Dual Tank system rear Tank pump not working.
Having a hard time finding out where the neg coil wire terminates.
Original location seemed to go into the cab of the truck (under dash). No indication where the connection point is. Anyone out there have an idea?
Fuel pumps are fine, Any ideas? :confuse:
thanks in advance

A: Lots.
Q: How smog-forming pollutants are released to produce the 1960 Ford F100?
A: None.
It sounds like the 1960 F100 owner is the true environmentalist. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
Have replaced the wires, plugs, Ignition (high voltage) coil, fuel filter, and checked the fuel pressure. Took the ignition module out and it tested fine at the local parts store. The parts store said maybe its the coil inside the distributer. I was told to pull the distributer, remove the gear on the end of the shaft, and disassemble the distributer to install a new one. While I'm not opposed to doing the work, it would be nice to have someone else agree with the parts store that this coil could cause the problem I've described. Any comments will be appreciated~!

I have a BW 1356 transfer case on my 88 F-250 4x4 and I am planning on rebuilding it myself. There is a site that sells videos on rebuilding transfer cases but I don't know which video to get. There are 3 choices: New Process 203, New Process 205, and a New Process 208. Here is the link to the site. http://www.technicalvideos.com/videos/transfercase.phtml
I called them on the phone and the woman who answered the phone could not tell me which video to get. She told me to ask transmission shops or part shops....weird.
Could any of you explain which video I might need or if there is better information available? Thanks in advance.

Ps: the video is under $30 and I thought I could watch it and then decide if I could tackle the job myself.
If the engine is overheating and the seller claims its the radiator's fault, you might not want to take his word for it, and check for a bad head gasket also. But if the radiator is just leaking a lot, then that's the problem obviously.
How are the tires? Truck tires are expensive.
When key is turned, excessive play in the turn and no electrical contact made to spin starter. Examination by mechanic showed battery and connections to be ok, starter to be functioning, solenoid to be ok, starter switch to be ok. Replaced ignition lock cylinder hoping to eliminate looseness in ignition, but discovered that there appears to be side to side movement in the actuator rod leading from the ignition lock down to ignition switch on bottom of steering column.The mechanic found that the truck had been converted to an automatic transmission which probably changed the steering column in some way significant but not obvious. Is there some sort of retaining device or stabilizing retainer for that actuator rod that would prevent sideways movement of the actuator rod (which prevents the spring loaded appearance of the ignition lock from the start position)? Perhaps somewhere hidden just below the ignition lock under the steering column covering? Also, where is the transmission neutral switch located? I suspect that it is either non functioning or perhaps needing adjustment. Is there any other area to investigate that could cause a non start situation?
This is clearly some kind of electrical problem but I don't know where to look or start.
Many of the starters produced require a strap (usually copper) which goes under the Battery Positive lead to the solinoid terminal. This supplies power to the ignition system complete and provides power to the solonoid. Without this strap nothing will work (other than jump starting as you have indicated. Install the strap should solve your problem. Mike9408

Any thoughts?
