- This Camper Special was parked for many years with a running issue that stumped its owners. They even had the 352 completely rebuilt in the process.
Here's how we got her running and nailed down the elusive gremlin. Plus a little Plan Z.

Believe it or not but that's the best that trucks ran in over 10 years.. im so stoked. You are the man UTG...
We watching out in regina sask Canada..nice truck! Probably awesome feeling to hear it run like that!
You know it's the definition of sketchy if Uncle Kathy won't ride in it.
You say "seems like it may have brakes", and then seemed surprised that Kathy refuses to get in. LOL
Oh man, the neighbors are gonna love you moving in....
It's a business district. I'm sure UT isn't the only automotive and/or race shop that's leased a unit there. Unless you're talking about residents nearby, lol.
Flipping A
Saw that to.... At 0.44, and 01;03. HAHAHA!
I wish he was my Nieghber
If you do a squirt bottle for merch, make sure you label it 'Cigarette Extinguisher"
I want one immediately!
@@rogerstern2542 Why? Tony's already shown that gasoline is effective at putting out cigarettes.
id buy one
Yep i want one
Take my damn money
I love uncle Tony’s channel and I like Mopar but I’m a Ford guy by heart, and when I saw uncle Tony working on something my neck of the woods I couldn’t of been anymore excited!!
Ok that slant 6 moves out shocking quick even without traction lol
Watching Tony and Lee remind me of a Bill Engval bit... "My dad used to smoke while putting gas in the car, apparently in 1969 gasoline wasn't flammable."... "Here's your sign Lee!!!
Inches from his face! I laughed cause it reminded me of my old shop boss!
As soon as I seen Lee putting gas in the truck my first thought was are him and uncle Tony related 😂
@@tramr3203 I'm pretty sure a cigarette ember isn't hot enough to ignite the gas, also when you let an unlit butane lighter spray on it, the cigarette wants to go out. Now, an open flame like a LIT butane lighter will set the gas on fire just fine.
throw a cigarette in a puddle or gas it goes out
@@scooterdogg7580 A cigarette doesn't have the BTU's to ignite liquid gasoline but it DOES have the BTU's to ignite gasoline fumes/vapor.
A close friend once opened the fuel cap on a semi that had been running while he was smoking. Turns out that tank had a stuck vent. A fairly common occurrence on big diesel trucks when run low on fuel. My friend needed several skin grafts.
It doesn't matter how many times you get away with a bad idea, its still a bad idea.
I am into mid 80s to mid 2000s Mercedes AMG cars, I will probably never own one of the vehicles Uncle Tony works on. But I still love watching his content due to his passion for the vehicles he enjoys and his wealth of knowledge and experience. keep making great content UT
Nice taste... One of my high school friend's dad bought an '03 S55 brand new. That thing had some serious pull for a huge boat. We "borrowed" the keys late one night and took it to the street races where it embarrassed a Mustang Cobra, a tuned 300ZX and RX7 as well couple built musclecars. The car was so new most people didn't even know what it was and couldn't believe that it was factory supercharged with nearly 500 hp.
@@rustyjeep2469 i actually have a 2001 S55 AMG, the naturally aspirated 350 HP engine. I want one of the 2003 - 2006 ones you drove with that insane engine. I also have a 2001 E55 AMG,a 2002 E55 AMG, and a 1999 SL500 w/ AMG sports package. All of em black on black. Yes my neighbors think I am a drug dealer.
@@SeamHead33 you never know you could always do an AMG drivetrain swap into an older hot rod car like a Duster or a valiant some off-the-wall car it would be kind of a cool idea have you seen the one where the dude did the SL55 chassis under a Gullwing replica
i have a 1984 500sec coupe with 90s amg oz rally rims and sopme other smg parts. just putting the engine back into it now.
Money pits!
Have learned this the hard way in the Costco gas station when we nearly burned down the Bronco ... NO Aftermarket Starter Relays in FORDs - ever. Only Motorcraft new or from a junk yard. All the Chinese parts, even name brand, will weld the points and run-on ...
I have had the same problem. Junk
I had to back the vid up to see where the smoke was coming from...this thing smokes more than Uncle Tony.
I grew up in Hawaii... the only way to describe how that thing sounds is gnarly! Never in my life have I heard a slant six sound like that. Awesome stuff.
Its a Ford V8 not a slant six, a slant six would be running better.
@@tedjones450 Ted. Ted. Be cool. Rusty is saying he digs the Vs, Man. He's digging the Vs. Chill. Aloha.
@@stuckinmygarage6220 No issues, just saying he thought it was a slant 6 that all. JUst trying to help the guy out, that's all.
