We're back on this abandoned 1970 Mustang project! This was left in pieces when it was torn apart and never fixed. Think we can get it back on the road after all these years? Stick around to the end of the video to find out!

Dylan The modulator valve on the back passenger side of the transmission requires a vacuum line to manifold vacuum.
Dylan I want to thank you for saving these old school cars in my opinion. The old school cars are better then newer cars are today
it's not saved. it's temporarily patched together. it needs a lot of love but this model brings some bucks when they're restored.
I agree every car saved from a scrap yard is a piece of history that doesn't get erased
@jamesbigham9036 @nathanboerner2256 How do you guys figure it's saved? Now that he's made YT content with it, it'll sit there & rot in his back field. Is that saved? Cuz it's not back on the road as a daily driver, is it?
Over the years, I too have commented the same thing a number of times after any given "Will It Run?" video where some guy will claim "...we got it to run, drove it from its grave in the field and we saved it!" yet anywhere from a few months to a few years later you discover that car or truck is sitting out back in THEIR field rotting away into the dirt. My thought at that point is, "Oh yeah... you really saved it all right!!!" while rolling my eyes around and around. All they actually did was move the car or truck from one field in the dirt to another field in the dirt. That isn't "saving" anything. While I commend folks for getting old engines or cars, trucks, boats, motorcycles and even airplanes to run again... those things should not just be left to rot all over again beginning right after the video footage is shot. DO SOMETHING WITH THEM or sell them to someone who will. If need be, give them to someone who will lend them love and use them! Oh... so you're keeping them as a future project, huh? Then for the love of Dave preserve them so they don't continue to deteriorate even further than they already have! That pretty much precludes leaving them laying around in a field in the open, fully exposed to the elements. It'll be a miracle if they don't get infested with mice which is a disaster waiting to happen. What to do? Get them under a roof and out of the elements and do what it takes to protect them from vermin. You've got to be realistic about what you're capable of based on your abilities and income. If you've got so many "projects" that you're not going to get to them for more than 2 years, then figure you're not going to get them... ever. That's just the harsh cold reality of life. That is also being realistic. Seriously consider whether it's wise to continue keeping your "projects", especially if they are deteriorating in the weather. Ask yourself this one question, "Am I turning into that guy... the guy who's saving it because I'm going to 'fix it up some day' but I NEVER WILL?!?" Here's a tip - if you've had a long term project for years and those closest to you such as a wife/girlfriend, your parents or your best & most closest friends say yes... sell it off because you'll never get to it... then you need to get rid of your "project"! Why? Look at yourself in the mirror... you're already "that guy"!

You should do a full restoration on it.
absolutely Josh. This model is quite collectible. I'd go all the way through it. It has the makings of a good project car.
It would be a great restoration project, like @Sleeperdude suggests.
lol,the guy does this for views only.restos dont command the same amount of views.they will all rot in the field of decay
I do it because I love cars.
I agree sleeper dud right on
I've enjoyed your channel for quite some time, but bringing Briar into the mix has taken you to a whole new level. Not only the interactions between teacher and student, but also 2 like-minded car guys doing what they love. Thanks for the pleasure you bring to your viewers.
I will take it please
Is Briar a relative of yours or just a friend? Hired help?
@@LunaTic-fy9ve i think they are just friends but maybe Briar is like a cousin or something
Quiet Armor technology for happy content filming! We can't wait to see how you use the new NorthStar air compressor.
Thanks Northern Tool for supporting Dylan!
Was interested until I seen the price 🤣 sheesh too much for me
I have to be honest....I'd have never guessed you even knew who slayer was...you gained alot of kool points in my book....not that that matters haha
I only like the guitar solos 😂
Yeah I was surprised at that, especially given the quotes in all his video descriptions!
The devil's got the best tunes, that's how they get you ;)
@@krz8888888 that's funny
Your fill point for any water cooled engine needs to be the higher than anything else. If you have bleeders like on the efi Fox body’s they need to be cracked open to let all of the air out.
I don’t know why but out of all the 1964-1/2 to 1973 classic era Mustangs the 1969-1970 are my favorite. I think it’s because they have smoother body lines. Find me a coupe like this and I’ll be a happy man!
Me too....
The old T/A racing Mustangs....that's what I'd do to it.
Mustang need to be restored. Time for Briar to get a car and rebuild in o the channel.
