Modern upgrades - Classic Mustang Part 2 - Edd China's Workshop Diaries Episode 66

[@snake211987]

I'm glad you're back Edd. Missed ya, mate!

[@eddchina]

@@snake211987 thank you

[@chrisross-smith4358]

Great to have you back Ed. As camera operator myself, your camera operator does an excellent job of not only showing us what your doing but keeping it nicely in sharp focus. Well done that person 👍👍

[@DominicCerisano]

Edd proves that you don't have to use a power drill for every nut and bolt. Not afraid to get hands on with real wrenches.

[@eddchina]

@@DominicCerisano John calls it fitter’s feel.

[@sianwarwick633]

The crow's foot spanner was a delight

[@IANHANDS]

Well spotted 👍

[@TheCurlyP]

Agreed. I love my impact gun it's saved me many hours, but it's not my default as I can't feel when it's about to yield

[@beaubrummelmotorizedbicycles]

Thanks Edd, for these great videos. Always top notch camera work and editing. Also a very comprehensive DIY for upgrading the 66 Mustang. Here in California, we appreciate your interest and love for the classic American cars.

[@eddchina]

Much appreciated! Glad you like them. Thank you

[@AndrewDobie]

Ed, what a way to start a Sunday. Or any day. Or night. Having lost the love for my MX5 Rocketeer build, you are inspiring me to get out there and make a mess. Thanks!

[@Lexusman65]

Great soundtracks to 2 great videos.Thanks Edd great to see you.

[@eddchina]

Glad you like them!

[@Christodoulos-J]

It's great to see all the new tech being used to make this classic car work better, but without making it a resto-mod. It's a beautiful car. Can't wait to see what you're going to do to it next.

[@dustinpward]

love you Ed. Thanks for the Mustang videos. They're great!

[@juliocaubin8091]

Que bueno es ver a Edd de nuevo en acción, estos episodios enganchan y hacen recuperar la pasion por los clásicos y la mecanica.

[@eddchina]

Thanks very much, glad you enjoy the episodes

[@TY1979KA]

great production value, art of noise, I love it

[@javig5045]

Nice job Edd, I love finding things wrong with my vehicles so that they can be fixed, and good looking out on those upgrades, that little Mustang is now more efficient and reliable....Javi G.

[@techman2471]

My first car was a "68 Fairlane with that 289 engine. What a pleasure to really learn how to drive with that wonderful sound under the hood. BTW, the Fairlane and Mustang shared the same chassis and a lot of DNA.

[@fab1604]

So glad to see your channel being so active again, keep it going Edd ❤

[@simonfowler7561]

Edd the China, for me that is the BEST video I have seen you make over recent years thank you!!!!! I would reduce the background music personally but the content is FANTASTIC thanks. MORE of course please. Simon

[@anumeon]

I come to this channel to enjoy the eminence of a true petrol-Edd master mechanic

[@eddchina]

Thanks for watching and clicking on to Part 2

[@R.Craig.Collins]

It is wonderful to have your new material to watch... I hope you have some more for us coming up. Thanks again

[@davidbailey533]

This is the Edd we know and love well done

[@billverine765]

Another fantastic tutorial Edd. Love the way you show the stuff that no one else does, like the PTFE tape on the brass fittings. Details matter and thanks for sharing them. The Hydraulic cable end crimper is a cool piece of kit by the way.

[@eddchina]

Thank you, the crimper is very cool (if a little pricey) but makes EV conversions and chunky wiring much easier!

[@Low760]

​@@eddchinathey are pretty cheap in Australia now, $100~

Nice to see you again great mechanic Edd China ❤

[@eddchina]

Thank you very much!

[@roxjeruben]

So relaxing to see you at work

[@thebloodyserb]

I appreciate the time and effort that it took to make that Art of Noise montage and (presumably) to license the music.

[@eddchina]

Thanks. Love the Art of Noise and Lickd make it possible to licence the track. Who doesn’t love a good turn on!!?

[@bradcavanagh3092]

That's pretty neat how much weight you stripped out with the modern starter and alternator!

[@Finne72]

I could watch you working and explaining for hours, this is top content!

