You and Kevin really need to stop talking about your sponsors at the beginning or the middle of your videos and start talking about your sponsors at the end of the videos like your supposed to do
Im glad to see this project again. The removal of the EFI system is a bigger project that I would have anticipated, but it’s something I was curious of how it was done.
Congratulations on your engagement, Kevin is a lucky lad to have such a wonderful soulmate. Ps. good on you for thinking of the kids, you are such a treasure.🌷
Kevin, you have an old head on young shoulders. I could sit and listen and watch you and Mook until the cows come home. Your knowledge and explanation of these old cars is second to none, cheers.
Love the chemistry between y’all, it’s legit what I’m looking for. Also I see a couple times you got to play the classic mechanic game, “why am I bleeding?” Great video as always
GOOD EPISODE! I learned quite a bit about installing aftermarket fuel injection from this video. In the mid 80's fuel injection was near magic and Edelbrock made one that gave Chev 350's a really solid kick in the pants. Again, back then FI was considered "near magic". Damn I'm a fossil!
i did a similar upgrade on my 81. had a 302 with an 86 efi bank fired system like this one had. i put in a weiand stealth intake, holley sniper kit, billet speed fx hei distributor, and also full length hooker headers with thrush welded mufflers turned down before the rear end. perfect old-school sound in my opinion. and my truck used to have the crappy aod trans and i put in a 5-speed from a 92 flareside. the 302 was from a 94 mustang so it has the roller cam in it. talk about waking up a truck. been running great for the last 5 years while only having to replace the o2 sensor after the first 11 months. anyway, love the videos and the work Mook does on vehicles. oh, almost forgot, get rid of the oem oil pump shaft and go with an ARP pump shaft to save yourself the future trouble of twisting the oem shaft in half like i did from having a heavy foot lmao keep them videos coming :)
I would highly recommend upgrading your alternator to the 3G version, the 2G are known to not charge very well. All you need is put some 3G plugs on your existing alternator wire and grind off a bit of the alternator bracket as the 3G one is a bit bigger, but it will bolt up once that is done. I did it myself and have had no troubles with it. It also opens up other upgrades like putting in a new radio or any other higher power draw upgrades you might think to do.
The 2G is known to start fires, in fact, the replacement wiring harness warns it can catch on fire so its best to get them off ASAP, I put a 3G on a 73 Econoline, learned they must use a serpentine belt tho, it will burn up a V-belt, must run at least 2 v-belts when using on a vintage engine.
@@brandonjohnston7746 I have a guy who builds mine, while you can find 200 amp 3G alternators on ebay, you will not find the guts to build one, they have been discontinued, which has me skeptical of what is sold online as a 200 amp 3G, I believe they just swap the pulley to spin them faster. I can tell you the durability of the 3G is like no other, my wheelchair cable, 2 gauge, fell on my exhaust, welding itself to it, boiled over my battery putting the alternator in over charge, I don't know how long it was like that, did not damage the alternator, won me over. I was going to put one on my 89 E150, but my shop guy told me it is not a 2G as it should be, its a special order large case found on RV's and Ambulances.
Been missing you, Mook! Great to see you on here again. You never fail to entertain even folk like me who are really not that ‘into’ motor mechanic stuff.
Very informative vid, I'm always interested in diagnosing electrical issues. Mook has ability and skill, essential for a mechanic. You guys make a great team, good stuff.
Those are dirt dauber nests. They are a cousin of the wasp but they don't sting at all. They are like the friendly version of the red wasp or paper wasp that do sting, so don't be afraid of them. Also, congrats on you two getting engaged. I thought you were already married until I saw the video with him proposing to you. Congrats! You both make an excellent couple and your videos show your shared passion for the craft. I look forward to more videos from both of you! Love you both!!!!
So from working on these 2G alternators myself and digging through forums, I'll give yall some helpful info. If the battery is dead and you try jump the car, its known to fry the 2Gs. It's best to recharge the battery, not jump. Its often typical to change both the battery and alternator in THIS type of setup. They also only go as high as like 110 amps depending on the model, usually around 75 amps for most. That's why people generally recommend installing a 3G and upgrading the gauge of wire for the charging system circuit.
I bought Hooker ceramic coated headers for my 95 351 project truck, would not clear the frame on passenger side, couldn't tighten them at all. Summit support was great, took them back and I tried Headman, those slipped right in from below without even needing to remove the starter. Sadly they didn't have a ceramic coated version. Cool project you have going
Mook thanks for sharing your video. Kevin is obviously a big help. And your not scared. Your one of the best duets on the tube. Got a little more to do. Thanks for sharing!
