Today my 1989 Ford F150 is back in the shop! I used to daily this truck until that fuel selector valve I had replaced failed. Thank you to Holley for helping me get this truck back up and running!

Amazing! Just signed up for my biz
Once you get the truck running and sorted out could you give us a list of parts with part #’s.
You and Kevin really need to stop talking about your sponsors at the beginning or the middle of your videos and start talking about your sponsors at the end of the videos like your supposed to do
You shouldn’t have needed the pressure regulator with that holly
I’m pretty sure you’re having the same problem I am
Bless you Mook for donating the hair. Our special needs daughter did this by her own decision. It brought smiles to our faces!
It also keeps Mook safe by preventing her hair from getting into moving drive belts.
The scariest thing I learned in high school shop class is what happens when you wear a tie while running a lathe
And the teachers Adam's apple bobbing off a part he was polishing

It's always a good day when Mook uploads a new video. Glad to see this truck back on the channel.
Same I've got a 91 f150 5.0 im fixing up to sell. Cool to watch how someone else repairs things on them vs how I do .
Congratulations on your engagement, Kevin is a lucky lad to have such a wonderful soulmate. Ps. good on you for thinking of the kids, you are such a treasure.🌷
When did they get engaged? Holy crap this is awesome 😃😃
Mook is just adorable. Kevin is a lucky man. Keep doing the thing, y’all!
Im glad to see this project again. The removal of the EFI system is a bigger project that I would have anticipated, but it’s something I was curious of how it was done.

Love the chemistry between y’all, it’s legit what I’m looking for. Also I see a couple times you got to play the classic mechanic game, “why am I bleeding?” Great video as always
I think it’s better than the welders game “why am I on fire”. I don’t like that game and oddly enough you get use to shit like that 🤔
I would highly recommend upgrading your alternator to the 3G version, the 2G are known to not charge very well. All you need is put some 3G plugs on your existing alternator wire and grind off a bit of the alternator bracket as the 3G one is a bit bigger, but it will bolt up once that is done. I did it myself and have had no troubles with it. It also opens up other upgrades like putting in a new radio or any other higher power draw upgrades you might think to do.
The 2G is known to start fires, in fact, the replacement wiring harness warns it can catch on fire so its best to get them off ASAP, I put a 3G on a 73 Econoline, learned they must use a serpentine belt tho, it will burn up a V-belt, must run at least 2 v-belts when using on a vintage engine.
@@Maples01 bingo 💯
@@brandonjohnston7746 I have a guy who builds mine, while you can find 200 amp 3G alternators on ebay, you will not find the guts to build one, they have been discontinued, which has me skeptical of what is sold online as a 200 amp 3G, I believe they just swap the pulley to spin them faster. I can tell you the durability of the 3G is like no other, my wheelchair cable, 2 gauge, fell on my exhaust, welding itself to it, boiled over my battery putting the alternator in over charge, I don't know how long it was like that, did not damage the alternator, won me over. I was going to put one on my 89 E150, but my shop guy told me it is not a 2G as it should be, its a special order large case found on RV's and Ambulances.
or just get a one wire GM style
@@Terminxman Not as many amps at idle as the 3G
So from working on these 2G alternators myself and digging through forums, I'll give yall some helpful info. If the battery is dead and you try jump the car, its known to fry the 2Gs. It's best to recharge the battery, not jump. Its often typical to change both the battery and alternator in THIS type of setup. They also only go as high as like 110 amps depending on the model, usually around 75 amps for most. That's why people generally recommend installing a 3G and upgrading the gauge of wire for the charging system circuit.
GOOD EPISODE! I learned quite a bit about installing aftermarket fuel injection from this video. In the mid 80's fuel injection was near magic and Edelbrock made one that gave Chev 350's a really solid kick in the pants. Again, back then FI was considered "near magic". Damn I'm a fossil!
i have a suzuki hatchback MPFI car back from 2003. runs great still.
I liked this video, detailed enough but not boring.
It's nice to see the future Mr. Mook lending a hand, even though we all know Mook's got this 😁
Ain’t no fun without a mook. The 11th commandment “thou shalt be a mook for every truck/car build”
A Junkyard Mook episode for my birthday! Thanks, It's great to see the teamwork. She's going to be a really sharp truck.
My birthday today too!!!
Happy birthday gentlemen
Oh look it's a Mook. Yay!
