Hey taylor, part of rhe fun of an older truck is the working on them. Ive got a 1964 F100 I've been working on for rhe last two years. When I bought the truck the original engine and transmission were long gone. I ended up with 351M from a 78 truck. Ive been driving the truck for over a year but recently its developed a problem under acceleration. Ive had that darn fuel pump off twice so i know the pain!:) When my grandkids ask me how i know so much i explain to them its because of all the times i messed up! If you learn something its not a failure! Dont stop trying!
Best way to check a fuel pump is remove the fuel line where it goes into the filter. Hold the line in a fuel can or clean bottle. Have someone crank it. Should get a solid stream of fuel. If not most likely a bad pump BUT on these old vehicles I've had to drop the fuel tank often. The tank has a sock or in tank filter that can become partially plugged. I tend to just cut them off and add a near tank inline filter. Like the one you showed in the engine compartment. Cool truck 👍
My old ford sat in a familys hay barn for 30 years as an heirloom. Mice could have put a "no occupancy" sign on it, and the barn swallows were there homeland security. Old trucks never let ya have things easy. I essentially replaced my whole fuel system with modern components more friendly to todays pump gas.
Hey Taylor, I wondered what the truck was in your avatar. Being a fan of the blue oval, I could tell it was a Ford and narrowed it down to a 70’s model. Couldn’t tell which year though. Awesome trucks. I have a ‘74 one ton dually with 390 auto and a ‘77 high boy 4x4 with a 460 4 speed. ‘77 was the last year of the high boy. Also have a ‘79 bronco 4x4 with a 351m and a 4 speed I affectionately call “bronczilla”. Did I mention I like old Fords? Anyway, the fuel system is pretty simple. With your determination and lack of fear of getting greasy or breaking a nail you’ll figure it out. Love the dairy vlogs but how about more on your truck adventures. Thanks for the ride along.
If you have the problem where it has to sit for a few minutes before it restarts, It might have to do with the clutch. Replacing the throwout bearing fixed my problem.
😁One year ago, OK... by now it should be running like a bobcat after a jack wabbit. I replaced my old ford pump with an electric fuel pump . Never be afraid of a new challenge. They have manuals of all kinds. great videos Thanks
Hope u got your truck running. Another little problem could be gasket between your fuel tank and sender Usually top of tank Allowing air in line Good luck
It's a lot of work, but dropping the tank, flushing it out, installing a new pickup sock, blow out/replace the fuel lines, add a new filter, can save long term headaches, eliminate one more no-start cause.
Hi taylor! Thats one sweet 74! That feul filter should be befire the feul pump! Also it could of been cause were thr filter was could of clogged the pump and would make it not pump rite! Also check your timing cause if its off wont star or run right! And take one of your emerboards for your finger nails and use it to clean your pionts and your rotor and cap well helps lots also clean your wire connection ( all of them) a bad ground can cause a lot of issues! Make sure your spark plug wire are good and no wite are crossed and that they are fasten rite! And as far as that transmission you have start out in second gear! 1st in that year is a drep reduction / granny gear!!
Hiya Tay, Good video, thank you. There is an old saying for when you check something like this. This is not meant to be personal to you, but it's KISS, Keep It Simple Stupid; I would replace the fuel line and filter before you do anything else. How easy it is to block a fuel line on an older engine always amazes me. I'm sure you can find a few thousand YT videos on spraying or doing up the truck. Stay safe, Steve...
I use ultra copper Permatex for coolant gaskets, and black RTV for transmission pans, oil pans, and differentials. I put the black RTV on the pan side. The Permatex ultra copper usually use one both sides of the gasket the pump and the thermostat housing.
Sweet truck, my dream truck was 1979 Ford f250 I had two, love them old trucks.... To eliminate some things, pour a little fuel in the carb and see if it hits, then you definitely know your not getting fuel and the ingnition system is ok
thank you for sharing. you have a nice truck there. I like to hear it running soon. I know you will get it going. Seems like your doing everything right keep going.. liked your chickens in the back ground too.. lol
Missing/skipping the easy solution is something that happens when I troubleshoot as well. Recently I've discovered how much those kind of things can be avoided by simply using the old pen and paper :)
It's really amazing. You are one of the who is able to anything, you're confident about all stuffs. It's really a big deal to fix it and run it. But you have a super power to fix it by speaking ❤️❤️❤️ Santosh Raj Hrithik
I could tell by the starter cranking sound that IGNITION is not taking place. Which simply means NO FUEL coming in to the combustion chambers. Troubleshooting is simple like cattle farming. Have fun 👍😂
Put gas in the carburetor and try it out it might start and pull gas in the filter . You can also try an air compressor put hose to the gas tank with a rag on the opening and have someone watch if the gas will go in the filter it might help ?
