes you boiled what fuel was in the pump out . If this is a carter style pump it has a pressure relief valve which can be removed and cleaned

If it is a one wire alternator that function normally doesn't work .

someone correct me if I am wrong . the conductor going to the lamp should be connected to the field terminal on a ford product not the armature terminal.

The switch has a circuit breaker in it . at 6v it would be set at appox double of a 12v . If it is not a direct swap I would just put a breaker of the correct value in the headlight circuit

The vent window needs adjusted . Loosen the bottom of the vent window guide and slide it to the rear , do the same for rear window guide .

put the peanut butter on a peace of cotton from a Q tip and bait the trap with that. Had them getting in a kitchen cabinet once , they were so small the trap caught them by tail and back legs .

If you plug the vent have fun trying to fuel up . Put the vent back , it cant be that difficult !You repaired the panel you can't drill a couple holes!

It sounds like you don,t have any carb heat . i could be wrong , but as I remember ford used a snorkel from the exhaust manofold to the carb via the air filter housing and this was thermostatically controlled. When that air door didn't work correctly you would have cold engine drivability...

Is the ride height correct , if high or low the drag ling will be pushing and pulling up or down hill rather than in a straight line .

No one has mentioned this , are the brake shoes installed correctly ? The brakes on fords from 1949 on [correct me if I'm wrong ]are self energizing ,short shoe front .

Yes .Hollander #22 Lower ford & merc 52 - 54 sw #31 Upper Ford & merc 52 - 54 sw

The ring lands may have been resized and they are shims , so be careful if installing new rings to pay attention to land clearances .

I don't think F100 . I would think maybe 600 or 750 with vacuum assist hydraulic brakes gas engine with the 4000 rpm tach . I,m thinking about 1965 .

Why would you be looking for the fuse if it didn't have backup lights ? Devil made me do it !

Don't forget to check the belt tension .
