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.
1988 got a 63 mercury comet four-door one 170 cu 3 on 3 . Rebuilt 200 cu & automatic , new tires, new windshield, body job and paint $800 was total investment. My wife drove it for over 20 years. ❤this car you have with the 260 v8 nice , needs to be saved ! They are lot a fun to drive
What a sweet running 260! She will be a great car when it's all done. Like I said before, it's awesome to see you and your Dad working together! I have a 66 Barracuda formula S, 4 speed with a 273 that I tinker with in my spare time. I'm 75 now and still work on it! I have had a health problem I would like to tell you about sometime. The Lord bless ya'all!
You sure cannot beat those old ford's. They run good because there are no computers! Really enjoyed this video. You and your dad really work good together!
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.
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
Rev, you and the old man reminds me of me and my grandaddy (RIP) . Always a pleasure to watch.... old rigs problems I hate......leaks. i.e. oil, transmission and radiator....
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
My prayers are with your mama and your whole family. This was a great video guys congratulations on getting the Mercury running and driving. The guys had a blast at the end. Keep up the good work and God bless you 👍✌️🇺🇲
I love this show I love the family and God stuff and I'm a car guy so any car or truck I'm glued. Rev you be nice to Ole man he knows where you sleep. 😀 I'll tell you what the chevy square body truck builds were super fun. I wish yall blessings in Jesus christ name amen. Hahaha while I write this you said you apologized much respect to you rev being humble is love for self and others.
Oh my goodness! Another aewsome aewsome video! I really loved it! It was so much fun and entertaining to watch! Thank yall so much for doing what you do! You guys are to aewsome! God bless!
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.
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
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.
You guys are the best people and you do good work and save cars & trucks I think you should buy a new hood big supper fan of the channel say hello to the family thanks
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
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!😵💫😎👍👍
Great video as usual. My dads first car is a 65 Comet (soon to be mine) was pulled out of storage after 30 years and it is not far from being back on the road. I'm gonna drive it to my Senior Prom
@@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
Hey Rev im from madison ga and i love old cars currently have a 65 dart just got it unstuck trying to hear it run this weekend yall give me motivation!!!!
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 😊
Thats a strong running 260. Rev and the ole man are so fun to watch. Having fun with these old cars. Ole Man driving theses old cars and seeing you both have fun is awesome. Rev is there going to be update video on Nikki T Bishop ford Bronco? God bless to you both. Thank you for the video's and the channel
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!
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.
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.
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
That runs incredible ! I believe the mileage with the condition of the interior and pedals hardly worn. Replace the brake light switch , i noticed they are not working.
My dad had rotator surgery a few years back. His was pretty bad. Surgeon said my dad had arthritis, and bursitis. took almost 10 months for him to fully recover. Tell your mom to work hard and don't give up on physical therapy even if you have to do it yourself. Its a long road to recovery but if she sticks with it she will get back to 100%. I have seen others have the same surgery and give up on physical therapy after only 30 days or so. Unfortunately All of those people have limited use of their arm.
You put grease on the pad on the points and I agree with you that old brake systems are terrible when rusted. That piece on the throttle linkage is supposed to keep the throttle from sticking if you brake the drivers side motor support
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.
Tell you what, Rev, this channel wouldn’t be as entertaining without the old man. The chemistry between you two is unparalleled!
I agree..
I second that
Your a great American David.
Y'all did it again Rev! Never had a doubt about it. Can't wait to see what's next. This is truly one of the best channels on RUclips. God bless y'all.
Thanks Ryan, God Bless!
And I thought I was a big kid. I really enjoy watching you to having fun and and acting like a couple of kids.
Yep, smiling and having fun is a good thing even for adults..
Hey buddys good to see y'all again good luck with the comet wireing see y'all soon
I always wait for you guys to post. I love you and your videos. God bless you and me and Noah my son loves you
Thanks Todd and Noah!

I love seeing time lapsed cleaning and whatnot.
Would be nice to see a series on fixing up this beauty.

Rev, you and the old man reminds me of me and my grandaddy (RIP) . Always a pleasure to watch.... old rigs problems I hate......leaks. i.e. oil, transmission and radiator....
Cool little car- like to see it all straightened out and cleaned up
Great Video as always Rev! Will be praying for your Mama and her surgery.
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!
I think she’ll clean up beautifully!!

What frustrated me, was finding the proper parts for them..
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
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.
Great video. I'm glad you posted keep them coming thanks .
Your right there’s nothing more frustrating than working on the brakes 👍🏼
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
Yes sir.. we understand for sure!
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.
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.

little 260's sounding like a good little engine.

You guys are the best people and you do good work and save cars & trucks I think you should buy a new hood big supper fan of the channel say hello to the family thanks
Wiring of old vehicles.then the brake lines .from Flint Michigan Gordon
When your mom has surgery I hope she has a speedy recovery.
Still planning and scheduling... Thanks for your concern. God Bless.

Awesome Trenton.. have fun and stay safe!
@@RevStoration Oh I will for sure!
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
@@Trenton-om9qs Any first start after 30 years would be interesting to see. Let me know if you so post it.
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
Hey Rev im from madison ga and i love old cars currently have a 65 dart just got it unstuck trying to hear it run this weekend yall give me motivation!!!!
Awesome.. we at a Valentine Meal on Friday at Ricardo's.. Pretty good groceries.. Thanks for watching!
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!!!!
Great video, Rev! Sweet little car! You-all do good work! Cheers!😁👍🛠️
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 😊

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!
Thanks Kat.. rusted exhaust bolts are no fun either.
Just wanted to say hello my friends Big hi to Nikki T God Bless 💟
Thanks Mary!

So true.. thanks!
Try some L A total awesomeness. From the dollar store. It get he all clean up. Many blessings to you and your family
Thanks for the tip!
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
Good to see old Lemonade on the road and spitting gravel!

good episode guys, i hate timing. I would love to have that comet, thats a nice piece. You just dont see them anymore
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
Hello Rev and the ole man
Love you guys, always look forward to your videos,God bless
Awesome it’s running good lord what a ford I love that lol
Amen... Good Lord what a Ford! Thanks for watching..
That runs incredible ! I believe the mileage with the condition of the interior and pedals hardly worn. Replace the brake light switch , i noticed they are not working.
What a great car and needs to be save the only thing that could make that 63 better is if it was a wagon!

That little piece of felt on those points you're supposed to put oil on that lubricate's that cam. 👍
Great video
I've never had any luck with points ignition, I'll convert any of them over to HEI every time 😁
Your spoiling the ole girl with a full ignition rebuild.
She liked it too!
