Hey Alf , just helped my girlfriend restore her 66 mustang to a beautiful ford metallic Sautern Gold with a 200 inline 6 which runs great she had power steering installed and new aluminum Radiator, she so happy 😊
1965 - 200 C.I. Inline 6-Cylinder, Was manual but three speed automatic was installed prior to owning it since 1987. Replaced Gas Tank, Oil Pan Seal, Sway Bar bushings, working on Heater and Valve Cover Seals now. Saving this video for future Water Pump replacement :-)
Okay- got a 1965 Falcon, 4 door, 200 engine w. Autolite 1100 carb., C4 trans, 3.20 rear axle, manual steering & drum brakes. Pulled the head the other day and found 2 pock-marked pistons. Somethin' got down there before I got the car ! Easy fix. Fun car.
Hey Alf! About to rebuild my grandpas 66' Mustang inline six 200 with my cousin! He's a ford mechanic. I am certainly most not a mechanic. Thanks for the help!
Fantastic - thank for demonstrating how to get to the water pump without taking out the radiator first! I really appreciate your time and expertise to film and post this. Thanks again, subscribing ASAP...
Great no nonsense video, straight to the point! I have a 66 mustang with a 200 V.I. 6 with a C4 trans behind it. It is 27 degrees here this morning, I removed the fan yesterday before it got dark and will be swapping out my pump as soon as it warms up today.
Cool camera angles! I have a ‘71 Maverick, 200 engine. The tube for the heater hose had a leak, I replaced the water pump. I used a large piece of cardboard between the fan and radiator-saved my knuckles from getting thrashed!
Thank you so much for the EXCELLENT video! I own a 66 with a 200 C.I. 6 cylinder. So, this video is exactly what I needed. I appreciate your instructive narration and exceptional camera skills. Thanks again for taking the time to put this together!
Just came across this video of yours. I've got a 65 coupe that I'm slowly going to get road worthy again and this really helped me out a lot. Thanks! 😊
Just had the engine rebuilt… so I’m putting on all the goodies to start it up. I really like your videos. Thank you for sharing. This is my first toy car.
I’ve got a 64 Fairlane 500 with an inline six 200 that I’m starting to restore after it sat idle for 36 years. I’ve found your videos very informative.
Alf, thanks for the instructions. Great video quality and clear instructions. Extremely helpful. I also have a 66 with a 200 C.I. 6 cylinder. Now, I've just got to do it. I'll let you know how it went. GP
You're very welcome. One thing to mention that I think I left out of the video is to make sure those bolts that go into the coolant jacket get thread sealant or you'll be leaking from the bolts.
Hello, if you need more engagement I am happy to help. I have a 65 Mustang Convertible, 200 cid c3 auto transmission non a/c, all stock in Tropical Turquoise with a standard black interior. Its all original except for the top which appears to have been replaced in 1988. I have used several of your video's as a guide to work on my car. Front window gasket replacement, front shock replacement, etc. I just changed the rear leaf springs and will be rebuilding the front suspension next. I would love to see video's about working on all of the basic work that can be done on my car in my garage with basic hand tools. Engine, drive shafts, etc. changing out the old and installing new non 55 year old parts. Also, to be greedy, I live in Orlando and would love a video on adding an aftermarket stock looking air con system, the summers can be rough around here. Please continue your video's and keep up the great work.
Awesome thanks Scott! I've been trying to focus on a lot of things that most people can do on their own. But mostly I'm limited to filming what I get hires to do. Luckily for now, I've got a lot of jobs lined up. Thanks for sharring your car. Sounds like an amazing machine.
@@AlfsMustangGarage I am a complete newbie at this, I bought the car back in February 2020 and been trying to find my through all of this. Your channel had been very helpful and is very much appreciated. The engine you are working on in this video appears to be the exact same engine in my car. I am watching with great interest.
