That exhaust leak detector is worth it's weight in gold, in my opinion. It revealed an exhaust leak on my 73 Mach 1 project that I hadn't been able to find. It can also be used to find vacuum leaks, too, I am told. Not cheap, but so useful. I really enjoy your videos, watching you work through problems much the same way I do. Thanks for sharing.
Once again, you and I are chasing the same things at the same time. I replaced the exhaust manifolds with identical TBP's. That led to a dip stick that wouldn't fit. That led to dropping the oil pan. THAT led to a long overdue replacement of the rear main seal.
I got the same oil pan and dip stick tube setup from Tom’s off-road, found it on their scratch-n-dent page the pan is in perfect shade except for a very light scratch in the paint which is a little hard to see that was the only thing wrong with it
I think Tom's should consider sponsoring your Channel. Sounds lime you have them on speed dial or may e I should a contact in your phone. I guess speed dial is giving away my age! Looks like you're flying along! Length is good for me!
Update for anyone who installs TBP exhaust manifolds. I would suggest, in order: 1. Cut the tab off of your dipstick tube and retain. 2. Remove manifolds. 3. Install new manifolds bending the dipstick tube as you install. 4. Modify the tab (larger hole and cut to fit new distance) to fit new dipstick placement. 5. Bolt and tack weld the tab back to the manifold and dipstick tube.
Did you ever do a video on the linkages for the clutch? Almost have my frame done hopefully this weekend going to be mocking stuff up and have no clue how all that goes. Thank you!

I love the longer videos . The hard work is paying offf . Everything looks awesome
Good job Matt, it is great to watch your good content, your are inspiring for me.
Watched a couple of your videos. Good content!
Thanks Josh!
Thanks for sharing. I’m working on a lot of the similar parts.
Great video!
You’re doing great
Thank you for sharing
LMK when it's body work time, Matt! Happy to come help.
Will do!

Yeah! What did you do for the collector pipes? I ended up getting them from James Duff.
@@MattsGarage - I bolted to the original pipes. I plan to have a whole new exhaust system installed in amonth or so.

I agree! The next time you order parts from them you should tell them! They did save my scout from burning down so there’s that too!
Stock explorer pump didn’t put out enough pressure for me. After trying 2 pumps, had to get a Saginaw pump. Works great. I do have hydroboost as well.
Does a Saginaw pump fit in the same location or did you figure out some other mounting?
You do away with the explorer bracket. Wildhorses has a pump and bracket kit. Comes with correct belt as well.

Hey, your intro sounded like it would interest me. 😆

Yes. It's in one of the other videos in either season 9 or 10.
I've got the same crappy looking explorer ps res. issue on a modded bracket for height (351w). Would love a good sub $100 replacement option.
What front dress kit is that? And do you know if that kit work on a 1987 5.0 efi motor? Thanks!
The pulley kit? Search for a gates pulley kit for your ride.
Go long!
