Be cool if you could get the clock working

HEY CARB EXPERTS; i just bought a 76 F150 with either 360/390 2 barrel carb auto with driveability problems; SYMPTOMS; it had no heat riser under the aircleaner springloaded flapper it also had a brake light on in dash and weakish non power brake feeling also had a badly cracking brake boooster hose also had an off idle stumlwe/hesitation that could would stall if not carefully feather accelerator. has broken ex manifold bolts and leaks exposing soot shooting out, same for exhaust, its leaking and noisy and soot oozing out SO i replaced the brake booster hose hoping to fix the brake light AND off idle stumble TLDR; it didt, it made things worse actually, idles poorly now and stumble is worse did more inspecting underneath and found rear brake hard line crushed and leaking which backs up the master cylinder being low on small resevoir for back brakes i couldnt see in Carb to see if accelraotr pump works but it sounded like fuel squirting when i pumped the throttle Accel pump linkage seems stiff and instantly engages with throttle movement SO whats first thing to start checking carb out to fix idle and off idle accel stumble?

Still have the wagon?

Can I try please???

How can I get a vehicle like this? Do you have cars for sale?

My 64 Galaxie with the 352 and autolite 4100 runs great. I've adjusted the idle mixture screws with the vacuum gauge and a tach dwell meter. If I turn the screws in the engine stalls. I have them about 2 1/4 turns out. After that it seems the idle does not change or get rough if I keep turning them out. No vacuum leaks, timing set correctly and curb idle set to specs.

Think you can remove 'proficient at starting cars' from your resume.

GREAT VIDEO!! Thanks for explaining things that make them easy to understand!! Young guy working on old cars is a good thing!!! Cheers

Some Quad 8-track would be nice! I have a 1979 Collectors Series Midnight Blue with leather.

what do i hook it up to if i dont have a break booster

Nice HA-806/HDG-608 set!

my parents bought a brand new 1977 Ford f15 custom truck. it was white with red stripes on the side. I was 1 year old. they put a big camper top on it that u could stand up in. lot of memories riding in that truck. my dad sold it in 1987. my aunt and uncle had a blue and white 1976 bicentenial Ford truck. my grandparents had red and white 1977 Ford truck. my uncle had a green and silver 1979 Ford ranger truck. as u can see I grew up riding in Ford trucks including one more truck my dad bought a brand new 1988 Ford ranger blue truck and had to let it go back a year later.

Great video and very helpful

Letting go to early.

Friend don't you have a garage to keep that in. Nuthin ain't gonna start when it's 0 Farenheit outside. Put it in a garage and cover the hood with a blanket. Remove the blanket before starting, but it would b much easier 2 start. Damn. Those old wagons were very very good and very very reliable. But 0 degrees? Ain't nuthin gonna go without some help.

It's so stupidly big. I wanna drive it in a european country through a historic city and hold up all the traffic in every direction

All this startup antics ended with fuel injection.

Thanks for explaining carburetors You made it very simple to understand I really appreciate it

Mudila!😂

good video,,nice truck!!

I had a 1978 Mercury Zephyr and 3 pumps was all it took to get the old girl started every time unless it was nasty cold

This is what my 78 does after it’s been running. On a cold start it only take about 2-4 pumps.

My 390 2bbl 2100 went got up to 25

It’s probably too cold out

Now that’s a truck!

Just subscribed to your channel. Love your content so far.

wishing you could work on my 1979 t bird...im not a motor head...

I sitting here all this time .....I would like to see the whole car next time...thanks

Appreciate the help

All that cranking and near zero oil flow is not good for the engine. You should install a block heater and oil heater, this helps hugely. Zero degrees fahrenheit isn't that cold up in Canada. Thats only minus 18 Celsius and we BBQ and have beers in this kind of weather. You may catch us runnimg aroud in shorts and a heavy hoodie.👍🍻 that wagon looks good.

I sure would like to start this car! I live in Staten Island NY.

Do you have any of these cars for sale? I live in Staten Island NY.....I would very much like to buy such a vehicle!

Perfect simple but real, explanations. 🇨🇦👍🏼

wow that dosent start so good. its a Ford right.

U flooding it😅

One of the issues you are having is that those multiple pumps on the gas means you are flooding it. Put your foot to the floor and hold it. That stops the gas fkow to the carb. That beautiful wagon is either a 400 or a 460. I've had 2 351Ms in 78 Ford Thunderbirds. At -30 and ecen colder my old Ford cars always started first turn of the key. Even the 76 Thunderbird with the 460 that had been sitting for 2 years started on the first tutn if the key. I can tell by the sound when it catches that the choke is miles out of adjustment. I'm betting the idle mixture is all messed up too. Fixing the choke takes no more than a couple of minutes. It is painful to hear that engine struggling like that. Be careful because you likely have gas in the sump. You have almost certainly washed any oil off the cylinder walls.

Very attractive car.

Your videos are amazing! If you like farming or harvesting videos, I look forward to having you visit my channel to have relaxing moments together!

I had an old rx77 and i turned it over till the car nearly warmed up, then it started. It took about as long as this car lol.

The real mvp is that battery

As a 70s kid, I remember cold starts could be a real issue. Sub-zero temps meant all the hoods would be open. Those carbs were finicky! EFI saved us a lot of problems and quite a few starters 😂

I have one of these in a 1974 vintage. Mine starts every time, within 10 seconds, because of a simple modification I made. I removed the linkage between the throttle and the choke, and then ran a manual choke line to the dash where it is mounted. Pull the choke all the way out, push the throttle clear to the floor and hold it, then start the car. Let off of the throttle halfway to three quarters until oil pressure is built, while setting the choke to one half. Once the engine has ran for approximately 30 seconds, fully release the choke while easing up on the throttle to make sure the engine doesn't stall. Sit with the car for about 5 minutes before leaving to be sure it doesn't stall, or that the carb doesn't ice up. Let the vehicle warm up to at least 160F (if you have a 180F thermostat) before driving the car. This will let the carburetor get up to operating temperature, and the oil to flow more freely. I put a 300 straight 6 into mine. It was a LOT easier to start with that single barrel Carter YF than any quadrajet or Edelbrock, especially in the negative temperatures.

Spray up the cylinders with some Fluid Film or some other metal rust preventative, so it doesn't rust deeper into cylinders.

Anymore cold starts from this one?

Appreciate that you made this video and have done your best to explain a carb adjustment.

Any more cold starts

This is the clearest explanation of air/fuel adjustment I've ever heard. Period. Well done!

Every time I'm almost starts he shuts the key of push the gas down it almost started like four or five times if you would have just kept the key down and pushed the gas a little bit it would have started

My truck will run but will eventually stall out and then will not start I suspect a vacuum or vapor block from the gas tank. Could the vent at the gas tank cause this?

My 400? - ONE pump - starts - idles - beautiful. Flawless every time. Here it is guys, it's how they are cared for, and how many past owners they have had. People do dumb shit to cars (because they have zero clue) then a lot turn into dog's breakfasts. To buy an immaculate classic car with MINIMAL past owner quantity is a godsent. Cheers.
