The FIRST START Was A MESS 1965 Ford F100 EFI Conversion

- It's time for the first start of my Grandpa's 1965 Ford F-100! In the last few videos we've installed an Edelbrock RPM Performer intake, Holley EFI Sniper 4150 Stealth, Holley EFI Dual Sync Distributor, and all the other goodies to make the perfect driver. We finished up the last few projects thinking it would start right up but it didn't. The switched ignition was cutting out during crank, the oil pump drive fell into the oil pan, timing the Dual Sync was crazy hard, and then the radiator broke... we still got it done and now we're down to simple bolt on fixes to drive it!

You guys are a great team this channel is growing leaps and bounds it’s awesome to be here from earlier!!! Everyone needs a bro like Josh he’s the man !!!!!
Colin Goldthorpe Josh is the man. He’s definitely in the bro hall of fame.
You can tell Josh has gotten more comfortable in front of the camera. He seems like such an awesome guy.
Definitely awesome to see them work together on camera. Good call!
"This should only take a couple of minutes"
Three days later.
Story of my Life....
Judging by the oil, the engine is obviously in really good shape; didn't see any metal pieces either. I still can't get over the fantastic condition of that truck, man!
i like how your friend just acts normal and doesn't bullshit all the time too much whilst you recording it, nice content be safe
“Watchjrgo” where everything is “perfect” and “will only take a few minutes”
And he still way more realistic than Tavarish
@@regulareverydaynormalguy6479 and he finishes projects, does tavarish still make videos on his main channel ??
@@Chris-hw4mq Tavarish only upload videos of the trashed cars he buying and tells his fantasy plans, That's it.
@@regulareverydaynormalguy6479 thats sad he has like 7 project cars and doesnt work on none
@@Chris-hw4mq And Hoovie has attempted to work on his cars,but he's not a great mechanic,still tries though
Congrats on getting your grandpa's truck started! As others have said previously, it would be a really good idea to plumb in a dual master cylinder so you can make sure this awesome truck stops when it needs to.
In the works! Maybe even disc brakes 💪
Hey Junior take your time, you two guys do so GREAT: together, continue! Love to watch you, been watching your for some years now, really look forward to you getting your "GRAMPAS" p/up running great,,, and driving it! Sincerely, Marcel in Yuma, Az
Love this man! Screw the haters! you have more power, more MPG, easier starting. Who doesn't love the Snpier? It very well may go on my 56 T Bird
Josh’s quarantine beard is coming in nicely.
Really enjoy your videos; realistic. Things just don't go right the first time in real life. Thanks for not editing out the stuff that happens. Here's a vote for showing you actually making some of the repairs - such as the upcoming new tank installation and plumbing, for instance - even if it means a slightly longer video. Interested in learning from you and Josh.
Just watched Vice Grip Garage’s old Chevy and now this is posted. Thanks for the Quarantine content! 👍
It must be classics week! 🍻
Watch some ddspeedshop while your at it
A while back I made a comment about the way Vise grip garage puts Fords down, and his reply to me, in less than 10 minutes was, "Fords suck". I immediately unsubscribed . So if you're an old car guy like me (I've got Ford Buick Lincoln Honda and Nissan) I highly suggest you unsubscribe from vice grip garage.
I just found Vice Grip Garage yesterday. He cracks me up! funny funny dude
@@danhuffman4455 Fords do suck though.....
I can’t wait to hear how it sounds once the exhaust manifold leak is fixed and the EFI has finished its learning curve. It’ll be strange to hear one of these old engines purring absolutely perfectly, since carb tuning was always a compromise at best, and few people could do it well, if at all.
Sometimes those big projects cause more project. I had a 1989 F150 and it dropped a piston one day. Had a 302. Got a nice motor with low miles, got the old one out, found the flywheel was shot, the clutch was replaced and was in great shape, and the slave cylinder and throwout bearing were shot..had to replace all of that. Then I got it in and running and it had a terrible vacuum leak. So I had to take the intake plenum off and fix that gasket. Then I drove it for a week and the water pump failed. It happens sometimes. I did a lot of driving in that truck after I got it all fixed. You’ll be enjoying it soon.
You need stock in O’Reillys! 😎
Then I'd basically be paying myself to buy parts, this is genius! 💯
@@WatchJRGo how do you pay for all the parts?