@@tedjones450 he's referring to the Dart at the beginning of the video
Is it just me or does the ole boy in the cowboy hat have the eternal cigarette? Love it.
That's why I've named him "Marlboro Man" it's the cig and the Stetson hat!
Yea he has it while pumping gas too (well pouring from a jerry can bit still, bad idea in my opinion from the shit i have seen.
@@hendo337 sometimes it does sometimes not, i have seen irl
"Marlboro man" that hat is classic! And in great shape too! I know grandpa is proud you wear it!
@@djer15 you've not seen much then.. cigarettes cannot light gasoline
God so old school now days we youse plastic bags not squirt bottles to carry gas😎😎😎
Haha
Gosh, you less old people using plastic bags, so bad for the environement, i only use paper bags like the ones you get groceries in and they break open tear and fall everywheres. Shake my head you old people always hurting the planet LOL
Deja Vu! Bought a 1969 AMC AMX in Feb 2020 that has the MSD 6A ignition. Half way from TX to PA after buying it I experienced the engine running after the key was turned off. Did what MSD said - diode first, didn't fix it, double ballast resistor second, didn't fix it. After tracing wiring and checking voltage, found my own starter solenoid sticking on (not to crank the starter, but to retain power to the Ignition post on the solenoid! A tap on it like Uncle Tony did and I went to zero volts. Put a new solenoid on, no more engine run-on! I love these videos, I am learning a lot. I appreciate Uncle Tony and others sharing their experiences and knowledge!
Plan Z hauls the mail!
She is responsive and snappy! Cant wait for the "tire fairy" to deliver her some new shoes!
That’s Exactly !
Love it uncle tony! My dad had a long box like that truck back in the 1960's. He worked for a courier service. Glad you figured out the weird running issue! At least it is nothing serious!
First love will always be Mopar. But staring to become a fan of anything made in Detroit from the 60’s to the 80’s
Dam! Plan z sounds sweet! And it scoots! Very cool!
Dammit Uncle Tony you're making me nervous with that unshrouded Flex Fan spinning right near your elbow! Oh well, that's Hot Roddin'
lotsa stuff i see makes me cringe. and i don't even run a pro shop that would "exhibit the exit"
ROLL UP YOUR CIGARETTE!!! LOL GREAT VIDEO UTG!!!👍 HELLO ULTRA KATHY!!!
Hey Lee, are you smokin' Marlboros?😉😂😂 Plan Z sound great!
Looks like them squirrels got in that dash and did a number on them wires.😉
Lil slant sounds rowdy!!! Love the ford truck
I’ve seen that before but can’t remember the fix👍 keep us updated on the repair
I have a new ignition switch with key. I'll bring it by in the morning. I also have the window cranks and door handle. I'll bring it to you in the morning
Austin, I think the problem may be that the Ford ignition sends 12V to the coil when cranking but only 8V +/- through the resistor wire when the switch is in the run position. If your MSD distributor is like mine, it requires the full 12V to function properly. Try a jumper wire before throwing that new switch to see if it makes a difference. Nice truck, though.
Or toss a Ford yellowtop coil in it, FE with .035” gap runs great up to 6-6.5k with them, higher if it hasn’t been cooked with 12v by not running a resistor wire.
That Little slant sounds badass makes me want to build one even more
Id like to see a Dakota truck build useing a slant six.
My 66 Camper Special runs and sounds beautiful. My 4 yr old danced to the idle when I pulled the exhaust off it. Glad you got that one running.
It's a stick shift truck . You don't need breaks on a stick shift . I did it in an automatic , but it's not wise . Glad to see plan z moving .
It’s got breaks, look at the wiring!
I've got a special place in my heart for the sound of a wicked up I6. Doesn't matter if it's a Cummins, Leaning Tower, Chebbie 250, etc... They all sound like small aircraft when on the grind and that's cool. :)
Yeah, I love my Jeep. 4dr Cherokee, 4.0L, sounds like a very pissed off lion above 3000rpm.
Yeah check out some ford 300 straight pipe vids.
Or the 300 turbo vids , holy crap they make diesellike torque.
I'm a sipmle man, I see nice old mopars going fast, I hit the like button.
It's so fun watching all this happening in the new shop :D
+1 for the Slickside F250. Those trucks are truly awesome. The 67-72's are really where its at though!
I Love the Old Amway bottle
I’m glad we got that out-of-the-way.
I was waiting for that fan blade to zing him!
Good work Tony!
Fordification... your number one source for online wiring diagrams and technical drawings for Ford pickup trucks. Been there. Done that... downloaded the PDFs, and have copies of every single one in my library. It's a Ford. It's the ground wire. It's always the ground wire... It's a Ford!
