[@Shane-Singleton]

The slow motion of the camera guy jumping was epic!

[@MohdAzylee]

huuu haaaaa

[@allinrc3338]

Soo funny 😉👍

[@madmax2069]

He wasn't ready

[@steelchain384]

SHOTS FIRED,SHOTS FIRED I NEED BACKUP!!! 😂

[@braulionascimento8834]

Mayphra!!!!!

[@88SC]

Satisfyingly primal, tow starting a stripped down Model A with an old, flattie-powered Ford pickup. One has done something right in life, to get paid to do that.

[@thomascrouch6135]

I am 84 and grew up on Model A's. Sure wish I had had a balanced crankshaft like you have. We made a race car out of a topless two door, If I remember right we took 50 thousand off the head put a silver dollar in the babbet for each rod bearing, used bearing blue and scraped and fitted each rod to 2 thousands, installed a 3/4 Escaderian cam, ported and releaved the block, cut the manifolds up and it made a down draft intake and dual exhaust. Installed a electric fuel pump and a Willis carburetor. Installed a magneto from a Baldwin combine motor and hooked up some linkage so we could optimize the timing of the engine. The car ran very good, it was fast! But we should have worked on the steering and the brakes long before we started on the motor!

[@Buzzrust1]

Great comment. I rebuilt mine when I was 20 (32 years ago) dropped the pan 2 years ago and dropped a shim on the rod caps, mains looked good. I recently got a downdraft and a castiron header and my god the difference in all around driveability. Still looking for a combine mag, I found the cam gear cover mount on a concrete mixer but mag was long gone.

[@WilliamDye-willdye]

Thanks for sharing that story.

[@eribertoacedo9505]

Thomas Crouch Hey Thomas great story I like what you did you fellows were cool looked around and made things work you got a love it. I have a 1940 deluxe coop tutor this year 2020 on my birthday will be 50 years old with me put in a hopped up 327ci engine and a turbo 400 street and strip reprogramming kit the rear end new style Positraction worm gear limited slip around corners sitting on weld wheels Just about done again April 1 is cruise night here in Ramona California wait to they get a load of this hot Rod! 🕶"

[@briangerring1095]

It’s very hard to get the timing wrong on a model A , use the pin bolt on the front timing gear cover , take it out , put the pin reverse it and put the pin end in and slowly hand or crank the motor over until the pin drops in on a hole on the gear ,should be on # 1 adjust to suit , sounded like the fuel mix was incorrect when it wouldn’t start at first.

[@grey3977]

Brian Gerring "its very hard to get the timing wrong an a model A" lol... hold my beer. I bet you I could get it wrong 10 out of ten times 😀

[@donaldleavy4379]

THANK YOU & Your Bein Nice.. This Is looks like someone who ain’t all he may think he is.. & Having to drag that motor after the build.. & Yes I know the Babbitt Material Bearing Starts Out Tight.. But No I’ve Built Them Wit My POP Many Years Ago. Thay Start RITE Up When The Done Rite Theres No Draging The Car Or Any Of This Nonsense The Simplicity Of That Motor Is What Makes It A Model A .. They Start Rite Up.. When There Done With Care ..You Actually Need A Little Feeling In It On Those Or Any Build .. But On All The Old Stuff Especially.. just sayin Looks A Little Hackish

[@DaCoder]

The backfires were hilarious lol Best automotive channel by far with this content!

[@antony580]

People giving this video a thumbs down... That really pisses me off. This engine job is amazing! Very entertaining and soothing to watch! Well done guys!

[@tat838805]

Right?! Like, if you dont like the video... for whatever lame reason.. move on!!! No thumbs down needed!!!!

[@nzsaltflatsracer8054]

An easy way to set base timing. TDC the engine firing #1, turn the distributor in the opposite direction to rotation until the points just open with the rotor in the #1 position. Lock it down & you have a few degrees of advance.

[@ricardopathe3925]

Hagerty is your definitive source for all things classic: compelling stories about cool cars and the people who love them; the latest on collector car values and market trends; and all the eye candy, roaring engines and nostalgia you can handle. So strap down, settle in and cruise with us a while. We’re glad you’re here.

[@lawrencecarpenter638]

I like how the heat in vehicle works.Comes right off the exhaust manafold.Ingenious.

[@eribertoacedo9505]

Lawrence Carpenter I have a hot rod 1940 deluxe two door don't have a heater I have headers that heats up the engine compartment and the interior. Amazing heat transfer🕶"

[@jamesl.leibensperger8014]

Take the plug out of the timlng cover. Turn it around and. Turn the engine over with. Crank till yhe item. S drops into the hole , then screw it back in cover then it will be in time...!

