Not my intention. You are the third person who mentioned that the vapor honing sounds like a commercial. Video was getting long and I figured assembly was the same steps as disassembly so I left it out. My bad. The vapor cab is a great tool and it's cheap to build. Definitely excited about it every time I use it. Just sharing info, sorry it came across as an informal.
Back in my younger years i worked as a mechanic for all my life. I was the one that rebuilt all the carbs. you just brought back many memories. The last 17 years was with ford dealership.
Sounds good for its age and sitting for 10 years. I drove it around my property hauling dirt and gravel for 3 years before parking it. I am glad you are going to put it back in service for your projects.
Okay, so now not only do I need a Mr. Cool, but also a vapor honing set-up! The carb looks/works great! And yep those bolts in the fuel pump are there for a reason! Fun video, Justin....
I loved to help work on cars before all of the electronic stuff. Watching you do those brought back lots of good memories for me. You do such awesome work.
Thoughts on Smokin Sally . The channel “ Keeping it Dutch “ great guy with family building an off the grid homestead . You should look in to his channel. Smokin Sally would really benafit his family . Appreciate everything you’ve done for Mark & others on your channel ! Keep it up !
Would have enjoyed watching a 'carb restoration', when are you posting it? How did you get the gunk out of the jets and passages? Where did you get the kit from? How much was it and did you encounter any problems? Not a bad video of 'cleaning a cruddy old carb body with my homemade water hone'
Crone valve covers and a Holly sticker on the core support under the hood was was like adding a hundred shot system back in the day. If you had stock exhaust manifolds, a Hooker headers Sticker would still net you 5 HP. Then you had to have Edelbrock and an MSD stickers to round out the basic set. Haaa! There’s always the ones who should have just kept it real and slapped a JC Whiney sticker on there n been done with it. Lol!
Before someone sees this video and ruins an expensive carburetor, the below is from my experience and tips I have picked up over the years... Always mark the throttle plates. They are usually fitted with the sides beveled so they can close tightly without sticking. I was also taught to never, ever, sandblast the internals of a carburetor, wet or otherwise. My behind still smarts from the @55 chewing I got for doing that at a mechanics job several years ago. However, the carb it was done to here is not a good high dollar unit, so I can understand why it was done that way. It sure did look nice when it was finished!
Back in the late 60s and into the 70s we made our cars and trucks faster by flipping the lis on the air cleaner and installing dual glass pack mufflers.
I had to get a couple of vaporizers because the humidity inside my house dropped so low the old ship lap paneling started shrinking and making gaps at the edges. Stay warm Sith. (Fellow South Plains dweller)
So, not really a video on rebuild, more of an infomercial on vapor blasting....

Stupid cardboard eaters. They're all junk! But you did a badass job restoring this one Justin!

Abom79 calls the adjustable wrench an “all 16ths”
Now, if you could just fit the rest of that old Ford in the vapor honing cabinet... That would be a neat trick! Nice job Justin!
You can also paint the car red or give it racing strips. Both proven methods to add 50hp
Excellent point!
I love the rebuild/restore videos. You are, no doubt, the most professional restoration videographer I have seen!

Looks better than when I do it on the ground of the driveway with a torch and hammer. :-)
The right tool for the job, is the tool you have in your hand.
I like to use a welding tip cleaner for cleaning out the passages. That turn out nice Justin

If you would have put the Chrome valve covers on it would have started on the 1st time great video
Hello sir I like your job thanks
Thanks for the new vid!!
good video
Love from india
You need to build another ultrasonic to clean carbs
Definitely in the works!
@@TheGoodoftheLand I can't imagine not having a ultrasonic cleaner now I run mine daily
LOL "we used chrome valve covers".
Haven't seen to many carb rebuilds involving archaeology.
Eh putty knife should do the trick... alright carb hammer it is
Ah the old “ show chrome go fasters”
Sweet bro I tweeted you out
Any updates or progress with your kayak power pack project?
When you have green, hard build-ups inside, any idea how to remove?
Yep we used chrome, But you forgot to remind them "Chrome don't get you home".... As my Dad always told me..
Gotta love Mud dobber nests: NOT
F humidity. I love my 10% humidity pretty much year round in the South Plains part of Texas. You east Texas people take a shower just to dry off.

What's all that stuff that's being chiseled off the side of the carb?
I looked down the “Show more” tab for the video you said you would leave a shortcut to but nothing about a self-build blast cabinet?
Sorry, I added the link.

I had no idea carbs were carved from stone.
@The Good of the Land what kind of media blaster are you using? I've not seen a set up that uses a liquid propellant before.
He says it right in the video. And he links to it in the desription. Jeez....
Here you go!

@@fdl9656 I posted before he mentioned it...
Now, use an ultrasonic cleaner on that carb. Nothing is better!
Still waiting for that Mr Cool giveaway to happen....
Stupid TH-cam doesn't notify anyone. Here you go brother.

Justin, I assume the carb is Aluminium, does vapour blasting not leave a porous surface?.......
And later Justin answers my question.
Is this a 10th century carburateur? :)
🔍👍
Waiting on the ram project
I ordered the steel last week!
I see your carb has a few bugs in it
HA!
Anyone else read 'crab restoration'?
