@@mikenonya6382 Looks like a bunch of rain so far, but we're keeping an eye on it. Thanks for the kind words. Also, thanks for watching and commenting!
@peterselten500 I can't wait to drive it! Too bad we've got a storm coming through over the next couple of days. It'll happen, though! Thanks for watching and commenting!
So far, so good with the weather. Just lots of rain. Tropical storms don't normally do much damage in our area. It's mostly inconvenient and frustrating. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I am wanting to say my 1977 Ford Thunderbird with the 5.8 liter (351 c.i.d. Windsor) engine had a cast iron intake. My cousin's 1979 Diamond Jubilee Edition Thunderbird had an aluminum intake. My 1996 Grand Marquis does indeed have a plastic intake that has been replaced 3 times. I think on the 4.6 Panthers that was the first year for the plastic intake as 1995 had an aluminum intake. GREAT VIDEO!
@@lvsqcsl I truly appreciate your kind words. I remember the first time I saw a plastic intake manifold. It was on a 1997 Corvette with an LS1. I was sure that Chevrolet had signed their death warrant. Thirty years later, it's very common! Thanks again for watching us and commenting!
@@mohawkgarage The first time the manifold on the Marquis failed, I contacted Ford and every car that used that engine EXCEPT mine was covered under the recall. I then replaced it with one that had a metal crossover.
@kevindoxey These tires were the quickest to locate and get. I may still go with white walls, as I love them too! I'm getting it on the road asap. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thank you so much for checking out my channel! I just finished watching your diesel tractor video. I have a 1952 Ford 8N that used to be my dad's. I used to hotwire it and drive it into town when I was an 11-year-old boy growing up in Kentucky. I still use it constantly. There's something about old stuff, whether it's a car, truck, tractor, minibike, or whatever. Keep up the great videos!
@mohawkgarage Appreciate that. That's awsome man. I to enjoy anything old. I get lost in the electronics of the newer stuff. It's cool you still have the 8n.
@mohawkgarage That's awsome man. Little bit of everything. I will buy about anything lol. Only got to watch 2 videos so far. Had me laughing. Good content man
My ocd was kicking in when you said you going to cleanup the manifold area…and then you left all the crud behind as you put on the carb. Arrrrgggghhhh!!!!😫
@@michaeldecker2725 I noticed that after I watched the completed video! lol That's what I get for rushing to beat the storm. I'll clean it when we dry out a bit. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@michaeldecker2725 It has antifreeze in it. If you watch the closeup of the heater hose on the intake, you'll see it weeping slightly. It's getting all new hoses as soon as they arrive. Thanks for keeping an eye on things. Also, thanks for watching and commenting!