The fun of working on older vehicles. If it is not the fuel filter. Use a small gas can and run a hose to the fuel pump and then try it if that works you have an issue before the pump if there’s no change suspect the pump. newer fuels will eat the diaphragm in the pump. Loved the chickens in the background. Wish you the best with your project.
Do you know for certain it's a fuel related issue? Have you tried putting a tiny amount of gas in the carb to see if it starts? A truck that age could have a clogged or rusted out fuel line going to the tank, if the pump is good it won't be able to pull fuel up to the carb. Did any fuel come out of the line to the pump when you took it off? It should have. I noticed that in line filter by the carb was filthy.There could be rust in the tank too, that's where a clear in line filter between tank and pump comes in handy. Hope this helps 👍
That’s exactly how I got it going! Replaced the whole fuel line from tank to carb. Then poured gas directly into the carburetor. Fired right up after that! Thanks for commenting!!
It could be the spring or diafram is worn out in the old pump. Make sure you got fuel by checking the gauge and knocking on the fuel tank. Sometimes the gauge don't work intermittently. It looks like you installed the pump right except for you didn't use RTV on both sides of the gasket.
It's probably the fuel pump. Usually they will give a core exchange if you can't find a rebuild kit for it to rebuild yourself take the old one to the parts store to exchange for rebuilt or new one. Probably that old of one they probably are rebuilt ones at the part store you will to check to see if they have one first before you go there.
It could be the fuel pump is warn out. The armature rides and camshaft and inside of it there is a diafram that moves up and down that pumps the fuel. Usually it is a crack in the diafram. It is good to change the fuel filter after changing the fuel pump.
Just saying, if the diaphragm in the fuel pump has a hole in it, check to make that gasoline didn’t get in the crankcase. Somewhere’s in this post I believe you said the truck was a 1974. 351M didn’t show up in the F series truck until 1977, so, you will likely have to order a fuel pump from the engine information on the valve cover. Something else that I noticed, you need a rad shroud. Without it, the truck will overheat.
Knock on the bottom of the fuel tank like it is a door, sometimes the wiring is no good the gauge at the top of fuel the wiring might be corroded or something. Also the float in the older vehicles ride on a twisted flat rod and can get stuck and give false rating to the fuel tank gauge.
I had a 77 F100. It had one of the first brain box and they tended to go bad very quickly. The 74 shouldn't have one but the symptoms would be the same.
You commented that your truck is a 1974 with a 351M. The 351M didn’t show up in the F series trucks until 1977, so if you are ordering parts, either take the old part with you., or get the information off the valve cover sticker.(if it’s still there). I also noticed that you need a rad shroud, or it will heat up. The grille is from a 1976 or 77. Us old Ford notices these things.
@@tayfarms It doesn’t matter if it’s all pieced together. Sometimes they become one of your best and trusted vehicles. You put it together yourself. You know what you have when you’re done
There is another thing in the tank called fuel sending unit my 1966 Impala has a mechanical one on motor and fuel sending unit in tank too. my homies 1970 Jeepster too same thing 2 one on the motor and one in tank
Great stuff!! Thank you !! I would check to see if you have a fuel filter on the frame rail. If not take suction line off of fuel pump and see if you can blow back to the tank with gas filler cap off. If you use compressed air, use low pressure. Make sure you have a clear path for the fuel from the tank to the pump. Stay safe and God bless you and yours !!! Eddy
The 351M is not an FE motor, and it isn’t a big block. It is from the 335 engine family along with 351C and the 400. The 351W belongs to the Windsor family along with the 302. The 351C was discontinued for 1975.
Sometimes with these old trucks you need to prime them by simply pouring a small amount of gas into the carburetor the truck will start if it runs more then a minute or two it worked lol
Spray some either in the carb ,just enough to see if it fires ,,then if it fires ,its not ur wiring ,,,fuel pump ,fuel filter ,,or new fuel line ,,fuel tank ,,
Need a update on the truck did you get it running ?. If not when you had the lines off did you blow back threw the lines and if you did . Did you hear it bubbling in the tank ?
Hiya Taylor, I forgot I do that a lot; forget that is. Anyway, I forgot to call you Miss Dolittle, as you always seem to have animals talking to you. Did you succeed in getting her running? Stay safe, Steve...
@@tayfarms I had a 78 Olds. I replaced everything including the fuel pump. It still wouldn't start. It turns out it was a cracked line coming out of the gas tank.
You might consider swapping a newer engine into it someday. A lot of the problems will go away with a newer EFI engine. I also have an old truck and trying to fight the dying old carb engine is a losing battle. You're right, it will always be something.