[@eddchina]

Thanks very much. More to come…

[@LouJustlou]

Shout out to whoever did the "Art of Noise" tribute. I had a 67 Mustang in high school. I replaced the timing chain in auto shop class. The cowl leaked so bad I took my shoes off when driving in the rain. 😊😊

[@wholeheartedglobal316]

Yes, that was a nice creativity right there!

[@kaneherbert2369]

Another great episode, nice one Edd

[@Paul-XCIV2]

Edd 19:20 when you pour a full jug, turn the jug on its side, then it will pour cleanly and won't glug the liquid out all over the place. 🙂

[@SuperRhysevans]

They do this on purpose so people like you get triggered and leave a comment on their video..

[@Paul-XCIV2]

@@SuperRhysevans I took some of my time to offer a constructive helpful tip. You took some of your time to offer up a snarky pointless jibe at a random person on the internet. I don't know why your day is going so badly but if that is what is takes to help you have a Super rest of your day I guess go for it. 🤷‍♂

[@SuperRhysevans]

@@Paul-XCIV2 sorry, wasn't trying to be snarky, just saying, i spot this all the time by many automotive youtubers, many of them should know better but still pour it this way, and I've put it down to them wanting comments,

[@diegocella6791]

Finally a real Edd episode!

[@mediocreman2]

Might be good to change all of the wiring. And always good to flush out old coolant with distilled water and then add concentrate until at 50/50.

[@eddchina]

@@mediocreman2 good tip

[@henribuhagiar9445]

Even product promos are fun

[@sianwarwick633]

I thought we were gonna watch Ed bend another set of pipes, as he did the Rover's fuel tank, way back in '21

[@jasoncairns2865]

Great video Ed.! Keep 'em coming..!

[@sianwarwick633]

Just checked back to the alternator fix 3 years ago, and it's all starting to make sense

[@jimtewa8096]

Thank you Edd, love your videos miss you on TV.

[@DansManCaveUK]

Tip when pouring from bottles like that, turn the bottle 180 so it pours drom the top. It'll pour smoother and less likely to get it everywhere

[@Danbo56-h9h]

YO! Edd, so cool to see you teaching again.

[@IrfTuna]

We loved you for what you did edd, you are amazing. It's a pleasure to watch you, thank you.

[@КоляСкляров-ш1е]

I'm glad ed tea is back show swindlers 13 seasons awesome as always on top

[@gizzmo2875]

Should add a diode to the relay trigger wire, so that EITHER the thermistor OR the AC can activate the fan. The AC performance will suffer without airflow through the condenser at low speed.

[@mighoet]

A lot of California-related songs in this video and in the earlier one, nice.

[@martyb.1291]

@@eddchina My pleasure !!!😎👍

[@fooledman]

I remember having an electrical fire due to the starter cable being a bit bare, so I had to replace the starter, battery, and all the wiring in between. One of the many adventures with the 87 Oldsmobile.

[@jerryq1000]

Love those old Mustangs...you could take them apart with 2 wrenches: 1/2 and 9/16...

[@eddchina]

Absolutely. And the odd 5/8ths

[@the1stDDD]

If the headlight globes canbe replaced with LED ones, they would pull a lot less current (wouldn't cause wires to heat up as much).

[@Low760]

Or just led headlight replacements.

[@eddchina]

That is true.

[@stephenholland5930]

Yes, but LED lights look hideous on classic cars.

[@the1stDDD]

@@stephenholland5930 if you want to keep the vintage look, choose a warm white LED globe rather than a cool white LED globe?

[@VineV-Dutch]

Love the colour on that thing

[@johnbird1385]

Nice one Ed, well worth the wait. 👍

[@VikasGupta-bx5qv]

That starter sequence gave me Bjork "Dancer in the Dark" vibes.

[@eddchina]

Bjork’s is a great track but Close to the Edit by the Art of Noise used samples of a VW Golf Mk I trying to start outside a flat in Primrose Hill or Hampstead or somewhere like that. Very glad I finally got to use the track in an episode! Hope the AoN approve!

[@Austringer]

Good one Ed. Thanks. Really enjoyed these

[@eddchina]

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@eugenecussen3735]

remove the stickers from the cooling pipes as they are dirt and moisture magnets

This is brilliant Edd. Just like when WD was at its best. Great stuff.

[@hellcat1988]

I can't remember if it was a mug, a bumper sticker, or a shirt, but I had something with a particularly fitting phrase on it for Edd. "Mechanics start what they finish."

