Here’s Part 2 on my recently purchased 1983 F250 Ford pickup. In Part 1, I was figuring out whether or not this thing needed the engine replaced. What I thought was fatal rod- knock turned out to be a tuning issue, just knocking from too much spark timing. Now that that's resolved, more work ensues as I bring it closer to being a drivable and reliable vehicle.
