    I had 1964 Ford falcon with a v- 8, 4 door, got the looks, the boys weren't looking at me ...sadly..damn I loved that car!❤

    In all my years as a Technician, I have never seen any rodents in the cylinders! I have found them in carbs, intake manifolds, and exhausts! Great video Rust Rangler, you have come a long way since you started. That Falcon will make a great project or daily driver when cleaned up and a few floors patched up! I had a '61 Futura Coupe with a 144, bucket seats and console in Hawaii in '77 when stationed and took back to the mainland later that year when moved back. Fun car to drive.

      I appreciate the kind words Robert. I couldn’t believe how well that motor ran after it fired up, because I had my doubts on if I was going to be able to pull those mice out without pulling the heads. And I can’t remember if you mentioned before that you were stationed in Hawaii, but thank you for your service sir!

    Hey man not trying to be a know it all Charlie but having been a mechanic for over 60 years and also worked in a couple of Ford dealerships the next time you get a stuck motor like the one you just worked on do your self a favor and pull the valve cover to make sure that you dont have any valves that are stuck closed otherwise you might end up with some bent push rods!! You got lucky there with that one for sure but nice job getting it running though and I have seen mice crawl up through the exhaust system and build there nests inside the cylinders before!

    • @Rustwrangler
      @Rustwrangler  7 месяцев назад

      Definitely, I probably should have pulled the valve cover, but I was trying my best to not have to. Thankfully it all worked out!

    Seems like all these old cars that sat for years, 3 +decades, were parked for really unusual reasons. Did they just get tired of the cars and parked them and bought something newer? Were told they were not worth anything on a trade?? I just can’t figure out why they would park a good running car for no reason. Glade this was a successful save!!
    Like your videos!

    • @Rustwrangler
      @Rustwrangler  26 дней назад

      Thank you! That’s an interesting thought, it does seem like quite a few of these older cars were just parked and forgotten with no issues, but I do think quite a few of them would have gotten a few small things starting to go wrong, and then most people seem to not want to deal with it anymore, so they upgrade. And in certain areas it seems as though if the previous owner doesn’t feel it has any value to them, then it’s worthless to others as well, so they park it and forget it.

  • @friguy4444
    @friguy4444 7 месяцев назад

    In my humble opinion. The fuel lines have an unsealed area. There's a place where it;s not totally sealed so it's sucking partial air when the pump is trying to pull fuel. I'd say it's where the fuel was dripping.......Oh you just said it in the video as I'm commenting. LOL. Funny!

    • @Rustwrangler
      @Rustwrangler  7 месяцев назад

    Problem with forcing an engine and not being patient is damage to rings and cylinders. Don't know why people use marvel when you don't know what is or what it does...atf and acetone or atf and diesel is always the way to go. Soak em for a couple days come back to it. For the rodent vacuum or torch. Admire the determination in getting inline to rotate.

    this car should have a plate under the carburator that warm water run all time...thru and in to the heater element...you only change airflow between or through the heater element. if you want heat or cool air to the inside of the car. There should be a gasolinefilter in metal that is
    sitting by nuts but 2 diferent dimension front -end...directly to the pump and from the tank.