@@boxbooty725 from CZcams
You make totally rebuilding an engine sound like a fuel stop.
They didn't rebuild the engine.
Good video I've done the same thing and had to pull the oil pan. It's always good to get another older car or truck updated with fuel injection. 😎🤟
If I could work on the 1965 F-100 with Joshs and Watch JR Goes I would pack up the Hash Pipe with Rocky and get all schmoked up.
Grand Pa would be proud of you for the EFI, but kick your ass for the skate board.... 👍👍👍👍
The camera turned to the interior... nice, love it
Way to roll with the punches and keep on knocking things out with this one, so close!
awesome , bring that old ford back to life.... you guys rock
JR your channel just keeps getting better...you are make some great content..keep up the amazing work.
It's hard enough to do this without parts that are funky. You guys are Good! Happy Easter!
Glad you got it running,,,,and I have a new radiator for it if you want it ,,
Learn so much for his videos. Also so Entertaining.
This car looks so good, maybe it's the Tesla Cyber Truck of 1965.
Just looking at it sparks up emotions in me, can't imagine what it feels like to drive this beauty.
Restos are always full of surprises...enjoy the ride gents
Awesome job guys, wouldn’t be a ford without an exhaust leak
Love the sound of that ole engine!
Surprised fluid changes weren't first on the list of To Do's. Fluids, gaskets, injectors, filters, etc. for a vehicle that's been sitting for so long.
Welcome to modifying anything or cars in general, one step forward... two steps back. Generally whatever I was working on I had to drive to work so I'd do big stuff over the weekend and try to gather stuff and plan ahead. Luckily we always seemed to have the communal family leftover car that nobody needed as a loaner in emergencies. Ours is a 93 Taurus I hate but if it has gas and a battery it always starts and drives. At least none of your projects have to run by Monday or the next morning so you have time on your side.
Nice truck that engine looks good and sounds healthy
Good job, good work.
Retropie Arcade! Nice, I built one a couple years ago too
Underside of the engine looked like new...crazy. That F100 is gonna be a great runner now. More HP better MPG...looking forward to the first drive video.
Im excited to get my HolleySniperEFI and hopefully i dont have so many problems!
Daily driver? Or F.O.R.D. Fix or repair daily. It's a pretty romantic notion you had there to honor your family by restoring your granddaddy's pride and joy, JR. It's just not very practical to expect the F-100 to stand up under daily use given today's expectations and demands put on modern vehicles. I suspect this will require constant coddling from now on.
Making it roadworthy is a helluva accomplishment. You may want to honor his memory by saving it just for family anniversaries and rolling it out for NASCAR race weekends and Fourth of July parades. We saw the spiritual connection you've made with your Granddad. That was pretty special. For sure it is that no one will argue you're both cut from the same cloth.
Great vid.
Looking at the box of parts that arrived, I reckon its possibly a Mini the next project...
Awesome video
When you got an old truck be prepared to replace a lot of stuff
jiggy chad neuman, no kidding, my grandad bought a 69 Mach 1 mustang new in 69 for his wedding gift, 50yrs later he’s still got his wife & the car, my dad helped restore it about 10yrs ago.
Since then he let me drive it to get breakfast when we are at his house about twice a year. It’s pretty fun. But there’s always something that goes wrong, even after being restored, & it’s just sat in his garage. Only gets about maybe 50-100 miles every 3-5yrs just from when we are up there, it gets started every month to keep the fluids flowing though so that good.
But he doesn’t have Ethonol free gas in it, if there’s anything that’s gonna kill the carb it’s the Ethonol.
I gotta say I just put a new carb on my old JD212 it’s been running fine but it’s started to cough, I’m worried the Ethonol ate the carb.
Since we can get Ethonol free gas now I’ll be putting it in it. F##K the Ethonol.
My dad also just restored an old KX250 & just rebuilt the carb, but used Ethonol gas in it, & almost immediately the carb was full of this weird reddish, gewy, gell sh#t.
After that he had to rebuild it again, & uses Ethonol free gas in it, & I will form now on in my equipment, since it’s getting so bad the carbs don’t last.
My 212 got a freaking $100 carb on it to. Rrrrrrrrg!!!!!!!! After. I’ve had it for 3 yrs now & it ran good but it only ran good for 3-4 months after I got it, since then I’ve been fixing the thing, & finally got it running good, & am starting to enjoy it.