@@brokah09g Right on Scott, ya I've got a few more 6 cylinder stuff coming so hopefully you can still get help at least with the little things. Don't be afraid to ask questions, I'll do my best to answer.
Alf, I’m glad I found the channel. I’ve got a ‘66 Mustang 200ci w/ a C4. I’m always looking for inline 6 videos. Anything related to diagnosing or tracing electrical gremlins would be awesome. Things revolving around the turn signal switch in particular. I’ve burned through 3 trying to diagnose my own problems w/ turn signals, brake lights, & horn. Its a real pain, especially for us DIYers.
Awesome! Glad to have you on board! So I definitely need more electrical videos. Especially turn signal stuff. I know electrical and be frustrating for a lot of people. The problem is I'm mostly limited to what I get hired to work on. So whatever particular job comes in, I'm usually filming it. One of these days if I get big enough, I would love to pull in all my personal cars and just film any sort of content. I will definitely keep that in the back of my mind though because electrical is something we definitely need more help with.
Most of the electrical problems I had came down to old wires and bad grounds. I ordered the Painless Wiring harness for my 65 Mustang. It came with many new plugs, however, there were several that I needed to re-use or order new plugs for. Its called painless, but I lost the most blood during this project. :) I hope you figure it out.
Hey Alex. Great videos, I've used many of your videos for information. I've got a 66 200 which I've just finished a 5 year 1st time restoration. Thanks for your help.
Greetings ! Nick here from sunny Northridge, CA.I have a '67 Ford with straight Inline V6 engine. The engine is stuck as the crack shaft will not badge even after using a breaker bar. I am ready to take it apart and I know I will be glued to your channel for all your wonderful videos. I need all the help I can get since this is my first time. So glad to find your channel, I just hope someday I can get this '67 running again. Hope to hear from you. Stay safe!
I've had a 65 and a 68 Mustang, both V8s. Now looking at Falcons which seem to be heavy on the 6s, so trying to learn about them. Great video quality! Thanks!
Excellent video! I purchased a 65 inline 6 200 last year, upgraded to 4 disc brakes, front and rear suspension systems. Purchased a 6-to-2 exhaust header off eBay to to start upgrading the whole exhaust system into dual exhaust. I am currently investigating two issues: 1) ticking noise when on drive or reverse with brake pressed. Does not happen when on park or neutral. 2) rpm does not go above 2000 when pressed on park or during driving...
Sounds like you're going to have a pretty sweet 6 when you're all done. I'm probably not going to be much help diagnosing noise problems. However, whatever is making that noise is something that is happening when the engine is under load. So you're going to consider anything that may be shifting or flexing as the engine torques to one side. I've seen transmission cooler lines rattle, vacuum advance lines rattle or perhaps you are experiencing engine pinging (detonation). Hope you get it figured out.
Love these videos... I have a 65 mustang that has garaged for 29 years. It needs some repairs before I can get it back on the road. I am working on replacing the rear main seal and the clutch right now. I have no mechanical experience so these videos are great!!
As always, you make it look so easy, Alf! Appreciate all your videos. Any tricks for flushing/refilling the coolant? I need to do this job on my ‘65 i6 coupe and want to make sure I do it properly. Also planning to replace my temp sending unit since my temp gauge isn’t working. Need to check electrical on that too but figured I’d start with a new TSU as well. Thank you again!
Thank you. One thing I forgot about on this video is putting thread sealant on the water pump bolts. One of them passes through into the coolant jacket. As far as tricks to flush....well I have a radiator flush machine so that's my trick 🤣
Hey man. Quick thank-you for the video. It wasn't something I was afraid to do and was sure I'd figure it out, but it was nice to watch a video like this and kind of know exactly how things would go. In my case, I decided to swap out the radiator, hoses, belt and Thermostat while I was at it. But it all began with the pump and this video. (Note: i have a 66 Falcon but obviously everything under the hood is identical). Thanks again. Justin
Hi, your video s great, however we have a 65 Mustang, 6 cylinder 200 ci.. We had to remove the radiator because the bolts were too long. Just an FYI. But your video was very helpful.
