This is a really great video to help your understanding of a old school tune up ..I have a 72 f250 camper special and I do the same as you have done in this video as maintenance… I love mine in Phoenix as my daily driver ….

My friends dad had a 1970-71? f-150 a long time ago. He took me for a ride around 1980. It was in still in mint condition with manual steering and no AC. My father who was never a big fan of P/U trucks fell in love with it. He owned big Chrysler Newports and Imperial's yet this Ford impressed him, that says something. My dad was a Sargent and in charge of the motor pool in the Korean war. He had a world of knowledge about cars that was amazing. I always wanted to learn from him but he never had the patience or time. He took complete engines out and did everything for friends and family. You remind me of him with your deep knowledge. I just wish he had your demeanor. I would've learned so much from him. When I watch your videos, I picture him standing there telling me. I just turned 60 but I'm a kid again hearing my dad teach me the way I always wanted, Its hard to explain. Anyway thank you so much for taking the time and patience, Its priceless.
@@whattherust ok thanks. I have a 1970 Ford Ranger XLT I bought about 6 years ago to tinker with. It’s been at a guys garage for 4 of those. I asked him to get it running and to the point I could get it out and drive it and use it some. I’m going to get it and bring it back home so I was searching for some videos on the basics. This was super helpful. I know just enough to be dangerous 😆. Watched some of your other stuff, particularly the Ford trucks.
You have to do the slosh test... turn down the radio at low speed work the steering wheel back and forth listen how much fuel is sloshing back and forth giving you an idea how much fuel you have lol from the days of my youth in the 70s.
Nope I have had several gm square body Chevy trucks and we rocked the truck back and forth to see how much gas was in them since most of them have antisiphon fuel doors in filler neck.. and at the time I didn't know you could get a decent working sending unit new online...since the only two trucks that I had that had working gas gauges they were working when I acquired the trucks ..
looking at the valve covers i have to say this isnt the original motor in this truck..not a big deal.........that and being a 4bbl ...sounds like it was pinging a bit...but dam what a good truck
I had a kit put through my stock carb and now it has a flat spot, garage says it wont go away, why is that as it wants to stall when I touch the throttle. So annoying, is there a fix or New Carb?
One thing I saw in another video with one of these trucks was he pulled out the fuel float guage and cleaned the contacts that set within the tank (and replaced the float itself). Cleared the issue right up! th-cam.com/video/zJjIfxihHvE/w-d-xo.html it is about 2 minutes in if you're interested

I miss my 70 with a 390 great video thanks for sharing
great videos on the ford f 100 great work
Thank you! This was a great truck. I miss it.
Cool channel. It’s like Vice Grip Garage for us older guys.
Thanks. I am glad you like it.
You made this simple for someone who is just getting into carbureted trucks. Thank you!
You're welcome! I am happy that is helped you out.
Great tutorial on how to tune up an engine. Subscribed!!
Thank you for the support. I did make a mistake calling dwell the time the points are open. It is actually the time the points are closed.

@@SheratonParkFarms Good luck and reach out if you need anything.
Can we get a donut gasket for the exhaust lol my truck sounded like this drove me nuts lol
It was actually the manifold gaskets. They seemed to get worse each time I started it.
That dash looks awesome for being that old.
Nice old truck 👍👍
Good information, great channel.
Thanks!
Man that thing runs good what a great truck
When you take that Vacuum gauge off, do you put a cap over the spigot? Else you will have a vacuum leak there.
That's a nice truck,
Nice work all round
Your arm around that spinning fan blade makes me nervous.
I remember keeping a little gas in a gas can in my 71 F100. Got rid of it when I git the fuel gauge fixed.
What's up
Hi
You have to do the slosh test... turn down the radio at low speed work the steering wheel back and forth listen how much fuel is sloshing back and forth giving you an idea how much fuel you have lol from the days of my youth in the 70s.
So true!
Fix fuel gauge. Fool. Or get apiece of hose. Stick in tank. For a measuring tool. Ha ha
Nope I have had several gm square body Chevy trucks and we rocked the truck back and forth to see how much gas was in them since most of them have antisiphon fuel doors in filler neck.. and at the time I didn't know you could get a decent working sending unit new online...since the only two trucks that I had that had working gas gauges they were working when I acquired the trucks ..
And my daily driver had a cleaned and penetrate lubed sending unit from a junkyard donor truck and it worked....
Get rid of those points, do electronic ignition.
Best video yet.
Thanks! More are coming!
Waterpump sounds terrible
looking at the valve covers i have to say this isnt the original motor in this truck..not a big deal.........that and being a 4bbl ...sounds like it was pinging a bit...but dam what a good truck
Belo trabalho.
Seus vídeos são muito bons.
Gracias
Very good camera work framing ..who did it?
I had a kit put through my stock carb and now it has a flat spot, garage says it wont go away, why is that as it wants to stall when I touch the throttle. So annoying, is there a fix or New Carb?

mr. prague is the truck still for sell?
That one sold pretty fast.
How come after he set timing. He. Didnt lock distributor down.
One thing I saw in another video with one of these trucks was he pulled out the fuel float guage and cleaned the contacts that set within the tank (and replaced the float itself). Cleared the issue right up!
th-cam.com/video/zJjIfxihHvE/w-d-xo.html it is about 2 minutes in if you're interested
Thank you. That job is next.
👍
Gonna price this truck?
Yes. Just fixing a few more things, then I'll be putting it up for sale.
@@whattherust I sent my email to you awhile back,so you can contact me.
