Dalton's shirts are almost as good as his work 😂 this has honestly been one of my new favorite UA-cam channels to watch, it's nice to see some cars get paint on them instead of just buffed rust! Your kid is lucky to grow up fixing old cars and learning something more than using Snapchat 🤙
I hate to say it, but this is one of my favorite channels on UA-cam also. Dalton cracks me up!! Every time I watch an episode, I laugh my ass off!!
They are impressive shirts and what's even more impressive is they aren't covered in filth, somehow whenever I'm wrenching I get completely covered in filth
Glad to see you’re back on the Torino. If you want to wake that 400 up some more for cheap, swap the timing set out for a set for a 1970 351 Cleveland. All 351M and 400 car motors had a timing set that retarded the camshaft 8 degrees. They did that for emissions. But it hurt the power output also
That is very, very interesting. The 400 is so underrated and such a good engine. I drove one from 1997 to 2007 everyday with an Edelbrock dual plane intake and Holley 600 vacuum secondary 4bbl carb . Still have the car and the 400 but EVERYTHING is so worn out.
@@Vile-Flesh They are a good engine. I have one in my 1978 F-150 4x4. They are way better than a 351M.
@BlackLabGarage Happy fathers day. Please read his reply to my first post. I'm thinking he will miss the 400 potential. Hope the author cams that 400.
@@PatandDoopypoopy Well Dalton @PoleBarnGarage isn't wrong. The 400 is a good engine but it is limited by it's open chamber heads and low compression. The pistons are way down in the hole like a Ford 360 is. The 460 is a better designed engine with more potential. I'm doing the same thing. I'm replacing my 400 with a 460. More power and better fuel mileage. I have Summits version of the 268H cam in my 400 and it's ok but the stock cam with a straight up timing set pulled better from idle to 2000 rpms or so. With his 3:25 gear he is better off to stay with the stock cam and just put a straight up timing set on it.
@BlackLabGarage Yes agreed. I wasn't comparing to the very superior 429 460 engine. Built several. My simple failed point wS the 400 really responds to cam and good chain. Hindsight I shoulda quietly moved along. And the 8.1 comp is great for 87 gas. Tighten up the cam lsa helps cranking comp.
That car deserves some body & paint for sure. Looking forward to seeing the progress.
Your son is becoming a really good cameraman! Love your videos! Keep up the good work! 🙂
@12:30, working on a vehicle with my father was hell on earth. You appear to be a good father. 😊
My dad had a '73 Gran Torino. His was silver with a black cloth interior. It was a 4 door with a 302 . His back bumper was just chrome. It didn't have the optional rubber strip in the middle. I would've loved to have had the Sport with the 351 and a 4 speed.
I've got a 78 f-100 with a 400 and c6. I've ended up putting an Edelbrock cam and intake and a 670 street avenger on it and it seems to love it haha
You check voltage on a resistance circuit, you have to have a load on the circuit, current flowing, you’ll have battery power all day long til you load the circuit. Just to let you know for next time you run into a electrical issue and you think you have voltage. This has bit me before. I’d have 12v on a circuit but it couldn’t handle any current. I always do voltage drop test, with some sort of load on the circuit, light bulbs work good, head lamps for heavy gauge wire, 1156 on small ones. Hope it helps you in the future.
Welcome Back! Hope you had a great time with the wild crew! Always love the Hawaii Shirts!
Nice to see a Ford 400 finally getting some love.
Dig that Torino always liked the body style of those early '70's
I have been enjoying the videos on the Torino. My mother who is deceased had one like this but red when she was a teenager. I only have two photos of it from the side and the rear in backgrounds of old photos. She used to tell me she'd chase guys around the town circuit with her 351 Cleveland. Before I was born, she supposedly caught my dad with another woman in a bar and chased him with it. He jumped behind some bushes and she ended up in a drainage ditch totaling it. True story (what I was told anyways 😂). But makes me think of my mom. Thanks Dalton.
Just a quick note, you mentioned that you had troubles getting the wheels to balance right. Magnum 500s need to be lug centric balanced, meaning the balancer adapter centers the wheel on lug studs. If you find a tire shop that has that adapter, chances are you can get them balanced right.
Agreed but nobody would
I had a twin to this car, same drivetrain, FMX, factory 3.25 Traction Lok...... it would come around on a wet road and kill you, demanded respect from your right foot..... at 190,000 miles( I was the I-don't- know-what multiple owner of this thing) the #4 plug looked a little funny....... when I finally broke the car down and sold it for parts, I found a cracked #4 cylinder wall, and it had apparently been that way for thousands of miles..... never affected the running of it in any way.
Use the air compressor nozzle to put out fires it stops all sorts of rat's nest fires and grease fires almost instantly. Coming from the guy that welds floor pans in with a 1/2 layer of grease on the bottom and a nest behind every patch panel, you can trust me.
320 econo-master,very good carb for fuel economy,had one on a 253 Holden V8,perfect for 15+mpg
More Torino PLEASE. LOVE IT!