Y'all are so much fun to watch. It's no wonder why I've been a fan for 2 years now. I ordered merch 2 weeks ago. They're on their way..
Bugout list... food, water, mook done...
👊😎🥃
Been missing you, Mook! Great to see you on here again. You never fail to entertain even folk like me who are really not that ‘into’ motor mechanic stuff.
Very informative vid, I'm always interested in diagnosing electrical issues. Mook has ability and skill, essential for a mechanic. You guys make a great team, good stuff.
i did a similar upgrade on my 81. had a 302 with an 86 efi bank fired system like this one had. i put in a weiand stealth intake, holley sniper kit, billet speed fx hei distributor, and also full length hooker headers with thrush welded mufflers turned down before the rear end. perfect old-school sound in my opinion. and my truck used to have the crappy aod trans and i put in a 5-speed from a 92 flareside. the 302 was from a 94 mustang so it has the roller cam in it. talk about waking up a truck. been running great for the last 5 years while only having to replace the o2 sensor after the first 11 months. anyway, love the videos and the work Mook does on vehicles. oh, almost forgot, get rid of the oem oil pump shaft and go with an ARP pump shaft to save yourself the future trouble of twisting the oem shaft in half like i did from having a heavy foot lmao keep them videos coming :)
Mook and Kevin do a great job. Thank you both for everything you do!!! You're awesome!!!
Kevin, you have an old head on young shoulders. I could sit and listen and watch you and Mook until the cows come home. Your knowledge and explanation of these old cars is second to none, cheers.
So much goes into vehicles. Enjoyed, learned a lot.
Hell ya Mook! Let's go! But seriously, I enjoy this JYD channel more when Mook is involved, she's adorable!
Welcome back, Mook! Can't wait to see what you do with this thing! I absolutely love these trucks and want one!
I had an 88 XLT Lariat thad was blue and white but had the 300 straight six. Great truck.
That was a mud dauber nest. If you open it up it's full of zombie spiders. The mud dauber anesthetizes them so they stay alive but can't move. The larvae feed on them. There will be every kind of spider that lives in the area in there. Cool stuff. I thought you might like to know that since you like sliders, LOL!
I hate spiders, but Holy God of Chocolate, that's horrifying. I mean I just kill 'em, ZOMBIFY them and eat them alive? Wow, that's......nightmares for months for me.....😱😭
Those are dirt dauber nests. They are a cousin of the wasp but they don't sting at all. They are like the friendly version of the red wasp or paper wasp that do sting, so don't be afraid of them.
Also, congrats on you two getting engaged. I thought you were already married until I saw the video with him proposing to you. Congrats! You both make an excellent couple and your videos show your shared passion for the craft. I look forward to more videos from both of you! Love you both!!!!
It's great seeing you working on your truck once again Mook👍 I'm looking forward to seeing how this Holly system turns out, I know it'll be great when it's done 👍✌️🇺🇲
Hey Mook and Kevin 🖐, way cool to see Mook out in the garage on her truck. It's always good to family in the shop helping and having a good time. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good videos. Have a great weekend 👋
Really looking forward to the next episode. Love these old F150s. Had two myself.
I bought Hooker ceramic coated headers for my 95 351 project truck, would not clear the frame on passenger side, couldn't tighten them at all. Summit support was great, took them back and I tried Headman, those slipped right in from below without even needing to remove the starter. Sadly they didn't have a ceramic coated version.
Cool project you have going
Nice ride Mook can't wait to see it done and going down the road !!!
I love you Mook and Kevin, but let’s get back on that nova and get that thing on the road!😊
Wow Mookie really is still doing videos.
How cool!!
Mook thanks for sharing your video. Kevin is obviously a big help. And your not scared. Your one of the best duets on the tube. Got a little more to do. Thanks for sharing!
Y'all get along so good, I'm so glad y'all are getting married!
Thank you Kevin and Mook for what you taught me. I fixed my w/Washer when the line popped off
Kinda funny, I swear the only thing that works on my 1993 F150 IS the EFI system! AC? Nope... Heat? Sure, if you want the fan on full blast. Power windows? Eh, kinda? The drivers side window seems to want to fall into the door, rear gas tank leaks, front one is plastic so it should last another 30 years before turning to dust, and don't get me started on the rest of the truck, especially the oil gauge, which is just having a moment and flailing wildly around, it works when you're cruising but at idle the oil pressure is "AAAAAAAHHHHH!".