[@Buzzrust1]

Dont forget to move the rotor to number 1 with the spark advance lever centered when the pin hits the detent in the cam gear.

[@1956etol]

Appreciate the reality of the possible difficulties in the first time starting of a Model A engine. It really is as simple as fuel, air and spark!

[@fxdbeebe]

been waiting for this one since i found out the starter couldnt do the first crank

[@arthurpeary2815]

it's best to attach the tow strap to the axle. reason is that the bumper clamps might break with too much jerking while towing. engine looks BEAUTIFUL. nice work.

[@thomascrouch6135]

Not on a Model A, you will pull the wish bone out of it's socket!

[@chrisrye9128]

Love this series. Keep the dreams alive Hagerty crew! Rebuild. Recycle. Relive! Automotive archeology at its finest. Everything old is renewed again.

[@eribertoacedo9505]

Chris Rye totally agreeing with you when I was younger we used to pack a lunch and head to the junkyard with our manuals deciphering engine numbers and putting performance first whenever we can find it yes sir look around make things work.🕶"

[@aaronmutch1883]

Thank you for 3 days in a row of uploads! I search my feed for your redline rebuilds every day hoping to see these videos. Barn finds are great, but nothing can replace the rebuild vids. Keep up the amazing work

[@JWilliams81]

That is a late 1931 firewall. The indentation around the fuel shutoff is the easy way of spotting one.

[@Hagerty]

You are correct!! We were wondering when/if somebody would spot that. The engine and chassis are 1930. 1931 body was the only thing we could find for it at the Hershey swap meet back in 2016 when we built the whole car in 4 days!

[@eribertoacedo9505]

JWilliams81 good eye on your part I scratch my head looking at that what's up with that thanks for clarifying it save me time and beer to figure this out thanks again from Ramona California.🕶"

[@ragimundvonwallat8961]

this is a powerhouse! the best 1927 engine tech had to offer. hard to beleive that such a small peice of metal contain the power of 50 furious horses, yes ladies and gentlemen you heard rigth, the power of 50 horses. say welcome to modernity

[@eribertoacedo9505]

Ragimund VonWallat if he has 50 horses that means he's a rancher.🕶"

[@mikealford78]

Hope that coil being flipped upside down is only temporary. I own a 1960's Wisconsin V4 that has the coil sitting sideways. Whatever fluid that is used in that coil leaked out and wicked through a solid copper ignition wire and made its way to the cap and rotor. Unfortunately that fluid became hygroscopic or something and killed the spark. Hope this helps save a few headaches in the future.

[@Sloozen1]

These videos are recorded and edited in the most entertaining way! A+

[@eribertoacedo9505]

Sloozen1 yes sir we all have something to say which sometimes needs to be edited to make it sound good as you wanted it to🕶"

[@ALABAMAHEADHUNTER]

We used a multi meter to set the distributor before we ever tried to crank it . Cranked first try .

[@mikecorleone6797]

I never thought to use a serpentine belt to lift am engine.. I’ve always used bike straps or seatbelts lol

[@sonyhk3824]

Seatbelts as usual. Cheers

[@biggiebaby3541]

Hagerty should seriously consider hiring a mechanic. Do they ever get anything to run?

[@mohabatkhanmalak1161]

There must be thousands of Ford Model T and A's in the back roads of the USA, with enthusiasts showering TLC on them. Looking forward to engine running.

[@bigragu6828]

Love the cartwheel at 9:51 as the truck is backing up.

[@southronjr1570]

Seeing that model A reminds me of a picture my Grandmother showed me as a kid. It was of her, her brother and her best friend as teenagers sitting on my great uncle's model A in downtown Athens. She told me he was worried that some college kid was going to steal it so he hooked the battery up to the body panel and the door handles. The very first day he drove it into town and parked, he came out of the hardware store with some kid hollering beside his car. The trick seemed to have worked and word spread not to mess with his Model A. Btw, this was sometime around 1932 or 34.

[@mossfoster5317]

Hagerty is a great channel

[@timnoseworthy4623]

Looks like you fellas have a lot of fun and keep it light even when it's not fun

[@vcmdpropulsion126]

the heat exchanger on top of the exhaust manifold was the coolest ever.

[@tomperkins5657]

Pop the clutch! Boy, I can't remember the last time I did this. Oh, yes I can. My '67 VW!!

