Hi mate, The resistor/balast wire is a thick pink wire, I believe it was in XB back due to having points and it dropped voltage after start up to est 8 volts so as not to cook the points, XC had electronic ignition with the module on the guard near your ac dryer,,, I had that issue with my XB when I installed an electronic dizzy,, OH and high end msd etc need a constant 12.5 PLUS volts to be happy so I avoided those options,, Great video and happy new Year,, PS waht a great pressie from the lovely lady,,,

Happy New Year to you too, looking forward to 2025 and what you have planned. Always enjoy your updates!

Hi mate, Ford would use high resistance wire from the ignition switch and that would be the ballast resistor. The actual wire.

Hello, "Missle industry" I was analyzing your channel and saw that in your channel have some problem, That's why your channel is not much growing and not getting much engagement, If you can solve these problems, Your channel will grow like a storm. If you tell I can tell these problems. Where can I tell? Here or ig or where?

I thought Fords had fusible link wire which might be brown

I enjoy your videos, I hope you have a nother car to do

20-1 box is 4 turns, 16-1 is about 3 1/4 turns. Power steer is under 3 turns. They do seem to be a bit different model to model. Variable ratio so the more you turn the quicker they are. There is also different 'assist' levels. I am unsure of how to sort the difference. XF seem to be better with the Saginaw pump. To get more 'road feel' add more caster. you can get 6 degrees with factory bushings. NEVER use poly bushings on these models, things will break. Chassis pick up, caster arm itself. Lower control arm. I have seen several of these broken and welded up numerous caster arm mounts.

If the HP line keeps weeping at the coupling u can get little cone shaped brass bushes to insert. I have some left over if u need some? I cant remember the part number.

Well done mate.🎉Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to you and your family, looking forward to seeing what you have planned for 2025. Always enjoy your videos.

I love your positiveaty and your can do attitude TC , looking forward to 2025 Merry Xmas to you and family 😊

Merry Xmas. My wife said you don't annoy her like hot rod garage guy lol.

Merry Christmas to you to my friend. I'm looking forward to seeing this car on the road soon with some videos coming. At some point soon, I will be uploading some videos on my channel soon, too. Bill's Channel 1987. Cheers from William Mount Gambier, South Australia.

Maybe consider an xd style distributor, standard with no points.maybe consider an xd style distributor. Thanks for the great video.

6 sec in,, it is a 302,, orange rocker covers, it is also written on the crank. XC on caarb and intake Having been there on those things check the rust in the waterjacket. They are very thin in the bores and if rusty will strike water when tanked then bored. Yes they are an obese top heavy pig!

Hmmm beefy cables. Nice result. Sounds awesome.

What’s the custom driveshaft length.

If it leaks, seal it like in this video using straight rtv, no cork or rubber end gaskets. th-cam.com/video/wMU3ngiGEzA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=58MgznENKSWfPo5B BTW, what you thought was a water cross over is actually a heat riser from the exhaust ports for a factory choke pre heat. The little cover with the 2 small bolts on the drivers side top middle of the manifold is where it would connect. This is why a Turkey pan is used on a stock cast manifold. It should also be used on an alloy manifold if the exhaust gas ports are left open. Think of that hot exhaust gas running directly across the bottom of your manifold under your carburettor, not good. Oil hits that and gets super hot. A lot of people think it's to stop hot oil hitting the underside of the inlet manifold. Yes this might be true, but the exhaust gas crossing over would be way hotter. A few options, weld up those ports, silicone a thin tin plate patch over them, silicone them up, or even stuff them with aluminium Foil. I think some manifolds delete (block off) the heat riser ports at the port face by not having the ports in the first place. A phenolic spacer is a good idea, although a waste of time until you block off the crematorium running under the manifold 😂

Aren't they so much lighter than the cast iron ones. I got a single plane Redline Torker 35 years ago from a guy that didn't need it anymore for $100.... Now there are $1000 plus. It's looking great, keep up the good work.

just a heads up the cork china wall gaskets generally will leak best way is to use silicon instead clevo king has it in his videos and works great great work though

I swaped over to one of these on my cleveland - I think the main bennifit was the weight saving, and I would agree with gregh6794 that any power gain from it is very minimal without other improvments to compliment it. I recon you could change the world if you had both hands at your disposal. Which is to say I do not know how you do so much while holding that phone. another great missle industry production.

Looking awesome mate and I'm looking forward to seeing this car on the road very soon

Pity about the damaged fingers though!😢

A phenolic spacer might be a worthwhile addition to not only insulate the carb from manifold heat but it lines the air cleaner better to the bonnet nostrils for better airflow into the carb. It worked wonders on my 351 XC

Good move staying away from Chyna stuff :) But really the factory cast 4 barrels are under rated ;)

Lucky U didn't strip the threads out of the crank

How's the window tint holding up

Maybe even add a clear coat

I like it buddy old school ......

Can I see an after market shifter in the wagons future so being bumped into drive won’t happen again.

Looks Good .. Build On

Looking mint and awesome, mate.

Sometimes things happen for a reason. The car looks much nicer with the 4 lights.

Not so crusty now🎉

Im loving the DJR XE and the Moffat XC wall art

You can purchase XB GT driving light ring inserts for your grille online, could be an option for you.

You can plastic weld those broken bits back in.... And use the plastic welding to fill in bits that might be missing.... Anyway once you cut holes, maybe make some homebrew rings from 150mm or so plastic pipe...

A professional window tinter using top quality tint will do a single cab ute for $500 minimum. A wagon you'd be paying 2k easy - I have 65 on my utes 5 windows and 15 on the windscreen

Looks great mate,, I watched a detail show years ago from the USA They used STEEL WOOL OOOO and sopay water,, I've doen this and magic bunnings has it,

Looks really good, it has come a long way from what it started out as.

You might want to track down the plastic washers that go behind the window winders so the handles don't munt the door trims. They also make the little silver discs for hiding the machine screws on the window winders to complete the door trims.

Another great episode.

Coming along and it looks great.

Got to hand it to you TC you are having a awesome crack well done looking good.

That god awful blue spoiler on the back - why ? It would look heaps better and cleaner without it, or at least painted white like the roof.

With the inner felts, how did they attach? My hardtop inner felts were stapled to the metal top of the door card so I ended up having to use a couple of well placed rivets to get the new ones on.

Progressing nicely.

Awesome the tail gates are a pain.🎉

great video once again.. question is whats the next ford project lol?
