Good morning Nick and Rodney, What I am going to tell you today will be contradicting what you feel is the correct way :o . First thing Saturday morning was to take the Ranchero out on a run to get the motor at operating temperature. Dieseling was still present when engine was shut down. 1) First in...

1) After market steering wheel (new) to fit 72 XY Ranchero/F250 = R850

2) Set of 4 chrome wheel trim rings to fit 13" rims (brand new) = R1200

Postage extra

Cheers

Morning Nick and Rodney, I must say I like you Guys and love your humour! :) You seem to know each other well and I wish I could meet you both one day 8) I will try a few suggestions over the weekend and revert back by Monday. Enjoy the weekend and please shout for the Lions.......we need your suppo...

New valves and guids. New pushrods. 4) New Edelbrock intake with new ...

Meaning (2½ turns) and (1½ turns)

Morning Nick, I know exactly what you mean by the first part of your post. I am still upset with a member your side of the world. Your advise changing the vac pipe on the carb did give a smoother idling. Being on the highveld makes sense to advance the timing to 10 or even a bit more (will try this ...

Hi Nick, What's with the new name? What happened to V-Hatchi? Yes, done what you suggested and yes, should have given feedback on the cooling problem. Wih a shroud fitted to the Rad, temperature now below 90 and stay like that in traffic. Did check timing with dizzy vac line on carb blocked. Will tr...

Hi Guys, I took the Ranchero out for a spin over the weekend, something I do not get to do very often. With less than 1000KM since a complete overhaul, including electronic distributor and brand new Holley 600 cfm, with a timing of between 5 -7 deg BTDC, I am getting typical dieseling when I shut th...
