The Ford Barn

I've published a few more videos in the last couple of weeks.

A discussion of the lower distributor plate and some ways to reduce the risk of accidentally grounding it:

A discussion of cylinder head nut tightening sequences:

Another video about the cylinder head installation process; this one goes from the preflight checklist to final pre-assembly and discusses some of the decision points along the way:

I'll be recording one more video about actually putting the head on the block; it's coming up on four months since I started that project, so I'm excited to finally have the car back together again after replacing the valves, a valve seat, the carb, the head, and the plugs.

After this I'm looking at a couple more video topics as time permits:

Demo of a coil tester
Installing engine pans
Gas gauge and speedometer repair
Adjusting the clutch fingers with the transmission in the car

Thank you, well worth watching your videos, lots of reviews but always learn something new. Well explained and options given. What more could a hobbiest ask for, keep em coming. Great that you take the time to share your knowledge with a video. Seeing it first hand always makes a job easier.