[@eribertoacedo9505]

Tom Perkins Hello Tom my friend had a Buick that would not turn over with the starter we rolled it out into the street hooked it up to a chain they pulled it down the street dropped it in low gear with the key on squealed the tires damn thing started up but the chain of drove around the block I just looked at him he goes that's the way it's done then it was beer time.🕶"

[@terryegan5113]

You do know that the flywheel cover must be indicated to .006 TIR before connecting the bell housing? Beyond .006 and you can have all sorts of problems with the transmission. Use an indicator with a magnetic base. Put the base on the end of the crankshaft Turn the engine over with the pulley bolt and take a reading at say, every 20 degrees.Shim as needed. Needless to say, but this operation is a lot easier to do with the engine out of the car. When Henry (or Edsel) designed this system, they used two parts, the Flywheel cover and the bell housing. This was later reduced to just one, the bell housing. Terry

[@garfield1415]

8:43 the cameraman getting "backfired" and jumping was hilarious!

[@randyeades6015]

Like the inspection ! 222k 2 years ago , well anyway I'm about getting to work & my own car running, 1930 4 door sedan,

[@tomdupaul]

Lifting the motor with serpentine belts as straps was interesting.

[@redneckgearheadgarage495]

Been many many motors pulled with a serpentine belt.

[@marcryvon]

Oh yes ! Never ever seen it before !

[@lessergeant8771]

I have stumbled on too your videos, as i am in the process of rescuing a 25 Maxwell Chrysler. This is Awesome!! As a 64 year old Rookie. Thanks so much for your detailed explainations. I am very exited to get this car on the road. i know it will take a while, but hopefully by next spring is is up an running.!

[@cc9z]

i just can not believe you hooked the tow rope up to the center of the bumper

[@jiveturkey9993]

Yeah that seems kind of spooky to me also.

[@crissd8283]

I thought the same. I was thinking as soon as he pops that clutch and that over 100ftlbs pushes back that bumper will bend right in the middle. I was happy when it didn't. That bumper must be stronger than it looks.

[@nzsaltflatsracer8054]

The bumper's are actually spring steel but the safer place to hook up is the axle beside the wishbone.

[@andrewallen9993]

It's a model A. Of course it wont hurt it, they were called bumpers for a reason and made from spring steel!

[@eribertoacedo9505]

Donny Moose I have a 1940 Ford hot rod ran out of gas one time messing around my friend told me hooked it up to the bumper put a nice bend in it I was so pissed but I hooked it up my fault took the bumper off me and my friend set it up and used sledgehammer he made out of a cylinder of lead on a tube handle poor bumper we smack the hell out of it got the shape back in it didn't lose any chrome can't tell it was A boo-boo on my part lesson learned.🕶"

[@N-Scale]

I just love watching these !!!!

[@mariusvanniekerk7707]

Yes, I could smell the fuel 😁

[@thepsychobilly88]

You guys are the best! Keep doing what you do, like you do it! Much love and respect from Finland :)

[@eribertoacedo9505]

Thomas Weckström Hello Thomas yeah I get a kick out of these guys how to start an engine? from Ramona California waving to you folks out there that love hot rods.🕶"

[@Diablothein]

Woo! Looking good!

[@ArgentPure]

All it needs now is some fenders, a paint job and a vinyl roof!

[@guillermonieri4203]

It is looking great. I know it will run just fine. I am looking forward to see it move on its on power. Thank you for sharing.

[@chuckotto7021]

Cone on guys! Setting the timing on a Model A is so simple!

[@charlescrockett6208]

THAT B3 MUSIC IS TOP TIER!!!!!

[@Swordfire94]

You guys really keep motivating me to get my ass up and continue to work on my '69 cadillac I just bougt about 7 or 8 weeks ago. I'm a harley mechanic at a official dealership here in germany but this car is a new challenge for me because I'm learning by doing :D keep up the good work !

[@eribertoacedo9505]

Swordfire94 Way to go, First of all you ride a Harley great great and you own a Cadillac great now you're learning the how to's of rebuilding American stuff witch you already know, Nice to know that gear heads runs the world as we know it from Ramona California greetings gearheads forever🕶"

[@TheAreotrain]

Really enjoyed watching the Model A rebuild. Now to pick up my Model A's engine from it's rebuild and get it back on the road.

[@merc6]

I really want a model A now.

[@hf3330]

What a cool guy!! liked the footage much!!

[@paulstan9828]

Ha!!’ The camera guy didn’t know what might be coming his way. Always fun watching the rebuild videos. Look forward to tomorrow’s.

[@ilovedogs7224]

That’s a good way to bend your front bumper I know I’ve done it! Always wrap the strap around both bumper brackets not the bumper.

[@eribertoacedo9505]

I love Dogs yeah yeah yeah I to have made a mistake with a tow strap on my 1940 front bumper big tweak in The bumper Took it off 30 pound lead sledgehammer did the trick smack the holy crap out of it few dozen times little smacks at a time got it straight again didn't lose any chrome we have something in common gearheads forever🕶"

[@waynecreech]

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang scared the hell out of the camera guy!

