Great video. Ol' girl is coming back to life. Stay safe during T.S. Debby.

[@mohawkgarage]

@@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!

[@TierodMcslush]

Runs smooth!

[@mohawkgarage]

@@TierodMcslush It's crazy how perfectly it runs. The carburetor rebuild did the trick!

[@RideAlong502]

Glad to see you got her running. Congrats.

[@mohawkgarage]

@@RideAlong502 Now all I have to o is get it driving and stopping! lol Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@danielulz1640]

Good to see it running so well. I hope that you made it through Debbie ok.

[@mohawkgarage]

Thankfully, all we got was a lot of rain. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@barberjeff67]

Cool wagon! I hope the tropical storm isn't too bad . We've had devastating flooding in Vermont.

[@mohawkgarage]

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!

[@oz1141]

Can't wait to see this old wagon back on the road.

[@mohawkgarage]

@oz1141 Same here! I sure wish the weather would cooperate. The hardest part is being patient. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@peterselten500]

Hi sean great to see it running . Cheers mate🇦🇺

[@mohawkgarage]

@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!

[@mr.hearse7512]

Sweeet sounds great

[@mohawkgarage]

@@mr.hearse7512 I'm so happy with how well it runs. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@bighank796]

I love this car. 390 s were good engines. If i was at a car show, that would be one of the first cars i would check out

[@mohawkgarage]

@@bighank796 It would grab my attention, too! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@theprinceofsnj]

So glad to see you got her up and running. Eagerly await your first drive.

[@mohawkgarage]

@@theprinceofsnj I'm fired up! I still have to dial in the brakes and gas tank, but that won't be difficult. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@Galona223]

She sounds Great!! Congrats!

[@mohawkgarage]

@@Galona223 I'm so impressed with the engine. It purrs! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@Galona223]

@@mohawkgarage Are you buying a new gas tank or try cleaning the original one ?

[@mohawkgarage]

@@Galona223 Gonna try to clean the original. Replacements are pretty hard to find. The wagon has lots of unique parts. Thanks again!

[@SquareMax]

Good video man. I save everything to. Its a disease. Between the storms and the heat, its a real struggle

[@mohawkgarage]

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!

[@SquareMax]

@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]

@SquareMax Most of my stuff is LS-based, but I also have a '31 Ford roadster hotrod. I'm all over the map. lol

[@SquareMax]

@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

[@mohawkgarage]

@SquareMax Your opinion means a lot to me, man. Thank you! I'm glad you like the videos!

[@lvsqcsl]

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!

[@mohawkgarage]

@@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!

[@lvsqcsl]

@@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.

[@mohawkgarage]

@@lvsqcsl I had a similar experience with a Lincoln Town Car. I remember that 4.6 engines did that often.

[@MetalMania3DTV-TAS-AUS]

Awesome its alive 😂 ❤

[@mohawkgarage]

Yeah, it's awesome! As soon as the brakes are sorted, it's going on a road trip! Thanks for watching and commenting, my friend!

[@MetalMania3DTV-TAS-AUS]

@@mohawkgarage you're welcome, and absolutely, I'm looking forward to it 🍻🇦🇺🦘🏔

[@kevindoxey]

Loving it but White walls would have really made her look great!

[@mohawkgarage]

@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!

[@michaeldecker2725]

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!!!!😫

[@mohawkgarage]

@@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]

Did we run that with no water in it?.

[@mohawkgarage]

@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!