I so enjoy watching you. This car - the '73 - was sold the year I graduated high school, so I saw a few of them (I think). Thanks for all your content. Your son is A+.
THIS VIDEO IS HILARIOUS, I ESPECIALLY LOVE THE CHEVY CHASE MOMENT WHEN YOU CAUGHT THE FAN WHEEL ON FIRE 🔥 🥵 🚒 🔥. Your son never has a dull moment hanging out with his very cool 😎 Dad. I hope your son realizes that he has the coolest Dad ever!!! Thanks for making such a funny 🤣 video, it's very appreciated 👍.
I just started watching his channel after I saw him on a JYD video but then NNKH was talking about him and said to check him out and now I'm binge watching his older stuff. Great job and I found a new channel
13:18 That is not just a bucket, that there is a Manards bucket. (So you know it's quality)
Love how ya waited till the blower got good n cookin before you did anything about it, I enjoy that myself when parts defy me
my 76 ranchero gt with a 460 got 22 mpg city this is why I love 460's
if you snip the very tip and cut a V notch into the tip of the caulking tube you can lay a continuous bead of the perfect height by dragging the tip 👍 windshield installer taught me that
That's a great idea!
i literally lol'd at jd comment @ 26:25 !
That carb is waaaay too small for those mighty Cleveland heads, if you went with a 650 with a stock cam and a 750 with a cam and headers. Those 351 and 400M motors are FULL of potential- Just ask Richard Holdener!!
FYI the 2 barrel heads had a 2.05 intake valve!
That Torino is badass👍
Thats a cool shirt. Good video. Love to watch shrink wrap work.
I got a 1077 Lincoln Mark V with the 460 BBF. Gotta pull the tranny to get it beefed up so it can handle the 700hp I'm pulling from the engine.
Wow 90k subs, congratulations you're on your way to being a full timer.
We'll see!
Radio fuse should drop out during crank, that might be an issue for the choke.
I'm still jealous .. but I would highly suggest you change the carb to the 650. You will love it! That's what I did years ago, plus a Torker intake. Mileage was still good with the foot out.
Sure but even with a 650, the engine is probably only consuming 400cfm
The Torino is really coming around. I would love to see it all shiny with a new tractor paint job, But the patina look is great for the moment. I wonder if the factory stripe is under the primer on the driver front fender? It might clean up really well.
Yep..shirt makes me think you just got back from Kentucky too..thanks..
Awesome, I have a 73 formal roof 351c 4v
I am officially sending you everything I can in a 5 gallon bucket from now on!
The lost and unfinished Disney film: "A Pole Barn Garage: Fievel Goes South" from what I was able to dig up online, production simply died out.
It's super weird watching this video the second time after watching the editing livestream. Love the video!
i believe those scissors that you were sent are seamstress shears judging by the size
Pole Barn Garage - criminally under rated channel. Can't wait for you to hit 1mil buddy 🤘😎🤘
One of these days!
Dalton: *Says any words*
JD: "Yeah!"
Me: "If I didn't trust Dalton before JD said yeah, I definitely do now."
Unironically spraying super clean on everything gets me every time.
I think the resistor wire doesn't lower the power to the coil till it is running if I remember correctly, see what the power is to the coil while it is running. Thanks for another great video.
You check it with the key in run position, 12v is typically used in the crank position. All power is delivered based on key position, not the engine running
@@PoleBarnGarage On an open circuit, the voltage at the end will float to maximum. There has to be a complete circuit for the resistance to show any effect, so it should have been connected to the coil to test that.
@@PoleBarnGarage okay, my bad thanks
Terry is correct, I should have thought of that
I love your honesty hahaha It's brilliant and pretty much the same thing for me but you can make it funny. And your son and you.... PARENTING DONE RIGHT :D
Nice ride man
The torino is great might want to check on the old fire safety films... Great episode...
Good to see old Torino back. I wish I could join your channel right now I can't.
really nice torino man its in great condition and in good (enough) hands
Can't wait for more corners to be cut! Love the videos man I've learned a lot.
Its like we were with you working just yesterday!
Then you turn it out until it dies the other way and then ride it is how you actually do it by ear there’s no adjustments to turn and a half or 2/3 that is a preliminary adjustment when you say two turns out like a rebuilt carburetor
Like you said in the intro typical car guy fashion... "Mehhhhhh as long as it makes 500 horse who needs brakes??" 🤣🤣🤣
I really like your Torino. Looks great and runs good now too👊
Why manufacturers don't fit tranmission/diff drain plugs I'll never know..
What I do know is, how you can tell I've worked on it🤣. I drill a big hole in the bloody things to drain them, then weld on drain plugs fittings
Glad you like the scissors
@T.ELEGM.Polebarngarage1 sure
Nice work
Love that shirt!!
What do you use instead of those rubber vacuum caps?
A piece of hose with a screw in it
Well?? Does the heater/air work? That's a little detail I am curious about.