-- At approximately 1:00:15... it isn't a "goofy" Ford transmission. It's a lack of understanding by Dylan. If the gear shift selector position on the trans body is aligned correctly with the shift arm inside the car and the neutral safety switch is not an issue then the transmission should shift correctly through all three gears. However, as others have noted, you must also have the correct and functional vacuum modulator attached to the back of the transmission as well as connected to manifold vacuum on the engine. These transmissions were designed to shift into the main drive gear based on manifold vacuum - if the necessary vacuum isn't there then the trans is not going to work correctly! Note that I said the correct vacuum modulator. Why bring that up? Because not all modulators are the same - you've got to get the correct one for the car itself, the engine under the hood as well as the transmission type. Other potential problems include flexible soft lines being either hardened & cracking thus leaking vacuum or being so soft they collapse under vacuum thus not allowing proper shift points. Also, the metal hard line can either be squashed/crushed thus not allowing proper vacuum pull to the modulator or a line can be rusted out also allowing vacuum leakage which causes a no shift condition. Lastly, at the intake manifold, make sure there is vacuum at the port where the vacuum line connects - it doesn't happen very often but they can become clogged with rust which once again does not allow proper shifting at the transmission. In my experience, this mostly occurs in long dormant vehicles that are being resurrected so that factor would apply to this Mustang in particular. It's easy to check for vacuum by simply disconnecting the soft line from the modulator and putting your finger over the end of the line. You'll either feel suction or you won't. Peace & good vibes!

The Mustang turned out to be a ripper! It still could used a few items. I think it deserves a part #3. Like rebuild the Holley, replace balancer, patch the floor with random tin, fuel supply from tank. I'm not a Ferd guy, but the Juice is worth the squeeze on this one it seems. Was a nice video folow up from the first.
you failed to put a vacuum hose on the modulator on the trans. that little gold can on the back of the trans needs to be hooked up to manifold vacuum. it controls shift. also the kick down from the trans to the carb needs hooked up. looks like the hook up on the shift shaft is missing. hope this helps!
The dog is like that one friend that stands there and watch you struggle don't offer to help out come up with excuses as to why he can't help 3:55
7:04 check the dipstick Jimmy, whip crack😂
Thank you Northern Tool! I have a 1969 Fastback, easy car to work on, loads of repair parts available. The balancers are 2 piece with a strip of leather in between and fail all the time. The vacuum modulator valves fail on C4 transmissions also giving you your shifting symptoms you have (also if you don’t have a vacuum line hooked up).
When you had it on the left earlier I've seen there was no vacuum on the modulator
Thanks guys, always happy to see your vids, like that you have Briar working on stuff with you, Great team y'all are❤
All you ever see is the fastback version of those. It's nice to see the coop. Hopefully you have bigger plans for it
I've watched a lot of your videos, and have always been a big fan, but you humming Raining Blood by Slayer was one of the best moments in any of your videos! Keep up the good work, Dylan!
Thank you Northern Tool! Love seeing old Mustangs live again!
From Randy in Chattanooga: Hey Dylan. I hope you’re doing well. I just finished watching part 2 of the Mustang episode. I always have liked the older model cars as opposed to these newer vehicles. I’ll take an old square body Chevy any day. Love your channel. Keep up the good work. God bless.🙏
I gotta say, the idle really improved there at the end, and it started running better overall after a few doughnuts
The 70 is my favorite stang front end out of all years from 64½ to present. This is being written as your pushing it onto the lift. Looking forward to the rest of video and I hope to see many episodes of this car. Thanks Mr. McCool for the entertainment you provide. I think the addition of your co-worker is a great one, don't know how to spell Briar, Brier, Bryer, Bryr.....if I paid attention I'm sure I could've picked up on it, along with Dylan's, Dylon's....etc...nane too haha. God Bless you and your family's ✌🏻
Love the content Dylan,keep up the good work
B&M makes a drain plug kit , you just need to make sure you find a good spot to drill so the bolt doesn't interfere or contact the valve body. That's still a Cool mustang
hey Dylan and Briar, i'm a chevy fan through and through but i love these old mustangs..from 65 to about 80..the cobra and pony 2 is about where my love stops, anything after that is just too rounded ...this ole girl deserves to be back on the road and putting down some miles like she did in her glory days..no not a complete restore but fix what is there and put the rest of her nose back on and just cruise her around..sendin yall love from Alabama
Thanks Dylan. You got it going. Guess you got yourself a flip. May have to do a couple more things to it. Thanks for sharing! 💯👍
I hope we see more of this car. It needs a lot of work, but the foundations for a great car are there.
The Charger is really coming along, love it. Green cars are awesome... The Mustang though, that thing will take a while to get right. Will be well worth it though :)
I work on my own when I can work,but I have a winch I put on the end of the hoist, to drag non running vehicles, saves a lot of energy, doing a great job, thanks for sharing, all the best to yous and your loved ones
Thank you northern tools!!! We love watching your videos Dylan
Now we’re talking brother loved all the mustangs
Thank you northern tool
I love this car...! looking forward to see a roadstoration
Thank you northern tool! The old stang has potential for sure. And you gotta love a slayer reference.
Dylan, another great rescue of a car that has a new lease on life. Just a suggestion, but it would be super cool to see her get the same treatment as the challenger. Thanks again for another awesome video.
Paused @3:33.
I hear the distinct sound of dry rutted tires shearing apart. 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Thank you Northern Tool! That compressor looks amazing
Would love to see this Mustang rebuilt.
Thank you Northern Tool!
I was shocked you knew Raining Blood! Great Video, love your content.
I had one of these in high school in 1979. 302 2 bbl. Loved it.
