Man something about your energy and personality is so wholesome. I don't care what the hell you're doing but you guys are the type of friends i wish i had
Come on Mook! Lets see some more content! Mr. Digs is a great wrencher but you take his videos to the next level...so you should charge him for appearances! Ignore the critics, you're awesome!
Thank you for your videos, they remind me of when my daughter got her first car... 1988 Dodge Duster. We had some great father, daughter time. She did all four brakes, plugs, cap, rotor and wires. Oil and filter. We had to replace some brake lines, so she learnd how to splice and bend brake line. She also took out the factory radio and put in a aftermarket AM/FM / CD player. So Mook keep up the good work and keep the videos coming
I just bought an almost 40 year old truck and it’s nice to see another lady workin on one. Love the old guys with lots of knowledge on here but we need more of us lol so thanks for being on here !! yay!
You are one in a million Mook. A young woman who loves to turn wrenches. And on old Ford trucks no less. I have owned Ford trucks all of my life. I have a 1977 F250 at this time. Watching you work brings back good memories of my younger days.
A 2bbl, big block 2wd is to me the worst of all worlds. sucks gas, bad traction etc. I sold a 400 2wd ford in favor of my 225, 4wd dodge and am really glad I did! the Dodge has much better traction even BEFORE shifting it into 4wd! but the 4wd sucks as much gas as the big engine, so that part sucks.
I have the exact same carb on my 61 Galaxie, and just rebuilt it with the same kit. Love the simplicity of these. I converted mine to manual choke for even less complication. I got rid of the exhaust butterfly valve and tapped the exhaust manifold hole for the choke heat tube and put a bolt in it. Works great.
PPE is needed by both of you! Gloves, goggles, and maybe even a respirator (mask). It's fun watching you two resurrect some of these rust-buckets in Iowa. I suppose they have lower miles than usual and look the way they do due to the harsh winters of Iowa. I know, I grew up in IL. Here in CA, my 1994 Ford Bronco only has some minor surface corrosion underneath, and the tailgate has rust that has formed (inside) due to trapped water. However, I just bought a new metal tailgate (painted primer black from factory) and will be painting it white (color of the truck), and installing all new innards (window motor, regulator, rubber trim etc).
Mook Has a really nice way about her and I think she’s a great addition to your channel collaboration. I wish you all the best. I watch thunderhead 289 as well
I remember when carb dip actually worked before they took out all the good stuff. There was nothing left on the carb after a 45 minute soak. It took off everything with no scrubbing. It looked like new. I used Gunk the last time and it worked about the same as yours.
I have one of those off a 66 f100 352 v8 that is in perfect shape! It’s also for a automatic. 55F means 55 thousandth drill bit size. That was how autolite measured there jets! Same with Holley carbs!
II worked in a Ford truck junkyard for 18 years. And when you take the carb off and you open up the throttle plates and dirt falls from the throttle bores that is dirty!! But I loved this!!!!! Today nobody knows what a carburetor is. They don’t teach that in schools now. So keep it up
This brings back so many memories! The last carb I rebuilt was a Holley two barrel I had on my 77 Lincoln Mark V... yep I said two barrel, not four....
Yeah this was Ford's way of trying to increase fuel mileage before they went to fuel injection in the early 80's. I had an old f-150 with a four barrel 460 that got better mileage than my Gran Torino with a 400 two barrel. Go figure.
If im right...the square tag is the carb part number to use when ordering parts that came on it when it left the factory. Every motorcrap carb ive built had one.
@@Jerkwad152 Every decent carb rebuilder that I know of is backed _way_ the hell up. Even some of the . . . not-so-good ones have more business than they can handle.
I love the fact that Mook isn't afraid of getting her hands dirty. She is not scared of getting dirt or grease under her finger nails. Very rare to find a woman like that. Don't lose her....
Carburetors are easier to work on than Fuel Injection. My last truck I owned I retired it with 762K miles with a Carburetor on a 454 Big Block Chevy Power House. It only got 6 MPG. I have always worked on my own vehicles up until my retirement. Now I have my first Fuel Injected Truck, which I’ll leave it up to the Kids to fix when needed, I have no Exp in Multi-Port Fuel Injection systems, first time to get 26 MPG now, Last and final Truck I’ll ever own. A young lady like Moog doing “OldSchool” Mechanics is a wonderful sight, Thank You.
Too bad they don't know what carb cleaner in a spray can is for. You sure as hell don't want water in your carb when your trying to rebuild one. BAD CHOICE!!
