I just got a 77 ranchero gona start the same process 👍

Noiiiiiiice. I suppose the setup/procedure is similar for the 2.3?

Why cut it in 1/2? Cut one side off to get your width….

What type of cam you use ? Im looking to buiild my buddy marine 454 block with not a wild cam just for cruise.. i have a edlebrock top power package 2095 that my friends say thats not a typical street driving application because its a 1,500 to 6k RPM . Im keeping my heads they are nice edelbrock

I have exact same Truck except Fully loaded SLT 6.5 Diesel in Black .... the front CD holder in the center console is your cup holder.

I’m curious my shackles on the front of my jeep are reverse than what you show on your install does it make a difference? And if so what would the difference be?

Get the truck for the job it will be doing

What are you asking for it???

Good ole wobble socket for distributor hold down bolt. Well let me keep crawling in there for what size it is. 😂 think I saw 9/16 basically 14mm as socket was spun around .

If its in the 6-800 ft lb range its a 3/4" drive torque wrench

When I’m back East visiting family for a couple weeks, I like to sketch “what if” cars. And also I do full size renderings. Of course my “back East” vacations are your typical destination activity location. It’s more of a chill out time.

The tractor’s name is “Betty”, Betty Ford.

Stock do the Chevy 7.4 vortecs have 3 inch exhausts?

Why didn't you take the air intake off would gave you a lot more room

This podcast is proof that 39+38=13………just sayin’

What??? You’re sayin’ we’re not closers. I’ve heard it both ways!

I have a 99-01 center console that doesn’t connect to the dash in mine and love it. Way better than the factory cup holders and actually fills up the space between the seats. Makes it look like the console wasn’t an afterthought

I wish i had help with my truck.😊

Monster engine

Snap on and carlysle torque wrenches are way more then 250. Try like 6-800

Where did you find the front bench seat or would you find ?

I have a 97, 2 wheel drive crew cab dually, im putting back on my exhaust manifolds, ive had 2 sets of headers, they leak, im gonna build a new exhaust system from heads back, thanks for your idea, im gonna do the same, I didn't see u finish yours, I wanna see and hear your truck

I have a 77 keeps stopping on me after I put gas in tank. Sits for a while then runs fine, frustrating.

Started a head gasket on my own with no knowledge prior and this has saved my life, thanks bro!

I bought a cheap metric china set, nearly complete (bought a 15mm wrench for $4 to complete set, and a pair of knipex alligators), totaled up under $200 in tools to have a complete wrench kit for the car. Inlcludes a filter wrench, and electrical kit. Solves 99% of problems on cars '99 or older. I also ride with a full set of accessories for the fan belt (minus AC), extra belt, plugs, coil, and more. Lol Can't be too careful keeping murphey away.

You guys should really put/start using #Leatherman on this one to maybe get some kickback possibly....just an idea...

What a hack job

you left out a LOT of detail on this distributor install... and i find it hard to believe you got on the first try.

That is not a marine grade starter.... a marine grade starter is identical to the one you pulled out. That's why there is a solid copper connector going to the starter and not braded wire. Also the starter is completely sealed from vapor so it does not cause a fire when trying to start after running on the lake. Just letting you know is all. Happy boating. Be safe😊

I bet you do a tune up, change all the fluids, and tighten up everything, it'll be a damn fine truck.

Damn nice truck if it wasn't a Ford I wouldn't be watching I wouldn't pay for another GM headache ill tell you that much

The 390/AT combo is worth 1000x what you paid for it😂

After all this time, you don’t have a remote starter switch….? But hey, the ol Ford runs good!

Will the kit you used in this video work with other years? Hoping to replace my 2002’s 3.0 head gasket

I fix like 90 percent of my jobs with a basic 1XX piece tool set from advance auto.

HONESTLY, how did you get the bolts out

Wonder if taking that plastic part labeled vortex were possible to ease the work

Vice grips... one I did not hear y’all mention. All great points otherwise.

Wow this helps a lot! Getting ready to do my ranger.

You guys set the bar so low, it’s easy see to got room to polish your program!

I have used that the boss on the filler neck for a temp switch for the fans.

Well Josh, sometimes your action item list rearranges itself and something you planned on doing someday works itself right to the top of the heap! Have fun building the doubler! I know you’ve been wanting to do that anyway

Where'd you get that trans rebuilt? I tried to do mine but I think I left out a circlip 🤣😭

And 2 amc 304s one of which runs and a 360 low mileage rebuilt that is a beast. Plus low mileage t176 Dana 300 and 2 t150 with Dana20s connected. And a couple 258s . If you need anything let me know.

I have 3 bw 1339s with gear reduction if you are interested? Plus 3 amc case th400s still connected. All of which are still in working order.

Hope too see what broke on the Quadratrac. Just did a part time kit in mine

Nice job! Hey im trying to find out exactly what engine I have in an old boat that I bought it’s definitely an OMC I believe it’s a 4.3 but I can’t find the manufacture tag on the engine. Can you share with me where the tag is on yours so I know where to look? I’ve been crawling around under there and can’t find it.

the coil and module only thing needs to be removed,i bought msd dist. thru napa it works same as factory.

My brother and I live in western Washington. We both have mini bikes, and we are about to do our first overland trip. We ride the bikes so hard through local dirt bike trails. Most guys are shocked how hard we rip on these things.

On them seat bolts if you can rip the carpet out around them get you a torch lighter heat them up really good they should brake loose . I have had to do it like that before. Heat them up really good and spray them with lubecause when they are hot it sucks the lube it .