Paid $250 for it, & 3yrs later I’ve got around $500 in it so far, in paint, fuel line, head gasket, carb, tube, drive belt, led head lights, 2nd oil change, soon a tranny fluid change.
@@michaelbenoit248 Most of those problems with the old cars are from not being driven every day. I grew up driving old carbureted junk and never really had much of anything go wrong, maybe 1 issue per year per vehicle on average and it was almost never fuel system related. The sitting is what kills em. Ran a carb on my truck for 7 years 14,000 miles and it was spotless like new inside when I changed to a smaller carb. Not sure how many hundreds of idle hours were on it on top of those miles, but a lot. My dad had a 87 mazda pickup he bought new and it went until last year before the carburetor ever came apart for a cleaning. Had a lot of dirt inside, no varnish though.
Bruh JR posted a video of a three wheeled car he bought and then he unlisted it! DARNIT I was about to watch it after I got up the next morning!!
I once worked on a Ford that lost oil pressure. When we dropped the pan we found the oil pump drives perfectly twisted like a piece of licorice. The oil pump had seized because a single bristle from a wire brush found its way into it. Let that be a lesson, be careful when wire brushing an open block...
Once all the bugs are worked out, Grandpa's F100 is going to be a super cool reliable cruiser.
The prime sounds oddly like the beginning if a Van Halen song.
Oilpanama
When we come to race you I need to bring my 68 Dodge so we can take em out for a cruise! It will help you cheer up after your loss!
Love your show and your attetude. Once she is fully mobile let us know if there is a diffrance in the power and fuel consumption
Wow, and I thought the Fiero fuel pump was loud.
We fixed that, I mounted the rubber clamps to the frame (when it's super loud). Then Josh went back and added rubber isolators, now you can hardly hear it 🍻
Do I spot an A-series and Mini exhaust? Hehe. Love the truck and how it fires into life straight away
very nice. thank you
I would take those exhaust manifolds off and have them resurfaced on the mating surface. It’s pretty common for those 390(FE) manifolds to warp and leak. I’ve got a 1970 F100 with a 390 in it.
Addicted to your channel. Love it! How about an electric conversion? That would be cool!!
Can you do some more videos on the Manta, I actually like that little car.
10:59 that looks like an old Mini engine.
That engine was in a lot of cars! You could probably guess it 🍻
Nice tease with the little muffler and engine.
@@WatchJRGo 998cc Morris Minor?
Yup, that's the ol' A-series alright. I've got a 998cc sitting in my Mini out in the garage right now.
JR, I've got a book on tuning the A-series I'd let you borrow if you think you could use it. I'm in Derby. Let me know.
Oooh! I hope that A series is out of an MG Mdiget?
I actually like how the valve covers look, rustic
Great stuff
Cheers mate
Glorious !
When I was a kid my dad bought an old chevy and he wanted to do an oil change, when he took the plug out nothing came out. Soo he took the pan off and it had 1"¼ of gunk all around. My dad was like "nope, not my problem" and screwed it back on with all the crap in it put 3 quarts of oil back in it and drove it for 5 years with only top-ups.
Pink resistor wire to the ignition only supplies 9V to the coil, if you didn't bypass it you will have trouble
Hey JR , I really love your videos, butt I was just a little disappointed when after of crank attempts and quick fixes you jumped to the engine running at 4:49. Rather than showing us the start you told us about it, I know I'm nitpicking but please in an engine startup video we like to SEE it start lol, once again I really do love your channel and keep the great videos coming.
The only difference was turning the distributor over and over until it lined up enough to run, that’s not the proper way to setup the Dual Sync but it made it run. Later on we finished the setup and it ran 50x better 🍻
Beautiful truck, JR. While you are modernizing it PLEASE upgrade to a dual master cylinder!
I believe there is suppose to be a piece of weather strip across the cowl that seals against the back of the hood to keep rain water out of various places in the engine bay
a mid 60s ford f100 is a sweet ride with a Ford FE v8!!
Pretty truck!
So..... that intake and a new carb will get you on the road enjoying your vehicle faster rather than go through all this trouble. Moral of the story. Thank you for proving old cars run better with carburetors.
