How are the brakes on that 1979 F350 ? I have a 1981 F350 had it since 1985 ? they never were as good as I think they should be. Had to cram them on hard and fast the other day and they were slow reacting. Ours had a 351M 2 bbl and single ex. Would hardly go over 50-55 mph empty up a grade ! Put a 4bbl. and dual ex. on it and an edelbrock performer cam and that woke it up pretty good.

I actually gained 1 mpg when pulling the trailer ! The 460 just runs so much better !

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
