In 2020 I was hit by a truck that had turned left on red while riding my motorcycle home. Had to get a lawyer even though the other person admitted fault. Insurance claimed I was automatically 50 percent at fault because “motorcycles are hard to see”. They also claimed my motorcycle wasn’t worth anything despite being in near perfect condition before the accident. They ended up giving me my bik...

Nice job, is your coil 1.5 Ohms across the top posts ?
Where would one look to get a hold of a 12 volt coil on the cheep side/ what was yours off of?
Thanks for the information, do you have a source for the thick gasket. I can only find a thinner felt gasket.
Everything was good with this video. UNTIL I realized I have a shifter cable still attached to end of column. This video is for standard transmission. Just be aware.
Do you know if the transmission is the M5OD or the ZF5. Considering swapping my 85 f150
This was the m50d but I have swapped the zf5 into a short bed f150 of the same vintage.
Was the process mostly the same or are there some differences to look out for. I was thinking about the Mazda tranny but I’d rather have a stronger ZF5.
@@gamer-gaming-chair8198 the only issue I ran into with the zf5 was the clearance between it and the forward gas tank on my short bed. The speedometer cable interfered and caused It to flex at an extreme angle. It failed shortly o After. I routed a new cable differently and it held up fine afterwards. Otherwise the same process. Redrill holes for the cross member, connect the clutch. Out the shifter in and figure out driveshafts.
@@junkinjames6345 thanks, I might swap it one day, but till then it’ll do
Great explanation
That big bumper to small bumper modification was sheer genius! Now I know what to do if I end up buying a big bumper car. Mavericks are hard to find here in Mississippi.
I have an old Dixon and I love it!
Hi ? The connection it will fit in can be from automatic transmission to standard
This actually helped a lot I'm doing a tilt column swap on my 94 f150 tomorrow
Doing this on my Ranger currently!
Did you not need to install a resistor to keep from burning up the points?
Depends on your coil. Some are internally resisted. Others are externally. Have to read the coil to find out. But technically the higher voltage will shorten the life of them but I've used them for countless hours this way and haven't had an issue. Same with the starter. Won't last forever on 12 volts but will last many years none the less
I would like to see the EFI intake with a carburetor on the dyno top please. That EFI intake has great looking long runners. Ought to make great midrange,.
Used to do that years ago in Wichita, KS when I worked for TWA. We had to tow aircraft on and off the single gate we had, often. I would motor the engine on the DC-9's we'd get in to scare the hell out of my coworkers thinking I was going to light it off. LOL
that was a lot of help thanks 👊
Still using that carb? I just got mine today hoping it will last till i fix my holley 4412
Yep, still running the cheap 2 barrel
That’s typical restoration project here in the UK wish it was mine
Good video, but in my days during dry runs, or full start, N2 would be monitored, instead of N1, as N2 is what the started turns, while N1 up to that is just going along for the ride. Hopefully that airplane is still airworthy and flying.
It's been used for training and unairworthy since the late 1990's. Thanks for the info. I was never trained on turbine engines and was more or less self taught on this process through reading the manuals and help from several people who had done it before
Do you need a frame? I got one, just let me know
What bulb are you using for a charging indicator lamp? You need about 1 amp to excite the alternator.