Awesome video u rock
i had to make my own exhaust gaskets out of copper sheet in order to keep them from blowing , then i put ceramic coated headers and happier ever since.
I wonder if Gabe got deployed hence we don't see him anymore....
White Thunder or he’s got a family and is social distancing
Hey! We use the same strategy I just keep cranking till it fires right off too. 4:53
hats off to 200k
Ooh. The paint matches your house
That noisy fuel pump would drive me crazy...
We ended up putting rubber isolators on the pump.
Don't forget the thermostat , you know it's gonna stick !
Something that old chain driven engine wow 😮👍
I love the old Fords
Remflex header gaskets will not let you down, even with stock exhaust manifolds.
I think the fan shroud was a retrofit, my 66 F250 had a stock 352 engine, no fan shroud and never overheated.
The race tank is the way to go get that thing out of the cab and you have some storage space. I'm enjoying the f100,restomod.
That will be a mini then look forward to that
The engine you flashed at the end is out of a Hillman minx or singer gazelle. I know because I swapped mine last fall lol..
Ill take that truck when yer done with it... love that year f100.... lemme know when yer ready to part with it.
The sludge is most likely from the parafin in the oil, seems to cake up any old motor. My 64 galaxie that says for 30 years had a lot of it caked on the rockers but the lifter valley is spotless (low mileage) I’d suggest using a bit of merc 5 in the oil to clean it out. Be sure to use a zinc additive to protect that flat tappet cam!
That "umbrella" on the oil pump drive shaft, goes in the up position, to keep you from pulling it out when you remove the distributor...
Sounds like an aftermarket cam. Not too aggressive, pretty mild but does not sound stock for the 1965 V8.
This screams for a set of headers and exhaust!
Brilliant
That's what you get for not reading the comments, JR! LoL I suggested, nay 'recommended' taking the exhaust manifolds to a machine shop to get the mating surfaces planed. IDK whether you installed 'new manifolds' (I recommended against that as well) but getting the originals planed will correct and prevent warpage and give a better repair. I'm an OG mechanic and familiar with old FORD big block exhaust manifold gasket leakage problems. They are a bitch to change (usually) so anything a guy can do to not have to 'do it over' is always the best remedy. You're doing it over. Take my advice. Or keep doing it over. And over. And over And over and over and ahhh, you get the idea!! LOL
I read all the comments, saw the exhaust comments, came up with a plan to prove them all wrong 😛 the fix is on the way!
Josh does seem like a really good dude...
I enjoy the videos, you do a great job.
Huh, well I guess not much has changed. I'm currently working on my 89 f250 and decided to drop the oil pan to replace a leaky gasket. Realized I need to drop the exhaust, lift the motor almost 3 inches off its mounts, and drop the oil pickup top get the pan out. Thanks Ford.
Ford did not usually use gaskets on the FE exhaust manifolds. You have discovered the reason. Have the mating surface of the manifold machined to make it true and bolt the sucker directly to the head... and use the locking tab washers.
Nice... should sound like an old truck with the lower idle now.
Jr I run diesel oil in my engines and it has additives and conditioners that will flush that out just run for couple hours hard and change oil and filter
Even modern engines with synthetic oils still get sludge. It's just a given with combustion engines.
Don't drive it with an exhaust leak. The O2 sensor will read false leans and you'll end up way rich on your learn. Install looks great!
Holley recommends getting the sniper running before using the dual sync dizzy. Shame about the radiator but it’s still going to be awesome
Haha, I read that after we had it all done... Oh well, we just jumped right in! Figuring that out was crazy 😬
OK, now its time to put the R8 back together! Do you know how many subs Tavarish gained with his Lambo build? Lots! and The Wizard now has the software for the Lambo/R8
Watchjrgo just hovering back home in the beginning 😂
Haha so glad a new video up
Took two days to get all this done! Should've been the easy part but between lifting the engine to pull the pan and timing the dual sync it was a very long road 🍻
WatchJRGo haha it’s part of the fun of working on old cars same happens in my 99 escort lol every time you do a job something else breaks but all said and down it’s part of the fun!! Again keep up the videos jr absolutely love your videos for years haha I was the one on ig asking about the exp a while back
Ya need to keep a massive supply of WatchJRgo T-shirts to wear so the masses will want them