69 Mach 1. Raven Black with yellow stripes. 390 paired with the C6 auto trans. Hopefully I can get it in there to you and your subscribers can get a peak sometime soon. Needs some help with the power steering.
Hello again!!! Great video. A couple of comments, positive of course. When I teach classes for our car club on different restoration topics, I try to teach as if my audience has never turned a wrench. Little things that someone like yourself and me take for granted. Example in your video the importance of checking the treads on the bolts. Are they clean, crossed, wore out, rusted. The correct length bolts. Wire wheel them. Are the threads in the block clean? Run a tap through them to make sure they are free of years of dried sealant and antifreeze. If the bolt threads into an open water jacket then they must be sealed. So many times guys want to hurry the job. Do it right and you will do it once. I love your videos. Straight forward, simple but detailed. Camera is steady and focused. No cussing and foul talk. And you have a positive attitude which shows an passion for your work. As I said yesterday I’m restoring a 65 convertible with a 200/C4. This is a full restoration. Had to weld in floor pans, inner rockers, rear frame rails, torque boxes, rear quarters. Sheet work metal is done. Sprayed color on the inside of the trunk, inside floor pans last night. My finished car is a 63 Falcon convertible with a 66 200/T5 with Triples. That has been my daily driver for 13 years now. I love straight 6’s especially the Ford 200. Keep up the great work!!! Looking forward to the next video. Bob
Wow Bob I really appreciate the time you took to leave such a long thoughtful comment. I will definitely take your advise about teaching as if someone has never turned a wrench but of course I won't spend 20 minutes on how to turn a wrench. My next video I'm working on is installing a cylinder head on this same 200 straight 6. I did take a little more time in explaining all the little things to do especially on these particular engines. But yes, I do love the 200s. Great engines and hard to find stuff for them if you need original stuff. I think too many people over the years threw these away for 289s in their cars. But anyways that video should be posting on Friday so let me know what you think of that one. Again, much appreciated.
You ROCK! Your videos have saved my project!!! If I may ask… My 65 Mustang has been… let’s say creatively manipulated over the years and I’m trying to make it close to correct and safe. The clutch linkage springs and mounts are not clear to me any advice there? Again, thank you for sharing.
You know, I deal with stuff like that daily. Over 50 plus years, too many hands have been working on it. Repairs are made based off the resources people have at the moment. So lets talk clutch linkage. I do have a recent video on the z-bar bushings. You get a pretty good look at the lower spring that connects the clutch fork to the z-bar. There is an upper spring that connects the upper portion of the z-bar to the firewall and for that you're welcome to send me an email and I'll send you some pictures. My email is in the "about" section on my main channel page.
Hey, Alf, I loved your hi-def camera angles and your narration to match. I want to fit a new radiator, shroud, and electric fan to my own Mustang six. Can you tell me the distance you measure from the plane of the radiator attachment on the radiator support stamping to the nub at the front of the water pump where the fan pulley attaches?
@@AlfsMustangGarage No problem, Alf. I will be tuning in to your videos now that I have discovered your channel. I'll share my cooling solution with you when I hopefully succeed.
Oh hey... I see you're still rocking the gloves!! Good time to use them when it comes to putting silicone on those gaskets. Keep up the good work. I really enjoy your videos, very informative. 😄
I actually have a few water pumps, some OEM and early aftermarket that might need rebuilding. Also, have One that is an early rebuilt OEM water pump from Ford, and also that aluminum water pump in your video. I'm just figuring out which one I should use. I would like to use the early rebuilt water pump with casting numbers, but don't know for sure how good are the bearings from all these years/decades inside the Ford box. Don't know if it should be rebuilt again or is it good to install.
@@AlfsMustangGarage I was also wondering if you use the same gasket sealer for the thermostat housing. My ultra black silicon gasket just arrived today.
