We will attempt to rebuild this Autolite 2100. We will attempt to install new brakes on all 4 wheels. Will our efforts work out? Can this 25 plus years worth of dirt and grim be washed off of the this rig? Can the Ole Man make the tires turn over on this Merc? All these questions answered on this episode of RevStoration.

That contraption with the line going from the power steering pump to the throttle linkage is a power steering idle step up system. When you turn the wheel at idle especially lock to lock it is supposed to speed the idle up to compensate for the load from the power steering system.

[@SlyDellian]

Tell you what, Rev, this channel wouldn’t be as entertaining without the old man. The chemistry between you two is unparalleled!

[@RevStoration]

I agree..

[@johnnymack8442]

Your spoiling the ole girl with a full ignition rebuild.

[@RevStoration]

She liked it too!

[@jamesmcdonald5868]

S.O.S. pads will do wonders on this paint. Trim, bumpers and windows! You will be amazed at how well it will turn out!

[@erickricharson5196]

I have been watching your videos for awhile now. I know your mainly into ford's, I am just a old car guy. I am not brandloyal as long as it's American or German. If I like it I will drive it. That comet I like it as much as I like your dad's 63 chevy 4 door. I hate modern cars refuse to own or drive modern cars. Nice to see people who love these oldies like I do. Keep it up God Bless

[@billoehrtman2884]

Congratulations on another revival!!

[@jonathanmiddleton1141]

I think she’ll clean up beautifully!!

[@rolandogonzalezmolina9721]

Your right there’s nothing more frustrating than working on the brakes 👍🏼

[@janethunt6493]

We love watching you and your dad getting it done

[@tommyralls7081]

Love that old car. I’d love to have that car!!!!

[@bryduhbikeguy]

I once spent a week working on rear drums one day.About 7 hours to change 1 wheel cylinder and both sets of shoes.Getting the drums off was nearly impossible as the shoes were 15 year old originals and wore into the drums.Star adjusters were both rusted,and getting that 1 line off the cylinder without twisting it...Nobody will Ever use a wrench on it again./Glad your's is going,and man does it sound good.

[@JDDOWDY]

Thanks again for sharing your video with us God bless from west Texas

Hahaha while I write this you said you apologized much respect to you rev being humble is love for self and others.

[@combatkarl965]

My great grandma had one of those cars, back in the '70's. It got passed down to my aunt, when she went in to the nursing home. Eventually, it developed a crack in the exhaust manifold (we could not find one in a 100 mile radius). It was soon retired, and parked in the barn and forgotten. I think my uncle eventually sold it to the junkyard.

[@combatkarl965]

What frustrated me, was finding the proper parts for them..

[@garysimonson9593]

little 260's sounding like a good little engine.

[@ronwig7665]

David and the ole man, that mercury is good sounded car , interior looks great to with a lot of work it can be a daily driver

[@howardkoster4026]

Our '62 Comet looks pretty much like your '63, except the grill is different, and yours has a V8. That Comet must go like Gangbusters with that V8!!!!

[@user-kr6pe6mu8y]

Super Job, Danke für Video!!!

[@robertironside3166]

If the ole man lets you fix up that one shop of his... you'd be workin' in style together :-)) Man... Big Daddy knows how to trade or WHAT! lol Can see how he got so many gems with those gifted trading skills :-) Nice!😵‍💫😎👍👍

Amen... Good Lord what a Ford! Thanks for watching..

[@danacoy1821]

Try some L A total awesomeness. From the dollar store. It get he all clean up. Many blessings to you and your family

[@RevStoration]

Thanks for the tip!

[@whitehorse420]

Yes yes yes, a Mercury. I'm so glad to see a Mercury/Ford. I bet Ole puddin is to. Great video guys!! God Bless my friends.

[@rickf7445]

Regarding that small cylinder on the carb linkage you were wondering about; as you mentioned, it taps off the power steering pump. The purpose is to keep the engine from stalling due to power steering pump load when the steering wheel is turned hard either direction. When the pump load increases the plunger extends, upping the idle a little bit.

[@donaldhalls2189]

Usually what frustrated me most is the easy job like brake line's, that doesn't turn out easy, always 1to 100 each time thanks for sharing, all the best to yous and your loved ones

[@RevStoration]

Yes sir.. we understand for sure!

