What is the second hose on the vacuum advance going to? Neither of mine are connected to anything.
That came out great
Thank you!
Alf my 66 is running hot engine is reading 225 my aluminum radiator is reading 115 , I’m about to take apart the engine therastat and go from there is there anything else I should look into ?
Sweet
Customer service is good with Petronix as well, I bought a new set of 8mm wires and 3 of them had no ohms reading, ( like you did with oil, I did with a meter) I called them and the guy in there customer service mailed me a new box of 8 ( I was asking for 3 to replace the dead ones) this was great for me because now I have 5 extra for any future needs.
Oh very cool!
Hey, I got a question. That’s really out of the transmition area. I just wanted to know why is my Mustang 1964 six running so hot after I put aluminum radiator and electrical fan the fan is facing out
Facing out? So its on the front of the outside of the radiator and not the engine bay side? How many CFM does it push? Is it a push fan or a pull fan? Did you set it up to push air in being on the outside? When does it get hot? Sitting in traffic at a light or while cruising?
I remember doing that in shop class in the 70s.
Oh awesome!
My distributor doesn't have springs just point & condesor. I do have same carb (1100). Problem is it stutters till I floor it/ higher RMP's any suggestions? Yazmin Venice Beach CA
I didn’t know ray romano worked on fords
I know! Usually he works on Chevys!
Or just turn it over.
Original paint? Wow… I’d like to know his secret.
Sometimes these cars get lucky having the right owners
Beautiful rig
Thank you!
The coolant holes will start off small at the engine front and get larger as they progress towards the rear of the engine. That’s the reason they must go on properly.
What size tires and wheels?
Good presentation of the things a guy needs to know.. thank heaven there was no stupid music..
Great video Alex! More importantly, you guys did amazing work on my car. Exceeded all expectations and were great to work with on this life-long dream project. Thanks for making my 66 a reality!
Thank you very much! I hope you're out putting some miles on this!
That's a nice color , love the black strips!
Thank you!
It needs a Windsor, IMO.
That's what she is getting.
Hey Alf the rod piece broke on my c4 but I don’t know the proper name so I can order it .its not the kick down rod it’s the other one in your 1966 c4 seal repair you pointed to it
The shift shaft that is in the trans or the shift rod that goes from the trans to the floor shifter?
It’s the transmission one that’s in the valve body also how many quarts will I need to fill it back and I thank you sooo much Alf for listening
@josemelis4153 I believe you can get them from National Parts Depot. It seems to me that it usually takes 5 quarts to fill them back up. Problem is you can only install 3 quarts at a time otherwise you puke out the overflow vent. You have to start with 3 quarts, start your engine in NEUTRAL and run it for 10 seconds to circulate and then add the 4th quart and then start your engine and check fluid while running to top off from there.
Wow your awsome and I love you videos ever time I look to do something to my stand I look threw all of yours again ty
@josemelis4153 you're very welcome, glad to hear they are helpful.
Hey! What about that blue truck in front of the Mustang? Looks pretty cool.
You noticed! It is pretty cool! 😁
Where does the negative wire from the alternator hook up to the block?
Typically goes to the same ground as the battery ground.
@@AlfsMustangGarage I gotta check out my set up I hace a three wire new alternator and it isn’t charging . I can’t find a place on my block to hook it up or screw on .
Bravo, Bravo, my man, that's a beautiful ride.
Thank you! We have a good team!
Cool stuff
Thank you!
They say inline 6 are great on gas mileage
Question so if you are doing this while it’s in the car will you have to drain the oil?
No, that crank seal is above the oil pan sump.
Amazing car Alex!! I really love the front seats he or she has in there. Would love to pick some up for my 67. Thanks for sharing this beauty with us.
Dude! The front seats are great! Tons of head room for me and I'm 6' tall. Those seats sit nice and low! I can't take all the credit though, I have a great team to help me with all these projects 😁
@@AlfsMustangGarage I am only 5'9 so I might have to have a cushion to sit on!! LOL Great Job guys!!!!
That car looks fantastic. What A/C system is in there? How do you like those TMI seats?
That's an "Old air products" ac system. I love the classic look of the evaporator and blower right in the middle. The TMI seats are fantastic! They sit low so even for me where I usually am almost toughing the headliner with my head, I have an extra 2" of head room. Car is very comfortable and fun to drive.
I will be reviewing every video when I do my 289 rebuild, fantastic detail, thanks.
