The simplest and most reliable carburetor on the planet, from 1957 till about 1985, along with its shorter lived big brother, the 4100 4barrel. That little rubber piece behind the accelerater pump is actually called an "Elastomer" valve, in Fords lingo, the earlier ones had a check ball. Through the years, these carburetors had 4or5 different types of choke unloaders, with the vacuum pull-off unit on this one being the final design, some later ones also had a two stage power valve, and I remember they made color coded power valves, different valves for different altitudes. Back in the good ole days lol. Just a little trivia
Another vote for the longer format.
Another great video today Good information and content
Love the Alaska windshield. :)
Nice job , sounds good 👍👍🇺🇲
Probably my new favorite of your fleet that thing is awesome
When doing the final tune, I try to use the Vacuum gauge. Hey, you did a great job on the rebuild. I'm from the "Carburetor age" that's all we had until about 1990. Thanks for the video, I enjoyed it!
Much appreciate the longer videos sir!
That truck is sweet!
Nice tutorial on the carburetor rebuild, there were a couple of pieces that didn't get clearly shown what they were or where they went exactly but overall... Good job... There's a rumor that there are two unbroken windshields in Alaska but nobody has seen them or knows where they are.😁 Best Wishes to You and Your Family Austin.
I really enjoyed this video. Lots of interesting learning. The time spent on this video is great. Please keep making these videos the same time long. Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to your next project.
One of my favorite trucks. Most likely you will get better fuel mileage. Great video
Great work. Looks and sounds so much better 👍👏
Nice job sounds good 👍
Those smog pumps were a JOKE to me brother! Just another belt to burn more fuel! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙋🏼🙋🏼✌🏻
Oh Yeah Brother - another successful mission accomplished by 'The Can-Do Man'! I love how you took off all the smog garbage and got 'er nice and tidy. That's how I like to see it! Can't wait for the next!!
I just picked up a '70 F250, also in Alaska.
I will be following your progress with this truck.
Thanks, Jack, RI, USA
Hey , I've been following your channel for a little while now & love the content! Your vids are super informative & the way you go about explaining everything as you go is awesome. Always looking for that next new vid update ✌
I second that sir!!!😊
I'm impressed.
Just for anyone who might care. I’m running 2 china knockoffs on 2 of my truck. They have ran flawlessly, 1 for over 2 years and the other almost a year. Your results may vary but 50 bucks versus 300. It’s worth the gamble. Both of my originals couldn’t be rebuilt because of throttle shaft has excessive slack. Well they can be rebuilt but not by me and gets expensive. I gambled on the china knockoffs and won both times. Again your results may vary
Гарна робота, двигун шепоче!👍
My 79 F150 always had a power steering pump noise! But it worked great, just whinned a bit! Thanks for sharing Austin, you really know your stuff brother! Good job and good video my friend from the north. Kirk in Louisiana sending prayers and positive energy to you and your family! Take care of yourself Austin! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 GOD BLESS AMERICA 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙋🏼✌🏻✌🏻
Flush and refill the system, and add a can of BG Power Steering Conditioner, it's never failed me yet
@@Kevin.W. thanks!👍🏻
Almost every Ford and Mopar I've ever worked on have the power steering whine lol built in supercharger idle lol... With the exception of the 2000 magnum 318 5.2 litre V8 dodge ram laramie slt quad cab long bed 1500 4x4 that doesn't have the power steering whine...
Love it👍👍
👋🥖🇫🇷 Bonjour👋

Great video Austin. Really enjoyed it.
I've got the same carb on my 1986 Wagoneer - and actually the same rebuild kit that I need to do. Good stuff as always.
