Not right off hand, I left the adapter with the pop tester when I left the Ford shop. I got the brake line and nuts from a local truck hardware shop that makes our hydro hoses.
No, A/C job I did the other day had smaller shims. These were the largest shims I've ever used, they came off older Ford compressors from the 70's and the 80's. I have several left but they're fairly thick. I could measure them if you'd want me to send them to you. I also have 3 of the original...
So I've finally found the right shims that I used
Original Shims 0.407in or 10.35mm ID
0.592in or 15.05mm OD
A/C shims I used were 0.395in or 10.04mm ID
0.552in or 14.04mm OD
I was working on the pumps in the main sewer lift station in town, small room 30ft down, with forced air ventilation. Much fun!
I had to go back and re look at the shim pics to make sure I had the right ones. I'll try to get the info to marrow
That info in post #58 is wrong those are too small, I got them out last night and had a couple of the original injector shims with it but it'll be tomarrow before I can measure them for you. Been in a deep dark turd filled hole all day....WoooHooo
Sure, I'll get them out of my tool box and measure them tonight if my batteries are good in my caliper. I didn't just use the 0.1mm shims on mine I had some thicker ones also, they come as assortment of sizes. I just mixed and matched until I got the right pressures. I've not been able to find...
White owl equipment had the nozzles when I did mine but I was able to clean them all easily enough. I had a injector rack that holds the injector in a cup that I filled with carb cleaner while I was waiting to disassemble and clean them, and then the rest polished off with a rag soaked in carb...
The bore brush came out of a kit that had 30 or more in it, got it off the tool truck. I belive it was brass... possible it was stainless. And I don't see why a gun brush wouldn't work. It was the same type I just had a big kit at work for doing that sort of thing.
As far as the shims, I had...
Update.... Fuel mileage has increased not sure how much but definetly better than the 3mpg estimated before the fix. During my previous drive I forgot to record miles, but I drove for 1.5-2 hrs total round trip and only burned about a 1/4 tank or a litttle less! Yes I know the guage can lie but...
I got all the pop pressures set between 3200-3400psi. The Tm calls for 300psi or less variation across a set. My goal was all to 3400psi but this was as close as I could get them with what I had.
shenkman Thanks for posting that I couldn't figure out how to do that and was sure everyone thought...
Which manual did you get that from??? Was it one listed here or did you pay for it? The TM 9-2815-34-2-2 showed 150 ft lbs I know it's wrong but I would like to know where to find the correct info. That would be much appreciated! My bolts were 5/16 and grade 8 looked to be origanal to the...
