What makes your videos and channel so great is the fact it’s relatable to the vast majority. While larger channels are cool to watch not all of us are on that level. Most of us are saving, doing what we can, learning as we go, small garages or dirt driveways. So props to you man.
Quite a transformation. Lots of sweat equity, not much money. Always love to see " somebody's been here before " in the wiring. Especially when they skip fuses.
Looks way better. One of the first thing we usually do after chasing gremlins is clean up and get rid of what we don't need and neatly tuck away what we do. Really cleans the look of any engine bay and makes it so much easier to work on. She's coming right along nice.
Got to love someone else's bright ideas for wiring. At least there was real wire and not extension cord pieces. A little elbow grease and a few cheap rattle cans will make a BIG difference. Looking good.
I lived in Arizona and used 2 butt connectors under my truck. It didn't take too long for the connectors to get corroded, turn green, and I was left with an electrical issue. Since then all of my connections are soldered, shrink tubed, and covered with plastic wire loom. It takes longer to do but well worth the effort, if you never want wire issues in your car. Keep learning and improving, it's one of the secrets to a great life.
Don't forget, butt connectors are sturdy and they to can break wires with a lot of vibration. I always put soldered wires in a wire conduit and have never had an issue with any vibrations.
Good work.I suggest rubber bungs to close off all those holes.Second get a fender liner installed now that the wiring is passin thru there.Otherwise crap n water will get into the connectors.Also build a shade over that gravelled area where you park your cars to save them some ultra violet radiation!!!
This whole "wire tuck" was a joke and half assed, i hope people dont watch this and think this is the way to do things. Ffs dude said it costed him 40 bucks, COSTED!
You did a great job under the hood of the mustang, it looks beautiful now and I like how you painted it flat black that really makes the motor stand out. Keep up the great work on your videos and God Bless 🔥💯💪🏼👍👍🙏🙏✌
Amazing job sorting that wiring result is really good looking. On your fan you can build a circuit to turn it on. For three or four dollars you can buy a temp sensor switch that will ground at a given temp. Plumb it in the cooling system somewhere. Then from there all you need is a 30 amp relay fuse and some wire run a pos from the battery to relay then to switch so when it grounds it closes the relay. Power from bat to fuse to relay to fan to ground to run the fan when the relay closes your done. Run this set up on my 86 Firebird.
You can use a 4 or 3 AN braided brake line for oil pressure gauge , they don't leak of break. Painting radiator core I would think cause more heat to be trapped in it.
just got done working on my 72 f100 the trucks all prepped to replace floor pans and the beds all ready to come off just waiting on some friends to come out and help.
You did a amazing job on the wiring looks sooo much better ! I’m hoping your not going to sell it I would love to see you bring this thing all the way back to complete finish .. you do such great work would love to see lots of videos of all of it !! 👍
Nice Vijeo young man, thanks for posting. Sounds like you just need to disable the VATS if it has one ...the chip just needs reflashed. If that is the problem
Coming along just take the rattle can to the hood and the front bumper it'll buy you time before a full tear down proper paint job... also gt ground effects and bumpers would be nasty give it that lower appearance but it's looking good keep it up!!
Fuel pump relay is under drivers seat, Wide Open throttle/AC relay is on passenger side near CAI. Check your fusible links, should be 4 that goes to solenoid. Also the ecu has a few grounds, one to negative batt terminal if it’s not butchered and one off of injector harness that goes to firewall. Also there is an ECU relay tucked way up in kick panel above ECU.
Hey buddy, use motorcraft there is a reason Ford uses it. Look at test they are at the top for quality and not near as much as wix. Seeing it on a motor is a good sighn. Dont fall in to the price hype. Ran them on everything from stock to boosted 800 hp. I also run motorcraft synth oil. Never had a failure.
Get the air filter to full cold air access. The amount of heat you are sucking in will surprise you. On a 40F degree day my engine / efi was pulling in 80-90F.. imagine that on your 100F days.
Nice work Craig. May want to wrap that wire up under the wheel well there but love all you did. Hope you're back on the Galaxy's soon :-) RU-vid is covered with foxbody stangs but the Galaxy's are fewer and further between :-) Such great looking cars and with the right motor [talk some about the motors soon please?]. :-) All the Best!
Love the mustang... that hood looks like its been fixed alot of times. Cowl hood looks ok on mustang if it does not have that 2 step style cowl. 1 inch normal cowl would look great in your car... slowly clean it up and make it solid and reliable. A/C is one if the first things I would add after getting the electrical and engine bay sorted, even if I had to use a vintage air setup it would be worth it..
Look for a missing ground on the fuel pump.. the first gen fuel injected fords had a ground that went straight to the negative on the battery... I fought one for about 2 weeks after reassembling my 87..... Hooked up the ground and boom it started...smh moment number 305..
I don't know if you decide to stay with black for the car but if you were to paint it the viper blue or the sonic blue would look really good on it and you can keep an all black interior and you would be good maybe throw some silver in there somewhere so it ties in the wheels to it but it'll look good
Nice work. I have this engine in my 1990 Ford Ranger extended cab. I'm digging your Ford truck in the background. What year is it? Looks to be between 68 and 70.
Are you sure that was a speed control for the radiator fan? It looked more like the fan temperature control. I had one like it on a Datsun 30 years ago. Turning the knob changed the temperature at which the fan turned on.
If you're going to reuse the radiator it's better to dump the fluid from the lower rad hose rather than the bung. The bung ports have a habit of shearing off the rad tank.
So i actually double checked the oil filter theory about wix and fram, because i remembered actually watching videos about whats inside them before i bought a filter... I have to say i was surprised because i thought fram was pretty decent, but it turns out only the gold ones are of somewhat good quality, the rest is trash. Same with wix the xp line seems to be fine. But alot of the seem to have rust issues.... I will defnetly buy motorcraft in the future
Hey not sure if any told you yet, but your battery install is fire hazard, those cable (positive) should be away from the metal inner fender. just saying hate see you have a melt down., yep cleaned up nicely, at least you have hold downs.
