check your choke, make sure it's opening all the way

mine did it all the way on the 70 mile trip home. after going through checking and fixing all the vacuum lines , the problem went away. 1985 B2

I just looked it up from NAPA and the manual and auto have different numbers, as well as different numbers for u joints

go to a reputable parts dealer online and search both parts and see if the part numbers are the same for both applications

my 85 B2 seems a little mushy for me , I'd like to stiffen the rear suspension . I have a donor B2 which I need to pull a rear shackle from , so is there any reason why I couldn't add a leaf ? The B sits level at a good height. also would there be any need to go to a heavier shock ? And if...

any power to the injectors? Back in my GM days there were fuses for injectors, that was probably 75 percent of no starts,I really haven't gone into fuel delivery on Ford FI systems , but if you have fuel pressure and spark , that's what I would look for

a4ld pan looks like my pan... a4ld

door sticker on my 85 EB is 205 75 15 on the 88 xlt it's 195 75 15 I have 30 9.50 15 on the 85

already paid for them , going over later today and driving them home.

nope there's 2 nuts and the washer, the 2cnd is covered in grease, plus other stuff. The cam that does the locking isn't there. I had to adjust the bearing , so I know there both there, had to use a bar to turn the rotor, and to think I drove it 70 miles to get it home, bearings ok though ...

looks like you're the winner..:beer: , and to top that off I had to use a bar to get the rotor to turn .....I bought this off a truck mechanic

this just doesn't seem right, the guy I bought this from said the 4wd works great, so I checked and felt the trans case kick in, and then wrote it off as auto hubs as he said he hasn't used it since last winter, so get it home pull the hubs to clean them and this I found:icon_confused:

choke heater on the right of the carb. passenger side ......should have voltage when the engine is running. you can unplug it and check for v with a test light ...y or no.... you can get a jumper wire and jump voltage to the heater from the battery to see if the choke heater itself is working...

uuuhh ok so I'm getting confused here now, "fourth gear didn't want to work " or it didn't want to run in fourth?.........check to see if your choke is opening all the way.....and flipping your lid shouldn't have any affect
