1972 FORD GRAN TORINO 351c NEEDS A NEW STARTER. PLUS LETS SEE IF IT WILL START. LAST RAN NOV 2021.
My son Jacob and I are tired of banging on the case of the old starter. Off with the old. On with the remanufactured. It’s not a difficult job. Two bolts and one nut and it’s off. Starter started acting up November of 2021 so we parked the car. Lets even pour a little gas down the carburetor and see if it will fire! I would appreciate it if you would subscribe. #ford #grantorino #1972 #restoration

My Explorer is a 2006 and has the same size tire and wheel. My tires tread wasn’t too bad but needed replaced. He said he didn’t mind and that I could have them for no cost. He even threw in a pair ...

One weird thing is a failing coil pack will interfere with the PCM communicating with the TCM on the v8. The wiring harness travels near the coil packs on passenger side. Simply replace coil packs. Car has nice ride 20 mpg highway with v8. Great video

    i use the same Ford bumper jack to raise the front of my Ford 8N tractor. the height achieved with this jack is required to do the job. it's probably safer than using a floor jack with a length of 4x4 lumber placed between the jack plate and the axle. Any jack can fail, any vehicle can fall. use jackstands.

    My uncle was working on a 1959 Pink Caddy. He had both wheels off while underneath the car and the car went sideways and his head was under the Oil Pan at the time. It was on a long driveway in the country at my grandmothers with lots of other cars and no one found Bill for 3 days when they smelt a bad odor.

Took till I realised it was called a Bumper-Jack to be able to find this video. All that's missing is where to make contact with the car of using a more modern floor jack. Prob depends on the type of car. Thanks again!
