ok im a little green when it comes to v8s lol will an xf startor motor fit a v8 engine? and would it crank it?

oh well thats easy i will be trying that in the morning and the guy at auto 1 was making me out to be an idiot. i hate that shop but my other choice is repco, supercheap are s@#t and covs are usless so im thinking ebay it is. thankyou mate i appreciate it very much.

Ok i need sum info im let to believe that the engine in my f100 is a 351but without taking of the sump im never going to know for sure and according to auto 1 here in geraldton my model didnt come out with a 351 only 302 but my problem is trying to get an accelerator cable are the both engines the same when it comes to the cable? I need one as when i drop my foot you can feel it sluggish and bunching up and not flowing into the sheeth but if you ease the accelerator on very slowly its not bunching up at the carby i just want to buy a new one and didnt think it would be this hard.

I glued it up and i will let it dry over night and see how it goes tomorrow

If float level is right you could just bang some araldite or something on it should be all good.. to set the air bleeds( two small screws either side of bowl I normally wind all the way in then two turns out both sides, as they should be the same then wind one side in until it stars to run rough or you notice change of tone then 1/8 a turn back out then count how far that is to all the way in say 1-3/4 turn then set otherside to the same as this, should be all good

Hope you can understand my shit dribble..

 

Cheers jake

thanks jake thats very handy indeed  this is exactly why i love this car site

It runs perfectly fine thats the weird part. Can I just seal up that top part with some glue? Just asking is all as I took the 4 bolts off had a look the float sits level and there are 2 screws either side on the ends im assuming they are the air mix screws as I screwed them right in and then I coudnt get car to start until I screw them back out to where they were and then it stopped leaking as much.

ok i recently bought an f100 and this holly carby leaks on the circle in pic when i switch from gas to petrol but i have no idea what it is or how to stop it leaking.

i didnt have to chase anything i went with my gut feeling and yes it was the coil pack! .

hi all my au series one 4 litre just today started being sluggish you know when you put your  down to accelerate  and its like its got no power and running rough sluggish? anyway i have changed the air filter and i cant get the clip of the fuel filter the rubber hose part my mate is coming around with his special tool to do that for me anyway what im curious of is what it could be? im honestly not sure if changing thefuel filter will make any difference? any help will be muchly appreciated.

ok im building a car trailer and i have a breaksafe 6000 eletric brake system now what i dont understand is , is it meant to wire into the 7 pin plug?

lol luckily thats just where i was wet and drying it will hose off with a bit of degreaser and a good scrub

ok here is some pics

thanks guys it has worked a treat on the door and the panel they look fantastic. and revhead its bright lemon i like to be a little diffrent when it comes to my paint on cars its soo bloody bright it will most definetly stand out when i get around to doing the rest of the car and i did the etch primer in a plain grey and went over that it seemed to work really good the problem i seemed to have last week i coudnt see the yellow blending over the white properly but on the grey i could. must be getting old lol. i will upload some pics in about an hour.

i love to get advice and give advice when i know i can help also

ok just a quick update on this i have wet and dried the panel and door down brand new bucket and wet and dry and just sprayed them with etch primer and i will try again.

and i thought enamel was enamel not acrylic enamel?

ok thankyou to everyone rob, glenn, gav, campo, jamie247, revhead i didnt touch the panel or door today as i broke my compressor i snapped the brass fitting that goes into the tank and cant get it out but i went to the tip shop and picked up a bigger one for $10 needs a new plug for oil top to stop it blowing out the top when running anyway it makes sence that the bucket wasnt clean as it was not clean and the bit of wet and dry was not new i used it the other week to rub back a vs commodore ute panel that had metallic on it so yes the contamination makes sence and there was plenty of dew last night also although i did have heat lamps i dont think they were helping much. and i will get some yellow primer if possible to get and the thinners eating into the underpaint that looks like what it did i used 3 parts paint 1.5 parts thinners so yes there was a bit and it was 13 degrees last night so that defintly didnt help me.

No thats fine the paint is just standard enamel not acrylic i used my spray gun and i did rub it back and wipe down with thinners before i painted but it was dark when i painted it and quite cold.

here is some pics sorry its dark out so hard to get a good pic.

ok it seems i have run into a little trouble painting up my panel and door on my ute im using enamel high gloss and i prepped up i was planning on using the white paint  as undercoat, i sprayed first coat on front drivers panel and drivers door both off the ute but when i did you can see the paint had what appears to be dimples in it pretty much all over it and on the door what looks like to be round circle dimples where the paint didnt want to cover it??? and on the pannel it looks like it wanted to bubble off towards the bottom? im stumped. any help would be apreciated.
