I need some help. Does anyone have a whole day they can spare? I have this truck that's (supposedly) close to running. It needs fuel lines, an msd ignition/dizzy/module (wiring harness) hookup [it can be home-made], . I believe that is all, but not positive. If you read my last umpty million posts you will see that I am mechanically stupid... I guess. I have replaced about 35% of the engine or parts under the hood. I have money to pay for REAL help, but I need a REAL mechanics (GOOD backyard mechanics welcome)type help, not BS. I am fixated on not having to tow to the shop, I REALLY do not like being beaten with excuses for a new whoppity do flanger object if unnecessary and howditty ho objectordifferentials. CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP ME???? I AM GOING NUTS!!!!

 

Argh that danged ignition badly/not installed by the previous owner. I hope that's the reason for not running, you're right to concentrate on it now and the fuel lines, it has to be hooked up correctly to find out about most of the rest of the motor. I won't travel off-island unless family emergency, sori.

Here's two recalls for 1983 F250 fuel lines, fittings and pump that may help pinpoint the particular problem in yours.

I wish you were closer, I would help you out. I might be able to talk/post you through the MSD hookup and wiring.

I'll get a shrink after someone comes over and gets this damn thing running.
