today on midnight auto we try to get this 1964 ford ranchero running after sitting since 1982 ....will this old ranchero have what it takes to run again?
I made sure it was clear... Off camera I did a compression test and 4 out of 6 cylinders only had about 30 psi of compression.... It was a former mail delivery vehicle so it had a lot of milage and idle hours on it is my guess... Thanks for watching!
@@Midnightautorepair Just busting your chops man. I've known L3 since he was born & been telling him for years that the pine trees are killing his cars.
Checked... It's only got 30 psi of compression on 4 out of 6 cylinders... And was a postal delivery vehicle at one point so we figure it may just be totally worn out too
Seemed so promising at first!! I couldn't even believe it turned over at all!!! 😅 glad you found yourself a happy place!! 🚘
Me too!!
Keep on keeping on till you find one.
Great. Car. Great. Shape
Like those old Ranchero's, might have a mouse nest in the exhaust

Like to see more on this one
I can give it another try sometime... And there a 60 ranchero in the same location so that may be a video on its own too! Thanks for watching!
@@Midnightautorepair That would be a good one to see. It looks like these older cars are better to work on. No electronics!
@@randyriggs5463 that's what I like too... Simple and mechanical!
He's looking for a 15/16 socket & didn't notice the huge Mac Tools truck in the background!
But alas it was just the empty remnants of one.... Plus every time I go on one of those trucks I end up with a tool bill😂😂😂

@@haroldstrickland8416 from what I've seen... Not so much the pine straw... But all the vinyl tops ruining the cars lol... And he's good people!
Exhaust plugged?
