Woohooo he is back baby!!

Dude! You pulled out the old sending unit out and installed in new tank without putting a new pickup,/shower 🚿 head on it! They rot and fall off. It's in the old tank! Just keep it well above a 1/4 tank because that is your empty mark without a pickup screen.

Check out 406 garage they have a lot of IHs.

you have turned into one of my favorite channels. great content and quality, keep it up

I'm 62, and boy does this bring back memories!

Maybe just put in a modern drive train out of a Crown Vic to make it more reliable so you can take it on longer trips. You have a very unusual and interesting model that screams 1950's.

Great video. Question. F250/F350 front springs for that year, gasser vs diesel. I know the obvious, the diesel motor is heavier so those springs should be more rigid. But are they interchangeable with the gasser? I don't know of any difference in any mounting location or hardware associated with the two. What do you say?

Ok dude I read some of the comments on here. I was a truck driver for 5000 years and drove to Australia dedicated every 3 days. Blah blah blah I too was a driver. Heavy haul had my own 4 axle truck and 4 axle trailer Winch truck in the oilfield. Let’s talk!!!!! I’m gonna tell you what no one will. Go out there and get it done. That’s a versatile truck man. I would have bought it in a second. I understand when you said you couldn’t afford it and interest is involved. Listen dude screw that. You got one chance. You own the truck. Make a run. If you fail pick your self up dust you self off square your shoulders to the load start walking again till you can jog and do that till you can run and don’t look back. Now go out and find yourself a truck tire shop. Someone will have some on sale get 2 or whatever you can swing with cash. Then start looking for a dump trailer. Maybe a step deck. Maybe a flat bed. See if you can find a winch Put that on there find you a drop neck to haul heavy equipment with. Dozers. Excavator. Backhoe. That’s specialty hauling. $$$$$$$. Don’t let no one stop you dude. Don’t quit. You bit it know take off running dude.

I'd love a Banks system on mine, someday.

I would first do a compression test to get an idea of the condition of the rings in the functioning cylinders. If compression looks good, just a partial tear down may be all that is required. I know nothing about those engines. As for the gas tank, I filled up my then 7 year old 67 T-bird. When I got back to my apartment a stream of gas was pouring out. I was able to plug it with a wad of something and drain the tank into my other car. 'Bird was gone soon after.

Hey my father was a general manager of a Mercury dealership back in the fifties and we had one of these Turnpike Cruisers it was white with gold trim you have something very special there and it's worth every penny to make it right you don't see many of these around is the design it's so different everybody knows exactly what it is immediately not sure what your budget is like but you know you need engine in order to have a car, if you don't have that you don't have anything . You've gone this far I would take it all the way man what you have is one of a kind vehicle all I have left of the one I remember is a picture I would absolutely love to own another one of those my dad died in 1958 and that was the end of our Mercurys

I have several early sixties Lincolns with that MEL engine. Besides your issues, these engines are notorious for blow by due to stuck and worn rings. Also they usually hold several coffee cans worth of rust in the water jackets to be cleaned out. I would suggest an entire rebuild. It has been 12 years since I rebuilt one, so I don't know how hard it is to get parts now. Another possibility is to get on the Lincoln slab side FB pages. Lots of good running 430s with trans are being pulled for modern engine swaps. (even though the 430 has 462 lb ft of torque at 2200 rpm). You can get a running engine with trans for $500. However, it may come with its own set of issues.

These two are kind of gloomy, mysterious, strange....idiots

Yes, you are right. Don't do it by yourself, get help a friend car enthusiast. It happens 😅on me, too, but after five months of slow effort, all comes up great 👍. Thank you for sharing.

Kerosene in the crankcase is an old timer trick to free up gunk in the engine... about a quart is what I always was told....just let it idle, but i'm thinking that car was parked for a reason.... If you're going to keep it, and can do it yourself, the engine rebuild is a viable option... it stinks for sure to have to do it... you might get away with a cam and lifters and lapping the valves, but if you have other issues, it's a lot of work for not much gain.... BUUUUT if that car has the 430 MEL in it, I know a guy who did his 58 Lincoln and he's really happy with his car...

Is your driver's nickname Wingnut perhaps ( at 19.45)? So good to see I'm not the only one to clean things properly before staring work!

Rebuild ground up you want regret it ..Dont hurry do it all the way..

Do a total rebuild

a greasy bottom of car is a less rusty bottom of a car....hey, take the good with the bad....enjoy the build.

