Are you sure it has emission controls on it?  Some half-ton trucks of that
vintage made it out without this stuff because they were designated as work
vehicles.  A friend has one like this, with the 5-speed, of about this year
so I will check the next time I am at their house.

PS - I have a customer here in east TN that wants to sell their 1992(?)
F-150 and if you didn't know better, you would think it just came off the
show room floor.  It was literally used as a grocery-getter for the wife.
Unfortunately it is a lighter two-tone red color, but they only want
something like $3000.00 for it.  If it were any other color...

Injection is up & running. I've got too many other irons in my fire to
alter it right now anyway. But if it ever decides to misbehave...

I am a little concerned that I won't be able to de-emission it without
upsetting the EEC. Am assuming proper injection depends on a happy
computer.

The clutch pedal starter safety switch has already been bypassed.
Whose bright idea was that switch anyway?

I probably should have been looking for an F250 or better -- have a
10.5:1 460 in storage and nothing to transplant it into. With all due
respects to Dave Stragand, don't think it'll fit into a DeLo. How
would I mate a transmission with a bellhousing SMALLER than the
flywheel anyway?

BTW: this is the truck I was slam shifting around New Jersey. Is
currently in DC. Am taking the train up for Xmas to drive the poor
thing the rest of the way home.
