Ford 4R70W vs C4 Driving Impressions
Ford Fairlane Torino 4R70W AOD First Drive
Episode 553 Autorestomod
We finally get the 4R70W driven 1969 Fairlane out and driving. We like the way the US Shift controller handles the Monster Transmission 4R70W and it the combination of the two is light years ahead of where the car was with driving. We’d like to see a little more gearing, but other than that, we are very pleased with the outcome so far.

Disc Brake Install Tips and Tricks
Stainless Steel Brake-USA is a company that rose from the ashes of SSBC. It was bought by enthusiast to bring back the quality brake systems that had been offered before. Because we have a long standing relationship with folks that are now at SSBC-USA, we thought we’d give them a shot at putting brakes on our 1965 Falcon Ranchero.
We give tips on greasing the bearings. We show how to set the bearings. We detail out how to install the kit for trouble free use.

What Shocks are the Best on A Classic Ford
Best Classic Ford Shocks
Episode 128 Manic Mechanic
What Shocks are Best on Classic Ford
Shocks
What do the shocks do? Shocks help keep the tire planted on the road and control the compression and rebound of the springs.
Secret: Your Classic Ford was not designed with gas pressurized shocks in mind. The engineers were designing all the suspension components to use oil shocks...which are largely unavailable now.
Gas shock absorbers
99 percent of what you get
High pressure gas shocks can and often will add spring rate/spring ride height to a suspension. How much is up for debate. I do know that the wagon dropped nearly an inch when we went from the gas to oil shock.
KYB Gas Adjust shocks are arguably one of the most popular low cost options. They are very sporty in ride. $70.00 pair.
Oil shocks (traditional style shock absorber) Roughly 350.00 for a pair of front shocks.
Koni 82-1388SP3
QA1
Viking
Low pressure gas
KYB GR2 $70.00 for a pair
Bilstein $260.00
Ridetech $400.00

Know Your Ford Carburetor!
Autolite 2100 ID 1960-1974
All information is listed in the description below.
1. What sizes? There were 8 different venture sizes for the 2 barrel 2100.
.98 @190 cfm
1.01 @245 cfm
1.02 @ 240 cfm
1.08 @287 cfm
1.14 @ 300 cfm
1.21 @ 351 cfm
1.23 @ 356 cfm
1.33 @ 424 cfm
Autolite 4100
1.08 @ 480 cfm
1.12 @ 600 cfm
1.19 @ 669 cfm
2. In order to know what size venturi you have look on the drivers side of the float bowl. There will be a set of numbers that corispond to the venturi size we just talked abut. Thus yu can know what the cfm of the carburetor is.
Tech tip: CFM stands for cubic feet per minute and lets you now how muchg air and fuel will pass the veturis when the car is running.
3. The carb tag ia and was the most detailed part of the carburetor info. If it has the carburetor tag it will list the Decade, year, model of car, and group (Carburetors are Group F) the leter after that denotes what the use was, typically it was for manual or automatic. Below that on the tag is the change level then the date year is first, followed by month (There is no I in the date coding system as it could be confussed with a 1 then day.
IF the tag is missing the carburetor info is on the drivers side front foot of the carb. But it will lack the date code.
4. In stock configureation, at 4,000 rpm at 90 percent volmetric efficency, the Autolite 1.14 venturi carburetor will perform very well. But it won’t get the kind of miulage that a 4100 autolite can. Simply put, a 4V carburetor will get better gas mileage if you don’t dploy the secondaries because the primaries are smaller. The chart I am showing is available on our website at the url below.
289-302 go with 1.08 primary. (this in the 4100 is 480 cfm) and will net you better milage.
Our 260 has a 240 primary.
5. The Autolite 4100 has some sticky points.
• No PCV port on the carb. The only port is on the spacer.
• Many aftermarket intakes will not support the 4100 spacer due to the base plate confifureaton.
• Thre manual shift 1.08 carbs are expensive since they are for the HiPo 289 typically.
• The 1.19 venturi is ultra rare and was only used on the 383 “high torque Mercury engine in 1958.
Issues on both the 4100 and 2100
• Jets on both carburetors are usually specific Ford jets but can be obtained from places like Mikes Carburetor. Early carburetors up intol 1966 ish used a jet the same size as Holley.
• Power valves are common to Holley but some caps can interfier with the power valve.
• The throttle shafts can be worn and might exibit issues will weird idle charicteristics.

