Keeping it honest.. much respect.. it's has to be Love right.. why else would we never give Up..
👍😎
It's great to have the family around to help on issues with our cars, even if the issues get frustrating.
Sadly None of my family are car enthusiasts which makes it hard to do repairs but the internet is always there!
Try a FelPro MS93334 gasket and use Permatex The Right Stuff for the end seals.
I feel like every video about the stang is a cliffhanger - love the videos man :-)
It's always something lol
@@FourSpeedFilms
That's a good thing, then we have something to look forward to.
It's always something when it comes to working on classic cars...
Great channel, great video!
bro you're underrated af
My grandpa was there to teach me these same lessons too! Such a blessing, miss mine every day.
Ben- it's ALWAYS something. Your grandpa ROCKS! Learn all you can from him. Thanks for posting.
Always always!! Be sure to clean off the oil filter pad where the filter threads on to. Not very often but the old oil filter gasket can stick to the block. You screw the new oil filter, sometimes it will leak immediately. Or sometimes it’ll do what happened to my neighbor. He drove down the road about 5 miles it blew out. By the time he got to the side of the road he was out of oil and ground up his crankshaft.
Yes 🙌
You are lucky to have your grandfather you could learn a lot from him.
It's all part of the "old car experience". You've got this. 👍🏻
Oh man have I been there. I replaced the dizzy on my 68 coupe (highlighted on my channel, check it out), and I thought I would never get the thing started. I stayed up all night for a few nights scratching my head, but once it fired up--oh what a relief. Take care my man. Greetings from Tennessee!
Do a compression check of all 8 cylinders. Help to verify if a gasket is bad prior to tearing apart. Love the Channel!
Dang dude that sucks. The teething pains of a project are enough to make you want to throw a wrench at it lol. Don't give up on it though the results are infinitely gratifying!!!
I think it's kuul, that you dare put up your endavours, even those of your "mistakes" - we've all been there, just got to keep up the spirit!... (otherwise it'll get stranded for 2 years, 9 months, 23 days, 23 hours, 25 minutes and counting... yeah, speaking of personal experience! X-D )
Hey next time you put in the intake manifold, you don’t have to remove the distributor. It fits with it installed.
Also, if you take some old intake manifold bolts, cut the head off, and cut a slot in the top like a flat head screw, you can use them to guide the intake manifold into position and back them out after to install the bolts.
Yup, SBF is great since the distributor doesn't go through the intake. Also using the cut off bolts as temporary studs really helps with keeping the intake gaskets in place.
I went to a hardware store with one of the intake bolts and got 4 studs 3" long to do exactly this. Then when the manifold is down just hand thread them out
@@TheLostSoA Were you able to keep the distributor on with 3" studs? I feel it would almost not fit.
@@ahhhhstfu No I used the studs only to guide the manifold back on, then I hand threaded them out and put the regular bolts back in
@@ahhhhstfu I always remove my distributor when I do my gaskets
Daily life of the old car owner, i feel your pain, and you chuck less stuff around in annoyance than i do when i have to restart jobs lol
Sounds about how things are going with my 55 Pontiac. I was troubleshooting what I thought was a small wiring problem and the car almost went up in flames! Now I have to rewire it. That’s life with old cars lol
What i love about old cars is that it's an excellent opportunity to learn new things, especially considering how some (most...) issues aren't what the appear to be at first.
Keep at it, it will sharpen your skills and knowledge. Yes I hated it too, but hands on is the best way to really know.....
dude i swear this video sums up how i feel with my corvette, 2 years and im finally hours away from being on the road but i just cannot get it to run right, nightmare.
Hang in there, you'll figure it out!
Check to make sure the old oil filter gasket didn't stay on the block. Also the coolant in the oil could've been from when you removed the old intake and some coolant leaked into the lifter valley.
Looks good. It’s actually kind of a blessing the oil filter failed or else you guys would have never found that coolant got in the oil. Old cars it’s always something.
Exactly what i thought!
Great video. Just imagine if you posted weekly! Would be 100K + subscribers! Who knows...1 million one day!
Get ya a Purolator Boss Oil filter you will almost never blow that gasket lose on it. Good luck in the manifold redo. Liked the vid 👍
Don't sweat it, I can't count the number of times I've had gaskets not go on right the first time. Since you don't know the motor's history double-check that the angle on your intake flanges matches the angle on your heads (it should but if the heads have been decked for more compression those angles can change). Also recommend making that high-temp RTV silicone bead on the ends nice, thick and continuous instead of dabbing it on, it's a bit of an art. Love from Canada!