[@ewanburnett3956]

Looking forward to seeing more content 👍🏻👍🏻

[@GeoffreyField-z4r]

Best content for a while. When I worked pumping petrol a long time ago, I learnt that you should always replace radiator hoses when replacing a radiator ( keep the old hoses as spares in the boot for emergencies.) Gvien that old crud existed in the radiator, i would also have flushed the block and if I was lucky to own a classic here in Australia I would have used waterless coolant replacement to not only improve running but also safeguard the cooling system. Also whilst working on the car I would have taken the battery out and given it a good charge on a decent charger.

[@stum8374]

The battery was getting charged,I think it was ctek.

[@kevinsmyth364]

Wiring that would make heath robinson proud

[@NichVW]

From almost zero uploads for a couple of years to almost regular uploads like when this channel began.

[@kailuagarage]

Need one of those burp funnels for the coolant

[@jamesdemarco5671]

the real Mr. GoodWrench or shall I say Mr. GoodSpanner, the master mechanic, Edd China !!

[@Renew60]

Ed, instead of messing around with the headlight wiring, why did you not just install LED headlights which would give you the extra brightness without extra current draw?

[@jonathancsmelko2361]

Thanks for the information and videos watching and liking

[@James_Hough]

If you need teflon tape on flared fittings, something has gone wrong.

[@wademiyataki9221]

Sad to see it go, but that just frees up space for another vehicle. Started watching this last week, then had to go to work. Apparently I completely forgot about it until today. Damn, I’m getting old…

[@josephknowlton7246]

Liked, shared and commented. Blinking headlights wasn’t uncommon back then. My dad had a 70 Ford truck. Whenever he turned on the snowplows lights. It was a disco.🤣🍻🤴🏻🗽 31:21

[@luisdonoso1879]

Now yes...! Second part and it's still spectacular..! Everything you do is so great Edd... thanks..!!!

[@eddchina]

Thank you, tell the world!!

[@EVguru]

And in this video, Ed will show us how to introduce metal particles into an automatic gearbox. Seriously, squash the line flat to close it off before cutting.

[@twocvbloke]

Seeing all that wiring stacked up like that makes me think that a bus bar setup might be a worthy safety upgrade, just to keep it from becoming a barbecue on four wheels... :P

[@chrisbike77]

Harry, er, Edd, you're a wizard!!Am a non-technician, enjoying what's happening,thx😎👍!

[@cjmillsnun]

Only thing I might've done differently was pull that connector to the dip switch away from the floor and cable tied it to the side. Then ran the cables as you did.

[@eddchina]

Might have been tidier. Thanks

There ya go ! Uploaded all on it own-some.

[@vlatkofustic2242]

Ed master of mechanics💯

[@Lilzsnr]

Edd great video, just one concern. You might want to consider that starter wiring. It looks like youre effectively running the start trigger through two relays/solenoids. The Apron solenoid and the PMGR starters solenoid. Thats a recipe for "starter run on" where a back feed keep the PMGR solenoid energised for a second or two longer than necessary and can wreck that starter or even ring gear If you Google "Mustang PMGR starter run on" you'll see its a well known thing in old Mustang/Fords with apron solenoids and PMGR upgrades.

[@hadlowwww]

Congrats on a million subs Edd!

Top notch video again Edd, the sound of that creamy smooth V8 is just sweet. But.... theres a Rangie to assemble, it must be giving you nightmares at this stage🤭 Until next time. 👍🏼

[@FRENETIC11]

The intro was 🔥

[@c1tlr340]

What about the hose for the expansion bottle?

[@eddchina]

Had to leave something for Adam to do!

[@Lilzsnr]

No expansion bottle on a Mustang. You fill to just over the fins inside the radiator not the cap neck and the space in the header is the expansion tank. The hose vents down the radiator and just drips onto the road.

[@isalmankhan1]

Where have you been Sir😍😍😍

[@MrBblhed]

I don't know about how things are done in England, but in the US we tend to add either DIY or aftermarket overflow systems to our coolant systems so we don't have to keep adding coolant like back in the 60's. Maybe that upgrade is in order?

[@rick343]

I miss having the dimmer switch on the floor, just felt right

[@31terikennedy]