I have since started using something better for thermostat housings and water pumps. Its still made by permatex but its specifically for water pumps and thermostat gaskets. I have used the ultra black before with good results but I'll put a link in here for the other stuff I've started using. amzn.to/3vKKeNq
I'm bringing back to live my 69 mustang and this is an amazing video. I may sound stupid but does the engine has a thermostat? Or is just Temp sensor? Thanks.
After watching this video and the in-line 6 head series I had a question. On the head video you called out that one of the head studs was a "through" stud, one that penetrated into the coolant system galleries. You coated that bolt with some permatex sealant. For this water pump are all 3 bolts here non-though bolts? Seemed like the top left one spouted a lot of coolant when yo removed it. Was it a "through" bolt thus requiring the same permeated treatment? Thanks for the great video. FYI I have a 66 in-line six and someday will require a new pump. Just not today!
Yes! You need to watch out for those through bolt holes. The water pump bolts need thread sealant on the ones that pass through. I forgot to cover that for the water pump. Need to redo that video!
Thank you for posting this video, I just started following your channel and your videos have been most helpful. One question I noticed you didn’t mention anything about the thermostat in this video, I’m a newbie with these engines so could you please clarify if these motors have one ? Thank You.
Awesome! Thanks for subscribing. So these engines do have thermostats. It's located directly above the water pump. The upper radiator hose connects to the thermostat housing.
Alf, can I please ask you about that for a ride home on the water pump and what it is for? I don’t see that it is a through haul and I’m just curious what the purpose of it is?
I’m new to your channel and I found it in search of replacing parts on my 1964 fairlane with a 200ci. It seems hard at least for me to find parts for it because everything I’m looking for comes up for mustang 200ci. Are the parts interchangeable on the two? As far as water pump intake and return location and fuel pump inlet and outlet, etc
Yes so a 200 is going to be a 200. They didn't make different ones to put in different car models. So if you need a water pump or what not, almost everything will be the same as the Mustang.
General rule of thumb - if using RTV sealant , torque to 85%, let dry overnight, then after fully cured, tighten to 100%. I had one leak by torquing 100% then let set overnight. I learned by my own mistake.
I am an old guy, 74 yrs, this takes me back! 👍👍
Very cool. Thanks for commenting 👍
Don't you just LOVE these SIMPLE cars !
That I do. 👍

Wow Bob I really appreciate the time you took to leave such a long thoughtful comment. I will definitely take your advise about teaching as if someone has never turned a wrench but of course I won't spend 20 minutes on how to turn a wrench. My next video I'm working on is installing a cylinder head on this same 200 straight 6. I did take a little more time in explaining all the little things to do especially on these particular engines. But yes, I do love the 200s. Great engines and hard to find stuff for them if you need original stuff. I think too many people over the years threw these away for 289s in their cars. But anyways that video should be posting on Friday so let me know what you think of that one. Again, much appreciated.

You know, I deal with stuff like that daily. Over 50 plus years, too many hands have been working on it. Repairs are made based off the resources people have at the moment. So lets talk clutch linkage. I do have a recent video on the z-bar bushings. You get a pretty good look at the lower spring that connects the clutch fork to the z-bar. There is an upper spring that connects the upper portion of the z-bar to the firewall and for that you're welcome to send me an email and I'll send you some pictures. My email is in the "about" section on my main channel page.
I own a 1967 coupe Mustang with a 200 inline 6 cylinder engine.
Very cool! Thanks for sharing!
Yes. Solid gold. Thank you so much.
You're welcome
Hey, Alf, I loved your hi-def camera angles and your narration to match. I want to fit a new radiator, shroud, and electric fan to my own Mustang six. Can you tell me the distance you measure from the plane of the radiator attachment on the radiator support stamping to the nub at the front of the water pump where the fan pulley attaches?
Thank you. I'm afraid I don't have any 6 cylinder cars in the shop for me to measure right now.
