THE number one thing a fox needs is rear gears. My 88 had 3.73's and was fully capable of verified 12 sec 1/4 times and still got 22mpg when driven in a sane fashion.

The low pressure switch saves your compressor. If you have a fitting come off on the a/c you can have moisture in the system. Anytime the systems seal is broken you really should recover the refrigerant and evacuate the system (hook it to the vacuum pump again) because if their is any moisture in the system it will cause issues. I've worked with my Dad a retired licensed refrigeration mechanic that has worked on Fords in the 60s, semi truck diesel in the 70s and then transport refrigeration the 70s to early 2000s.

You have a low pressure switch that prevents clutch engagement. No refrigerant, no oil circulation, it protects your comp. Just jump the plug until you get some in there, then it will operate normally....

PCV stands for positive crankcase ventilation, not pollution control valve.

[@mitchhuested6244]

CRAIG! I have wanted to tell you this ever since you began the truck rebuild. Glyptal paint the interior of your engine block before you begin assembly. It seals the casting and really aids in getting your oil back to the pan. Old Smokey Yunnick trick, It's the paint used in Alternator windings, but Yunnick found that it sealed his old castings and the smooth texture when dry really helps the oil flow back to the pan. Clean the block with acetone and a brush, then dry it well. Apply it with a brush all over the rough casting areas(cylinder areas on top, block timing chain area, crank webs) you won't be sorry! Wanted to tell you earlier, but you always got the block back quickly, so I was always too late. Watch your vids every time, on the day they come out. Love the Ford guys! I've been one for years, so I wouldn't steer you wrong.

[@tinsano6030]

[@kelvinhill9874]

It’s funny how you can buy cans of AC gas. I think it’s a case of “Only in America”. You can’t do that in Australia. Only licensed AC technicians can buy AC gas and they can only buy it in proper cylinders.

Hey Craig did you upgrade your ac system to r-134a?

[@lilorbielilorbie2496]

Craig At least you have more than one machine shop to chose from .Where I live we only have one. And at the beginning of 2022 he went way up the prices for everything that they do. Man I miss living in California.

[@donaldtate3372]

Audience, great job on the repairs Craig. It's super cool when you repair your own AC issues yourself✌🏼.

[@fordprerunner2004]

The Mustang has come along way from when you bought it. It definitely needs the quarter window trim for the exterior to look fresh. But the head liner man. The interior need a suede head liner and the panels color matched. My 2 cents for what it's worth. oh and put the speaker grilles on in the dash lol. Great progress and content.

[@red_fox_flareside]

I have a 65 Ford F100. I want to get a car eventually too. I think you’ve convinced me to get a fox body.

Thanks for the advice to check that part

[@vixen5_oh366]

It’ll still burn oil. Even after changing the screen and pvc valve. Get a catch can from lmr. a company just put one out made for the foxbody. I put one on even after changing everything and drove at least 100 miles I had a spoon full of oil in the can. It really helped my afr it runs even cleaner so it’s worth every penny.

[@yomomnm5367]

PCV stands for Positive Crankcase Ventilation. These were some of the first smog devices used starting in the mid 60s. Before these engines had draft tubes. A simple tube from the engine to the ground. All it’s for is to vent blow by out of the crankcase. Now fumes are run through the intake and burned during the combustion process. If you have a lot of oil in your PCV system it’s caused by excessive blow by.

[@whoaaanelly65]

I had to listen to Craig a few times, but felt I didn't quite understand and would explain PCV to those interested. As mentioned in this posting - PCV stands for Positive Crankcase Ventilation. It's a pretty simple check valve, usually. This valve should only open when vacuum is high... In other words, at idle. This is generally OK, since it does increase idle speed a bit. This high vacuum period occurs enough under normal driving conditions to ready clear the crankcase of their fumage. Under acceleration you don't want to introduce a vacuum leak, which PCV induces, so that valve will be shut on acceleration. No vacuum loss while feeding it the onions. But, if pressure in the crankcase exceeds the resistance of the check valve, it will still vent, but without altering the vacuum. Also, when first introduced it was determined that you can't fling oil at a suction tube feeding your intake... so stock valve covers used internal baffling to let fumes move through, but minimal oil droplets. In this case, and with most aftermarket valve covers, you saw (here) a filter deep enough to make splash oil drip off, hopefully. Not as effective as internal baffling, but roller rockers don't offer much room for anything else. There are other options for much the same benefit. So check them PCVs fellars. 🧐

[@steamy1225]

Nice. I have an 88 Mustang LX 5.0L with the AOD. Mine is not daily driven as I live in Michigan but mine has 241K miles on it. i had it for 30 years now as of Feb 2. The AC not working can also be that low pressure switch on the receiver /dryer. It just screws on to it and has a shradder valve under it so you will only loose a very small amount of charge when changing it as long as you are quick at unscrewing it . i had to replace mine a few times over the years. I also just recharged mine last year with R12 that i had 2 12 oz cans of. Next time i will convert to R134. Also i do have and F100 myself that i'm restoring right now but mine is a 83 bull nose . Will rebuild a 87 Mustang engine for it as the original V8 is underpowered.

[@brianmaynard7320]

I'm laughing at the amount of miles you're putting on that car. Lol . I drive over 110 miles a day, just to work. Not including the run around once I get home. Basically 150+ miles a day. 5-6 days a week.. Great video though. I do like the Stang, the truck and the Galaxies..

[@young11984]

Man those bearings would have been fine actually, ive seen worse from people just installing their camshaft lol. That PCV screen is the first thing i tell people to clean from day one of buying a 5.0 because 90% of people never touch, think to clean or had been deleted not knowing its purpose. That 150whp 😂😂, its a blast for sure.

My AC has the same problem the wire in the plug was migrating back so when I plugged it into the compressor it would push the connection instead of making contact

[@redrevo_117]

My dad got a 98 explorer sport v6 from his brother and hes had it for like 6-7 years now and the ac has never worked in it all those years he had a alternator that would start squealing when turning on the lights fan whatever (very bad bearing surprised it lasted that long tbh) so he finally replaced it and the ac compressor decides to finally kick on and its charged. Literally replaced the alternator and it fixed the ac twas wack lol

[@leviwoodring6101]

I deleted the pcv on my 81 k10. New valve covers don't have a spot for it.

[@JustAvignone]

What size steering wheel do you have? 13inch?

[@vintagespeed]

as you found out, you may need to jumper the switch so the pump runs when you charge the system. in vehicles with both hi & low press switch you;ll need to energize the clutch to charge it.

[@rangeraficionado87]

Dude, I wanna see you do a DIY 347 stroker. Clearancing the bottom of the bores for rods, etc. All of it. And it would make you REALLY fall in love with the Foxbody.. Like you, I'll never forget how happy it made me when I finished building my A/C system from scratch in my V8 Ranger. Best it will do via vent temp is 42 degrees at cruise. I got lucky sizing all of the parts in the system.

[@NoHandleNameScrewTube]

Nice! A/C and no oil smoke. Looking good. I just charged mine and used a small can but the new digital large can I used the meter and saved the large can for another car.
