The pedals are back in and the transmission shifts better-reverse is still a little touchy but it will work.      

Rob Williams  www.evergreenhydrogen.com stopped by and we discussed fixing up the F-250 with two dry cells producing 7 liters of hydroxy gas a minute. His Suburban is running one cell and is responding well although more tuning is in store. He took out his hydroxy torch and turned a rock into glass. The hydrogen flame is very useful. Rob takes safety very seriously and his system has built in systems to control flash back.

Rob's exhaust pipe has no soot on it when you rub it with your finger. 

On another note the clutch pedal has lost the shimmy it once had and is tight for now (as long as the JB Weld holds). Shifting into gear 1 and 2 requires no grinding and reverse needs a little feel in order to avoid the horrible rattle which goes up the hand through the
arm and into the spine. 

Thank you oilburners.net for your help answering my IDI questions! 

Rob noticed the red rust colored dust coating the F-250's engine bay and pointed out this was because of a water leak. Where?
