Blast Cabinet Question
I have a Trinco bead blast cabinet and the different tips are for varying size air compressors. The large tip consumes a lot of air and the small tip will use less air. Start with the small tip and work your was up unil the compressor can just stay ahead of the air consumption. You will need to hook a shop vac to the H/F blast cabinet or you will never be able to see anything.

71 Fuel Pump Wiring
I just went through this when I wired the electric fuel pump to the stock wiring in my 71Z. The black wire at the fuel pump is grounded to the chassis at some point between the pump and the dash. to run the pump you simply need to supply 12+ to the green wire in the harness behind the radio. Its a mystery to me where the black wire in the harness behind the radio goes. What I did on the rest of the wiring was to use the oil pressure switch to control the pump with the 3rd connection going to the starter solenoid to run the pump when its cranking since using the oil pressure only will prevent the pump from running until the car starts. Last but I felt most important I put a fuel pump inertia shut off switch in the car on the drivers kick panel and wired it between the fuel pump side of the relay and the green wire in the harness behind the radio. I did not cut up the harness I simply used a male spade connector and shoved it into the green side of the plug to make the connection. The inertia fuel pump shut off switch will shut off the power to the pump in the event you have a accident. It also will shut it off if you hit a speed bump going too fast. It happened too me once when I had the intertia switch under the hood. That is the reason I moved it in to the car where I can reach it. That one time is the only time it has shut off. The inertia switch has a red reset button that you simply push to reset it. The inertia switch is from any fuel injected Ford from 1980-2000. its in the trunk on the left side behind a panel that is almost always marked that the emergency fuel cut off is behind it. Be shure to cut the harness as far back as you can when removing the switch. With out the 2 wire harness its going to be hard to connect A anti theft fuel pump switch can be placed before or after the inertia switch to cut power to the fuel pump if you want. I have a couple extra inertia fuel pump shut off switches if any one is looking to do this modification and does not want to go to a wrecking yard to get one.

71 Fuel Pump Wiring
I spent the last 30min searching the forums for the solution to the little problem I am having and have not really found a answer. I put a electric fuel pump in my 71 and used the wiring that is in the car for a electric fuel pump. I have the fuel pump connected to the existing wires for a electric fuel pump that are at the tank sending unit. The - wire that is in the harness is grounded to the chassis at some point. The + wire goes to a T plug that was taped to the wire harness behind the radio with blue tape. At this time there is no battery in the car and I am running the fuel pump off of a 12V power source connected to the T connector behind the radio and grounded to the chassis. The car has not been running in 6 years so I installed a electric fuel pump with a filter before it and a filter up front and I am pumping Kerosene out and back in to the tank to clean it up. I will leave the fuel pump and filters and use them once I get the car running. My questions are 1)Where does the other wire go that is in the T connector? 2)Did the dealer use a relay and where was it? 3)Where was the fuse they used (In Line?) I want to use as much of the factory wiring as I can in this conversion.

Obscene shipping costs
Can you simply pay the guy $1 for the part and tell him to repost it? Then in the feed back state that you paid the $1 but feel the shipping was a bit high at $23? You paid for the part at the price it closed at.

changing from a 180 to a R-200 in my '73
Gary, What your talking about is a rear transverse link brace that is curved. Your 240 should already have a curved one on it. Only the 70-71 had the straight ones.
