    It will not hurt them at all, if anything, ATF will clean and lubricate the fuel system. I’ve primed my Fuel Filter and Racor water separator with 100% ATF. It will smoke some until it clears up. OR, run some 2 stroke oil from WallyWorld.

    Soooo. I need some help. How do i go about changing the way the throttle goes? Maybe I'm just remembering wrong it has been 4 and half years almost....

    But for some reason I'm thinking push forward for acceleration was the old one and this one now is pull back for acceleration.... this is bugging me i can't remember. Can anyone clear this up before i go insane with insomnia

    Got some more things done this weekend. Chased down a oil leak. Pulled manifold turbo oil cooler etc etc otf. Ordered new Gaskets and a few exhaust studds and turbo bolts. Replaced the old manifold with my one off my 7fb swapped it back to high mount turbo vs low mount. Rained a bunch so that's all i could do. I wish i had a shop to work on the ole girl...

    Is the manifold you took off what came on the engine (I think you said it came out of a ford)
    Also did you happen to get these ford mounts with the engine? IMG_6361.jpeg IMG_6363.jpeg IMG_6362.jpeg IMG_6364.jpeg
    Sorry not trying to hijack your thread but I am working on putting one in a ford right now.

    by the way I really appreciate what you got going on there

    Ill look when I'm home this weekend I'm pretty sure they are still on the pallet and I'm 75% sure they are the ones. Still have the manifold and everything i took off.

    I used my 7fb manifold in the newest pictures

    There's picture to zoom in on it. Do you need them?

    I have the mounts and manifold from another truck but the mounts are eroded pretty bad where the bushing clamps in. I know they are ford specific so could be a challenge to find more/good ones. The manifold I am going to guess the one I have is in better condition but still might be interested in it.