Put marvel mystery oil in it . Clean the rocker shaft and each pushrod with air and brake clean . Put it back together and run it some . Put na oil pressure gage on and check the oil pressure .

Ummm I think you should just give it to me :-) lol

Nock Ranch, do a top-end rebuild, no need to pull the motor..

U murdered that engine. Buy an electric car.

Honestly brother for the price you picked the best truck

I did put kerosene in mine with motor oil and it worked no more ticking

Good to see you restore it They are very rare now I have a 57 Monarch. I put diesel in my crankcase to clean out the engine and change oil again.

Just put the push rods and clean the centers out, then adjust them

Those old Y-Block Fords allways had problems with oiling the upper rocker arms,however, if the pusrods are not turnig you have a cam and lifter worn out. What I would suggest is put a cam and lifters set in and the timing chain will likely be worn out. The oroblem with the upper oiling is that the oil feed to the rickers is through one head bolt bore per bank. The oil feed passages are very small and need to be totally clear. If the oil pressure light stays out at operating temp the bearings are probably ok. One weak part is those gerotor oil pumps are very close tolerance and they will jam with the smallest particle circulating in the oil, and those oil systems are not 100% filtered. It appears that the rockers have been cleaned before, so it could have had a pre-existing condition up there. That (Tredle-Vac) brake booster has leather seals on a sliding piston and a rubber hose that passes through a seal in the metal housing; they we problematic when the cars were less than ten years old, I would suggest for safety reasons to rekit that whole master-booster setup. That old merc o matic it probably gonna give out soon because of internal pressure leaking from hardened piston seals so get ready for a rebuild.

Pull engine..rebuild, pull tranny..rebuild, pull rear end..rebuild..easy peasy.

Reminds me of when I decided to install a new clutch into my 97 Ford F150 4x4 alone.... That was my worst week ever

Hey man, really dig this car, and your channel. Personally, I would change the pushrods, lifters and examine the cam. Also, verify that the valves in the cylinder head aren't sticking, which could potentially bend a pushrod. I would also pump oil through the engine via a drill and possibly look at the pickup screen to see if it is clogged with trash. I'd wager the engine has a lot of life left in it! A second option could also be finding a good running replacement engine that you could swap in while doing an R&R to the current engine. I would consider this option if you are wanting to get the car back on the road asap! Best of luck!

There's a shop in California called Karps break that will rebuild that unit for around $375. It's in Southern California.

When removing seals run a self tapping screw pull with a pair of vice grips

My advice if you want to drive it on a regular basis drop a small block chevy in it the cost to rebuild engine and trans is astronomical

You want to keep it. Do the complete engine overhaul. Or find a good core and get that done...?? I like your straight forward manner.

Holley is a good carb but the numerous passages are a real challenge to keep clean.

Putting diesel in the crankcase will not likely make its way through the oil galley to the rockers since it's a poor design, prone to sludging.

Should've replaced the tail shaft seal and filter and pan gasket while you had it out

A cheap tarp on the ground saves one from the yukky task of cleaning the garage floor or the stained cement driveway.

Those late 1950's and early 60's automatic transmission were notorious for rear main seals failing . My old 1963 Mercury Monterey had the same issue.

Nice car Bro, but why are you in disguise?

Take it and get that exhaust fixed later..

Rebuilt it!

I could be wrong but i believe that is a 312 Cube motor.. as such, i will say that they where a pretty bullet proof motor,, I would do as others suggested,,fill with diesel oil,, and further,,,take a pair of pliers and forcible rotate each push rod, over and over again,,,because i believe the guides may be carbon ed up or rusted up. another person mentioned the oil screen in the pump pick up being plugged,,,maybe,,? i dont think so, but its worth a shot. anyhow,,,,Im a cheap son offa squirrel,,, so definitely manually rotate those push rods... failing that,,,,Pull the heads and give it a quick turn around.. Best of Luck from the Great White North.

Just drop the transmission.

Hey get ahold of kiwi out there in tennessee. He's got a guy that's into these cars. And also you can try Silas out there and kansas. Hey I had a couple of these but been a while. Adventure made from scratch

I want to know; Are you intentionally creating content geared toward divorced 45 year old men?

Rebuild it. That is one of the coolest cars on the planet.

I would do the diesel fuel trick, few mins, maybe drive around the block, but I would first check the oil pressure. Could be warn oil pump. Working on engines since I was 18.

I remember buying a CAM2 filter in the 70's
