excellent. its so good to see younger guys still doing this stuff

[@davidsteinhour5562]

Can't tell you how much I prefer your soundtrack to the Boomer stuff that typically accompanies 60s Mustang culture

[@autoraysgarage8938]

Hey I appreciate that a lot

[@alfinpogform4774]

Thank you. I thought this would be an easy install to tackle by working it out as I go along, but your video gives me some extra confidence in tackling the job!

[@shinobisekiro9896]

This was helpful! I was gonna take the whole thing out to change the fuel sending unit. lol

[@dosher101]

really good job on videos.

[@justtinkering6054]

I need to do this to my 66. Thank you. Very informative.

[@web5271]

Thank you sir; it was very helpful to see the orientation of how the sensor went in. My 67 has been sitting for 12 years and I felt the need to replace the tank, sender, lines, and pump. Reason: I took that old sender out and it was a rusty as could be. I'm not putting fuel from all of that into a $ 7000 stroked/forged/everything edelbrock engine.

[@autoraysgarage8938]

Glad video helped and your motor sounds bad ass hopefully you have back in the road soon

Excellent video. Glad to see your intrest. I've been working on Mustangs since 1972. If you ever want any tips for modifications, contact me. I can set up a front end using original parts that will make it handle. Also get a Duro Spark distributor and put a MSD 6A ignition box on it. Maverick disc brakes work great for the front.

[@autoraysgarage8938]

Thanks I been looking into upgrading to a dura spark I just been doing research to make sure I gather the correct parts

[@crisrivaz]

I have question over a specific problem I'm having,here it goes. I have a issue where my car struggles to start right away,and I pumped it three or 6 pumps times and it take a long time to start,could it be my timing? Thank you!

[@autoraysgarage8938]

Mine struggle on cold starts as well but I know the Manuel choke on my carb is broke so I figure that was the problem and never looked further into the issue. I suggest getting a timing gun and seeing what your timing is at and go from there to dial it in to see if it helps

[@hoonistank6730]

Yes perfect. same exact thing for me in my 65. fuel gauge dropped - took out the old sender - plastic float with fuel in it - replaced. i just filled my tank when it happened tho and the drain plug is frozen so had to pump it out 5 gal at a time - thanks for the vid

[@autoraysgarage8938]

that sucks about the drain plug, i was actually surprised it had a drain plug when i climbed under the car the first time

[@larrylawson6569]

I'm having a very difficult time getting that sending unit wedged in there so the ring can go back on. Good video, maybe going into more detail on problems that can arise would be good. Having a new rubber hose would have been a great idea instead of after draining the tank and then seeing that hose. I also cleaned the ring with steel wool and dawn and hot water to clear away all that gunk build up.

[@pryotex]

Exactly what I just needed to do and the same problem.

[@CP-pb3pj]

Nice Video! Did you put any thread sealant on your fuel tank drain plug? If so, what did you use?

[@DitchFisherBengal]

Nice I think I need to do this after my fuel pump went out the gauge went to empty and never went back

[@autoraysgarage8938]

thats weird the pump and the sending unit will both die at the same time but hopefully that new sending unit get the gauge to work

[@MP-mz1vu]

Where did you put the gasket that came with it?

[@wrzkace1]

Thank you

[@supernotfunnyman]

great video man, keeping rocking the jurassic park shirt!!! did you ever think of checking it, and just replacing the float? maybe save it now as a spare, yeah? or do you think it's best to just get rid of these, and replace them, when they're playing up. because they aren't that expensive. thanks man!

[@soundmiami]

Why all the issues with the sending wire? It looks like you were bending something around with the big screwdriver and the 5-pound hammer to get the sock connector back on?

[@autoraysgarage8938]

Trying to get the electrical connector bad on snug. It wasn’t fitting snug so just did a light tap with hammer to have it sit flush

[@valianthorton2992]

What happened to the Ram?

[@autoraysgarage8938]

I still have it i will be replacing the steering shaft on it in a few weeks so their will be a video on that out soon

[@marclindsay5945]

So basically u screwwed around with it for an hour and turned it into a seven minute video

[@autoraysgarage8938]

Editing a powerful tool

[@marclindsay5945]

Should of 1. Used a screwdriver to tap off the ring. 2. Used some grease or gasket sealer to hold the gasket in place so it seals properly instead of it keeping falling down....for next time ;)

Lose the music, I guess that's what you call it! No worth watching,,,, moving on