It's great seeing you working on your truck once again Mook👍 I'm looking forward to seeing how this Holly system turns out, I know it'll be great when it's done 👍✌️🇺🇲
Hey Mook and Kevin 🖐, way cool to see Mook out in the garage on her truck. It's always good to family in the shop helping and having a good time. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good videos. Have a great weekend 👋
Totally unrelated to the video, but I really hope you see this Mook. Just found Junkyard Digs/ your channel today because of that suicidal CBR golf cart contraption (which is awesome) and saw the Cutlass detail video. You two are fantastic and I wish you both the best. Honestly that gave me a proposal idea for my own girlfriend so, thank you both for being awesome in the most wholesome of ways.
That was a mud dauber nest. If you open it up it's full of zombie spiders. The mud dauber anesthetizes them so they stay alive but can't move. The larvae feed on them. There will be every kind of spider that lives in the area in there. Cool stuff. I thought you might like to know that since you like sliders, LOL!
I hate spiders, but Holy God of Chocolate, that's horrifying. I mean I just kill 'em, ZOMBIFY them and eat them alive? Wow, that's......nightmares for months for me.....😱😭
Nice work y'all. The old dist pickup also triggers the injector timing through the ICU on those years, if I recall correctly. Also controls dwell angle. Dwell got moved to the ECU with the black ICU modules.
i have an 88 f 150 with the same lame fi. i am rebuilding the top end and you inspired me to upgrade the fuel system. you might put a 3g upgrade on the alternator to put out 130 amps instead of 95.
I love what you're doing to the truck replacing the wayyy outdated fuel system! This is exactly what I've been wanting to do to my 91 F250 with the 460🤠These 87-91 Ford trucks don't get as much attention as they often deserve...I can't wait to hear it run again!
I definitely agree. Hell, my dad actually has 3 ford trucks from that time frame (an 1987 Bronco, 1988 F450, and a 1990 F350) and all three are running
Love your truck Mook, I imported an 87 F250 XLT LARIAT 460 into Australia, it’s wire with a red band and red trim too, I love the trim. I went with an 87 to avoid the prehistoric efi, I too have aftermarket efi, cam, manifold etc to fit to it, I’ve just fitted sniper to my 79 Vette, the Effie has atomic, I’ve had that before the sniper
Looking forward to updates on this undertaking. I feel the pains of EFI conversion. I bought a Holley commander 950 circa the mid 2000's. In the last 3 years I decided to redo things and do FiTech. It taught me A LOT about what a "bolt on and go" fuel injection system really demands from a vehicle.
Kinda funny, I swear the only thing that works on my 1993 F150 IS the EFI system! AC? Nope... Heat? Sure, if you want the fan on full blast. Power windows? Eh, kinda? The drivers side window seems to want to fall into the door, rear gas tank leaks, front one is plastic so it should last another 30 years before turning to dust, and don't get me started on the rest of the truck, especially the oil gauge, which is just having a moment and flailing wildly around, it works when you're cruising but at idle the oil pressure is "AAAAAAAHHHHH!".
Superduty bolt kit for the bed. Everything becomes accessible from above. Dorman 924311. You will have no regrets and they will work at least back to the 1973 model year with a slight modification to the width of the frame on the rear bolt only.
A lot of guys used to use RTV on top of the cork valve cover gasket (so it would adhere to the cover), and use grease on the side of the gasket facing the head (axle grease will seal in motor oil). This was to facilitate more convenient (and less messy) valve adjustments, as well as not needing to replace the gasket every single time.
Mook I always look forward to your videos. Your random corkiness is something that always makes my day I am looking forward to the next video that is a very nice truck. The shenanigans in your videos adds something special that is for sure.
Thank you Mook for your great content. If Kevin is going to keep outsourcing his hosting, he should totally outsource it to you, you make a great host, plus you work on cars and trucks. Great Job. 👍
Regarding the factory bed mount bolts, one can use Torx head bolts and U-nuts in place of the original style shoulder bolts & nuts that are so prone to becoming one piece. I have done this with a couple of OBS truck beds and sourced my bolts & nuts from late '90s Rangers. Remember to also use a proper anti-seize compound when reinstalling the bed.
okay i have the 91 version of this exact truck.... this alone helps me so damn much and just want to say YOU GO GIRL (talking to mook) pushing that truck by your self even a few inchs is a feat!!
That’s a nice truck I’m glad you see You back working on it again, can’t wait to hear it going again, also congrats to you and Kevin if you didn’t see it on his channel!
