Motor unlocked 1979 F150 Ranger


Recommended Posts

Just thought i oughta put this here cause it was engine related and not bad for doing this at 17 yrs old :good:

Well 2-3 years ago the motor locked up at that time, my grandpa pulled the plugs and put motor oil in there. Never messed with it again until I did a few weeks ago, first thing i did was put some transmission fluid in each cylinder with a little diesel fuel. Next I had my grandpa push and pull me in it because it's a manual apparently, my neighbor was hunting 300 yds away, didn't like all the noise so he left his blind. :rofl: that was in the morning at about 7ish

Next i put a new starter on it with a battery that we had laying around and it wouldn't crank over so i hit the solenoid and it cranked but very weak so i put some jumper cables on it for extra juice. still wouldn't, so I left that alone for then took 3-4 hr break, went back out dropped the gas tank because that gas was so bad it was like paint thinner. then put it back on

Next i purchased a set of new plugs and wires, still wouldn't fire, checked for spark nope, replaced the coil, tried again and no fire so i said :censored: this left it alone for that night

then went back out put a new distributor on it hopefully it'd fire and no spark and that alone took like 4 hrs to get out

then i'm like it's that damn box over there pointin to the ignition module so i called my mom, got one picked up from Advance put that baby on there and it cranked over just like a stutter though so left it alone that night and went to get some high octane gas for tomorrow

VERY OLD TIRES AT LEAST +10

I had to go to school from 8-4 when i get back at 4 i go put the gas in the tank, i went up front to unhook gas line to pump some good gas to the carb :yahoo: just sittin there crankin it over till i couldn't smell paint thinnerish smell, put the line on and first crank it stuttered because it was still burnin some other stuff in there, and it's alive :diablo:

nice interior right
