So my son bought an 86 F150. V8, 4 spd, 4x4. We drove it 60 miles home and then it would not start. I wonder why? I can't believe it ran at all. I've heard of HEI but jumping almost an inch?
Correct cap and rotor and it fired right up again. No wonder the previous owner said it was only ran sometimes and he didn't know why. At least it was cheap because he thought that there was a short in the ignition system.
Upon complete inspection, other than cosmetic body rot, everything is in great shape. Suspension, brakes, steering, wiring, etc. Frame, floors, cab mounts and corners are all solid. It may even pass a Virginia safety inspection once the exhaust is routed out the side or rear.