It is so good to hear you are on the mind, I think it is amazing you are a mechanic I have two daughters and I tried to "show" them a few things on my F150 1996 with that straight 6, i loved it have been looking for another, I sold mine years ago 😭. Take care of yourself Mook, and congrats on pending hitching. Bill
If I remember correctly a 4.0 90's Ford Explorer belt is the correct length for the air pump delete. (I had a 89 myself) In those years there is a aluminum piece in the column that actuates the ignition switch that cracks and breaks causing them not to crank as it can't push the switch hard enough. Tilting the column up might temporarily help.
I have an 87’ regular cab, with the exact same paint job. It’s the 300 inline six with a 4speed. Had to clean the fuel switching valve. It was pumping fuel from the front tank to the rear tank.
I put one of the FI Tech setups (when these bolt on efi setups had just come out) on my 302 Ford ranger and used a HEI dizzy setup and lit right off, made things so easy to wire.
While in this case it did not work, it is always surprising how often whacking something with a hammer/pliers/chunk of wood can temporarily clear up an issue in older vehicles. My buddy had an old Rabbit with a dedicated starter-whacking board.
That red interior is in emaculate condition bright red carpet isn't faded most of them are faded to pink from the 80s good looking old Ford Mook @Junkyard Mook
Hey Mook, glad to see you and your brother working together, you make a good team. Kevin helping was a bonus 👍!!! Can’t wait to hear that classic run on its own. It’s going to sound awesome. Great video 😁
I've got a 90 F150 4x4 extra cab and had problem with fuel it ended up being the switch on the dash. I had to test it a lot cause it wouldn't do it every time and that's with the switch being out and on my bench. Then I couldn't find the right replace switch with the right face so I had to take apart the old and the new switches and modify to fit and that took care of it. I would have like to have seen all of the removing of the fuel lines and everything you did. Sorry for this being long. You done the right thing by going with the long tube headers I'm putting on the shorty "bolt in" headers and one side is not the same as the other right is smaller and mine was a true dual exhaust now I'm stuck until move funds are found for new exhaust it could use it but it still had some life left but the new shorty's still look good under the hood 👍
We had a 98 v-6 ford fuel injected car. Almost all the plug ins under the hood would crack and break when you went to unplug them, so frustrating. I removed the intake to cleanup and replace injectors then ended up just reassembling and driving it down to use as a trade in. The heat buildup under the hood must have weakened the plastic connectors and the snap locks would break.
Looking forward to seeing this completed. Been wanting to update the EFI on my 95 150 5.8. Factory injection on these are so limited and restrict most bolt ons. Thanks for the content as always and glad to see ya back Mook. Oh, and congrats to the both of you on the engagement.
95 will have a roller cam, the two 95 5.8 I have had out lasted the bodies 95 Bronco 280k miles 95 E350 400k miles, both motors and transmissions live on in other vehicles.
I just finally got to watch the video it's good that you are putting on all those good ass parts and Kevin is a lucky man to have you you are so gorgeous and funny and love the new haircut keep putting out the videos
Makes me miss my Ferd straight six 4 speed manual. Mine was the two tank flavor, believe it or not I had absolutely no issues with any part of the fuel system. My only complaint with the ol girl was condensation in one headlight assembly blowing the bulb with any bump. I tried everything from silicone to replacing the entire assembly with no change
This truck brings back memories my dad had one like this except it was blue and going out hauling wood with it getting it stuck, boy i miss that truck treat her well xD
LOve your channels - but you know that! One thing that amazes me is how easy/straight forward it is ti get the correct spare parts for such veteran (old) vehicles! O'Riellies seem to have parts - in stock - of trucks going back decades.... Is this typical in the US??? And.... couldn't you have spayed the rocker covers black??
You put a fuel pressure regulator on. So turn the key on and adjust the pressure. Check grounds and it has to have the vacuum hose. And drill the header and run a O2 sensor in.

Once you get the truck running and sorted out could you give us a list of parts with part #’s.
You and Kevin really need to stop talking about your sponsors at the beginning or the middle of your videos and start talking about your sponsors at the end of the videos like your supposed to do
You shouldn’t have needed the pressure regulator with that holly
I’m pretty sure you’re having the same problem I am
Bless you Mook for donating the hair. Our special needs daughter did this by her own decision. It brought smiles to our faces!
It also keeps Mook safe by preventing her hair from getting into moving drive belts.

It's always a good day when Mook uploads a new video. Glad to see this truck back on the channel.
