Yep thats a 30 year old truck. Anything rubber is bad, and anything that moves needs to be fixed.

:shrug:anybody know the difference in 2.0 and 2.6 distributor,are they interchangable?
I doubt it very much that they are compatible at all. If you need something out of a 2.0 dizzy, I have a couple of them sitting around with internals.
Count the sprocket teeth and if you have both, match them up.

thanx BradMph.mines is 2.0 but i picked up a 2.6 distributor at the pullapart today just because. also got the carb coil and ecu off it.i cant help myself,going back tomorrow to see if i can get the whole truck
the only 2.0 distros that work on 2.6 are the 79-82 years, but the curve for the advance is different. the 83 up 2.0 is a different series of motors than the 2.6, so they definately won't work
the gears look the same but 2.6 shaft is shorter and thicker:grin:. I just snag parts when I see em doesn't matter if I need em or not
pulled the worthless 2.0 today.time for the 5.0 conversion!
Lookin forward to the swap !
Post Pictures as You Go !
if I can figure out how to upload some pics...I can frankstien some vehicles but I cant work a computer!:shrug:

oh,ok thanks camoit.
sooooo, it begins. got it tagged today. me and this tag have seen a many of projects together!Attachment 7908
and ripped its guts out and threw em on the groundAttachment 7909
302 edelbrock 4 barrel intake and a c6 tranny. not as pretty as Fordibishi's but im not going for looks this go around! the guy told me the engine came from an 84 mustang but looking at the exhaust manifolds,im not so sure about that.Attachment 7910
$100 for the engine, $50 for tranny, still need a carb and distributor and a few misc. parts maybe another $100 and then the fab work begins
you will also need a front sump oil pan,pick-up, and timing cover off a 70's something with the dipstick in the cover.
Fordibishi, I yanked the tranny from a 78 van with a 302,the engine was complete with the exception of the carb and half the dizzy.. imagine that,huh. anyways the timing cover should work out fine and im guessing it should have the front sump pan also. ran out of daylight today. thanks for the intel.
The EPA don't like it when you put in an older engine than the vehicle -pollution ya know - lol
EP who?? lol I live in a county that doesn't have emission testing, so I reckon im good!
it will fit,not exactly in there just right yetAttachment 7914
and this why Fordibishi says to use front sump oil pan, this is pic of the rear sump. it sits on the frame, STUCK. Not because I didn't believe him, I just had to see why.Attachment 7915
lol yep. that's why I went to a front sump, you can get a cheap chrome one from Summit. The reason you need a new timing cover is the dip stick is on the right hand side at the front to go into the front sump. Or you can use your existing one and drill a hole to put the new dip stick tube into again Summit carries them in chrome or go out to the wrecker and pull one off a 70's car and you will see where the hole is. You will also need a front sump oil pick-up tube that you can get from any auto parts store.

I love pullapart, take my tools and wander around aimlessly through acres of junk cars until I find what I need. and most of the time I find things that I don't really need but just gotta have it...:headbanger:
