Revving Up the C5 Z06 Fuel Pump to Maximum Power!
I can picture the missing rubber plug for your carb. It has a flat bottom with a stem sticking up that you pull through the hole on the arm. Bowl vent valve or something like that.
an SOS soap pad or some 0000 alt steel wool and some water will shine those bumpers and chrome everywhere like new and get rid of the rust! Then give em a good polish! You'll be glad you did! Ha! Ha! Oh and the alternator is probably correct! Didn't have much electrical in that car! Love your videos! Oh, at the end.....No whitewalls. BooHoo!
@@kevindoxey I'll try the steel wool trick. Thanks for the kind words!
Lol hilarious about the part of “that’s the car that rolls off the cliff “ in CHiPs
@TierodMcslush Every single episode! Thanks for watching and commenting, my friend!
People never think about how dried out fuel hoses, brakes, seals & gaskets can reek havoc- today's ethanol blends work to dry hose out even faster, fuel pump diaphragms, and destroy carb seals, gaskets, etc. Wix oil filter is 51515, and they make filters for a lot of packaging companies/private labels. I never use Fram; factory, Wix or Baldwin
@olikat8 I just talked to the original owner. He's excited to get a ride in it when it's on the road. I am, too. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@mohawkgarage I built a 410 using a 428 crank in a '73 FTE 390 block- big hint from my machinist buddy who loves Fords. Use the 428 CJ oil filter adapter, really helps oil flow which is very important with top-oilers...
@@olikat8 Cool build!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!
The other carb. is an earlier model. They are fairly close all the way back to 1957. The hole is just a vent. There probably was a plug attached to the arm. Gas will shoot out that hole if the float is stick.
@theprinceofsnj That's exactly what happened. I'll be installing the rebuild kit next. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Awesome 👌
@MetalMania3DTV-TAS-AUS I can't believe how much rain we've had, but I've been working on it as I can. Thanks for watching and commenting, my friend!
@@mohawkgarage ok bugger the rain 🌧 and understand all good, and you're welcome 😊 🙏 🤗
just use the original carb top .......the piece you are looking for might be in your rebuild kit
@@user-bm8ei5ub1c I looked for it, but it's not in the kit. I may not have a choice, ya know? Thanks for watching and commenting!
I don't know much at all about Fords except that they're harder to work on and more expensive than Chevys. Lol
@@Galona223 Absolutely! I'm gonna try to make one good carb out of the two I have. I feel confident, which means I will certainly fail. lol Thanks for watching and commenting!
Lmao!!! Good luck!
@@Galona223 Thank you!
Do you use a lead additive in the gasoline?
@joeo7257 Yeppers, I added a bottle to the jug that I'm using until the fuel lines are replaced. Progress is slow but steady. Rebuilding the carburetor tomorrow. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Ha! Exactly!
Se não seguir os passos para funcionar um veiculo parado a muito tempo vc sofre à toa... 1° trocar o óleo e filtro de óleo. 2° retirar às velas e colocar WD nos pistões para não quebrar os anéis dos pistões( ferrugem nos cilindros) 3° limpar carburador e vefificar bomba de combustível e tanque de combustível. 4° verificar a eletrica... Platinado e condensador e todo o chicote elétrico. 5° Liquido de arrefecimento e mangueiras 6° girar o motor sem as velas para facilitar a lubrificação do óleo do cárter até apagar a luz do óleo 7° colocar às velas e conferir a faisca de ponto de ignição. 8° coloque combustivel no tanque e coloque na cuba do carburador 9° verifique eventuais vazamentos de combustível nas mangueiras. 10° faça funcionar e verifique o nível de óleo do cambio automatico. 11° Tem freio? Se não tiver revise 12° SEJA FELIZ... ACELERE E APROVEITE À VIDA...😊😊
I've been bringing it back slowly and carefully. It ran and idled perfectly today, but the carburetor needs a rebuild. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I always tell my son to keep his eyes peeled for old cars when we're on the back roads

Thank you very much for listening and responding to my playlist suggestion! 👏👏👏 They turned out great!
Thank YOU! I meant to do that, but I had forgotten. Have a great night!
@@mohawkgarage You too!
I just wanted to make a comment about the gumball machine that you found in Kentucky that still has the toys in it. I worked for the man who invented the acorn bubble gum machine back in the 1920's and I would ride around with him restocking them in different states and I definitely remember Kentucky having to drive across creeks to get to the stores .His name was Lee Smith and he passed away around 1983. So if the toys are still in it that we would get out of his closed down airport in Charlotte which he used for the business then you definitely have some vintage gum ball machine toys. Thanks for the memories 😊
@@user-mf3kz1gt7e Looooove my gumball machines! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Amazing! 😮😮😮 Beatiful car! 😍😍😍 Single owner, it couldn't be better! 😅 One suggestion: You should create a playlist to include all the videos of this car.

Wow! No rust at all!
@eldonhoward7925 It's pretty amazing! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Wow! The memories! My dad had the ‘67 Colony Park version with the wood grain sides. It was already old by the time he bought it. I remember going on family vacation with us 7 kids and a friend! First car I ever drove. And those vents on rear pillar ARE functional.
@johngrogan4609 I'm starting to think we were all raised in station wagons! My family had at least four of them over the years. Somewhere along the way, minivans replaced them. I truly appreciate your story and that you took the time to let us know. Thank you!
My dad had the same hub caps. The lower areas should a satin black.
I suspected the hubcaps had a painted black section originally! There's still a bit of faded black paint on them. Thanks for the info. Also, thanks for watching and commenting!
Them big block corvettes are my favorite ones. Thanks for the video!
@Galona223 I've had some big block Corvettes over the years, everything from a 1968 427/4-speed to an 865 hp 555 stroker in a tubbed '73. Love 'em! Thanks for watching and commenting!
@mohawkgarage Nice! I have a 68 conv. that had a 327 in it, but I blew it up when I was 19, and I put a 427 in it. I still have it, but I haven't driven it in years!
@Galona223 We REALLY need to get your 68 going!
@mohawkgarage Yeah, I know. Maybe next year. It's a 4sp, too.
@@Galona223 Mine was a black ragtop. Love those cars!
That’s crazy I helped build that jag for a guy named Jim in tarpon springs
@rotarysplint Wow, it's a wild-looking ride! Small block Ford? Any details about it? Thanks for watching and commenting!
That one poor yellow Mustang looked like it had been bee stung on the face and had a terrible allergic reaction. Its lower lip was grotesquely swollen.
@@danielulz1640 That's an awesome description, dude! lol Thanks for watching and commenting!
You're welcome. @@mohawkgarage
The vents directed air across the rear window to keep it clear.
@@richardkawucha1232 Excellent idea! Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@mohawkgarage The first car i ever I bought ($365) was a 1965 Mercury Park Lane with the 390cu.in./4bbl, Marauder engine & automatic trans. Had H78x14 tires on it. I put coil overs on the rear (weak springs) and cherry bombs on the dual exhaust. I did 104mph in the 1/4 mile, at Detroit Dragway.

I grew up in a 1967 mercury Monterey sedan. It was my father’s work car since new. Same color as your wagon. From the age of 5 to 15 years old my legs literally grew to the floor. I cried when he sold it after a minor accident ironically in front of a Toyota dealership. That started another chapter of vehicle ownership. I hope you’re able to create some happy memories with that car, they’re unique.
@michaeldecker2725 Childhood memories are the best. I'm glad the car brought back some good times (except the crash. grrr!). Thanks for watching and commenting!
That’s cool ash trays back in the day
Do new cars even have ashtrays? lol Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@mohawkgarage thanks for the reply be safe like I said keep that wagon
@@fredbalandran3182 I plan on keeping it. I've got lots of little projects to do to it before I drive it, though. Thanks again!
@@mohawkgarage cool
I can’t wait to see this beautiful family hauler when it’s cleaned and detailed! I like to think of all the good memories some family had in this wagon. I can’t remember - does this have one of the third seat options? There were two - rear facing, and dual facing rear seats. Great video!
@@joemorsman6531 It has the facing rear seats! Another video is coming soon. Thanks for watching and commenting!
SOS pads will SUPER CLEAN white walls !!!
@N-Scale I agree! But the tires are severely dry-rotted and will need to be replaced anyway. I've been swapping out deteriorated parts for the last few days. Video coming soon!
Had a '67 Monterey. One of the best cars I've ever owned.
@@kennethgrutter9406 Great looking cars, too! Thanks for watching and commenting!
A sos pad works great on chrome, but will scratch aluminum
@bighank796 It's already part of the plan! Hopefully, that will clean them up. Thanks for watching and commenting!
This made my day! The perfect way to cruise. Also , looked like you had a dropped call :P

@@Jstme303 Thank you! I'm very excited about driving it!
I love the wagon, it's cool as ice. I think it's a 390? They were good regular performance ford big blocks. Great for everyday street driving
Yep, it's a 390! I can't wait to take it for a cruise. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@mohawkgarage yeah, I think I commented on one of your videos when you got it. I love different cars, but actually back in the 60s to 80s wagons were the bread and butter cars that got the job done. Millions of people across this country have so many memories of these wagons that can't be replaced. Everything from weddings to funerals. To camping trips.
@bighank796 I totally agree. Much of my childhood happened around wagons. Vacations, school, trips to relatives' houses, etc. Once you sit in an old wagon, memories rush back. It's magical.
@@mohawkgarage I wish you well with wagon, I will look forward to your videos and will subscribe if I am already not
@@bighank796 I truly appreciate that. I hope you enjoy the future videos!
That’s so cool

I like the stock hubcaps makes it look like some hippy's square parents time machine. From the cradle to the block, keep it stock, just turn up the rock..
@@getmysurname-jl4hm I like the stock hubcaps, too. The only other option would be the original style dog dish hubcaps that were also available for this car in 1967. Thanks for watching and commenting!
OK but get the paint flattened and polished, and find the inner trim pieces and an alloy wooden slat long roof rack and you got a rocky Mountain beach bum surfer, mountain lion passion wagon!
@@getmysurname-jl4hm I won't be modifying it much, only replacing mechanical parts that are worn. Then, I'm gonna drive it! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Keep it original. I wish I were closer. I'd love to detail that car for you. FREE of charge. Just for the pleasure of seeing it shine. BTW the original tire size back then would be a 855/15 I think.
@mikenonya6382 The only parts that are being replaced are faulty mechanical parts. All original parts will be saved. All hoses, lines, belts, and fluids will be changed. Thanks for the kind words, and thanks for watching!