Light coat of rtv around coolant jacket helps gasket stay in place.
Best thing on TH-cam. Love your videos
I had Some problem with installing the intake too lately. Then I watched a video of someone with a 302 in a Bronco, and it helped pretty good. You need to be sure its good. Otherwise you will leak vaccuum too.
My 65' has been down for like 2 1/2 months already all I got left to do is to set the timing right tomorrow!
Been there done that, a lot of the time it doesn’t work out as planned and can be super frustrating but that’s just part of the challenge of working on and owning an old car, keep it the videos coming! Love these upgrade videos you have been posting lately.
Anytime you do a intake manifold change residual coolant gets into the valley of the motor because you have water ports that run thru the manifold and into the heads and back into the block. Virtually nothing you can do about it except drain oil and replace with new oil. What you experienced is routine maintenance with this modification.
If you kept the oil in the car while you removed the intake manifold, there’s a strong possibility that water got into the oil during the intake manifold replacement. I wouldn’t tear anything apart just yet. I would drain everything refill it and run it again.
Tough break, hang in there
I love your videos, you inspired me to do the same carb and intake swap on my ‘66! It took me three times to get it right on my mustang. I used a big bead of black permatex on the front and rear of the intake manifold and a light coating surrounding the water ports. Let it sit overnight so it fully cures too! Also, when you are tightening the intake, do it a few times around to make sure every bolt has the correct torque. What a pain!
Yep, intake manifold gasket. I recommend Right Stuff for a proper seal. Be sure to drain the oil/water completely.
Hopefully it's just the intake gasket. When installing an aluminum intake on to an iron head, it is very critical to follow some kind of torque sequence in stages and not just crank down the bolts in one step. Don't use ANY type of silicone sealant on the intake gasket itself. The sealant will allow the gasket to slip during the torquing sequence. I use to just use threaded rods to hold the intake and gasket in place first, then place install the bolts one at a time.
If you're running points, junk them and get a light wave replacement. Just set it up once and you're done forever. I don't remember if you have an MSD box, but that thing is worth it's weight in gold.
Good luck and happy motoring.
Good luck, dude!
I feel like I'm living vicariously through these videos with you, I get so bummed when your car gives you shit and I don't even like mustangs! But yours has that badass old street racing feel which I dig, I hope you get the car going soon man
Just swapped to a 4 bbl on my 68 fastback too. Ended up having to re do the gaskets because I though I left something in the push rod valley and it got to my head and kept me up at night. Still have to try to get it running though.
I once sat and stared at a wall for a couple hours at least, trying to remember if I put RTV on the ends of my two piece rear main seal. Unbolted the bellhousing, picked it back out, threw her on the stand, and cracked her open only to find I in fact did put RTV on the ends...
Love your films. Keep up the good work. Slightly off topic I used to read Robert Williams comic strips back in the olden days and even saw one of his fine art shows. It was really cool hearing about him in your other film.
Love the videos, old cars mate there’s always something but there’s nothing better than driving them when they’re good 😊
Looking forward to seeing it run again ... on the plus, looks like more family time for you !! Good luck !
Keep up the fight :- )
I'm working on my 69 Mach 1 right now......
Check your intake manifold gasket , The older 289s had a strange gasket thing were you have to match it up right...
good luck, could be piston rings if oil and coolant mix together....
Don't pull it apart ! You should just change the oil and see if you still get coolant in it again. You probably just drained some coolant into the block when you lifted the old manifold off. It's a pretty common thing. Also do you have GT40p heads on that thing? You can can tell because you will have 4 lines on the front of the cylinder heads.
Different water passage hole for Different years. Keep wrenching, thats how you learn.
I always use GM style return double spring within a spring
You’re definitely right that it’s expected for many projects on old cars lol. My 54 olds is a nice cruiser but I need to throw my other steering rack in there soon there’s too much play in the original! Sweet vid, good luck with the mustang!
Another amazing video. Great quality, great content. Original!!! Keep making. Once you get over 100k subscribers your channel will grow fast!
Progress! Excited to see it back on the road!
was watching this when my girl friend pointed out im wearing the same customs by the sea shirt as you lol
Good effort and good on you for filming the mishaps - that's life! When I was rebuilding the top end of my 302, I had several sets of neighbours all dropping by to see me make a mess of it! Anyway, you get there in the end. A BIG tip for you and I was shouting at you on your last video (!) is to put PLENTY of sealer at the front and rear of the inlet manifold! I didn't and ended up with bad leaks at both areas! Fortunately, they were resolved with the miraculous Lucas Oil Leak additive. Best of luck! :@D
Went thru the same thing with my 69 chevelle those intake manifold gaskets are tricky! Had to go thru 3 pairs myself keep your head up Ben 🤘
Can't wait to see her back on the road!
