I think it’s interesting you favor the factory type brake combo valve over the Wilwood type adjustable, good info.

Thanks for sharing, it always the little. One year before putting car away. The heater core puked on floor. Toke it home and bypassed it. Put it away.. added it to the list.

I preach the element fire extinguisher. Two small ones on each side. Lightweight. No pressure vessel inside car. Like halon it doesn’t leave residue, either.

One tool you should of mentioned is a 12v test light. Besides basic lighting problems you can used it to diagnose ignition problems just by probing the pos and neg sides of the coil

Hey now, I wouldn't be cracking all them FIAT jokes there, Mr. Ford man. Mr Fix Or Repair Daily. Mr Found Only Red Dust. OK, I'm done. Time to go work on the dentside - ironically one of my less rusty vehicles, at least where it counts...

Spare tire! While many of us have one, what is its condition? Does it have air? Are you traveling with the original 50 year old tire in the trunk? Spare, wheel diameter: I know of an instance where the spare was required, however the front discs were upgraded ( larger) and those 14” or even 15” wheels are a no go and the rear wheels, due to width/offset would not fit, in essence they did not have a spare for the front Search out a good space saver spare, they’ll fit both front & rear and get you down the road far enough for repair or replacement

1968 GT 500 KR convertible. Ford only made 318 of them. My favorite Mustang.

Great information as always 😊

They lost me when they disected a joke.n🤔🙄

I think having a shakedown period is becoming even more important these days because of issues many of us are having with new parts failing. For example, two projects I've completed recently, an old Ford Van and a WWII Ford GPW (Jeep) So far all of the problems we have encountered are related to new parts failing. And these are parts bought from reputable companies, not eBay specials. The Jeep in particular is problematic because the vast majority of parts out there now are repro. At least my van I have been able to track down NOS parts. Now on the subject of what to carry, a tow strap can be invaluable.

Great video guys.

Purple K fire extinguisher.... yeh parts and tools have saved me often but I'm special lol

Go with confidence - get a AAA membership. With the premiere plan you get one 200 mile tow and three 100 mile tows each year.

Thanks for the video! Just for fun, Id include servicing bearings on the safety checklist. One of the scariest parts that can fail unexpectedly. My experience with my 78 F250 taught me this the hard way just two weeks ago. No one got hurt and I made it to my destination in Pensacola but not before a 4-hour pit stop under the Georgia summer sun, replacing bearings in an O'Reilly's parking lot. Lololol good times!

A great subject, thanks guys! Here's a few more points: Some folks run without a spare tire, not a great idea. We know most new vehicles no longer have them, but that's no excuse. If you are running a Pertronix Ignitor, carry an extra... or the old set of points to get you home. A good flashlight, and a warning red flasher to put behind you. A spare alternator belt; it's just cheap insurance. Things to check before the trip: Steering coupler (rag joint). They deteriorate over time, brake fluid leaks will hasten that. How old is the master cylinder? If it's a cast one, when was it replaced last? They rust over time... just one particle of rust plugging a brake line orifice... you ain't stoppin' one day, brother. There's more, as we're sure many readers will add to this list.

Luv u guys Great stuff 👍

14:27 That was my first tool box and I still have it 😎

Great content Luv u guys 👍

Suggestion for another video, top (ten+) safety improvements to original vehicles (my 66 Ford f100): 1. three point safety belts, strongly agree with you 2. Fire extinguisher 3. radial tires that are not outside age limits 4. Dual master cylinder and front disc brakes 5. Sway bars preferably on both front and rear 6. Move gas tank outside cab 7. Install Head rests on seat. (I used your video to install a 1994 f150 seat with head rests) 8. Install cat 3 receiver hitch to protect gas tank installed under bed. 9. Add third stop light on receiver hitch 10. Install a safety roll over shut off switch for fuel pump 11. Install an efi engine to eliminate carburetor problems

I was fortuned to have my 68 Mustang in episode 347. We live in Ocala and have taken our Mustang to North Georgia and to Alabama. Our first Mustang was our 65 that we had for our wedding. We drive this one the same as our first. They are good traveling cars. We have no regrets taken it on long trips on vacation. Just maintain it as with any car or mechanical vehicle. Keep up the good shows. We are currently repainting and did a rain gutter delete. Last year I did a complete cooling system rebuild, runs and stay cool as design, no problems.

