It's been a challenge working on the 4.9 engine in the E150 a very tight place to use your tools but with patient and a lot of rust penetrating oil, I was able to remove all the parts that was in the way, to be able to install the new fuel regulator and the intake/exhaust gasket. way before I got to this point the bolts to the alternator and the air pump was seas rusted in, had to to use a ply-bar and hammer then out and this took some time I almost quick the process of trying to install the intake manifold and the exhaust manifold gasket.
Hi my name is Angel Garcia and I am the owner of a 1988 ford econoline 150 cargo van. I brought the cargo van used in 2003 to carry my canvas, art supply and ladders when i am painting a mural around town and some time when I'm out of town. now I want to use this blogger to documentation my process as I work on the van to remove the bad rust and replace it with new repair panel and do body work and so on, this will be a on going process as I gut grind and weld new panel.

Well today I got straight to work on the E150 taking things apart in the engine to get at the fuel presure reguitor but it's deep in motor between the intake and the exhaust manifold and since I am replacing the fuel reguitor. it's a good time to replace the intake manifold and the exhaust manifold gasket as well. its hard work working on old and rusty bolts and tight working space to work on.

I brought a few more new parts like compete distributor assembly and a relay for the fuel pump,ECM relay. and also a fuel regulator. I am going to order a fuel sending unit and check the gas tank when I take down the tank from the E150. Now that its getting warmer I can start work on the van again, while I was not working on the van I been checking out for use part or new parts on craigslist.
