  • @Fordman7575

    The gm alternator on the Ford right there is the problem!:D That and the fuel leaking all over the place. They needed the blocks in the springs because they swapped in the Lincoln 460 and added the plow.
    That transfercase is a full time 4wd NP203. The NP203 has the range box in front of the case. So either someone converted the hubs to lock out style or they swapped the whole front axle assembly out for one from a part time 4x4 D44.
    Feel free to send the 300 my way! They are my favorite engine and I've got a small hoard of the 240/300's.

    • @a105-t5m

    50:39 The local guy I took my 1979 F259 with a 460 to in order to get it running (after sitting for 11 years) said he put a 1969 timing chain in it so it made better fuel mileage and more power. I can say, as a kid fresh outta high school, that truck made plenty of power for me to have plenty of fun.
    He also plugged the emissions stuff on the engine, as it was a California model and had a Catalytic converter on it (apparently the first year those were put on the old Ford truck, but ONLY for the California model in 1979 from what I’ve heard).
    As it say for over a decade, I just cut the catalytic converters and muffler off, right behind the cab, and ran it like that. Outrageously loud and fun for an 18 year old.
    Still have the ol’ girl, just need the money to rebuild the engine a couple other minor things.

      That's exactly what Ford did on the Essex V6 in the UK, used in Capris, Zephyrs, Zodiacs, Consuls and Granadas, as well as Transits, if you were mad enough or an emergency service. The nylon cam gears were a nightmare as, once they got to a certain age, the heat cycles would make them go hard and brittle and they'd lose the teeth of them, which would often ruin the engine as pistons would meet valves and all sorts of carnage would occur. Steel gears were a bit noisier, but didn't break, and you can now get replacement cam gears that are made to be quiet and last a long time. Back then, however, material technology wasn't up to the job...

    Another great video. Keep up the good work guys! Planning on trying to get my dad's old 64 GTO that I inherited running again. Last time it ran was 10 or more years ago. Last I knew it smoked about as bad as a van full of chain smokers. Should be fine.

    This was, lets say ,a very interesting vid, from a burned, not running rig , to engine running real well,all the probs in between that turned up,then rectified, figuring out why it burned up in the beginning,all while not having enough sleep plus a few laughs. Great vid guys, keep up the good work and tks for the education and the fun.

    I was thinking when you were talking about the starter, that you just needed to somehow figure out how to put a starter on like the one from the tow truck and call it good. Lol

    Had my 350 engine in my 64 C10 catch fire twice . It also took a bit to start it but when it ran it sounded ok but would run hot and some times flood and stall then when you try and start it hot it would catch fire . The engine was put in the truck by previous owner . After a couple fires I went over the engine and found the distributor off 1 tooth . After fixing that problem it ran like a champ .

      use to see a fair number of those mid , late 70s fords catch fire- fuel line ruptures hits distributor, kills engine, minimized fire damage. it sucked but wasnt hard to fix

      Anything with a carb can go up in flames like that one did. I had a mk3 Ford Escort do that to me on the motorway, though it was kind enough to put itself out again when the air cleaner melted and cut off the air...

      My uncle's old beetle caught fire because the fuel filter got heated up by the engine and melted and then gas got all over and ignited. It was common for plastic filters to do that. That's why it's good to have the metal oens

    • @gosportjamie
      @gosportjamie 4 роки тому +2

      @@rexjolles Another one that's common on air-cooled VWs is oil leaks rotting the flexible fuel line, which then sprays fuel all over the engine, which, being air-cooled, is a lot hotter than a water-cooled engine will be. The fuel ignites and you get, at least, a rear end burn out...

    My dad's 78 had automatics hubs. When it was 20 below and snowing like crazy he would pull over and I would automatically (reluctantly) get out and go lock the hubs. If you didn't grease them every now and then you had to keep a pair of channel locks in the glove compartment to turn them. His had a 400 in it and it was one of this plow trucks. My favorite truck to this day.

    Yes starters and gears need to match tooth count because of spacing between the ridge and valley of the tooth pattern. The main reason there are so many is for diferent gear reductions to turn the motor easier depending on what it is, compression ratio over square under square targeted cranking amps and size of the starter that you can fit are a few things to be considered.
