Selling this because I have too many projects to do, and just don't have time to get to it. I listed it on FB Marketplace, but I'd much rather see it go to a forum member who will fix it up or drive it. Other than the pictures of the rust in the bed corners (outer sheetmetal only), this truck is EXTREMELY solid! NO holes in the cab or floorpans (picture looks worse than it is, there are no holes in the floor), cab supports, cab corners, window channels, roof rails etc etc. Paint is mildewed from sitting, but actually cleans up pretty decently.

This truck ran and drove, in fact I drove it home when my Dad bought it about 20 years ago. I drove it for a while before parking it for the winter one year, and it has sat since then, about 10 years ago. I have removed the carb to clean it out and get it running again, which I will do soon, but as of writing this, it is not running. Engine didn't smoke and ran fine.

Details: 1976 F100 Ranger XLT. 390 FE engine, automatic. Original AC truck, but compressor has been removed and I do not have it. Ran and drove good, but has been sitting for 10 years. Carb and brakes will likely need gone through. Undamaged grille. VERY solid truck. Only rust is at the rear corners of the outer bed. Inner bed floor and sides were lined years ago and are solid. No roof rail rust. Side trim is straight and perfect, as is almost every trim piece on the truck. Only body damage is a slight dent/scrape in passenger side of bed and the hood where snow fell off my roof and pushed it down. Not positive it can be fixed, but may be able to.

Excellent starting point for a restoration, or use as a driver. Clean title.
I have it listed on Marketplace for $7000. That is an asking price, but offers are welcome.

......purple should not go to purple out of the distributor. Bl;ack/orange goes to purple, and purple connects to green.

Yeah, never understood this about MSD. It's like they purposely try to make it more difficult than it needs to be, just because they can. Match the freakin' colors!

Had these a long time and don't see a reason for keeping them.
NOS and darn near perfect. Pictured a small flaw in the surface finish on one door piece, which also has a very light scratch in the middle. Everything else is about as close to flawless as you can get.

Unfortunately, I only have 2 drivers door pieces and no passenger side, so this is not a "set". Also do not have the cowl pieces, but you can buy them. I believe the hood pieces are the same for both right and left.

SOLD

Got 2 of these that I won't be needing.
One is good, but has some external surface rust and a decent ding in the tank. Also missing the vent tube.
The other is near perfect with no rust, clean inside and only has a VERY slight, small indent that I can't even get to show up in pictures. About as close to perfect as you can get.

Asking:
    $40 for the less than perfect one
    $100 for the near perfect one

My point of quandaryment is, who is my bigger enemy?
Is it the Chinaman who supposedly wants to kill me and send the American economy into a downward spiral?
Or is it the Investment Firm that bought a family owned business (Edelbrock) that's selling an intake manifold that the R&D and foundry tooling was done 30+ years ago and has decided that gouging the consumer to the tune of $700+ is the way to go?
I can't decide.

It's not quite as simple as you make it out. Edelbrock is located in California, so add what % just based on that? Regulations, cost of raw materials, environmental fees for U.S. based foundries, living wages for an American foundry worker (especially living in your state of Cali)....the list goes on, and on, and they all contribute to that price. Then China comes along, steals the design, pays their worker a couple bucks a day, with no environmental costs, and dumps it on the consumer....and you supported that. Seems you made your decision.

Well that sucks. Just like Pro Stock Engineering, a few years making great FE stuff, then gone. Sorry for the analogy, I'm only speaking from a parts producing standpoint.

It would be great if Pond, or someone with experience and access to quality foundries, stepped up to keep producing these parts, especially the adapters and heads.

but I will
continue with this forum and the business for a couple years yet - Jay

Are we to take this that you will be shutting down the business and the forum in a couple of years?

If you're talking about the Liberty Equalizer, and not their TKX series, and the Lenco, there is no comparison to the Jerico. The Equalizer and Lenco can handle much more horsepower without issues (reasonably speaking, of course). There's nothing wrong with a Jerico for racing, I have a DR4-4, but parts availability would stop me from getting one now. For moderately high horsepower, I'd choose a G-Force. For maximum performance engines, I'd choose a Liberty, but that would require driveshaft tunnel cutting to make it fit. It's wide.

From his site:
"We are not taking transmissions in to be remanufactured at this time due to ongoing supply chain issues."
Not surprised at this, as supply chain issues have affected many manufacturers, especially since the Covid dust-up. If you can't get one needed part, you can't rebuild them.

Jerico went out of business, so parts are obviously hard to find, if not impossible. This was completely expected, until someone steps up to continue production. That is probably unlikely, at least anytime soon.

It seems he is still selling parts and parts kits though.
