The broken water neck was a shocking plot twist, great save with the brazed repair! I also enjoyed the daring use of birds eye view during start up!

It's always a good idea to not reuse old head studs - buy a new set of grade 8 studs; cheap insurance that the head nut torques will keep the head on tight.

Gotta love the old omnidirectional trouble light. Hits everybody and everything full on. I remember you could buy a heavy duty (incandescent) GE bulb called Rough Service that would survive more than a few drops or hits unlike regular bulbs that were always blowing from the slightest impact.
@Chr.U.Cas162210 ай бұрын
Dear johna 👍👌👏 Yeah, exactly. If I remember correctly, there are shields and glass covers existing for these types of lamps. As an interim solution I once even used kitchen aluminium foil (folded over several times) to direct the light away from my face. Best regards, luck and health in particular.

I think I still have Dad’s “drop light” from the 1940’s with a half shield still tucked away in the garage. He rewired it multiple times during my time with him and it will remain with me as a fond token of our times together. I bet it will light up and shine bright today!

The oil may look clean, but it will be oxidised after standing a few years. A full laboratory oil test is only a bit over £30 in UK and tells you a lot about the health of your engine as well as the oil. They send you a sample bottle, you fill in a data sheet about the car. You mail it and the sample off to them. A few days later, the test results pop up in your email. The service I use are very helpful over the phone if the results are puzzling. I'm sure similar tests are available where you are. Catching problems early is a lot cheaper than picking up the pieces! Clearly, there are no significant problems with that Ford, though!

E muito interessante colocar o Ford no ponto , invertendo o parafuso até que ele ache a posição certa da polia através do rebaixo interno . Meu pai possuiu um Ford 29 ou 30 , fechado , aqui tinha o apelido de guarda louça por assemelhar a uma CRISTALEIRA , meu primo também possuía um , já fizemos viájens de 300 km com o Fordinho . Gasolina , óleo por gravidade , bomba de óleo tipo pescador , sem pressão , freio barbante , não possuíam casquilho , era ferro com ferro , avanço do distribuidor por centrifuga . Eram muito simples , mas excelentes . Meu sonho era possuir um , mas os preços estão altos. Tenho 72 , possuímos vários carros , que hoje são antigos , na época eram zero .

Obviously not completely practical in today's world but the idea that something can sit for 70 years and in a few afternoons you could be driving around would seem like complete fiction to alot of people these days. I realize still on smaller size channel but if you guys ever get together like merch stuff some period inspired stuff would be real neat. Look forward to more videos. I watched the races on Curiosity Inc channel! Love that so much. If was do far I'd be at every one.

So how did you repair the water hose housing? Old unrun sitters oil always looks fresh, sediments still in there though. A pal inherited his dads old farm with 50 gallon oil change drum, oil like new with 1" sediments in the bottom, uses the oil in his commuters. First I get an old sitter I release the pressure plate until the cork disk lets go, usually couple of weeks. I never ever stand edge on to old fans, had a few fly off and they will kill, always check for cracks at the bolt holes.

Ok, you guys are awesome. I have a crazy idea that you might love or hate, please consider. I have a 1923 T that I want to install an oil pump in the sump to filter oil to a spin on oil filter. It will clearly be a bypass type system and I'm doing it to use multigrade synthetic oil because I want to drive it year round and yes I'm in Canada too😂 What do you think? Besides it's a big engineering mess, I'm looking forward to it.