@@AlfsMustangGarage No problem, Alf. I will be tuning in to your videos now that I have discovered your channel. I'll share my cooling solution with you when I hopefully succeed.
Sounds good thank you!
Oh hey... I see you're still rocking the gloves!! Good time to use them when it comes to putting silicone on those gaskets. Keep up the good work. I really enjoy your videos, very informative. 😄
Thank you!
I actually have a few water pumps, some OEM and early aftermarket that might need rebuilding. Also, have One that is an early rebuilt OEM water pump from Ford, and also that aluminum water pump in your video. I'm just figuring out which one I should use. I would like to use the early rebuilt water pump with casting numbers, but don't know for sure how good are the bearings from all these years/decades inside the Ford box. Don't know if it should be rebuilt again or is it good to install.
Well the good thing is, if they end up leaking or have any other issues, they are pretty much the easiest water pump you'll ever have to change.
@@AlfsMustangGarage I was also wondering if you use the same gasket sealer for the thermostat housing. My ultra black silicon gasket just arrived today.
I have since started using something better for thermostat housings and water pumps. Its still made by permatex but its specifically for water pumps and thermostat gaskets. I have used the ultra black before with good results but I'll put a link in here for the other stuff I've started using. amzn.to/3vKKeNq
I'm bringing back to live my 69 mustang and this is an amazing video. I may sound stupid but does the engine has a thermostat? Or is just Temp sensor? Thanks.
Very cool, yes this engine will have both thermostat and temp sender. Actually all engines will have these components.
After watching this video and the in-line 6 head series I had a question. On the head video you called out that one of the head studs was a "through" stud, one that penetrated into the coolant system galleries. You coated that bolt with some permatex sealant. For this water pump are all 3 bolts here non-though bolts? Seemed like the top left one spouted a lot of coolant when yo removed it. Was it a "through" bolt thus requiring the same permeated treatment? Thanks for the great video. FYI I have a 66 in-line six and someday will require a new pump. Just not today!
Yes! You need to watch out for those through bolt holes. The water pump bolts need thread sealant on the ones that pass through. I forgot to cover that for the water pump. Need to redo that video!
Thank you for the video
You're very welcome
Thank you for posting this video, I just started following your channel and your videos have been most helpful. One question I noticed you didn’t mention anything about the thermostat in this video, I’m a newbie with these engines so could you please clarify if these motors have one ? Thank You.
Awesome! Thanks for subscribing. So these engines do have thermostats. It's located directly above the water pump. The upper radiator hose connects to the thermostat housing.
What screws at the top of the water pump where the hose connects too?
That's the thermostat housing.
Hello was wondering if you can point me in the right direction I’m looking for my water temp sensor I can’t seem to find it I have a 65 mustang i6
Drive side rear of cylinder head
Alf, can I please ask you about that for a ride home on the water pump and what it is for? I don’t see that it is a through haul and I’m just curious what the purpose of it is?
I'm afraid I don't understand your question.
I’m new to your channel and I found it in search of replacing parts on my 1964 fairlane with a 200ci. It seems hard at least for me to find parts for it because everything I’m looking for comes up for mustang 200ci. Are the parts interchangeable on the two? As far as water pump intake and return location and fuel pump inlet and outlet, etc
Yes so a 200 is going to be a 200. They didn't make different ones to put in different car models. So if you need a water pump or what not, almost everything will be the same as the Mustang.
Awesome thanks!
68 Mustang, 200 6
Nice! I love those in lines!
1965 inline 6 200
Very cool Chris, thanks for commenting! Sorry for the delay, I usually respond to all comments.
could a 289 water pump fit a 200ci engine?
That would be a no.
General rule of thumb - if using RTV sealant , torque to 85%, let dry overnight, then after fully cured, tighten to 100%. I had one leak by torquing 100% then let set overnight. I learned by my own mistake.
Thank you for the video I have a 66 mustang v6 3 speed manual .
Best option for a radiator?
Thank you
