So after all the rain and lousey weather i finally prepare for my maiden voyage in the f100 I have been working on. I installed a new Gas Tank, New Fuel Line, and rebuilt the carb, however the carb kit didn't look exact, the power valves or whatever they are called on this ford 2bbl, were different, i left the outside one alone and changed the inside one to the one that appeared close, big mistake, when i shut off the truck, fuel seeps out of the base, and the float and needle are working. Hopefully changing back the power valve will help.

Now for my question: I believe my truck was sitting for a long time, and today was the first true running of the engine. I believe I singlehandidly lowered the mosquito population in NY with the Smoke. It's my first Y block experience, are they notorious for guide seals? not alot of blow by or pressure at the oil fill, so I am not thinking rings. Can the guide seals be replaced without disassembly, with the air in the plug hole method?

I so wanted to take her around the block today,

Mike
