94 IDI Turbo 7.3
 

is there a place on the fuel system to bleed air out ?
if not I was thinking of making one using a primer bulb from a boat.

not sure what you are asking. on the fuel filter head there is a schrader valve(like on a tire) to let air out. engine must be cranked while holding that in till fuel comes out. if there is air in the injector lines or pump, you have to crack loose the lines at the injectors(5/8 wrench) and crank till fuel comes out of the lines and tighten as it appears. and just FYI, do NOT crank the engine longer than 15 seconds without letting the starter cool for 5 mins. it doesnt take much for a starter to overheat and die.

i can vouch for the burnt starter dont over do it lol

copy that, thanks....i still cant find the bleeder valve, maybe i will post a photo and somebody can clock me into it. There is something on the plastic air intake where ot says turbo...it looks like an air valve? what is that ?

Might be a air filter cahange valve, does it have a clear window with munbers on it and a reset button?

can I get the air filter restrictor guage from ford ?
it looks like there is a place for it on the side of the air box.

still looking for the filter restriction guage ....ford says they dont have them for my 94 7.3 K IDI Turbo....does ebay have them ? I also took Crawlers advice and got the Hypermax Cowl induction kit ....I was sceptical it would make a difference but it does ! cost....$ 88.00 + tax and 25.00 shipping from Alabama I think..well worth the money, next is the down pipe , exhaust and I was thinking of doing something to the stock Garret like putting a wicked wheel and having it honed out a little, I heard there are humps internally making it not operate to its full potential.

you might be able to get it from ford

Ford dont have any ! damn, its really not necessary but I would like to have it since there is a place for it....I also have a K and N Filter so it would help me keep an eye on when to service it. also mine would be the one that screws right onto the air box.