I lived in Anchorage in the nineties and to say that passing a emission test was a test to a mans tolerance of patience.... if anything was removed or bypassed, it failed and no tags.. not sure if that still happens but if it does, we do not have to have all of the emissions equipment as long as its not in Anchorage as its home. All the stuff removed is a nightmare to replace
Accelerator Pump ... When I got "Rambo" my 55 Dodge Stake Truck somebody had put a 1 barrel tractor carb on the 1st gen hemi. Talk about hard to start and crappy acceleration. Got lucky and found a NOS 2bl with accelerator pump. Now it starts easy and that 1st gen winds right up and is fun to drive. Cheers Austin. 👊😎👍
Cool truck. Glad you got rid of most of that emission junk. Just dragged motors down.
BYA, nice carb tutorial! Glad you mentioned throttle shaft wear causing vacuum leaks! Most re-man carbs for sale nowadays are not drilled and re-bushed so check for play before accepting them. Your carb may be in better shape so a good kit could result in a better repair for less dinero! Cheers!
Great Truck. They run so much better without all that crap all over the engin. All that stuff just makes lot's of points where it can leak or get clogged, failing points. Not so much that it wont run just enough that they run like crap.
Another awesome & informative video, thanks for the great content!
Thank you
Needs a 4 barrel and a mild performance manifold. Might as well do a valve job and a little porting. And if you do that, a new cam would really wake that old motor up. Come to think of it, some pop-up pistons would help too, raise the compression a bit. And if you do that, might as well upgrade the rods...
Great stuff. Yeah theres a lot of that emissions crap on the Ford couriers. Seem like great/fun little mini trucks.
Maybe might need the heat riser hose to the air cleaner up there in the cold. That 4 speed does look crisp. Front end looks a bit choppy on the highway :-)
Brother I need you to get my 84 f250going! 😂 great job on the carb 💪🏼
Runs better than a sewing machine
Time to wash it. Good
use aviation form a gasket on the outside edges of the carburetor gaskets its a shellac based product. they have used it since before WWll. very useful stuff better than silicone I say. my2cents
When we ran those trucks, the parts guys always asked if it was a Cleveland or a Windsor. I never knew the correct answer and never understood why they made two versions.
Actually they made 3 versions, Cleveland, Modified, and Windsor. Apparently not a very knowledgeable parts guy, the Modified, or 351M, was the only 351 offered in pickups back then. And the Cleveland, which was discontinued in 1974, and never used in trucks, while the Windsor was first used in trucks in 1982

What’s your favorite chemical for cleaning carburetors? Also do you use an altrasonic cleaner machine?
I just use regular solvent in my tank. I haven’t used a machine.
Nothing like getting rid of government regulations 😆
I believe that 90% of what is on the road today, will be gone and forgotten in 40 years. Not necessarily because the drive train won't last. But because of the extensive electronic components. If you continue to change the fluids and conduct general maintenance on this truck, assuming rust doesn't get it, it could last another 40 years. Thats no exaggeration. And if I can make a suggestion. You have a very calm and steady voice. If you could go into more detail on things, I don't think anyone would complain. Because what you might think everyone knows- they possibly don't know all of it. In other words. When troubleshooting, show how you sprayed the vacuum areas with carb clean/ brake clean and explain why. Also explain the vacuum valve attached to the heater hoses and what it does and what you did to delete it. And when you rebuild something, show us what you are doing and why. It probably seems boring and redundant to you but to many of us, its very interesting. And maybe show what something runs like before your repair and then how good it runs afterwards- like you did here. This old iron brings back memories and not many younger folks are interested in this stuff like you are. You have a great instructional voice and your calm style is a gift. You're a natural. Not everyone on CZcams is, and they try to mask their lack of talent with profanity and gimmicks. Keep up the great work my friend. I subscribed awhile ago so can't help ya there. But I like and comment on everything to help boost your stats. Cheers brother!
Similar tone of voice to KT3406E, another great hillbilly youtube channel
Thats exactly what I was thinking! And thats a compliment compared to some of these others fools screaming at the top of their lungs
The amount of worthless crap they put on those engines is mind blowing, If you can tune to use less fuel then you have less emissions. I hope your buddy decides to paint it, deserves it.
Typical ford ps pump
Why complain when there's a cure
