Edelbrock RPM Upgrade Install For My F100!

After cleaning up and restoring the Edelbrock RPM manifold I got off a motor I bought I had to put it on and test it out. It gives great top end power but I definitely have some carb tuning ahead of me.

That brings back memories of my Dad's 68 F100 Ford Ranger XLT with a 390 4 barrel and three speed on the column. That truck had under dash air but manual steering and non power brakes. Wish I had that truck back.

[@stubbysgarage]

Really enjoying the engine tech. I'm building a mild 302 to put in a '88 mustang for a drag car so I'm taking lityle things from your videos to help my build alot

[@the_fomoco_man5160]

Great job Dude, reminds me of me 35+ years ago when I started wrenching on these old Ford's. As someone else stated hook up that vacuum advance, it'll definitely increase gas mileage and won't hurt performance at all. Going back to your header install I chuckled when you said something about yer dad and the mess. If I came home to my kid makin a mess doing a header install I'd be like HELL YEA!!!, lemme get my rags on so I can help you "F" the driveway up! Gonna be starting my 74 shortly (my last project). Keep it up Dude! Subscribed.

[@Jos_kem_137]

What did you do to the vacuum advance to increase mileage?

[@sabianmathews9480]

That thing is rad! Sounds sick too! Good job Craig!

[@large_n_widetm2116]

12:23 the one time I did that in my grandpa's 74 Highboy one of the Jets came out of the carburetor and went into the engine. Damn.

[@JohnWheels]

Nice video, I’m glad to see you getting some performance parts. I love the channel!

[@robertafields4409]

Love the way the engine looks

[@troykelso]

It was good to see Krissy McManbun enjoy driving the column shift. The ol' three-speed column shift is the best-kept secret in what's fun to drive. Nice truck!

[@strokerwatson4770]

Totally awesome job my friend keep up the good work

[@Ty-tie_FTW]

Your videos are pretty kick ass man. It's nice seeing the younger guys like you getting into these older trucks. Alot of guys your age have no interest in that kind of stuff.

[@Reece634]

Nice video. Like the upgrade vids.

[@joeyharris2027]

Looks good nice truck Craig good luck

[@NICKSSHOP]

sounds great nice job

[@MustangGuy6501]

That's awesome I would love a 4 barrel intake for my 65 mustang hopefully one day if I had money I'll offer you some for your old one lol

[@anthonya2286]

Such a sick truck

[@stevensimmons8527]

I'd put a 8 or 6 inch air filter .I have no room in my c3 for mot then 4. Engine masters did vids on dyno go with dif filters. Very informative. Keep tooling. I'm doing same.

[@pisibish6111]

The man bun is the new millennial mullet, Chris. haha

[@TheKiltedYaksman1]

Every generation deserves their own silly hair styles.

[@onthefarmandoffvlogs]

Sounds healthy!!!!! Yum!

[@rickdemorgan8951]

The Offenhauser intake will work well with a 1" , 4 hole spacer, brings back some more of the low end torque.

[@arrowgreend3171]

Nice bro! ☺

[@Thecraig909]

Thanks!

[@korbun3235]

You should put it on the dyno to see what it makes before you rebuild it.

[@bootyslayer_6967]

korbin varney yeah true

[@Coronet_shop]

korbin varney for president!!!!

[@TheKiltedYaksman1]

Taller element means more flow. The Engine Masters guys proved that. Two thumbs up. However, I'm surprised you don't having cooling issues with your fan being that far out of the shroud...

[@terrymaines69]

Clutch Fan Dude truck sounds good.

[@douglasdailey5998]

Like those yellow valve covers.

[@1957kwick]

I noticed the spacing on your fan.need a longer fan spacer I’m surprise that thing even cools.

[@ethanh7064]

I really wish my J10 project would go as smoothly as your projects, I’m like $7k deep into this truck already and the pile still doesn’t work. Just got brand new tires put onto it for my graduation present. It’s a really cool lawn ornament, for everything else it’s a pile and a half

[@hichamelemaine8495]

Love what you do craig!! Please never stop doing videos

[@user-fl1jv9cv7z]

I put an rpm dual plane and matching carb on my 302 roller I put in my 86 250.... kinda sweet. But I went with HEI dizzy to delete that Dura spark box

[@user-fl1jv9cv7z]

Your not using studs. That's why you can't have nice things lol.

[@rickdemorgan8951]

Use ARP intake studs for installing manifold. Well worth the cost and effort.

[@octaviocardenas654]

You have a new subscriber

[@walterhubicki5207]

Cool!

[@kermitefrog64]

I am not sure what year this truck is. My Ford pickup is 1964 F250 with a 292. I put on headers with a Holly Carb and the 3 speed on the column is replaced with a 4 on the floor. I replaced the 4:10 differential and put in a 373. It now flies down the road. One upgrade I need is to update the Pertronix. I have the original.

[@64fordproject63]

Awesome video, keep it up! Also, does anyone know anything that can be done to a stock 64 ford 292ci y-block engine to make it a little more peppy? Preferably on a high school students budget. I know that there really isn's a lot you can do with the older y-blocks, but it would be nice just to see what could maybe be done.

[@kiddizzykiddizzy2785]

Nice video

[@Jacobkiziah]

Can’t wait for you to lower it and put the new transmission in

[@rokguitarstar]

3 on the tree!

[@andrewchavez1292]

Hey dude nice truck i was just wondering what kind of intake do you have there because i need one for my truck its a 1972 ford f100 i have a 302 engine

[@marcusmaddenov2451]

I have a performer on my Firebird runs good.