Oil pressure at idle is peak Mook
@@starkindustries26 Yes, yes it is haha!
i have an 88 f 150 with the same lame fi. i am rebuilding the top end and you inspired me to upgrade the fuel system. you might put a 3g upgrade on the alternator to put out 130 amps instead of 95.
I've had my '91 for three years. Still findin' wasp nests. Really excited about this swap as I'm thinking of something similar or a carb conversion!
Thank you mook. Your enthusiasm is what i needed. Love your vids. Keep up the super smiles and fun times
I love what you're doing to the truck replacing the wayyy outdated fuel system! This is exactly what I've been wanting to do to my 91 F250 with the 460🤠These 87-91 Ford trucks don't get as much attention as they often deserve...I can't wait to hear it run again!
I definitely agree. Hell, my dad actually has 3 ford trucks from that time frame (an 1987 Bronco, 1988 F450, and a 1990 F350) and all three are running
Welcome back Mook! Glad to see a vid from you again!
While in this case it did not work, it is always surprising how often whacking something with a hammer/pliers/chunk of wood can temporarily clear up an issue in older vehicles. My buddy had an old Rabbit with a dedicated starter-whacking board.
Hooray mooks back lol love that old ford truck content
Totally unrelated to the video, but I really hope you see this Mook.
Just found Junkyard Digs/ your channel today because of that suicidal CBR golf cart contraption (which is awesome) and saw the Cutlass detail video. You two are fantastic and I wish you both the best. Honestly that gave me a proposal idea for my own girlfriend so, thank you both for being awesome in the most wholesome of ways.
It's interesting to go from MPFI to TBI, I'd investigate into Megasquirt solutions. But anything better than stock is good
A lot of guys used to use RTV on top of the cork valve cover gasket (so it would adhere to the cover), and use grease on the side of the gasket facing the head (axle grease will seal in motor oil). This was to facilitate more convenient (and less messy) valve adjustments, as well as not needing to replace the gasket every single time.
It will be awesome to see this project get finished next year! =)
Congratulations on your engagement! Thank you for donating your hair! Great video!
IT'S good to see you back mook keep up the good work
Love your truck Mook, I imported an 87 F250 XLT LARIAT 460 into Australia, it’s wire with a red band and red trim too, I love the trim. I went with an 87 to avoid the prehistoric efi, I too have aftermarket efi, cam, manifold etc to fit to it, I’ve just fitted sniper to my 79 Vette, the Effie has atomic, I’ve had that before the sniper
Love the channel love those old ford trucks
Good to see the pickumup back in the garage!!
I have a truck with the exact same engine, i was wondering if you could post a parts list for this video
Hey its Junkyard Mook, with our host Junkyard Mook. Can't wait to see the update to this truck Junkyard Mook!!
Always wondered what "lettin the schmoo" out of a coil would be like.
Notification Squad Have a nice weekend!🔥🔥🔥
That seems like a nice, clean install. Most folks don't have a lift to raise the box. Great job guys.
Thank you Mook for your great content. If Kevin is going to keep outsourcing his hosting, he should totally outsource it to you, you make a great host, plus you work on cars and trucks. Great Job. 👍
Spectacular Team Work MOOK & Kevin ! Hopefully see more !
Nice work y'all. The old dist pickup also triggers the injector timing through the ICU on those years, if I recall correctly. Also controls dwell angle. Dwell got moved to the ECU with the black ICU modules.
Looking forward to updates on this undertaking. I feel the pains of EFI conversion. I bought a Holley commander 950 circa the mid 2000's. In the last 3 years I decided to redo things and do FiTech. It taught me A LOT about what a "bolt on and go" fuel injection system really demands from a vehicle.
I really like watching our channel It reminds me of my grandparents farm. It allways refreshing to watch
If I remember correctly a 4.0 90's Ford Explorer belt is the correct length for the air pump delete. (I had a 89 myself)
In those years there is a aluminum piece in the column that actuates the ignition switch that cracks and breaks causing them not to crank as it can't push the switch hard enough. Tilting the column up might temporarily help.
It is so entertaining watching you two work together. Love both of your channels!
Thanks MOOK for donating to the hair fund. You are an ANGEL. jb
okay i have the 91 version of this exact truck.... this alone helps me so damn much and just want to say YOU GO GIRL (talking to mook) pushing that truck by your self even a few inchs is a feat!!
