330 engine

[prospector7916]

could use some help on a 1970 ford 330 industrial in a f-600. i'm wondering if the engine parts can be interchanged with other ford smallblocks, such as carb, fuel pump distributor, etc. i know it's not a pickup but i'm hoping some of you ford guys can help

They are completely different engines. Maybe the carburetor but that's about it.

any clue as to where to find parts?

this truck runs beautiful at an idle an when she wants to she's a powerhouse having some trouble hesitating and stalling going up hills i've loaded it a little over26,000 truck weighs 8900 pulled beautiful next day it doesn't want to run enough to pull a 25% grade

thinking it could be fuel pump or coil any suggestions?

A 330 is an FT series engine which is a truckized version of an FE engine. It bigger brothers are 361 and 391. There were a couple different versions of the 330.

Any good parts store should have listings for parts. If you have a good independent or a NAPA near you I'd try them first.

I would check fuel filter and lines first. Then I'd take a look at points and plugs. The fuel pump is a possibility but unless it's leaking I'd change the filter first.

The coil is unlikely because in most cases when a coil fails it's done.
