Got the old Y Block to fire!!

I just had to share. I bought this '61 F100 for $300 that was supposedly running, but a tweeker had his way with it. After 2 hours of re-adjusting the valves, and resetting the firing order, changing plugs and ect. we finally got her to fire. I went ahead and bolted my homemade zoomies on to get a feel for how it will sound. I can't wait to get this thing in my T and rattle some windows.



The video is shakey, but so am I, so...

Holy shit dude you either need to balance the engine or have a shot of whiskey to get the shakin under control >>>>.

 

Lol, it's called Parkinson's, but yes, I should have put it on a tripod or have someone else film it

 

Sorry >>>>.

 

Cool, hope mine fires up in my A.

 

Better fix the oiling to those rockers too,should be miles more oil up there than that .I guess you already know that y blocks have problem with bad top end oiling so i won't need to tell that.

 

Let me know if you need any parts for that old "Y" I've got piles of parts! blocks, heads, ect..... I also have an extra Offy tri power and ram horns