Ignition Switch On The Left?
Ford Ignition Switch on the Left
Ford ignition switch location changed throughout the years.
Episode 121 Manic Mechanic
The Model A had the ignition switch on the right side in the ceter stack of gauges.
https://www.alamomodela.com/restoration-ray-williamson.php
The 1941-48 Ford cars had the ignition switch on the column.
In 1949 Ford move the ignition switch to the dash panel on the passenger side of the steering wheel.
1951 Ford went to a “key turn start” and moved the ignition to the drivers side of the car. Before you had a push button or switch start.
The ignition key stated there until 1964 when it moved back to the right of the column on passenger cars and stated oto the left of the column on the F1-F350 trucks until 1973 and was on the left in the F500 and above until 1981!
So why the move? I don’t know. BUT...
Porsche did the same thing on the post war cars. The answer comes down (at least on Porsches) to this:
According to Wall Street Jorurnal reporter Dan Neil:
Porsche Museum curator (1993 to 2011) and keeper of keys Klaus Bischof explained, its placement had nothing to do with racing. In the early Postwar period, when the company amounted to a mere handful of men hammering and welding in an old sawmill, electrical wire was scarce. Putting the switch on the left “saved a little bit of wire, a little bit of money,” Mr. Bischof said, “and maybe 200 grams.”
So I thought, maybe Ford was being frugal and putting less wire in and moved the ignition switch over by the fuse block which would then be on the left of the wheel by the instrument cluster in 1951. Nope. These Fords didn’t even go near the fuse panel. So...I’m stumped.
What I found on a forum:
Having the ignition switch on the left side of the dash was...at one time, a convenience. After unlocking the left door, the same key could easily be placed in the ignition cylinder.
At one time, there were no left door lock cylinders on passenger cars or trucks. People unlocked the right door, then slide across the seat. Back then, the switch was conveniently located to the right of the column.
1951 was the first year Ford offered a left door lock cylinder on trucks, but only on the 5 Star Deluxe Cabs. All 1953 and later Custom Cabs have it, but it was an option on Standard Cabs thru 1961.

Falcon Steering Wheel
Steering wheel swap
Horn Broke, Watch for Finger.
The “Sports-Type Steering Wheel,” the name used in the 1963 Sales brochure for the the imitation wood grain wheel (that really had more in common with the look of a bowling ball than a block of wood) has been unavailable in the aftermarket for a long time. But we were wondering if you could take a early 1965 Mustang wheel and make a spring esq wheel out of it.
Could you hydro dip it? Yes. Though I would find a place to do that for you rather than attempting it yourself.
You could also use this wheel on a standard Falcon and use the “Ford” logo Mustang horn button rather than the Sprint horn button and change out the Mustang logo for something else.

5 Tips For Better Brakes
Brakes Won’t Bleed
Soft Brake Pedal
New Brakes
Old Brakes.
5. Check your hard lines/soft lines/bleed screw. The dirty secret is that if you are using stainless brake lines, you may have to tighten the line up a little tighter than with Nicop or mild steel. The issue being that the flair on the stainless is less malleable than the flair on the other two. Air may be getting in but fluid may not be getting out. Also, old lines are old, and replacements are available, Check for damage to the lines.
4. New/existing parts issues. In the last three master cylinders we have gotten, one of them was not well rebuilt, we had air leaks on the seal and some substance that was not dissipating in the brake fluid. Always bench bleed a master cylinder thoroughly before installing it. Also, on Drum brakes, make sure that the rub pads are in good shape. If they are grooved, you could have problems under braking.
3. Air in the line/Improper bleeding procedure. Start at the back of the vehicle farthest away from the master for the rear system and the farthest from the master fro the front system. Air is the enemy of good braking.
2. wrong parts/mix and match parts. Make sure that all the parts on the car are correct for that car (or are the correct aftermarket parts). This could be an issue of a former power brake car having been converted to a non power system, or a non power car converted to power. Wrong push rod etc.
1. Leaks. Wheel cylinders, calipers, but especially master cylinders and bleeder screws. Cars without power brakes will see a rust trail down the firewall inside the car if the master cylinder seals are going bad. Harder to detect on cars with power brakes. But the fluid is very bad for the rubber diaphragm. And when we bleed the brakes, the bleeder screws if too loose will allow air into the system, or if they are not tight enough will draw air into the system.
BONUS.
Old or low brake fluid. Our truck has to have a leak in the system somewhere on the front. As we have lost fluid.

Best Bang for Your Classic Car Buck
1. Wheels and Tires. Easy and (sometimes) Cheap, wheels and tires are a great way to change the look of your classic Muscle Car. Aluminum wheels will reduce unsprung weight and help performance, low profile tires will also help performance.
2. Polyurethane bushings. I only recommend the urethane when talking about aftermarket control arms and sway bars.
3. Crate Engines. Especially when we are talking about “the usual suspects” like the 350 small block Chevy and the Ford 302. I would not trade an LS for an Olds 455.
4. Rear gear ratio. If you are driving the car a lot, you might consider losing the 3.73 or 3.90 in favor of a 3.00. It will help keep the RPMs down when you are going to out of town shows.
5. Patina. Like it or hate it. It ain’t going anywhere and can offer bang for the buck when you have a cool enough classic. We talk about when too much is really too much and what constitutes just right.

