Hey Car Enthusiast and community! My problem is I got a ford 352 Cdi 4bbl 8 cylinder. it was a barn find. It runs good the body is in good shape etc, I post pics soon! I know all my problems but I don't know where everything goes or what's all missing! This car older than me and my parents, it's about 75 80 years old 😂 I see you can buy a 20 dollar Manuel for it but does anybody have a free PDF Of the 352 or original Manuel already or any tips or pics of there knowledge. It starts but it's over heating and there a it's hard metal hose broken off under the radiator and 2 missing by the carb I think it's the distributor advancement hose. The dude who had it before me, rebuilt the heads but he unhooked everything in the process because he planned on fully rebuilding it but he died before he could carry out his plans unfortunately. It's been sitting up for 15 years. Also when you put the key in the alternator light comes on but once started it shuts off, is that just faulty wiring? Yes I am rebuilding it and carrying out the old man's dreams. So far I have stripped the inside because the carpet was rotted you could barley touch and it would shred and it stunk so bad, and I fixed the carb. It's mainly hoses I need a Manuel if anybody has one i
​would appreciate it a lot make sure it the ford 352 Cdi though I don't have lot money 😅 I just do with what I have.


Lmk if it's a 352 or 390 got told it was a 390 by lot people but vin says it's a 352 cid I'm going by vin because I got told it was all original and there was never no swaps only thing was the heads were rebuilt. And rebuilt good!

Can someone tell me what carb this is and what upgrades are best for it? What ports are coming off the carb/where they go/what connects to them? I don't know mainly the bottom ones!

If you see anything wrong with this picture let me know!

Are there supposed to be screws/or bolts in this Ac compressor in the top of it where it's open now?

If you see anything wrong with this picture let me know!


I can't zoom In but that silver cylinder thing with the spring it has a seal and some reason it has a leak from I don't know what it is or what it goes to any help would be nice

If you see anything wrong with this picture let me know!

What this metal cable I know it hooks to the throttle boddy and its missing the speed position spring something like that. got told it's the transmission speed cable it controls the hole the transmission speed and gear shifting but 😐 lmk what you think?


I don't understand why all this wiring is sloppy was it just put back in this way or is this how it came back in the day?






Ac compressor cover in fluid because that hose is busted beneath the radiator. And back in the day, they put ac oil in them so everything so oily .oil pump all good, water pump, everything That and those other 2 3 hoses that I pictured im surprised that this car even has a compressor because car back then had no A/c 😂