Thank you! Make sure you buy the book too. You won't get everything out of these videos.
Thanks I have a different brand but mine didnt have a wiring diagram. All the diagrams ive seen have only 2 wires.
Good video. I agree with torque sequence and did the finger tighten with light run through with the ratchet. However the Permatex instructions said "Let dry for one hour then tighten to torque specifications." Did I miss this part of your instruction?
I have a 69 mustang grande- do you still suggest using no silicone for the gasket?
My speedo shivers and gets worse as I approach 60 and beyond. Cable and speedo are new. What are the chances the cable gear went bad?
The chances are slim. You should look into the drive gear if you have a manual trans, The auto transmission are machined into the output shaft.
Did you use the same power meter tester for the gage test? Or was it a different tool?
My speedometer and Odometer aren't working. Do you think it's this cable?
Excellent video. Very helpful and explained clearly.
Thank you!
What oil should I use??
Great detail Alf. Ive been working on Mustangs since I was 19, I'm 57 now. You have taught an old dog a lot of new tricks. Thanks for the details and patients in making these videos! I need the 4 port proportioning valve like the one in this video and cant find it any where. Do you know where i can purchase it?
Oh awesome! Thank you. Yes I have bought them from National Parts Depot before.
Not pictured, the migraine that is removing the bearing that's still stuck to the spindle
Umm, no those just slide off with the drums.
Grate Video!! The steering column should not be cut at a angle the lower steering column shaft bushing will not set straight. Thats not the fire wall seal. Thats the carpet trim ring for the steering column.
Thanks Alex! Great Video/teaching as usual. Kinda fun watching a master at his craft. Love and blessings to you and yours.
Thank you sir! I appreciate you always being here to support me. We never really achieve mastery but we can certainly try 😉
Nice video. One question. Does the kit come with a new steering column shaft. How do you know where to cut the steering column to get the correct length.
Yes, it comes with a nee shaft. We mark ours before we remove the originals. However we cut ours differently because we use a specific angled bushing in the end that we didn't show. Typically the shafts are cut straight if you want keep the borgeson stuff. I typically advise to mark the bottom of the column 1/4" out past the firewall and you should be good. However, every car is a little different. CJ pony parts has a good video in this specific thing as well that I would encourage people to watch.
New carpet is my next project for my '69 convertible. Would you recommend the sound deadener & massback on the carpet kit also? Or would it be too thick & not form good? I have dual 40 series flowmasters so I would like to make the cabin a little quieter
Yes! We typically do that for all cars that get new carpet.
Thanks for your awesome videos. Please keep up the great work.
Thank you!
Great video!
Thank you!
Did you have to change the balancer
No, as long as you get the correct flywheel, you don't have to change the balancer.
18:42 in the video that plastic cam
Help! The little turn signal cancel cam with the pin where can I get that? My project is missing it and I can’t find it.
I don't know where to get that other than buying a whole new turn signal switch.
@@AlfsMustangGarage I have a 1966 and I have figured out the steering wheel hub doesn’t work with the 66 switch set up. My steering hub is the 67-69 style. 1 pin on the cam that interfaces into the hub which turns the cam to flip the two ears. I’m going to have to do some research on my options
I have a rebuilt steer gear box off of a donor car. Do I have to yank out the column if I'm just replacing or can I just slide the old one out and put the new one back in? Thanks!
I have found that you have to remove column because you need to room to pull it out. Plus, if it's a V8 car and the engine is installed, you won't be able to get it out without pulling the engine.
This video helped me out a lot. Unfortunately, I had an extra couple of steps. I have a 61 falcon ranchero with a 200ci straight six. Those that are doing this for the Ranchero. 1. Loosen Sway Bar 2. Hoist engine slightly(with engine support bar- $80 at harbor frieght) to bolts that connect to the center bar, frame, and f engine mounts. 3. Remove center drag link on the passenger side. This is the most brutal step as ball forks and pitman tools dont work in that tight right angle squeeze that connects to the tie rod. I had to remove the tie rod(using ball fork tool) end that connects to the center drag link first, then give it a couple of whacks with a mallet to release the passenger side ball joint on the center drag link. Once that last third bar was dropped, I was finally able to remove the oil pan.
Oh wow! Thanks for sharing for those of us working on the Ranchero!
Really enjoy watching you work on the engine ,like how you explain what to do , keep up the videos
Oh awesome thank you!