Engine Tuning with Vacuum Gauge
1. Check plugs.
• Old need to be replaced. Fuel fouled can be cleaned and re-gaped.
• Gap on a Electronic ignition (Duraspark, Davis HEI, Pertronix) should be around .35 to .45 (check with your distributor manufacturer). Points type ignition should have the plugs gaped to around .16 (check the service manual for correct gap).
Run engine. Check for your miss. If it is gone you have found your miss.
2. Check float level. Generally examine carburetor. Look for unplugged vacuum ports, things like our accelerator pump where it is not even hooked up.
• Carb basics. Idle screw.
• Idle jets
• accelerator pump
• float setting on Holley
Run engine.
3. Vacuum check with Carb cleaner around carburetor base and intake.
• Older carbs check throttle shafts. You are looking for an increase in vacuum.
4. Timing. This can be tuned with a vacuum gauge or a timing light. This engine is an unknown, and is somewhat cobbled together. So we are going to use a vacuum gauge.
Run engine.
5. Tune carburetor for best performance. Use vacuum gauge to make sure you have the engine running at it’s best.

Before you do ANYTHING, know your local ordinances for county (if outside the city limits) or city. Find what zone you live in as well. This will help you to narrow down the rules that you will have to live by.
You might get lucky and have a web site available for your area like Q Public that shows the zoning and lot lines to help you establish yourself. Link for our q public county map below. We are in an RC zoning district, the most restrictive zoning in Aiken County. We chose this area because fiber optic was a reality, not a “some day soon”.
A) Find out how long permitting takes. In our area a permit typically takes 7 to 10 days. Areas with several metric tons of bureaucracy it will take longer—certain areas of So Cal are over a year for permits.
B) Make sure there are no new rules on the horizon. Our zoning rules changed just after we got approval for the building. Had we been four days later with our permit we would have had to either get a variance (read more wait time) or reduce our structure size.
C) Understand the rules. Some areas require that you have them out at each stage of construction; from lot clearing to concrete to final building.
D) Know the rules. We have a friend who’s new business construction is in the city of Aiken. The city forced them to add a retention pond to the front of their business property—even though there was a retention pond on the property already. She fought and won to have the new pond filled in.
E) The friendly (but squeaky) wheel get the grease. Our permitting went on for four weeks. Vacations and people out sick kept pushing us back. I was always courteous when going by to check on things. If they told me give it another week, I did. Dad always told people who wanted him to go faster with his work: If you don’t like this speed you really won’t like the other. Making them hate you won’t get your permit done faster.
What should you put up?
That is a personal and availability issue. Around here, the least expensive pole barn was January. The next lest was November or December. Our research showed that a pole barn was, at the time, more expensive than a metal building. That has since flattened out.
THE BUILDING
Which is better, metal or pole?
Yes.
Metal goes up quicker on concrete. Our construction time will be two days. That does not count insulation.
• Most all metal buildings can be insulated the smaller buildings like ours will have less than wonderful insulation. I plan to insulate with R13 in the walls and R13 on the roof.
Any time you put up a metal building or pole barn, you will have more ambient noise from the metal. We had been told that spray insulation will reduce noise from rain and such...it does not. The quietest building we have had was with a shingle roof.
Stay even. When you are building, construction “likes” even numbers. SO if your square footage calculations sa you can max out at 37 feet, go 36, your waste pile will thank you.
Big box on the wall (electrical). What ever you think you will need...add more. We are putting up a 30 space box. And we discussed with our electrican what we’d be running. Welders, compressors and tools.
Both can be a pain to insulate and drywall depending on construction type.
Tip on pole barns to make insulation/drywall easier: get the Girts horizontal between the truss supports. It will be more expensive, but make drywall easier to do.
On the metal building side, our building has the walls with what appears to be an odd stud center. This will cause us to have to do some creative framing for the insulation and walls. We are also not going to float our drywall so that we can easily make changes to the electrical or what ever.

5 Reasons To Go To A Car Show
1. It will Energize you on your project. Seeing other cars finshed can inspire you to get moving on your car if you are stalled.
2. It is a great way to meet people that can possibly help you with things you are needing done. Or with parts that you are having a hard time finding.
3. If you are trying to get your car finished, a car show deadline will make you have a goal for completion.
4. Get custom business cards made so you can keep in touch with the other participants that you meet.
5.Finally it probably one of the coolest communities you can get involved with, especially on the local level. Many of the cars that attend are drivers and the owners are often willing to help in many ways more than just information.
