1967 FORD F100 OFFENHAUSER INTAKE AND HEADDER UPGRADE

[@jshoptaw5862]

I did the same with my 85 F150 4x4. Unfortunately I had my starter fail after about a year and had to pull everything to change out the starter. Haven't had any problems since. I also have a DUI ignition system in too.

@jshoptaw5862 I changed the starter after I did this...it sucked! I bought a small starter, that fits past the header...but I'll probably never have to change it again sence it's a good one that's resistant to heat soak. Tricky to size a starter for a ford 300, ya got to know how many teeth on the flywheel and the distance from the face... I ended up with this one: www.summitracing.com/parts/PWM-9104

[@jshoptaw5862]

@@billymonster1969 the 289 and 302 both use the same starter.

[@billymonster1969]

@jshoptaw5862 yes, but the 300 has a choice of 2. Automatic and manual are different plus some 300s had a different tooth count on the flywheel on some manuals...

[@billymonster1969]

I think the one I ended up with will also fit the 289 and 302 with 4 speed manual. I know I had to measure the distance to make sure...the auto parts store here was not much help. But no problems since the new install!!

Nice truck you got there. I know of a place where you might be able to get a finned aluminum valve cover to match that intake 😏

Cool truck! Don't see many straight sixes fixed up. I got a 66 F100 with a 352 V8 that I just put headers and Purple Hornies glasspacks on. It was a tough job but it was worth it. Sounds fantastic! I had to buy the mini-starter, gear reduction, by Power Master and it only fits one way with a little grinding on block and it is adjustable. It has a solenoid switch on starter like GM and right I'm using both the stock Ford solenoid and the one on the starter. Don't know how long my two-step solenoid set-up is gonna last. And I wanted to tell you I had one of those glass fuel filters break on me while driving. Lucky I didn't burn my truck. That was back in the 80's before the Chinese made Spectre crap showed up."👍 Keep on Truckin"

That is a sweet ride

Nice work , and yes that k you for your time posting.. I have.a 300 want to do this too. I'll check now if you posted the new throttle linkage.. seems like there could be a better way.

[@RCRANE1992]

what size plugs did you use for the intake?

[@russellapplegate5661]

At least he turned the carb the correct direction. The other way would feed the front 3 cylinders first

[@EvilResult]

True, but there's no better way to get a smooth peddle action with a short link than backwards. I have had no luck finding a backwards throw carb linkage.