THE LAST TIME I CAME THIS EARLY, MY WIFE LEFT ME,,,
hELL YEAH BROTHER WE DONT NEED NO ABS PLASTIC SHIT WE DIE LIKE REAL MEN!!
USMC 1967-1972
FORKLIFT CERTIFIED 1972
Please tell me this is a troll account. With a name like king wewuz (kek) it can't be a boomer, right?
It's scary because boomers actually talk like this.
ikr: lift truck cert. ...
My bad on the thumbs down. I got big fingers on little screen!
@@evanc6110 lol, I'm genx and I know boomers who are savages
I'm also in a car club where everyone acts like boomers. Favorite facebook group
Ultra Kathy does good work shooting these videos and with editing.👍
Kathy is super important to this channel. She does great work.
@@johnwilburn Yes John I agree 100% Ultra Kathy is great and supper important to this channel 👍
Love watching you work Tony. Summed up with on word: Fearless. Troubleshoot. don't panic. Just love this stuff man. Keep up the good work.
Cracking up reading some of the nervous nelly comments about taking the Dart out for a blast down the road..and Uncle Tony talking to much...uhm, does it say Uncle Tonys Safety First Instructional Channel?
He should start his videos like Waylon Wire old iron does, " don't do anything you see us do here". LOL!!!
to answer your blurb at the meat n greet, it looks like plan z does indeed go as fast as it sounds :)
Tony I really enjoy watching you work. You are a genius sir
That is only the third time I have seen this happen. Congrats on resuscitating the old girl!
UTG is my favorite tv show of all time.
I love the slant 6 race car!!! looks quick moving down the road...
Thankyou tony for another badass video
I was waiting on that old Ford to backfire thru the carb...and bye bye gas squirt bottle..
🤘🏼MORE PLAN Z DART!! 🤘🏼 watching that run made my day, she is STOUT!
Please, please Uncle Tony, you gotta make those gas squirty bottles a merch item. They will become a world wide hit, even countries governments will buy them. Hell, you will be even able to retire early!
What even is retiring for tony? More of the same?
Love this. So many good memories with my old Fords.
Glad you figured it out and I truly enjoy learning things like this cause you just never know if ya run into that situation .so till next vid godbless and stay safe
Primer dart was fun to watch. Hope his other blue one and this one get some track runs without breakdowns .Getting trail tests is is best chance at that
I recently had a 65 f100 in 2019 I eventually sold when I realized my crownvic chassis and motor swap was out of my budget range at that time and then covid hit. Lol 😆 I still have my late grandpas 1965 mustang to rebuild one day. Me and my father plan to begin work on it again soon
Hay Uncel Tony you just got the intro to all your videos with plan z at the first of this video cool man 😎👍 then you say it's time for Uncel Tony's Garage.👍 Then end your videos with roll up your windows see you tomorrow 👍
Hope you make more videos on it. That thing is super cool. Would love to see you take it for a spin
Something about old carbed engines that bring warmth to my soul.
My first truck was a 65 F 250, did a lot of work on her to keep it goin'. Now I'm drivin' a 21 Tundra, went from Flintstones to Jetsons and it only took 45 years
uncle tony is the man
65 Ford 352. Love them old ones!!
I gots me a 67 f100 352. Love it
Best quote ever, "It seems like it may have brakes". Love it!!!
10.56, is that guy filling into the fuel tank with a cigarette in his mouth? Love it!
HEY TONY, check the torque converter snout for cracks. I pulled tranny 3 times on my 86 D100 /6 before I spotted it😭
That's the best sounding slant 6 I've ever heard.
I love the fact that you don’t run any plates old school rules👍👍👍
I don't blame you uncle Kathy. I don't get in sketchy fords either.
It’s good to see Uncle Tony coping with the gas shortage and running the six cylinder.
Buzzin half dozen!!! Love it!
Will you hang on Lee! Meanwhile lee quite's down for 2 seconds, then continues to make a bunch of racket... one day uncle Tony is gonna throw a wrench at him or worse... can't wait for that episode... lol
At the same time, it is nice to see someone hard at work trying to keep their job, like they want it....
@@hendo337 Hope I didn't offend you. I just meant you work harder than the people I see at my workplace....
Americans spent 10's of thousands of dollars developing a pen to work in space. Soviets give their astronauts a pencil, me I need a $4000 dollar scanner, $100 infra red camera to diag a miss, Tony spits on his thumb and touches the header pipes, priceless. Great vid UT and UK.
Pencil lead is graphite. Aluminum and graphite dont get along and the aluminum corrodes.
Graphite is also conductive and can float into the electrics and short it out.
Got any more great examples?
Don’t you feel dumb?
The FE is a thing of beauty. I'll have to bring my F100 390 FE by sometime when I can come up from FL.