It does! Just ran out of time to wait for parts
Love the Torino. I look forward to the next installment
good stuff man
Thanks for kicking the habit on camera.👌
On camera
Dalton your ugly shirt game is on point!
Someone has been watching Tony Angelo's videos "We're going to lose the shop!"
that one's been around awhile lol
Nice work man! Looking forward to more content.
If you’re having a hard time getting the wheels balanced try using balancing beads, they rebalance every time the wheel spins
I did, made it worse actually lol
That thing would be alot of fun with a T5.
Not in daily traffic it wouldn't lol
Love this car, can’t wait to see more of it.
Working good. I like the car
PBG. Offers creamation services for Mice 😂😂😂😂
your not stupid. 🙂👍
JFC buy some dowl pin pullers
If my friends didn't go for more horsepower first, I wouldn't be Thier friend, hands down first thing that needs done.
If you would have brought the Holey Goat to Desperado Resort, everyone would have loved it and you'd have 100k more subscribers now and you'd be a legend, instead of just the guy who Matt never mentions while he's talking about his first guests.
And I would have gotten it home how?.... You need a little more context, coming soon
@@PoleBarnGarage you could have towed it behind the Ram Van
@@PoleBarnGarage It's a car. Drive it! Bring JD and your Bro as your pit crew.
Tell Matt you want him to add a Demo Ranch bullethole to your art piece.
Are you using the electrician angle for a re-invite? He needs you there before he turns the power back on in the workshop and barn.
great video my dream car fer sure
Nice car wouldn't mind having one of those myself
Sweet
I don't have brake clean but I have S U P E R C L E A N N
:sprays and it comes back in his eye:
AAAHHH
I can see colors lol
Do that body work and you have a good looking old school
Bonus feature: ...
...an effigy to the "Gran Torino godz"... XD
Ya can't complain bout she pulls better, will undoubtedly be more reliable and to top it off you got a free bucket, and like you said JD is a great help. Great Job 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
I really like how Dalton does his videos really easy to follow what he's doing,and JD is a legend already really appreciate your channel,no BS and done with great humour
Congrats on 90K Bud !! You’re doing awesome !! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hey Dalton so happy you like the Scissors you know they are pretty damn good. Keep making these awesome videos. HEY JD you are doing awesome too
Thanks!
Your awesomeness! We need more good people like you!!
@@PoleBarnGarage Hi there l was wondering if you can help me out to get hold of your friend Kevin the junk yard dig because he got 2 Datsun that l really like and l wanna buy both car and 280z l wanna fix for my and got give the car and drive it the last time and he is old. Thanks
@@wineinbeautifulplaces1200 Kevin has an email address on his YT home page. (in case you hadn't had any luck)
Heck yeah! Torino is back!
Totally love the Torino! Excited to see the rest of the enhancements!!! Fun video, Dalton!
Thanks Lee!
Dalton another great video buddy. JD was trying to help and he’s learning by watching. Extremely funny. Loved the explanation of removal of rear axels. Lots of extras from Carburetor to Distributor and rear end. Very cool 😎 Thanks for sharing 💯👊👍
Agreed
The 400/351M probably get the most hate of any of the old Ford V8’s… that one sounds pretty good. I know simply swapping out the timing set in them for a performance one makes a big difference
yup. Cam timing crippled these motors
It's basically a detuned tall deck Cleveland engine. With a little mods, timing and flattop pistons, it'll be a beast
Oh man when you pulled that blower motor out and said "Hello Fievel" I lost my shit that was hilarious.
Swarm of killer gnats are the worst there so tiny and annoying can't see them on camera but I know there trying to take you out Dalton Lighter and a Can of old paint should take care of them 😂😂 @Pole Barn Garage
OMG! Laughed till I cried, when he lit the blower on fire, and JD laughing.
No need to drop the coolant on Cleveland's or 400's.
Life probably doesn't get much better when you're working on an old muscle car with your son, goofy shirts, and a 12 pack of ice cold beers.
Awww the torino in the Video editing live stream which was awesome and entertaining I been looking forward this finalized video nice work as always Dalton @Pole Barn Garage
Great to see the Torino getting some love. Always entertaining.
16 yr. Old i rd. Around alot with a friend who had a 73 grandtorino sport 351 Windsor alot of fun until bolegs pull in front of a lady and got t boned that was the end of the ford rip.
Died of laughter during the entire blower motor on fire sequence. That’s some tasty burnt rat remains lol
I smiled at the point where you're pulling the old distributor out and marking the old intake where the rotor is pointing perhaps forgetting that you're replacing the intake too. ;-) Great content!
Good work
Hello from France 🇫🇷 !!!!🎉
I have the same car what diff did you get the Eaton Tru Trac locker. But where did you get it that it all came as a unit? I've been trying to find it but it just shows the locker not the gears? It looked simple to just bolt it in.
Quick Performance, that's the place I was talking about
