Make your Molded Headliner stay put. We show how to make a molded headliner stay up in your car. While we are working on a Ford F250, this applies to any car with a foam backed fabric covered headliner that is applied to a board and put up in a car.

VIN information can be the difference between a run of the mill Mustang and a stock powerhouse. The same can be said for the Challenger or Charger from Dodge. But what are you buying? While we won’t go into the complete break down of what everything means on a Vehicle Identification Number from Chevrolet Chrysler Ford, we will talk VINS and Body Tags.

We had the brakes on our 2005 Suburban not want to bleed. The culprit? the new stainless steel lines. Since stainless is harder, it requires more force to get them to tighten up. We discuss correct tools and talk about the why of the lines not getting tight. Thanks for watching and please encourage others to subscribe. Jford@autorestomod.com www.patreon.com/gasolinemedia

Jeff and his good friend Bill square off to debate (friendly) about restoration and preservation. Jeff tells tales from back in the day about National Parts Depot’s Rick Schmidt and his GT500KR. As well as a show where a 20,000 mile original unrestored GT500 was put in with restored cars. Bill and Jeff also talk guitars (mandolins actually) and discuss a shabby G2 Fender from 1908.

There are many EFI kits out there. And if you want us to review kits, leave a comment in the section below. For arguments sake we will be using the Holley Sniper Holley Sniper 550-516 Holley Sniper EFI Self-Tuning Fuel Injection Systems $1,200.00 Basic system without pump and enough fuel line to get back to the pump (more on that in a second. Pump If you are “mainstreaming” in your car choices (Mustang, Camaro, Chevelle) There are tanks specificly set up for EFI. The pump flows at 255 liters per hour or roughly 67 gallons per hour. Tank specific pump (Mustang and Cougar Camaro Chevelle) runs $619.00 This is tricky. To return or not to return fuel? While Holley states that their 650 HP system does not require a return, we’ve read several post on the Holley site that says it does require a return line. Even the in tank pump shows a return line. We’d recommend upgrading to 3/8ths inch fuel feed line and a minimum of 5/15th line for the return. We’d also go Stainless...Yes you can bend nicop, go ahead, spend Right at $2000.00 for a system then cheap out on fuel line. NPD has stainless lines for the Mustang Camaro and Chevelle for $100.00 Plus having to flair fittings for connecting the barbs to the fuel hose. Or you can join the zip tie brigade and use the modern fuel hose and connectors provided in the Mater Kit to get the job done. Weld in the bungs anywhere from a couple slices of pizza and a cold bear to a couple hundred bucks We’ll call it $100 to be safe. Plus $150 in miscellaneous (pizza, beer and piddly parts like filters) All in on a Holley EFI Right at $2,200.00 Carburetor. Biggest issue used to be sizing your carburetor. There are calculators for that now. Though my experience has been to go about 100 cfm over the calculators recommendation. Also, different cam and heads will effect that. So, we’re specing a 650 cfm carb. The two most popular for street are the Edelbrock and the Holley. Holley 0-80783C 650 CFM Classic Holley Carburetor is on backoreder as of filming so we moved over to the 670 CFM Avenger. Cost for the Holley 670 Avenger will be around $520.00 Cost for the Edelbrock 650 1906 will be $420.00 If you are bare with no intake, you’ll spend between $200.00 and $400.00 for an intake for the car. This isn’t an intake comparison so we aren’t going to argue that. That same money can be added to the EFI Good quality fuel pump: $85.00 NPD has stainless lines for the Mustang Camaro and Chevelle for $100.00 Tuning Kit will be a really good idea. $125.00-$177.93 Plus $150 in miscellaneous (pizza, beer and piddly parts like filters) $1,000.00

Episode 135 What spot weld cutter do we use? While there are a couple of spot weld cutters, we like a plain drill bit, Slightly larger than the spot weld. But we do have certain places that a cutter like the one from Harbor Freight (https://www.harborfreight.com/38-in-double-sided-rotary-spot-weld-cutter-63657.html) or the Spot Weld Drill (https://www.amazon.com/Astro-17262-3-Flutes-Carbide-Welding/dp/B009OXJ4QU/ref=sr_1_25?crid=ROV8WY5IPS8B&dchild=1&keywords=spot+weld+drill+bits+for+automobiles&qid=1634749249&sprefix=spot+weld+drill%2Caps%2C179&sr=8-25) from Astro tools works better.

ENGINE DIAGNOSIS TIPS! We use the 1967 Mustang as a test bed for judging an engines health. Keep it cold. Make sure to tell the owner beofre you roll out that yodon’t want it warmed up before you arrive. Never buy a car that the engine is warm to the touch when you get there. This usually means that they are trying to hide a rod knock or other issue. Check fluids first. Oil should be good, fresh oil could be the sign that they are hiding an issue. Check coolant. Any oil or milkiness indicates a head gasket issue. Or a cracked block. Cranking check. If it lopes on cranking it has a dead cylinder. Vacuum gauge. It can tell you a lot about the health of an engine. https://www.gregsengine.com/using-a-vacuum-gauge.html#:~:text=From%20sea%20level%20to%202%2C000,1%2C000%20feet%20rise%20in%20elevation.&text=Engine%20is%20in%20Good%20Condition,next%20test%20to%20be%20sure. jford@autorestomod.com http://www.patreon.com/gasolinemedia