Me looking for my tilt switch for two years…. 😑
What year was this aircraft built?
It's a late 1960's model. I believe 67 but could be wrong. it's been awhile since I looked
Where coil wires go
Hi, the video shows where to put the coil wires. You'll have one coleing from the battery to the coil and one coming from the coil to your points to open and close the contelact. If you currently have a positive ground system and are swapping to negative ground, simply swap the wires on the positive and negative studs of the coil. Positive being battery power and negative being the points on a 12volt negative earth system.
I see a 60s style Altered build there, with a 16 71 blower, injection atop a ZZ632 Chevy, Lenco, tube frame, FAB9 rear end and so forth.
May I suggest, a heat shield between the exhaust manifold and gas tank. I'm sure it does some good, noticed one that almost looks factory made in another video. But heat is not a friend of gasoline. Enjoying my TO 30 in NE Ohio for over thirty years now. Thee, best investment of my life. Sporting a front bumper fabricated somewhere between 1992 and 2002. A twelve volt system and last year, had to put a clutch in. Running the same tires that where on it when I got it.
Sir, I like your front brush guard and ball mount. Had one on a buddies tractor, and had two made for me and another buddies tractor. Mine being a TO 30, and my other buddie, I believe is a TO20. What a life savor for any tractor.
Hi! Ist she still airworthy?
Unfortunately no. However a new group of students has been investing a lot of time and money getting it as close as possible to an airworthy aircraft again.
Good walk through. If buying an alternator, look for the "mini hotrod' Denso model since it tucks in the engine bay better. Some of the GM truck big alternators and bracket/belt situation puts the alternator case out where the steering arm will bang/break the case when going through rough terrain.
Did you ever get the motor running again? Part 2 still pending?
Unfortunately no. A family member was restoring a similar Willy's. I ended up selling the jeep to them To help finish their project. Willy's parts have become scare locally. I never ended up finding what I needed available to move on. Once the restoration is done I may see about getting just the engine back to see about following through with getting it running
awesome didnt see the valves moven tho
I have an Oliver 550 taht was converted prior to me buying it. The coil is hooked up on the coil + to the distributor. Should I look at switching it around?
Id say if it's running how it is I wouldnt mess with it. Unless the wiring is a mess and needs repaired or you are having no start issues.
@@junkinjames6345 thanks man. My most recent problem is it will run for a few minutes and then cut off. No spark for a few minutes and then start and run for 2-3 minutes.
@@bryanduke2144 after some online research go ahead and swap those leads around and see what happens. Apparently it will run either way but you'll get less effective spark if hooked up backwards and could damage the coil according to some
@@junkinjames6345 Thank you.
thank you i enjoyed.
Your memory of WD 40 being flammable is mistaken my friend. Back about the time that the Willies that you are working on was built, the Acme company was contracted by the U.S. government to develop a formula to displace water that was non corrosive, non flammable and non conductive to chase moisture from electrical fittings. That is, why by the way, you can spray it into a wet distributor cap to get the motor started. Since the compound that we all know and love was the 40th attempt to fulfill the contract, it was called WD (water displacement)40, or WD40 today. It was never designed as a penetrant or for rust repair. Isn't it nice though that that we can ridicule it for something that it was never meant to be.
If you go on wd40s website it literally says it penetrates stuck parts. Directly from the website it says ..... Although wd 40 stands for water displacement ......it contains a special blend of lubricant for anti corrosion and penetration. I hate to burst your bubble but if you look up the msds of wd40 it warms its extremely flammable. It also lists it's flash point or ignition temp as 268 degrees. Meaning. Yes it is flammable.
I just watched a video where they reseated a tire bead like you do with a can of starting fluid and a match but they used a can of WD 40. Gotta admit that I was surprised to see it is that flammable...
Wow ford and Chrysler together man you really made the worst vehicle ever 😂
Thanks! I appreciate the kind words
Nice bronco thank you for the video I'm working on my 1975 f250 I paid 50 for the title got the truck for free and told the guy seeing how it's a running truck I would give him 50 for the title he didn't want the money
My to20 has already been converted. It has a separate resister from the ignition to the coil. Do I need it or can remove it?
That depends on your coil. Some are internally resisted. Some are external. If your paint isn't worn off, your coil will tell you if you need it or not. The fact that it's installed means you probably do. But you never know what someone else has done
You are close to a 1000 sub´s, and then being able to get paid for posting...but we can´t wait a year for part 2 to show up ;-)
I hate that I haven't posted in quite a while. New job new house, owning a business, life's been busy but I do have several videos in the works. I just need the time to finish them. The jeep took a turn and the ending is not what anyone would expect.
@@junkinjames6345 Life it self sometimes works the mysterious way´s 🙂 Looking forward to the next posting. Congrat´s on a new job and house 🙂
Awesome! Step by step. Now I need to find one for a John Deere B. I think Rachel has one.
Did yiu take off ignition switch that is on the columbn nut the ignition key switch,ty.
If your donor column has a good ignition switch you don't need to swap it. I did swap the key switch so my keys would match the truck.
@@junkinjames6345 no, i meant the "ignition switch" that the actuator rod hoes into. Its called a slide swith. It sets on top of steering column...
@@JoseLopez-tb5mk yes that's what I'm referring to. No need to swap it if your donor column has a good one. I left them alone and just swapped the key switch.
So the original starter will operate at 12V without any problems then? It's only a matter of having and alternator and 12V coil?
Original starter will work fine on 12v. It will spin much faster than stock. Keeping the started engaged for long periods of time may cause damage. Overall lifespan of the starter might be shortened as well. However, if you have a well tuned tractor that starts easily your starter will last years on 12volt.
@@junkinjames6345 okay, what about reversing the polarity of the tractor? If it was positive ground and now you make it negative ground, wont the starter run in reverse?
@@ben91069 it will not. No worries there. Just 12v to cable on starter and ground through starter casing. It'll work as it should
man when we getting part 2
That was so much fun to watch. I have done this 40 times on Vintage British cars and it is exactly the same. You did great work on this and showed how easy it is. One can "clock" the back the the alt to make better access to the 1 2 pins but you also showing the way the pulley can switch. Super sweet work and you did it simply. I had several 1 wire alts and switched them to 3 wire to have the lamp and a way to use a resister & diode. So nice to go from 6 to 12. You have those super thick battery cables as 6v needs that. Anyway! Thanks for posting this. Bobby
Thank you so much for the positive feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed!
Do you feel with this change (original carb to motorcraft 2 barrel) that the car run faster, run with more hp and torque or What would be the benefit you felt when making this change? thanks
In all honesty we did this to see if we could. Also we weren't having any luck finding a reliable aftermarket 1 barrel carb however I did have good luck with the 2100's in the past. It also made it that much easier to swap on a 2 barrel intake in the future for real power gains if we ever save up the money for it.
One question, can you use one from an automatic in a manual truck
You could, but you would have the automatic shifter hanging from the column. Could be a pain if you don't leave it in park or nuetral. It won't let you turn the key all the way off. You can remove the shift arm from the column and go that way. I've done that in the past.
Amazing now my massey 44 special is running

Not sure if you noticed it but... There's a 3rd hole in your intake manifold(towards front of truck) that the spacer did not cover or line up with. Easily seen in the video. It is the exhaust feed to the old EGR. That's why it has black exhaust crud in it. If it is sitting there, half-exposed, do you not now have an active exhaust leak blowing out from under you carb spacer? I tapped mine and screwed an iron pipe plug into it to block off the exhaust when I deleted my EGR. Could this be some of the cause of your low-end torque loss? Just a thought.
We had previously deleted the EGR. There is no exhaust leak from that location nor vacuum leak.
Hey! Caught my eye. At 10:05 what type of Odyssey blocks do you have in your 24V battery pack? 🙂
Two of the cheapest batteries we could get from the local farm/auto battery supply place!
