Time to rebuid the carb, accelerator pump sounds weak. you said you adjusted the carb back the screws out a turn you may have leaned it out to much

leolkfrm · 02-27-2009, 08:00 AM

did you happen to see the one crazymink posted in the classified? since you are into old fords

uranium67 · 02-27-2009, 02:29 PM

Yea, im the one who had trouble with the transmission and carb
i have the 1964 f100

hey i second the accelator pump in carb but also check for vacum leak

uranium67 · 03-09-2009, 08:20 PM

I rebuilt the carburetor and it seems to run better, but does anyone know what the Rear Band Adjustment is for the transmission?
I "THINK", emphasis on think, that that's the reason why shifting is slipping

not good with fords, but i believe the band is only used in second and reverse gear. if it happens in all gears then i would look at fluid pressure. does that trans have a vacuum modulator? could be causing the engine issues also.

Alright, cause when i shift the lever with the engine off, it slips in and out of gear, but when its going it shifts OK but the truck lurches forward, mainly in reverse.
