88 XF heater tap
Outback Jack reacted to djbxr for a post in a topic
Hi i have a manual 88 XF falcon ute, and the heater is no longer getting hot, i checked the thermostat and it was closed when the car was cold, so i assume its not that. am going to put it in hot water and make sure it opens up ok. so i was reading perhaps its the heater tap, i bought a new one online, but can someone tell me where the heater tap is on an XF, is it in the engine bay or up behind the dash thanks -
1 pointLeave the matting off. it looks crap anyways.
-
1 pointyep. thankfully hasn't gone through to the upper side. so ill take the bonnet off, and go nuts on the underside cleaning it up, and spraying the inside, then install new matting.

88 XF heater tap

Hey mate if it's the same as XG , it's in the engine bay on the passenger side towards the back of the motor. In XG its under the log manifold, not sure what motor you have, carby or efi. I'd have a look there, XF and XG have fairly similar engine bays. Sent from my S21 using Tapatalk -
1 pointYeah........ I recently got hold of BA front and rear calipers and rotors, for the same reasons.

Factory chassis and engine numbers were often hand-stamped, so look dodgy even though they're legit. They only have to be legible when new, they don't care about 40 years down the track. Sent from my CPH1920 using Tapatalk -
1 pointthis looks interesting, but i have no idea what benefit is has.. @Thom probably has a clue though?

Tuning your Falcon with a T.I. Performance J3 Chip
Outback Jack reacted to galapogos01 for a post in a topic
Hey Jason, We will be able to sort something out for your setup with a Stage 2 J3 Chip. Best to run an EL Falcon ECU, they plug straight in. Any more questions just drop us an email. Cheers, Jason -
1 pointClassic! Funny how everything gets swapped around over the years. Imagine parting out an XB pano today! Yeah they're all like this. Not sure why, but most F-truck stamps I've seen are about the same. Very shallow stamps and all over the shop too. Luckily I'm in NSW and my local bloke is pretty cool with most stuff. If he can do it he will, so long as you've got the right paperwork.

Boingk's F250 4x4

So your F-truck has an XB panelvan engine in it. whilst rather ironically... my XB panelvan, has an F-truck engine block in it. -

Boingk's F250 4x4
gerg reacted to SPArKy_Dave for a post in a topic
That's an 09/74 XB panelvan engine block. My 11/74 XB panelvan's VIN, starts with JG45PA. -
1 pointYeah roger that. I didn't think it was a 400, looks just like a regular-deck 351 to me. The heads look to be standard 351 castings too. EDIT: Just ran the engine number, it is apparently a September '74 date of production destined for a Falcon 500 Van.
-
1 pointThanks mate, and yeah interesting setup. The engine number is as follows, I get JG45PB - 41814K. Chassis number below for reference. Interesting find on the rear axle code, though, it apparently is listed for a 1975 1/2 F250 4x2 pickup. Maybe this whole thing is a conversion? Wow.

1 pointI do like the idea of the blue - on white, I think I might do it. The floors are stuffed and need welding and repainting anyway. I'll most likely use truck bed liner to pain the floor and leave the rest of the cab white inside, then go blue out and white Sunraysia wheels (which I already have). Yes, I'm keeping as much of the stock dash as I can. I fired it up last night and it all works as far as I can tell so that's a huge plus. The aircon unit has had its day (no surprise) but all the components are there. I may see about pulling it down for a refurb and use a more modern impeller and motor for it. If its too far gone internally, I'll just use a knee-freezer type I have laying around from a previous build. More as it comes, I have the day off tomorrow so hopefully can get her up and running. My main concern earlier was finding a VIN to make 101% sure she's not stolen etc... and she's clean as a whistle so lets get to it. - boingk

1 point"its fixed n fxxk does it haul arse" after an explanation like that Dave he is probably out running the blue lights somewhere between borders from vic to qld on the covert 2020 run haha hmm maybe I should give him my outback to wake it up a bit
