I believe the "A" was for gas rationing purposes. You could only buy gas on "A" days. Two years ago a kid (17 yrs old!) found an old car in a...
Only if you have 4V heads. The exhaust ports are that different. The hole on a 4V exhaust manifold is bigger than the whole exhaust port boss on...

I am 99% sure that the only difference between the F-100 and F-250 is axles and hubs and of course spring rate. What this means is that the...