ive seen much much worse. I once had a Pontiac 389 tri-power that was so filthy...all 3 carbs had between an 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch of dirt inside the bowl plus the exterior was coated in oily gunk. I had to soak the bodies for 2 days in carb cleaner just to break all the gunk down. and no, I wasn't the one who got them like that, I bought the engine carbs n all off of a guy. after the rebuild of the carbs they would stay in tune for about a week before I had to adjust them all over again. I wound up replacing them for a high rise single 4bbl n life was so much better....that is until a damn crane fireball cam lifter exploded causing engine ending damage. ill never trust another crane product again. keep the videos comin mook, you rock.
Those tags were on brand new carbs and indicated the calibration level of the carb. May be OEM. There are no simpler carburetors out there than the Motorcraft 2V.
What man wouldnt love Mook for a wife. She's funny, always up for an offroad adventure or backyard shananagins, and has an adorable, infectious smile. Well done sir! I LOVE YOU MOOK
9:59 LMAO! But in a way it's true. My I remember my father doing a partial rebuild of a carb on a 70's Ford truck sometime in the 80's and he purposely set the carb on fire after cleaning it as part of the process!
@@dblaandy I have NOT got an ultrasonic cleaner as of this date. It is a wonderful machine to REALLY clean a small part. HF has 'em, but get a big one. Great for many small parts. Want them clean? Get one.
The Autolite 2100/Motorcraft 2150 carburetors are fairly simple, easy to maintain, easy to work on, and easy to rebuild. I was never a fan of the brass bowl float, it could develop a leak and end up sinking. The phenolic resin replacement floats are better. Good job with the rebuild.
Well done Mook,a fantastic example of how girls can be able to successfully diagnose,disassemble, and clean, reassemble any malfunctioning component of a older classic machinery, have a 1958 fordson tractor, that needs a new clutch,when you have a weekend spare Mook,the jobs yours,kindest Regards,Dave McLaughlin, Queensland Australia
Got an Autolite 2brl with fresh build setting on the shelf. Just replaced it with an Eddie Performer RPM and Eddie Performer 600 cfm 4 brl. Those were great carbs. Just needed my FE to breath a little better. LOL Great work guys!
Ya know... I stumbled upon your videos the day before yesterday and from the very first one I saw I DIED LAUGHING with you guys! I have owned MANY of those late 60s and 70s ford trucks with the 390 FE motor and 360 in them and even to this day you cannot show me a better, stronger, more reliable engine. If you keep everything maintained those engines will run as long as any diesel will. I LOVE those old trucks. And I love your personalities too. Brand new subscriber here. Thank you for this wonderful entertainment. Y'all are awesome, especially that hilarious girl! She cracks me up!!!
recent rebuild. Rubber pump check valve. older motercraft/ holleys would of been a check ball. Love yours guys energy btw. keep the content rolling. Mook as an 18 yr ase tech, i can tell you have great talent or awesome teacher, Always great to see people to learn the trade.
I used that carb dip before. Like 15 years ago. Everything was too gummy in my experience. I've used 91 gasoline and brake cleaner since. And old toothbrushes. Love the content! I can't seem to get enough from the group of you. So glad it popped up in my recommended months ago. "Subscribe I suppose." 😂
Poor mook , she cold 😢 but she's a hearty mid western gal , she'll be fine , God bless her . Got to love a woman who can rebuild a carburetor . No fear , you rock girl ! Revision added to the instruction sheet of the carburetor rebuild kit : ALWAYS set the float bowl on fire before reassembly . Just do it , don't ask why , it'll just work .
The old chem dip would actually destroy/eat metal if left in too long. The new stuff is alright but I brush it before rinsing it and WEAR GLOVES! Doing great Mook, new subscriber here. Got recommend from VGG
Before you do much to the green machine , have you drain the transmission fluid . Being the motor was full on water the transmission is likely flooded too.
@@JunkyardMook You have beautiful fingernails like my Mom had, take care of them from the harsh chemicals. I had a few carburetors in my time, I think at least looked like yours before re-build.
That’s a nice “diehard” batree you got there In the beginning of the video. I say that because advance auto/carquest just swapped brands to diehard. I remember taking all the carquest stickers off and put the diehard stickers on the battery’s we had in stock.

That dirty carburetor was probably quite good when it was last rebuilt in 1975 :) Nice work in cleaning and rebuilding it, Mook and Kevin.

He bought a house with her! Great first step.
He could hide it in a carb as she's doing a rebuild.

I will find a girl that's into cars and not afraid to dirty her hands , props to her !
I use an electrolysis tank to clean the carburetor. I originally built it to strip cast iron. Works really well.
Mook has a beautiful smile and great attitude
Carb build number 6? You put that one together like it was #60! Well done!!