Tires are my number one concern. Especially on a long trip.

I like to have some battery powered magnetic hazard lights in the trunk if you lose a battery at night.

08:58 Thanks for showing this tip!! I had the same situation on a Nissan 240sx. The manual impact hammer got 3 of the 4 screws off, which used some type of serrated locking washer. The last screw was completely rounded off. I was really trying to avoid to welding a nut on there. After drilling the head off, the stub easily spun off.

The 1970 M code engine had 300 hp with 11-1 compression and 64 cc chambers , the 1971 M code rated 285 hp 10.5 Compression and 66 cc Chambers. These heads are the ones that have closed chamber and a Dot.

My first car was a '62 Fairlane Sports Coupe . It was scheduled to be scrapped .Two door , blown 221 3 spd . I bought it and myself and two friends pushed it home (about a mile) . I saved some money and picked up a 351 W and a top loader 4 spd. . I loved that car , my Dad wanted me to sell it when I went into the Navy , so I did and still regret it .

My cousin bought a '64 Sprint , red w/ black interior when he got back from Vietnam in '69 . I was in 8th grade and I thought it was a pretty cool car .

There's a guy (probably in his mid '60's) who has a '64 Sprint that has been sinking into the ground for as long as I can remember . I've tried to buy it a few times , but he said he'd never sell it .

I live in upstate NY and own a '74 F350 that I saved from a local yard. I'll just say what you have is one fine, low rust truck good sirs. Edit: and yes mine is a 390 - not because I listened to anybody, but because I ran the bloody codes and inspected what I had lol

I'm doing a one piece floor and toe boards in my 62 wagon, the toe boards leave a little to be desired.

Aint no dam way I'm gonna watch a fast forward with no voice for teaching and listen to that stupid music for 30 mins. I came to learn how to take apart a set of heads? I made it to 3.33 and I'm out LOL!

I have used envirosafe in the past and it works quite well. It has to be installed exactly how the manufacturer says, otherwise it separates into the components and won't cool. I had that problem and I had to vent the system, pump it down, then recharge it.

Nice hot start I said hot start on your C10 Chevrolet

I wish my cab mounts were that good 😂 I can stick my hand through it it’s so rusted

Jeff, my favorite car.

Ha, drain the sump first next time, plus remove the sump before the timing cover boy, you aint wrenchin on a ford now....

Hi guys, that number at the rear of the block ending in 010, indicates a 4 inch bore only, so dependant on crank could be 302,327 or 350 as standard....

I have a 0.60 Reed Cam 289 1965 Mustang. It obviously can run hot. I put a two long row Cold Case aluminium radiator and Spal 30102049 electric fan. Ran great till the electric fan stopped working and I blew a head gasket. I did not see too much lost in power with the electric fan. I talked with Summit Racing and they said an odd blade fan pulls more air. So I am going for a high flow water pump, five blade Hypo 289 steel fan with their fiberglass shroud. I live in Orlando and it is hot. But the two big things are constant rush hour traffic and rude drivers. You have to keep an eye on these people bullying and stopping fast all the time. Hence I did not notice the water temp gauge. I have plenty of power so I don't care about parasitic loss. Thank you for your great videos.

Did you put that retaining ring back on? I don't know what it's called or what it's function is.

Legendary Ford was a great magazine, I still have quite a few issues.

Here's another tip taught to me at ETMS school: Take your wire cutters and trim one of your acid brushes so only about 1/4" of brush is left. The remaining brush is a lot stiffer amd works better. The full length brush is too soft for what you're doing here.

I disagree the 64 Falcon is beautiful. But I know where you are coming from. Blood sweat and tears say a lot. And paint prices are crazy insane. My boss and I put an interior in a car where the paint was $8000 dollars a gallon that's right I said $8000. It is a gorgeous red but come on. Thanks for the back story Jeff.

Looks to me like it’s name should be Falco…

Disagree, I love the front end on a 64!

That's a 55 not a 57!

Sexy,❤❤I’m, in love,,ha,ha,😂

Enjoy the show ! Especially this episode , I know exactly where your coming from !! 👍

I love my 64 falcon convertible. red with the Wimbledon white strip and top

I’m getting ready to do the brakes on my 67 mustang. I’ve pulled the hubs and looked. There are no self adjusters on it. Do some just not have self adjusters or did someone do it wrong along the line