[@erichildreth7562]

Can't wait to see the video tomorrow! Really enjoy these builds and you guys do some amazing work!!

[@shawnmrfixitlee6478]

AWESOME , ENJOYED !!

[@gregmaggielipscomb9246]

Nice job and well thought out video.

[@mitchf01]

@hagerty do you guys have like a shop manual for torque settings and order of install type thing. Or is it kind of just whatever you think is right based off of experience?

[@fercarmecanicageraleinjeca5696]

Não canso de assistir......alguém ai no BRASIL

[@danielscott6787]

Serpentine belts for the win!!

[@markddayton]

Boy you really struggle there. And left us hanging

[@kenh9097]

Great video series! Love watching!!

[@rihograuberg4399]

9:43 this is my favorite part. :) Like a Benny Hill :) I laughed so much :D

[@dougscustomcargarage3434]

It was great to watch Learned something new thanks

[@dondesnoo1771]

Many of those old spark plug top screws ends up in hole .!!! Back in the day

[@ellieprice3396]

Thanks for the interesting videos from rebuild to final startup by pulling car with tow-strap. I've always wondered why the babbited rods couldn't simply be machined to .001/.002 clearance to eliminate this step? There must be some good reasons so answers are appreciated.

[@jeffh6971]

Love this channel

[@pawpatina]

You could push it backward with one hand and pop the clutch in reverse... done it almost a million times. by myself.

[@t.j.m3987]

Wow just wow

[@ineverhadthemoney7857]

on the front of the motor is a pin hole in the casting // a doll is pull out// and turn the doll pin around back in hole// to to find top dead center / number one// turn the crank back and forth to the hole for the the doll goes in 1/4 inch //then your at top dead center now check number 1 line up both spark plug with and cap rotor to number one

[@DidierBan]

You don’t know if I can smell it? 😂😂😂😂😂 good one 👍👍👍🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jt7216]

I saw the time-lapse, but it didn't explain why engine timing was broken. Was it the original distributor? Was it timed wrong when putting in the aux shaft? Fascinating build of a classic. Dare you to take on a 16 cylinder Caddy 8-)

[@patrickradcliffe3837]

New uses for old serpentine belts lifting straps.

[@spkrman15]

Damn it! A cliff hanger!. Just like the weekly serials my parents used to tell me about. :) Love the work guys. Keep it up.

[@eribertoacedo9505]

Rob Townsend hey Rob I feel you tension is high to see the next chapter in the life of a four banger🕶"

[@moisesaldersflugel2879]

9:51 that cartwheel lol

[@jimburig7064]

Are you planning to put fenders on that car? It sure would look a lot better.

[@NebukedNezzer]

unfortunately Ford put the water pump in the wrong place. you never want it there. the pump should take water from the radiator and push it into the block. the wrong place is why these things overheat so easy. today you could fix it by using an electric water pump or what ever.

[@javiergalarza4236]

You are a máster mecanic, i love all your videos

[@alancameron2433]

G-D Bless America!

[@chrisholmes6311]

Load rate serpentine belt 😆 Awesome video series 👌🏻

[@anonunteer1719]

That looks really fun Congrats it started for you guys of course♡ that's a dynamite sounding rumble : )

[@hamish2202]

that flathead ford i love things so so good so mean like a y block same firing order

[@NovaResource]

Davin, did you really just ask if we could smell the fuel? 3:09 😂 LOL Love these videos. Thanks so much! Fantastic work.

[@eribertoacedo9505]

NovaResource I smell the fuel in my mind stinky fuel now put it in the lawnmower and use it up.🕶"

[@ldnwholesale8552]

I bet Ford did not tow start the things off the line,, and they had the timing set properly as well!

[@cwiggy34]

That was epic

[@bill3641]

Curious, with the tight crank / babbit issue , how was it handled at the factory when new? A: Were the engines all prerun before assembly B: Upon completion on the line did they start them with a drum in the floor to drive the wheels. Or ??

[@paulcopeland9035]

They spun the engines with large electric motors. They would get hot and smoke. They called it "burning in" at the factory.

[@philanaemic]

Dyno test next yeah? I reckon it'll be good for at least 40 horse. :-|

[@davidchasse1560]

I just want to work for this guy...

[@chada472]

Did you fill the oil through the distributer hole? I hope.

[@pacerodi]

Man, what a piece of work you`ve done! How many hp, do you think you gain with it? My only question is, was that worth? I guess it was, one only time. Thanks, anyway, i`ve learned my lesson! Cheers!