Same I've got a 91 f150 5.0 im fixing up to sell. Cool to watch how someone else repairs things on them vs how I do .
Mook is just adorable. Kevin is a lucky man. Keep doing the thing, y’all!

While in this case it did not work, it is always surprising how often whacking something with a hammer/pliers/chunk of wood can temporarily clear up an issue in older vehicles. My buddy had an old Rabbit with a dedicated starter-whacking board.
That red interior is in emaculate condition bright red carpet isn't faded most of them are faded to pink from the 80s good looking old Ford Mook @Junkyard Mook
Hey Mook, glad to see you and your brother working together, you make a good team. Kevin helping was a bonus 👍!!! Can’t wait to hear that classic run on its own. It’s going to sound awesome. Great video 😁
To be honest I wanted more carnage haha 🤪
Good to see you again good luck with the trucks see you soon
I've got a 90 F150 4x4 extra cab and had problem with fuel it ended up being the switch on the dash. I had to test it a lot cause it wouldn't do it every time and that's with the switch being out and on my bench. Then I couldn't find the right replace switch with the right face so I had to take apart the old and the new switches and modify to fit and that took care of it. I would have like to have seen all of the removing of the fuel lines and everything you did. Sorry for this being long. You done the right thing by going with the long tube headers I'm putting on the shorty "bolt in" headers and one side is not the same as the other right is smaller and mine was a true dual exhaust now I'm stuck until move funds are found for new exhaust it could use it but it still had some life left but the new shorty's still look good under the hood 👍
Glad ya axed the smog pump . I have an 89 f350 that I've been thinking of doing the modern FI on , it's good to know I can scale the harness back alot
JUNKYARD MOOK ROCKS...SHE'S CRAZY AND COOL!!!!
We had a 98 v-6 ford fuel injected car. Almost all the plug ins under the hood would crack and break when you went to unplug them, so frustrating. I removed the intake to cleanup and replace injectors then ended up just reassembling and driving it down to use as a trade in. The heat buildup under the hood must have weakened the plastic connectors and the snap locks would break.
Had a 92 GMC same color up here in Ontario Canada 305 oil burner,but one reliable old beast for 1000 bills,steal.Great truck
Thanks MOOK for donating to the hair fund. You are an ANGEL. jb
Looking forward to seeing this completed. Been wanting to update the EFI on my 95 150 5.8. Factory injection on these are so limited and restrict most bolt ons. Thanks for the content as always and glad to see ya back Mook. Oh, and congrats to the both of you on the engagement.
95 will have a roller cam, the two 95 5.8 I have had out lasted the bodies 95 Bronco 280k miles 95 E350 400k miles, both motors and transmissions live on in other vehicles.
Yeah I've had an 87 and a 94 F150 and anything before 96 is crap once they get miles on them. They can't really compensate for engine wear
I like where this truck is heading. I like this era of F-150 extended cab.
G3 Alternators are an easy mod and the regulators are on the outside for effortless removal (Cheap to replace as well). :)
Mook you're absolutely adorable! I'm a fan of your and Kevin's stuff
Congrats Mook! You guys are an awesome pair !
I just finally got to watch the video it's good that you are putting on all those good ass parts and Kevin is a lucky man to have you you are so gorgeous and funny and love the new haircut keep putting out the videos
Mook fine after pushing drives it out lol 😆 loves the mookster xx
Makes me miss my Ferd straight six 4 speed manual. Mine was the two tank flavor, believe it or not I had absolutely no issues with any part of the fuel system. My only complaint with the ol girl was condensation in one headlight assembly blowing the bulb with any bump. I tried everything from silicone to replacing the entire assembly with no change
This truck brings back memories my dad had one like this except it was blue and going out hauling wood with it getting it stuck, boy i miss that truck treat her well xD
This is an awesome project, been waiting for Mook to get back to the Nova but this will do nicely!
Merry Christmas Mook & Happy new year, hope you & Kevin have a great one 😀 😊 👍 ✌️🤘🤘🤘👍👍👍
LOve your channels - but you know that! One thing that amazes me is how easy/straight forward it is ti get the correct spare parts for such veteran (old) vehicles! O'Riellies seem to have parts - in stock - of trucks going back decades.... Is this typical in the US??? And.... couldn't you have spayed the rocker covers black??
Pretty impressive...lots of work involved
You put a fuel pressure regulator on. So turn the key on and adjust the pressure. Check grounds and it has to have the vacuum hose. And drill the header and run a O2 sensor in.