I know exactly how you feel man. Went through these same problems with my 65 ford and 64 Chevy in high school
Great video. Keep at it. Might need some Ford Racing Intake gaskets. Your channel is awesome man, Makes me want to do an update video on my 65 too.
It`s all part of the hot rod game. You`ll fix it.
man thats sucks better luck next time sounds like it ran good tho
Ran good for a whole minute😂
@@FourSpeedFilms better than nothing lol
Cool!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great job man
I'm working on a 1967 xr7 cougar
Good luck!
I feel u man i got a 65 barracuda and she's really moody but i still love her ❤
I feel your pain, my 66 hasn’t been on the road for months at this point and I think it’s gonna need a trans rebuild
Videos are sick 😁 gives me the inspiration to do my 66 mustang
Hey Four Speed. I love your videos. They are real-time. No BULL SHIT. It is what it is. Drop over to the Dog House for a visit and support us.
Next time you have a carb fire like that, keep cranking the engine, it will suck the flames into the engine and put your fire out for you.
Way to shrug it off, Ben. Wish I was closer, I’d come help you guys out! You’ll get it though.
Another good video
you might have marked your timing after you pulled the distributor but if that car moves slightly while in gear you just threw off your timing and will have to find your number 1 cylinder TDC on compression stroke. I did this one time with my nova in neutral and it started rolling so I hopped in the car threw it in first gear not thinking went back and my timing was off. Just food for thought
I told you about those intake manifolds dork. Don't say i didn't warn you.
I love your videos! I had a 66 mustang in high school, and now have a 77 Camaro with a stroker motor and 4-speed. Always drop in a distributor on top dead center, but make sure it's on the compression stroke..Ask me how I know LOL
Most likely a head or an intake gasket. Q, have you ever thought of doing a fastback conversion? I think with that Bullitt green paint job it would be awesome.
Probably got coolant in it when you pulled the intake, just change it and try it
Nice, I was considering doing new intake and carb on my ride now, I am gonna leave the stock shit till winter lol
Just a tip get a torch and heat up an awl and solder with that instead
Cool video!
Im probably your dads age. But back in high school, a friend from New Port bch, had a '65. (289.., and it "was payed around with? .. Thus thing was quick!)
We would race on the 101, with other friends Wiley's Jeep. (The jeep had a 327, muncy 4 speed)
....i was scared in either car?I
I’m getting a 66 with a straight six lmao I can’t wait for all the mess ups ima do 😂
I would advise you to take a basic automotive course it will prove invaluable .Also careful on the stiff return springs as they will prematurely wear out the throttle shaft bushings on the carb.
Ask Grandpa for some auto 101 classes....haha!
Should grab ya some gt40 heads to go with it ..easy 50 hp
No TH-cam classic car fix-it-up vid would be complete without a carb fire. Just how is it, LOL. Did you buy grandpa a beer BTW?
Go Grampa he saved the day! : ) more vids pls
Had a 70 F100 I made a similar throttle linkage, cept I stole it from work where I fixed Navy airplanes. Was free to me but at gov't cost....lol.
ive read alot of reviews on intake manifolds for your car i have a 65 also they say these ones never seat right something in the casting to the point of re plaining it or getting a new one
I’ve been there. I had the gasket leak on my motor and it filled the first cylinder and hydro locked the engine. It bent 2 push rods and snapped a rocker stud.
Reminds me of my 73’ 302 ranchero, i spend half the time i owned the car with my head on that barbeque under the hood:) Old cars are junk man, but new cars bore me to death so what are you gonna do.
I remember when my ‘75 Mustang carb caught fire. Wound up replacing the carb, but did something wrong, and my whole engine wound up exploding. 🤷♂️
That oil leak on that clean cement hurt my soul..
Awesome video, love your editing style. Sorry if this has been asked/addressed before in another video, but what wheels are those? I absolutely LOVE them!
Timing issue Brother. I'm sure you will figure it out :)
Hope you learned from Grandpa how to set timing and find TDC so you can do it next time.
Just run the electric choke to the key hot to the back of alternator
The stang 👍
Frustrating! I've been battling with my new carb on my 67 3.3L for a while but should get it running this weekend. Really want to get it back on the road!
If that's one of those made in China Weiand intakes good luck trying to get it to seal correctly. LOL.
i think he took the distributor out and he had it on over lap
Respect!
hope it's just an intake and not a head gasket. or worse.
Beef it up just a little bit 😉
