uterus 80 Posted October 15, 2014 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.

PRO250 1,506 Posted October 15, 2014 Same cable mateAs for 302 or 351 pull the dipstick, pull a spark plug, sit the dipstick in the hole wind the engine till the piston is at bottom dead centre (piston down as far as it goes) mark the dipstick. Now wind the engine to top dead centre (piston right at the top) and mark the dipstick in the same place againNow messure the space from the top and bottom mark, 3 inch is a 302 3.5 inch is a 351 its that simple 2 Thom and uterus reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
