I drove an '82 F700 Ford single axle tractor pulling a 45 ft trailer all over Iowa one summer with that 8.2L Fuel Pincher in it. It did stretch a gallon of fuel quite a ways, about 8 miles, Tractor only had one little 40 gallon fuel tank, just big enough to need fuel on both ends of my runs. Driving that truck was about like driving my '78 F-150 except the F-700 had air brakes. There was some goofy thing with the injection system, it would start missing on one cylinder, then two, then three, four, and about that time it would disappear for several weeks and come back.

That Ford got replaced with a little IH FleetStar with 478 cid gas V-8, pulled same loads same trailer, and got around 3 mpg, still gassing up both ends of my trips.

On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
