This is a trip down memory lane. My dad had an old Ford flatbed with 4 on the floor too. In 1989 we drove it from Los Angeles to Mexico and left it there. It was driven very little since it was left there and a few years later when my grandfather passed away my dad needed the truck for taking material to the cemetery and we took his old Ford. It sounded exactly the way this one did, but it barely ran on the road. It was stolen a few years later and that was the end of that. I have a soft spot for these because my uncles had old Fords too and I took many a ride with them as a little kid. Good memories.

Hey Kevin i know what I'm about to tell you isn't a revival project but my stepfather's GMC Suburban wouldn't start but i thought its not the fuel pump because its working so i said to my self it's not getting the fuel to the engine & there might be air in the fuel line. So i undid the fuel line asked my step sad to see any fuel comes out & it did told my step dad to put the fuel line back & let my step dad turn the key & the truck turned over. Thanks to me my step dad got his truck back & going & no other high priced mechanic touched his truck but me! I started to fix cars since i was in high school & I'm still doing that today & i love it. 😄

Earlier this year I was given a Poulan chainsaw that didn't run. I ordered a replacement parts kit and replaced the carburetor, spark plug, fuel filter, hoses, primer bulb, and air filter. After watching so many videos since the F100 revival, I kinda felt like I was on an episode of Junkyard Digs doing the same things Kevin does. The best part... the chainsaw runs again! Thank you Kevin for the weekly tutorials and tips on how to bring an engine back to life. You describe it simply and make it seem easy enough that I could do it too. The laughs and Iowa references are great too since my in-laws are from NW Iowa. Keep em coming and I'll keep watching!

Awesome!!! I ALWAYS soak the the cylinders for about a week with Seafoam, Marvel's Mystery Oil, or even transmission fluid and turn the engine over by hand once a day before I ever attempt to fire it if it's something that's been sitting a long time. It could mean the difference between busting rings and totally rebuilding the engine and getting her running good. I'll even dump a little two cycle in the carburetor. She's gonna smoke like a train for a bit but it could save the engine!!!

It really depends on what your working with and how valuable/rare the engine your working with is. If it's just a generic 305 chevy or 302 ford or a 318 Chrysler just send it and fire it up, what's the worst that could happen you blow a $50 engine lol. Now if it's something rare like a 427 big block chevy or something of equal rarity or value then yes, soak the engine, change the fluids and pre prime the oiling system before the first fire up but I think its overkill for your average run of the mill engine like a 305.

That tip about the rotor at 21:23 saved me big time. I had this weird rough idle that I couldn't tune out and there were no vacuum leaks either. One day the car lost spark altogether and it was getting dark outside. Sure enough after popping the cap off I noticed the tab was completely flat. Not only did it get the car running again, it also fixed the idle issue! Keep the videos coming man.

Quick tip for gapping points. Keep a couple paper match books in your tool kit and glove box. Thickness of the match book is almost identical to the proper feeler gauge. My wife and I still run our 73, 460 swapped F 250, on a points system, as well as a couple of our motorcycles. We also keep an emory board, nail file, or an actual points file, in our toolboxes, the truck, and in the bikes.

@what nite First, a small correction that's a RELIABLE engine. That's only one of the things that make an engine good. Second, this is not a truck, it's a family car. So wouldn't call exactly a "work" car. Lastly I was to referring to things like having a 5L beast of an engine that only makes a bit more than 200 HP.

Coils do go out. My 1964 Chevrolet C20 left me on the side of the road at midnight in the dead of winter. I checked the ignition system and everything pointed to an overheated, the coils sides and top were bulging. I called my brother, he was so happy, and we towed it 35 miles back home. The next week, coli replaced, she ran like a top

I just did a revive and drive today on an 89 f350 custom dually flatbed with a 460 and a 5 speed. Wish i had recorded it. Sure was a task. Had to pull it out the weeds, over a bank... with a skidsteer... then had to gone through 2 batteries 2 jump packs, had a crackling solenoid so had to clean it and it worked. Still no crank from key but solenoid itll fire up. Doing brake hose tomorrow

Just had the same thing happen to my ‘96 f150. Been running fine and developed a bad miss that kept getting worse. Changed out all my new ignition system I installed two months ago and finally pressure washed the engine. I can see the blown head gasket and watch coolant come out between the head and the block. Easier to see too since its a 300. May not have been the video you wanted but its the video people need to see.

Could be a good engine to do a review on liquid head gasket sealant. We used to sell bottles of the stuff to taxi drivers here in Australia who ran old falcons that loved to do head gaskets..they'd run a $10 bottle of that stuff through it instead of replacing the head gasket 😅

K seal is the brand that changed my mind on coolant fixes in a bottle. Coincidentally when I first saw it work magic on a few rads/head gasket/heater core, Roadkill featured it saving a couple of their cars

I used to drive a 1975 F-350 with a twelve foot deck in high school. It was only 13 years old at the time but it wasn't in much better shape than this one. Shortly after I started driving it (when I was 16) I put it's third engine in it (360 cu inch). I used to get as low as 6 mpg with that truck (at close to 80 mph) and that is per imperial gallon (4.54 litres) not American (3.79 litres). Although that era of Ford truck is still my favourite, they definitely were not built to last (at least not the F-350 anyway).

I absolutely love Ford FE V8s. I have a 68 F100 short with a Mercury 410 FE and a top loader 4 speed and a semi floating Dana 60 with 4.10. Gears and a power loc differential. She's a torque monster . A serious Tire fryer. I also have a 69 short box with a 428 PI " A " scratch block and a 4 speed top loader as well. 3.55 gear 9" with a Detroit locker. It's a very fast gas hog. And a 71 f100 short box 4x4 with a swapped in 390 and a NP435 4 speed trans . Factory 360 2V but it had to go. I see a pattern developing now that I think