Wow nice truck. I had a 75 F250. All original. Love ❤️ Fords
I will ask the obvious... Is there fuel in the tank? Catching this video in September 2023, so... Did you ever get it running?

Taylor I applaud you for getting dirty and trying, the chickens were applauding as well 😜
They might sell rebuild kits for the fuel pump and remanufactured fuel pumps. There is a diafram inside of the fuel pump that wears out.
Nice.
Change fuel line from tank to pump
The old FE is fine if you keep up the maintainace same with any motor.

Have you gotten around to painting? Or is that on the list for this year? Also do you go on it atving much?
Very handy young lady to have around the farm. Is there anything that you can't do
Spray some either in the carb ,just enough to see if it fires ,,then if it fires ,its not ur wiring ,,,fuel pump ,fuel filter ,,or new fuel line ,,fuel tank ,,
Don’t give up !!
Really nice truck! Hope the fuel filter is the fix!
Love watching you sn your husband
Not Fan..Of Ford's But I Like That OL' , Taylor..!!!!
I would use a metal inline fuel filter as plastic can crack and cause a fire
Good luck with it
Hi Tay! Did you ever get the motor to turn over? Thank you.
Cool 😎
Fuel pump is sucking air, something is broke between pump and tank.
That mechanical fuel pump people probably only use black RTV on both sides of the gasket.
What part of Maine are you in
Could be the diaphragm in the pump
Ms. Taylor. You haven’t had any gas
In the engine oil have you?
You might have air in lines
Just read in another comment that you got it going . Good for you
Check fuel filter
Need a update on the truck did you get it running ?. If not when you had the lines off did you blow back threw the lines and if you did . Did you hear it bubbling in the tank ?
I did finally manage to get it going, I did post a video of it on my channel if you wanna take a look…

pump diaframe (sorry spelling) , or fuel tank is blocked
It also looked like you had a hole in one of the gas lines where there was a clamp
Yeah the whole thing was pretty bad. ended up replacing the entire fuel line . runs like a top now. Thanks for commenting!!
👍
11:11 what’s not to love about that face? 😇
If your getting fuel to the carb, check if you have spark. Nice truck!
At least your tryin
Did you ever get your truck running?
Yes I did! The entire fuel line needed to be replaced
@@tayfarms I had a 78 Olds. I replaced everything including the fuel pump. It still wouldn't start. It turns out it was a cracked line coming out of the gas tank.
Antique I remember when those trucks were new
😅
You need to put some fuel in line that goes to the carburetor so you have vacuum for the fuel pump to suck your fuel from the tank
It is not firing
Put some gas in the card
And try it
Check the screen in the gas tank. It is on the pick up screen. Have to drop the tank to do it.
You might consider swapping a newer engine into it someday. A lot of the problems will go away with a newer EFI engine. I also have an old truck and trying to fight the dying old carb engine is a losing battle. You're right, it will always be something.

Check your timing..

Hahahaha The dog ate the 9/16 wrench?!
The fuel line from the tank didn't have any gas leaking out , so " Karl Childers " from "anit no gas in it " !!!!!