Good to see you again good luck with the trucks see you soon
That's cool he helps her learn along the process! 💯💯
Mook, you wouldn't like this wasp monster! Driving, open window, a bug hits my mirror, explodes, into the open window onto me. No big deal, happened before, UNTIL I looked down, it's body was in two parts, both was the size of a nickel, it's head was like a monster from a movie! I freaked out, swerved, started hitting brakes. Even though it was not living no more, it was scary as HECK, on my lap n chest..
55:30 LOL love da "burly guy's hand there, and then a slender shapely miss's hand elegantly enters the picture" sequence there :D
Hey Mook, glad to see you and your brother working together, you make a good team. Kevin helping was a bonus 👍!!! Can’t wait to hear that classic run on its own. It’s going to sound awesome. Great video 😁
To be honest I wanted more carnage haha 🤪
Superduty bolt kit for the bed. Everything becomes accessible from above. Dorman 924311. You will have no regrets and they will work at least back to the 1973 model year with a slight modification to the width of the frame on the rear bolt only.
I love watching y’all together it’s always so much fun lol
I have an 87’ regular cab, with the exact same paint job. It’s the 300 inline six with a 4speed. Had to clean the fuel switching valve. It was pumping fuel from the front tank to the rear tank.
Regarding the factory bed mount bolts, one can use Torx head bolts and U-nuts in place of the original style shoulder bolts & nuts that are so prone to becoming one piece. I have done this with a couple of OBS truck beds and sourced my bolts & nuts from late '90s Rangers. Remember to also use a proper anti-seize compound when reinstalling the bed.
Future Mr. & Mrs. Mook are at it again. I love it!!
Had a 92 GMC same color up here in Ontario Canada 305 oil burner,but one reliable old beast for 1000 bills,steal.Great truck
That holley Satin black throttle body is Gorgeous against the gloss black valve covers @Junkyard Mook
Mook I always look forward to your videos. Your random corkiness is something that always makes my day
I am looking forward to the next video that is a very nice truck.
The shenanigans in your videos adds something special that is for sure.
I love it. "Dont replace the defective engine parts, just beat them with a hammer! That'll learn em!"
Mook looks so pretty doing the "outro" for the video, and happy too.
That’s a nice truck I’m glad you see
You back working on it again, can’t wait to hear it going again, also congrats to you and Kevin if you didn’t see it on his channel!
Each day brings a new beginning with new possibilities.
I like where this truck is heading. I like this era of F-150 extended cab.
When I rebuilt my 1988 broncos 302, I built it as an HO with a stock mustang roller cam, GT40 heads, explorer intake and a 95 gt computer.
That little spider on the right side is MINE! 😂🕸🕷
It is so good to hear you are on the mind, I think it is amazing you are a mechanic I have two daughters and I tried to "show" them a few things on my F150 1996 with that straight 6, i loved it have been looking for another, I sold mine years ago 😭. Take care of yourself Mook, and congrats on pending hitching. Bill
G3 Alternators are an easy mod and the regulators are on the outside for effortless removal (Cheap to replace as well). :)
That water jet/scream combo made me throw my phone across the floor😮
Good afternoon from Syracuse NY everyone
I had to check if it had been a year since part two. It was, and the first thing I saw was Mook with much longer hair. Way to help out the kids.
Mook fine after pushing drives it out lol 😆 loves the mookster xx
I put one of the FI Tech setups (when these bolt on efi setups had just come out) on my 302 Ford ranger and used a HEI dizzy setup and lit right off, made things so easy to wire.
You put a fuel pressure regulator on. So turn the key on and adjust the pressure. Check grounds and it has to have the vacuum hose. And drill the header and run a O2 sensor in.
It's always good to see Junkyard Dad™ and Junkyard Bro™ in a video 😊
Glad ya axed the smog pump . I have an 89 f350 that I've been thinking of doing the modern FI on , it's good to know I can scale the harness back alot
Love the late 80's early 90's F150. Have a 92 with just under 100k.
Looking forward to seeing this completed. Been wanting to update the EFI on my 95 150 5.8. Factory injection on these are so limited and restrict most bolt ons. Thanks for the content as always and glad to see ya back Mook. Oh, and congrats to the both of you on the engagement.
95 will have a roller cam, the two 95 5.8 I have had out lasted the bodies 95 Bronco 280k miles 95 E350 400k miles, both motors and transmissions live on in other vehicles.
Yeah I've had an 87 and a 94 F150 and anything before 96 is crap once they get miles on them. They can't really compensate for engine wear
