A few things that can be done is to do a full tune up: Plugs, wires cap, rotor, air filter and oil change. That will help. Also replacing or cleaning sensors like the Throttle position valve, Air intake valve, Air Temperature sensor and O2 sensors will greatly improve economy. Those sensors help to determine the proper air/ fuel ratio. if the mix is too lean or rich you will burn through gas. These relatively cheap repairs will definately help. i did all this to my 99' ram 4x4 last week and increased MPG from 9.8 to 13.4 mpg.

Thank you for your question and good luck!

Trying to figure out why a normal 1970's Ford 351c Freeze plug is way to small for my 1972 Ford 351 Cleveland?

measure the diameter of the welsh plug holes that you need plugs for and any spares shop will have a GeeJay kit of welsh plugs that will have the plugs you want
The idea is to fit the plugs , the problem of why can be answered later after the job is done

How do i tell if my engine is a cleavland or not i dint have any manuel or not

There were no clevelands in 1982. You most likely have a 351 windsor or a 302.You could have a 300 inline 6 cylinder.

I have an 84 ford f150 4wd 351 foru barrel carb im getting 5.5 mpg on a good day i do not run it at high speeds mainly in the mountains and around town at times no gas leaks i can find any suggestions

Unfortunately, old ford trucks **** gas. However, you can check your emissions controls. A stuck valve or switch can drastically change your efficiency. Make sure you have a clean air filter, check your timing, and carburetor settings.

I have a 1965 food falcon with a mustang 302 (1978 ) v8. how do i know if it is a windsor or not?

Well there is a 302 cleveland, they are mainly an Australian engine. Identifying one is much like telling the difference between a 351 windsor and a 351 cleveland. Based on the fact that it's from Ford's 335 engine family. 8 cap screws to hold on the valve covers, the block is longer do to the timing chain housing being integrated. The fuel pump bolts are mounted vertically, and the exhaust bolt holes are diagonal. Also, a big difference between an american 302 and an aussie 302 cleveland, is the connecting rods for the cleveland are 6.000''. Where the american 302 connecting rod length is 5.090". Also, referring to a 302 as a windsor is incorrect, it's block families name is the 90 degree v8. The only engine in that family that is properly named the windsor, is the 351 windsor. The 90 degree family also includes the 302 boss. The boss has cleveland style heads, and the block has screw in freeze plugs.

Need schematics for 1982 Ford with 351 engine . (hot rodding a 51 ford, and need to know engine wiring for ignition of a 82 351 cleveland) to get spark) It's got a distributor, and a 2 and 4 wire connector...

I worked at the library and you can go to the Reference section ( those books can't be checked out) but you can copy what you need, they have old repair manual that are extremely detailed at the professional level, pictures of schematics, complete brake down on repairs much better than you can find in any book today that you buy at the local auto parts store. if one library does not have them then go to the next library in your area.
