One of the best!

Thank you 🤠

Me too!

Hard to beat the old iron

Yes sir!

It should. The mirrocraft is a heavy tub(rated for 20 hp max). Might want to check how much power the lone star is rated for!

Completely agree, one of my favorites to run

I couldn’t agree more! Although, I am a bit biased ha!

@@mattsboatyard6891I have a few of these motors myself I love working on them! You got a new sub!

@rwoutdoors thank you! I subbed to your channel too. the OMCs of this era are just the best

@@mattsboatyard6891thank you! You got that right!

71 crew cab? Rare bird, very cool

Growing up, my dad had quite a few torinos/fairlanes which is how I got into those cars in the first place. One of em was a 70 fastback w/429 TJ that he had done a mild build up on. The car really flew and with highway gears wasn’t too bad on fuel if you stayed out of the accelerator pedal ;).

interesting, does your mav have a 302 in it? When i was testing the holley out on this F250, at certain speeds the holley was a little more responsive- punchier.

@@mattsboatyard6891 I haven't had the car in years, but it was a 302. An out of the box universal carb (Holley #1850) is a cheap carb. I'm not condemning the Holley. I just say that if you don't really know how to tear one down and tune it, it doesn't slap on and work as well as the Edelbrock. I think part of the problem was the throttle cable to pedal was made for a 2V carb. The 2V cable might not have been long enough to open the secondaries. I think the geometry of the Edelbrock was more forgiving. The secondaries always opened on the Edelbrock

I'm not sure if there are any differences between throttle cable lengths on 2v vs 4v cars- not an issue i have encountered to this point. On your experience with the holley- thats similar to what i experienced with the 390 on the F250. out of the box, the eddy worked just a bit better. All that said, my other old cars have holleys on em and run well. Both designs have their pros and cons

Thank you! It’s come along way ha! I am a big fan of the 352 FE w/cruise-o transmission combo. Real nice set up for this truck. I’m sure it works great in the Galaxie too

It’s not too bad for an old muscle car and it picked up some MPG’s with the gear vendors

It did change the angle very slightly but it actually made the angle even more neutral than it was before. Thats a nice thing about installing one of these in a car with just one single driveshaft. If you install a Gear Vendors into a truck, driveshaft angle issues are more likely, especially if there are multiple driveshafts in the driveline to begin with.

I can see the merits in both designs. Personally, I'm more in the holley camp too- all my other old cars/trucks have had Holleys(and the occasional Autolite). This F250 was my first time using an Edelbrock and I was impressed with how it performed on this truck- the factory calibration really seems to agree with this 390. After filming the video- I had bought a calibration kit for the Eddy and after some experimentation i ended up just setting it back to how it was from the start. It runs nice.

A 2-speed rear end would turn this torino into a 12 speed!

I feel dumb I hadn't noticed I got a response

If the impeller isnt located in the gear box of your motor, it sounds like you may be working on one of the Merc 200's that have a transmission. They look like the motor I use in this video but they don't have a conventional gear box. Changing the impeller on one of those motors is quite a process. Recommend a manual and/or watching some youtube videos on it!

Oh dear lol yeah it has FNR luckily I got the motor for free so I'm not at a loss if I can't make the tool to get the lock rings out

Your best bet will be to keep an eye on facebook marketplace and craigslist for a parts motor- or use your current motor as a parts motor since its locked up.

Keep an eye on eBay too. Tune up parts, impellers, carb kits, etc. sometimes come up on there for the flying scotts.

Maybe someday… it would definitely benefit from an overdrive

Ehh maybe someday…. Truck is working out pretty well as it is

@@mattsboatyard6891 all that matters in the end

I actually had to use an impeller for a 1950s era Mercury Mark 20/Mark 25 outboard because I couldn’t find one that cataloged for the 1963 Merc 200. It has worked well but I did need to file the key way out a little bit for it to fit

Lots of torque!

The baby FE! That is a pretty rare motor at this point.

I like it. The car has a sneaky sinister side to it with the styling

You can still get one! They’re out there

Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, new or old- heavy work trucks are big drinkers!