Wow you're so smart I wish you could have fixed it for him though
The Plan Z Dart is an absolute beast. Love it!
I like how he goes to start it after hooking up the jump box without waiting for Tony to say OK. And I always disconnect the ground before power. If you use the ignition switch to trigger a relay you will get less hinky operation as it ages.
Kat is game but apparently not THAT game!! That "Might have brakes" was too much. Gave me a good laugh. That looks like a pretty solid old truck. Some work will make a nice one.
Tony worked on several vehicles that acted identical to what you were fighting with. Every time it turned out to be a failing condenser. What I do now is use a cheap E-bay Scope meter and look at the coil signal. Should be a nice clear squared up pulsed signal. Another I find is that someone before worked on the vehicle and got the polarity of the coil backwards.
Yay another mystery solved!!
But ugh, the plug wires from adjacent cylinders laying on each other at 90°... My OCD just hit 5th gear....
( Non-neat plug wires are probably biggest pet peeve )
Surely you wrote this prior to seeing where the instrument cluster used to reside.
Make them too neat and they can cross-talk.
@@joekurtz8303 damn, that makes *ME* hurt!
Worst I got bit was a strobe light power supply box. 720vdc ish, palm to elbow. Unhooked the power supply, went to lunch to let the capacitors bleed down, came back to it and got bit.
The "Marlboro Man" and Tony work well together!
Thats general lee
How you can tell a real mechanic from the boys very quickly? When his fingers are black with grease, oil and fuel....still licks them and checks the temperature of the header pipes 😁🤣 I love this channel 😁
Plan Z.....HELL YES
Would have loved to see a walk around of that ol beauty of a truck
Find your pink wire under the dash. . Mice ate mine and caused a very similar problem. The resistor wire was badly burned/melted. I was fortunate the car did not go up in flames.
I just put a 460 in my 78 bronco. First drive in 16 years! Had zero brakes helpful tip is to keep one tire with 9 psi so you can't roll!!!
Love the refueling from a gas can while smoking. At 20:11
Pure stupidity...
@@hendo337 just watch which way the wind blows.
Plan Z!!
Finally some Plan Z content for ya! Lol you must be ecstatic
I bet you came 10 seconds into this video....
@@johnwilburn lol
Hey Tony watch the beginning of this video again you had something dripping under man them slant sixes sound great through headers
Well I was kind of thinking ballast resistor because when you're starting at you bypass the ballast resistor
Not with that wiring mess!
Love those old Trucks.
Plan Z lives!
And sounds really good, Uncle Tony!
Oh my,ready for crusher,not built ferd tough
Let's bend up the steel fuel line,proceeds to install a black rubber hose. Guy is a hack
If Tony ain’t got a smoke hanging out his mouth lee does, lol.
Sad that Tony’s sidekick didn’t wear a cowboy hat today. That’s like his logo at this point is a cowboy hat running around the shop like he’s on fire lol
@@hendo337 😂😂😂 good stuff and glad you responded. It’s good to see Tony has a second set of hands now 👍🏻
My favorite truck I actually own six of theses 3 are tow trucks rest are pickups all are drivers but that ignition switch is always a issue just replaced one in my 1965 F600 wrecker
having owned a 65 Mercury (M100) along with quite a few other vehicles with a FE series engine I enjoyed this one a lot. I don't have to tell you that when they are dialed in...wow hang on! (not the 352 as much) These series of engines were what the Mopar & Ford drag wars were all about in the 60's and early 70's. FE's and 426's all day long laying rubber at the local drag strip!
Would love to have an old truck like that!
When Uncle Tony shows off, magic happens!
That...is one pissed off sewing machine
Well done tony
That was my first vehicle, 1965 with a 352/ 4speed and I paid 250.00 and drove it for years. I sure miss it.
That ol truck is bad ass and the plan z rips I think its worthy of an e85 carb and about 175 shot
My son's 71 had same issue. It was in the ignition switch. Cheap fix
Wonder what the deal is with the ford trucks and the starter solenoids sticking.. Both my 89 and 91 f150 did that. Had to switch back to OEM motorcraft part because all the aftermarket ones did just that. kept cranking and cranking
This truck is the best thing you have ever presented. Spent all afternoon trying to troubleshoot my nearly new electronic oil pressure gage. Still reads 86 psi. Any suggestions
Could be right!
The Gold valve covers are correct for 65, the Block and heads would have been painted Black, 65 was the First year for the FE in the Trucks, 64 and down was a 292 Y block.
I have had a whole slew of Slicks in the past 15 years. still have a 62 Uni, 65 4x4 F260. 64 with a 4.6 5 speed < short bed, 65 F100
