Solved backfiring/timing issue and now have an issue with clutch. Prior to this car I had a 1930 sedan for 16 years and had no issues with clutch and shifting. This one makes it almost impossible to get in gear w/o grinding trans. Once I get it in 1st if I leave the clutch in and try 2nd or 3rd...

I`ve timed it my father`s...

After a hacksaw cut and a little grinding my f-100 was shifting like a champ! Has anyone ever gone with a complete rebuild...

Am installing new runs and anti rattle kit on f 100 and had 2 questions: if I am not redoing wing window rubber can the division bar stay put or do I still have to remove it w/ wing window? 2) should adhesive be used on new glass runs? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

When in doubt switch the switch! Thanks for ebay idea. Bought used one(hard to find) and it made all lights work+eliminated battery drain. Easy solution to a troubling issue given the nature of 40 year old wiring harness.