That’s awesome! I had no idea

I'm just like your son! 😂

@@Cosmetic_Astro he's had a computer since about 4 and probably since 5 or so he's been digging into so many advanced subjects. Like animals, medical, space travel, astronomy, and historical figures from many time periods. I consider myself a knowledgeable intelligent person and he blows me out of the water with some of the facts he is able to not only retain but understand. I thought I was a space nerd and he's over here naming stars and galaxies by their letter/number designation. We are both on the autism spectrum and he is a little deeper into it than I am but I would do the same when I was a kid jumping from thing to thing every couple months and learning so much in the process, he just does it on a shorter time scale than I did and it's pretty awesome.

Kearns was born in 1927. 1969 is when they started using his intermittent wipers 👌

I had no idea either.

I’m not sure what you mean on the video quality as it was uploaded in high def. You can change your video quality if it was blurry or something?

The video was really just meant to be a SHORT preview of the device functioning- I had installed it and was excited about it and thought others would find it interesting. the video showed the CC interface and the auto tune feature in action pretty clearly. I’m not the creator of the device nor affiliated with their business so i kept my explanation of the device short and simple as to not stumble over words or misrepresent it. If you have curiosity’s or questions on how it works or how I installed mine, you can always ask.

Sure is!!

F YEA MAN!! 🤘

I believe what caused the build up on the pushrod and some of the rockers was a valve cover breather cap that had been left slightly ajar(probably for years)- the rockers and pushrods directly below it all had some rust while the rest of the engine internals were extremely clean. I cleaned up the rust, reassembled and have been driving the truck ever since with no issues.

Big time agree with this

You're joking right?

@@brodyevans5526 obviously you don't know about engines that set up with gas that goes bad and runs locks up intake valves bends pushrods

​@@brodyevans5526old fuel can turn to a very sticky varnish that will get into the valve guides and stick the valves which leads to bent pushrods. It can also stick the piston rings as well.

Well it had some decade old gas in it when I got to the truck. However, I believe what caused the build up on the pushrod was a breather cap that had been left slightly ajar(probably for years)- the rockers and pushrods directly below it all had some rust while the rest of the engine internals were extremely clean. I cleaned up the rust, reassembled and have been driving the truck ever since with no issues.

@@mattsboatyard6891 usually it's rust/corrosion or varnish from bad gas or dirty oil that causes the valve guides to be too tight and when you crank the engine over it just bends the push rods. You got lucky if it's been fine since. If you ever run into this issue again spray all the valve stems down with penetrating oil and work the valves up and down with a brass or dead blow hammer before putting the pushrods back in, it will save a bunch of headaches later.

I agree with you.

I’m not sure about the availability of new replacement ignition components but carb kits and water pump kits are readily available for these old hondas. Check out eBay and boats.net. You’ll find what you need

Thank you for watching!

Me too!! Yehawwww

Yeah, not too shabby for an old truck!

Definitely has some pep

Hahaha it was so cold that day

The data logging is a cool feature

That sounds like a great rig too! Those 1960s 9.8's are nice running motors

@mattsboatyard6891 If I'm correct, 1966 was the first year they had the black cover and the newer ignition. Picked it up used, inthe mid 70's. It was used occasionally as auxiliary on a sailboat, so it had plenty of life in it!

They are great trucks man!

I need 10 seconds to tell you something Good! I care about you as a person, and tell you that The scriptures tell us that Jesus Christ died for people's sins! Whoever will have their faith in Him, that through Him, they'll be pardoned from the Judgement of their Sins by God, will be pardoned, and will be saved! Amen and good day 😊

😎

Thank you :)

Hey, thanks for the tip on the draggy! Looks like a very useful device and worth investing in for future videos. On the carbs, the Holley has vac secondaries but the Eddy's are mechanical. While driving the Holley, it felt like the secondaries were slow to open and that for acceleration performance this combination would benefit from a lighter secondary spring. On the other hand, I think that calibration was helping the MPG side, like you had suggested. Also, the Holley in this video has straight boosters.

The draggy… hmm
