  • In this video I perform a compression test on my 1967 Ford Mustang. This is the first in a series of videos where I refurbish my old engine without doing an entire engine rebuild.

    I had a '67 Mustang 289 when I was young (early 70's) lots of memories with that car.

    Hi Kat. There is one other test you can do to confirm your diagnosis and that a pressure differential test, like we use on the aircraft engines. Pressurize the cylinder to about 80 or 90 pounds with the cylinder at TDC power stroke. Then listen in the carb, in the exhaust port or tail pipe and the engine breather tube . If you hear noise from one of these it will tell you whats going on inside. For example if the pressure is escaping through the breather tube you have ring problems. If its coming out the exhaust its an exhaust valve or carb its intake valve issue.
    Good luck with the project. I was hoping to see you at the hanger but missed you.

    you like 60s mustangs and airplanes 🥰😍, and from florida omg that's awesome, enjoy your goals of driving your 60s mustang to the hanger to fly your personal plane and being a bad ass with aviator glasses... your parents or who ever raised you raised you, raised you right 🤟🤟.

    Really looking forward to the carburetor video, I have an old Steyr-Puch Engine that has one carb for each cylinder, luckily only got four of them but still a nightmare to adjust!

    Hello again Kat!!! Nice job and right like a pro would have done. Not nuts about oil additives personally, but hopefully it works for you. My 67 gt has a built 460 big block. Talk about having no room to pull sparkplugs, and the headers? Would have to pull the engine up about six inches. Thanks for sharing and see you on the next one! Cheers from Motown/Dearborn, home of the Mustang.

    Nice Kat When I had my 68 Mustang I ran 2 Holly 600 carbs Duel carbs. Just a comment get rid of that Elde Carb, because the left float goes to the right bank and the right float feed the left bank. Junk. Go Holly Carb. Trust me. I would not let you down ever.

    This is one place Ford made things easier than Chevy. The starter solenoid was mounted on the inner fender or firewall for easy access. Instead of being mounted on the starter.
    Can anyone tell me why Chevy always mounted it on the starter?
