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. It didn't like being ran up too high of RPM though as just when it really sounded good and pulled hard it would float the valves and bend push rods. At least that's what I think happened ? You could only buy 1 strength of push rods for them at least back then. I ended up putting a 460 in there with the exact same 4 bbl. carb transferred over. I actually gained 1 mpg when pulling the trailer ! The 460 just runs so much better !

Let�s examine the purpose and design of these fasteners in order to ensure their proper use. Fasteners are probably one of the aspects of mechanics that is given the least amount of thought.