[@louisdiaz4836]

I truly give you credit because if l think it’s going to be a tuft job l will take it to the shop instead and bite the bullet lm not young and don’t want to go through the hassle but l enjoy watching you tackle the issue and succeed at what you do and your show is more realistic then a lot other shows believe me 😊

[@leewalker3514]

Rev I just love what you and the old man do keep it coming brother that 260 runs like a ford 👍

[@VorlonFrog]

Ya know Rev, I'm a GM/Caddylack kinda guy, but your love of Ford 289/302 V8 engines is starting to grow on me.

[@chicagovasko]

That 63 Ford sound good I like how in the front top the windshield is round and in the back top its got corners. That's style jack.

[@davesawdey9468]

Love your channel Rev! I'm a subscriber for life!!!

[@RevStoration]

Thanks Dave..

[@500mos]

That car started and ran like the day it was made.

[@mike-tl3is]

Just a riot

[@billyfoster3223]

Great video, Rev! Sweet little car! You-all do good work! Cheers!😁👍🛠️

[@reyreyes2884]

rev and the oleman did again love your style of mechanic work

[@ronniemichael8832]

great video keep up the good work!!!

[@RevStoration]

Thanks, will do!

[@donaldhalls2189]

That's a nice old rig, as far as I know we never got those over here in Australia, too bad you didn't get it finished but the old man had fun, all the best to yous and your loved ones

[@jimhickey2276]

Great video! Biggest frustration we have is new parts almost never fit like original, or are just plain wrong. We spend more time goofing around with brand new parts from the parts store trying to make them work and sometimes they do, but just as often, have to go back to the store and try again. Not sure what's going on, but quality isn't what it was.

[@RevStoration]

So true.. thanks!

[@gordonwalker8003]

Wiring of old vehicles.then the brake lines .from Flint Michigan Gordon

[@brettjones5041]

good lord the comet will clean up nice . makes me hanker for a ford comet top video mates

[@matthewdove3520]

Over all not in bad shape, I’m only 3 mins in but I’m sure it’s going to be a great video 👍 from the uk

[@richardmondron9596]

Dad had a 63 Comet, sr22. Bucket seats, console, Dixie cup tail lights, and red, white and blue wheel cover center caps

[@vayabroder729]

Love the black and white interior! That motor is running like a clock. That smoking will go away once you use it more.

[@68beetlevlog]

I love that car💞

[@georgejarvis92]

Love the ol Comet I'd throw a set of wheels & tires on & another hood maybe front bumper or just delete it all together clean it up & drive it! Great job guys

[@kendokunti]

What a great car and needs to be save the only thing that could make that 63 better is if it was a wagon!

[@russmurphy7062]

Bro David, try getting a factory ECM working with a bad wiring harness. Everything was replaced, sensors, computer, components, gaskets, fuel logs (aka the rack). I've literally bought three computers, five or six MAF's, TPS's, CTS's, blocked the egr off, and worked for three years to make it run right. But the wiring is the only thing I haven't replaced.

[@Scotts23]

That's one good looking car you got there great video once again as always I look forward to my weekly fix of Rev

[@wilenelson1810]

That things minty ! 🏁🔧🏁🔧🏁🔧🏁🔧🏁🔧🏁🔧

[@after5auto133]

That wiper thing is to keep the plastic part of the points lubricated. You put some light grease on the pad. Keeps the plastic from burning off

[@michaelkoon8371]

Hey Dav I had tried to pull a rack and pinion stirring off a ford escort tellin ya wow what a job took me belive it or not one week to take it off and put the other one on wow what a job

[@katj6488]

Hey Rev great video! I know them brake line can drive you crazy! I would have to say rusted nut or bolts on things like exhaust manifolds are one thing that can drive me crazy! Praying for Momma hope all is well for her! Take care and can't wait for the next video!

[@RevStoration]

Thanks Kat.. rusted exhaust bolts are no fun either.

Trenton, you gotta do a revival video!

@@SlyDellian it wasn't much of a revival to be honest lol. All we did was dump gas down it's throat and it lit right off. So lately all we have been doing is cosmetics and touch up. I still have the video somewhere of its first start. I could post that here in a bit
