      Seeing these cars sell at auction for $30- 220k people assume their car is still worth $10-20k. Just a $3k paint job is all it needs (in their mind)

    I knew she'd fire! I love a good 302. At the very least the engine is worth rebuilding even if the rest of the car isn't. Lots of real good parts on it. The glass intact is huge. Good job!

  • @grumerguy
    @grumerguy 25 дней назад +3

    I fully believe she's gonna spark up. As long as the points are good and the distributor cap is intact and the rotor is clean and it has fuel. It should fire up.

  • @edword2874
    @edword2874 25 дней назад +4

    Pull the valve covers off to get an idea of the health of the motor. When trying to get it going try loosening the distributor and play with the timing. Sounds like it's too advanced.

    • @HotRodGuyGarage

      The old starter was bad, I grabbed a later model one out of the junk pile so I didn't expect it to be much better everything I've changed has been junk sitting around the shop.

    Could be those ancient spark plug wires. Id go ahead and replace the points and plug wires for sure. Both my 58 cadillac and 68 Mustang are still on points and i can tell when they start to not run smoothly its time to check the points, and they are usually the culprit.

    Years ago we were stuck on a trail when the fuel pump went out…. Took a rear gear lube bottle and taped it upside down to the A pillar ran a fuel line to the vent on carb filled bottle with gas and ever so often gave the bottle a squeeze to fill the bowls. I have used that as a make shift get stuff to run system ever since. Just st an idea

    The Motorcraft plug wires, etc would be service part replacements - the Autolite name was still used by Ford in '70. Ford switched to the Motorcraft name in '72. Makes me think that car may have been dealer serviced until it was left to rot. What a shame. I have that same Snap-On flex head ratchet, bought in the '70s.

    There's definitely some stuck or bent valves. There's a lot of lope when you crank it. Take the valve covers off and tap them with a brass hammer. I've seen your buddy Vice Grip do it.😅

    Damn shame, it must have been a really nice car at one point until somebody decided to park it in the woods as an 'investment' for later. Even if it never drives again, at least the parts on it can go to keeping other ones like it on the road.