[@ianiforsyth2753]

Hey there , was wondering where you got your head liner from ? Thanks keep up the good work

[@ryanzimmerman1240]

What was that connector you took off near the thermostat with the 3 or 4 pipes coming out of it? I have them on my SBC and don't know what they do

[@juliomurillo1543]

I watch your videos I like them I olso have a f100 and I bean working on the angine

[@nicholasfreeman7516]

Nice👍

[@gustavodedeus]

I have a 1965 f100 , I'm looking for a aluminum radiator like yours, where did you get it ? Thanks

[@mixednuts1231]

Would a 67-72 f100 hood fit on an 67-72 f250?

[@TheoWhite18]

I noticed your vacuum advance was not hooked up. Why is that? Mechanical secondary carb?

[@theworsthokage3015]

How do you know so much about this! I’m new to it and have a 79 F150 want to clean it up and make it pretty again!

[@jr.torres4491]

Hey bro, how's it going. what size is your air filter and If you where going to get a bigger one what's the size . I have one but I can't seem to find the right Fit. please help 🙏

[@willsmith8845]

Thecraig909. Quick question How many inches are between the back of your heads to the firewall? Swapping 6 cyl to 302.

[@ortegaaugie]

I really hope you go with a better carb for the new setup.

[@williamsanders468]

LsxElco yeah he needs a Holley

[@ortegaaugie]

Admiral Sandwich yeah I used to run a edelbrock carb then I went to holley then from a quick fuel and they were both a night and day difference from the edelbrock its a must!

[@jameschilton2091]

Love your flag!

[@woodjeli]

Should have waited an hour for the gaskets to harden, then put the intake on.

[@richardgalvin8390]

Hey man I've a 75 f250 4x4 has a 390 I want to know what you suggest to get away from the factory points

[@boseymour1]

Buy an HEI kit from southwest performance. Best mod Ive ever done for reliability

[@kbakeritsallaboutnobody.5761]

I love the f100. Any plans to upgrade the brakes to power brakes?

[@noahtaylor3148]

ken baker he wants to swap a crown Vic front end and explorer rear end, so he will have to when does those for the disc brakes

[@Barna123]

Do you have a video or pictures on your motor mounts ?

[@mathewwyrick9881]

Hay guys I need a boor panel for a 1981 ford f100, any good suggestions I can barely find parts out now for my truck?

[@researchandbuild1751]

mathew wyrick national parts depot

[@nadz109]

I had a 3 on the tree

[@CalebsCars]

Dude was really cleaning that with a Dremel and not a rubber buff pad...

[@ramvanbobby3889]

That truck runs good I'd have fun with that baby

[@joaquinbenarde8506]

model air filter use??

[@vernm6189]

I know this is older but you should have tried a 1" spacer on your Offy instead of running it Carb to Manifold.

[@curthall4096]

If You have room put a 1 inch spacer under the Carb.

[@williamsanders468]

Now would you put the floor shifter in

[@m.m.aautos6608]

Admiral Sandwich he needs to do a foxbody t5 trans swap

[@williamsanders468]

He needs an actual 73 Chevy grill for the C10

[@williamsanders468]

Once he goes 73 he’ll never want to go back

[@dadybig6522]

That uou never throw away you don't se that hard to find

[@rawdyrider]

Always remove your watch before wrenching,Even if its a Casio G Shock!

[@forterierocks]

First time I drove a 3 on the tree it didn't go well😂

[@Coronet_shop]

Derek Joon please do tell

[@forterierocks]

The Coronet Shop 198? Chevy pick up at my grandparents house went to back up and instead of reverse I think I was in second and ended up hitting the garage door knocking it off the track and if fell on to my grandma's Firebird and shattered both T-tops and the rear hatch glass, cost me $700 dollars at the pick and pull to replace the tops and hatch, grandpa swindled home owners insurances to cover the garage door.

[@Coronet_shop]

Derek Joon yikes

[@Coronet_shop]

Derek Joon only got stuck in a ditch had to wait a week to get my 72 out

[@garywinters2282]

Thunderhead289 on KZbin, he is a carb tune guru and a really nice guy in Iowa.

[@troykelso]

3:04 😂

[@meanmachineriding8969]

You need to put a vacuum pump on it and a holly 4 barrel and holly hi rise intake

[@troykelso]

8:13 😂

[@williamlane9140]

That's called a dual plane manifold

[@mayo_moto]

I like the video, but you’re doing little trees all wrong. Vanillaroma is where it’s at.

[@Coronet_shop]

7:46 there’s a hole in the manifold......yikes

[@colescarstuff7102]

The Coronet Shop where?

[@jhutch1470]

A couple things. One, NEVER clear coat the intake. With repeated heat cycles it will turn a yellowish gold. I always paint mine Argent silver. That closes the pores for stain resistance and stays looking aluminum. Two, Tune the idle timing by vacuum. The highest vacuum is what the engine likes best. Then adjust your mechanical timing to no more than 36 degrees, and be all in by 3000 RPMs. Then hook up vacuum advance to be no more than 41 degrees. It will run much better than you think. Your throttle tip in hesitation should go away also. These are round about figures, and just ideas for you. I like your videos.

[@markanderson2145]

Nice to see a Ford on a channel for a change. As someone already mentioned, make sure you hook up the vacuum advance. I believe it's the small port on the right hand side facing the carb. Don't forget to change springs on it as well. The people at Edelbrock are fantastic. Call the tech line and they will get you a tune that will get your nipples hard😛. LOL Enjoy!!

[@charleshoward9983]

From experience dont let other people drive your truck... Drive it yourself it will last longer. They will drive hell out of it tear it up and leave you with it. Just saying. 😂

[@lilorbielilorbie2496]

and another millennial learns how to drive a 3 on the tree. very cool imo.
