New Member Hello and Help Request 72 F250 Rough Idle

Post by Jimbo298 »

Hello to everyone. I was proud owner of 72 F250 Camper Special 360 engine for several years. Did a lot of work around the house and supported my sons first business when he was in high school doing yard maintenance.

Sold my trucka several years ago. My son had such fond memories of the F250 when he recently found the same color combo (wintergreen? over white) near his home in CA he bought it. His has a 390.

Bad news is that it is running rough even after mechanic installed electronic ignition, new wires and plugs (was running rough at idle with limited power before the work also) Trying to help him out remotely since I am in a different State. Any member in Santa Rosa, CA area know of a good person to contact to take a look at it?

Thanks

:wel: from the San Jose, California! I'm a distance south from Santa Rosa but I do have a good mechanic in San Jose. I'm sure he should be able to locate a capable mechanic up that way? I wish you and your son my best with your project. :fr:
