    Quick tip for you. If you hold the clutch in and put the gas pedal to the floor, the car goes into “clear flood mode”. This cuts the fuel system so you can turn it over without starting. It’s a good thing to use if you’re priming the motor as well. If you have an auto car you can mash the brake pedal and gas at the same time and it will do the same thing. Works on all ford vehicles at least since 2005ish from my experience. 20:54

    On a second watch I was thinking it is a good thing you changed over the dash/key/wiring… that way you keep the red key and the track tuning that ford made for the Boss 302.
    I have a 13 Boss and a friend just bought a used 12. His didn’t come with the red key and we have to do a bunch of things to get a new one.
    The red key is what makes the Boss a BOSS!
    Also… not sure if the Laguna Secas shocks and struts survived… but you should use those in the Hoss… the LS did have different suspension than the regular Boss.
    I regret I should have bought the LS suspension when I had a chance.

    I understand how you say he fell off but I’ve never seen the view window spin and the thumbs up turn also. It’s interesting because I will never do what he does and because RUclips is my way to be a jack of all videos and won’t travel nowhere. I wish all that are doing all best wishes and the naysayers can sit and still act like you have time to watch and still do nothing with yourself. Just learn and wish you could be as lucky as all that are doing. 😂 it was cool to see the things spin. Have you ever seen it do that? Now I have one over on you. 😅🎉❤
