I really miss having all those guages on the dash. Now, of course, it's all "tell tale" lights....or "idiot lights" as we know them more commonly. Back then, you could watch something fail gradually, and that was helpful because you could see a problem and fix it before it broke down completely. Nowadays, the light only comes on after it's too late to fix it yourself. 😅 Not that you could anyway, considering all the fancy computers running cars now. Plus, "gauge gazing" gave you something to do while you were driving....lol. Thanks for sharing! Very informative! 👍
Gauge gazing…..I don’t think I ever heard it called by that name before. I like it! I always called it eye candy. I agree 100%. Much better to see actual values than oops a light came on aaannddd your sunk now 🤪🙃
Old wiring is much fun, butts, spades, mysterious bundles of tape and two ignition boxes to keep you on your toes! By the way, the intake seems to say C5AE-9425-C, which corresponds to 1965, date code says 4M8 which is December 8th of 1964. Somebody swapped a 4bbl intake on that thing, certified hotrod!
Yes you are correct with the intake being swapped out! Very good eyes! That was swapped out 2 owners ago. Makes sense. You need all the power to move this thing when it’s loaded lol. Old wiring is so much fun indeed! 🤣
I had a 72 F100 and I think the only time I saw that ammeter move was when I lost my alternator belt. Thanks for posting, I learned a thing or two.
Great filming and editing, Swede! Quality work and I even learned a lot about gauges and senders.