Thank you northern tools! Dylan’s vids are some of the best on UA-cam
Hello Dylan and Briar
Hey Dylan and Briar
It was cool meeting you two in the parking lot at the hotel. I had the Monte ss keep up the great shows
Excellent video Dylan :) , Bryer:) , think.1970 Ford Mustang lives on new adventures and cool car to enjoy with you both ! Plus would fix up to liking and much more too!
Thank you, Northern Tool.
Thank you Northern Tool. Top shelf as always sir!!
Thank you Northern Tools, great video Dylan , great car with a little help from your friends.
Love to see this car fixed up nice! A 70 mustang is so cool! I think you may have a modulator problem or no vacuum going to the modulator
Thanks Northern Tool!
Thank you northern tools! Beautiful unit!
It's comin back 2 life Dylan, runs good for what it is!!! It definitely deserves another chance at life. You n Briar saved another one🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 one 🛞 peel fun🎉🎉🎉🎉
Dylan, you are the McCoolest! Your SLAYERRRRR was on point!
Thank you Northern Tool
About Briar falling. You said it'd be kinda funny if he did. The old saying "It's all fun and games until somebody gets hurt. Then it's HILARIOUS".
Hey Dylan, I’m not sure if you connected a vacuum line to the vacuum modulator the vacuum modulator on the transmission controls the shift points
I did not!
You will have shifting issues if you don’t hook that up. Cool vid
Hey Dylan I have a suggestion, maybe when you do shots of the wheel well areas, you can set up a light bar hanging up and you won’t have to hold a light up and put it back down all the time!
Very cool car and worth a second life!! Nice work Dylan
Thank you Northern Tool. Excellent video.
Would be cool if you made a restoration video on it, and converting it into a fastback/sportsroof, I've seen way worse cars than that underneath, but leave it with the same motor and trans sort of a budget friendly route
Dylan, walking is good for you!!!!!!
Love the videos❤
Awesome! Lord be praised!
Of course the air is not going to work out of the coolant system because the cap is lower than the top of the radiator.
Yeah it took some work to get it to flow. Thankfully it finally did.
Watching u 2 is like watching the marx brothers. Lol.
It was nice meeting u 2 in ohio ty!
Awesome job guys... She needs a restore
Thank you northern tool and get this old girl running good
She is worth saving,an you guys are worth watching 😉.
Those wheels look so dang good on that Mustang
Love old fords period!!, That includes the foxbody also, That's a candidate for a restoration 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏, More fords and Mercury's.
7:41 hahahahahahaha Briar
Should've used a brass freeze plug, less likely to have recurring problems with them
Love the video's. Man i hope you find a 1972 charger and bring it back to life. My dad had a 72 charger and it's my dream car to own.
Dylon. Don't be scared of break cylinder rebuild kits. They worked just fine decades ago.
that's a nice new shed you got there
Hey Dylan thank you for the video it was good
Thank you Northern Tool!!
Sneaky Slayer cameo when dropping the transmission cover 😏
make sure the pan isn't warped from overytightening.
Way cool so. Much fun thanks 👍👍👍👍👍😊
When you put a new thermostat in make sure it has a bleeder valve at top or drill a 5/64 hole in the top of thermostat and it will help bleed off any air. REPLACE BALANCER IT WILL TARE IT A PART (bearings ) They are externally balanced engine.
I am surprised wheel cylinders were not available for a 1970 Mustang.
Yeah special order stuff! Thankfully they had rebuild parts.
@@DylanMcCoolVideo That is so weird with so many still on the road.
I think those wheels fit that car perfectly and will actually clean up quite nice when all is said and done…..im currently getting a ‘67 c code coupe up and road worthy after sitting over 25yrs …..my teenage son was dead set on a mustang and when a childhood friend realized his kids had zero intrests in it …..he offered it up to us first just to keep it in the family still…..we currently put a efi system on the 289 but are in the process of building up a late 90’s explorer roller cam 5.0 with all kinds of goodies like higher compression aluminum heads and flat tops ….hoping to squeeze 350hp out of it…..im a chevy guy myself so this ford stuff is a learning curve for me!!!! But theres always you tube and google when all else fails
Some people like to tighten valve cover pans, oil pans and trans pans to tight!
Thank you Northern Tool! 😎👍🐎🏎🏁🏁
Thank you northern tool!
Thank You Northern Tool
So we know Dylan is a Slayer fan @10:38 , old school Slayer 🤘
Awesome always cool stuff always thanks
Gosh o'mighty Briar is a FOX!!!! Very handsome!!
Thank you Northen Tool!
Thanks northen tools
Great job 👍💪!
She needs to be back to full road worthy. She's a good looking girl, and you need a Mustang and a Camaro to complete the Muscle Car collection.
Nice job to you sir good show 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍😃
Nice Slayer reference... respect.
Thank you Northern tool
Dillon if you go back and watch you can see at one point bryer points out the leak coming from the pan so maybe both spots were leaking
IMO, the 70 mustangs rode and handled better than the earlier ones.
Yes. I had the impression of a clean god fearing good ol boy. But when I heard him do first riff of raining blood, I laughed.
