The swearing while pulling the fuel pump out denotes to me that was indeed a very non scripted fuel pump inspection. lol. Great work Mark, thanks for sharing and keep filming!
Great video of a great car! Absolutely love the FC / FD LTD's! I love how you've kept the reliable 6 in it, they are only a cruiser so just drive it and enjoy it! Looks unreal.
Love that car Mark, these cars a great cruisers. I have a WB Statesman Caprice as a weekender and simply love it too. Well done mate, love your work!
Very nice mark! Attention to detail is admirable mate 👍🏼
My T and stubbie holder arrived today - cheers mate, very happy with both!
So subtle it's sweet👍 Bloody mint Mark mate 👌
That cnt act fuel tank was the 1st production plastic tank also the bumpers were a world 1st. Straya FTW 🇦🇺🤙

That's why they won a design award. My xe had a little design award sticker on the passenger rear 1/4 glass.

@@aaronhogan2371 yeah that shit made ya proud to be Australian aye 😔 i remember washing my xf wagon and hearing over the radio that they were closing. The sticker read the people of ford Australia are moving with you 🇦🇺
Hi Mark, good vid update mate, the LTD is cool. Just make sure that fuel hose meets SAE 30R10 for submersible fuel line hose or you will be replacing it again after it starts dissolving in the tank. Cheers.
Your FD is looking awesome👍, Just need to hunt down a ford badge that sits on the lower right hand side of the grille finish the look
Cant beat the old luxury😎and Ford did a great job
Aways used to suffer with mass air flow used to also suck air around the base of it. Remember doing rocker covers on these as well not the nicest job.The black cover on the mass would leak giving a rough idle. Great cars though..
Cars. Love them, hate them.
Looks epic. Would be mint with a 302 Windsor in there or 351 Clevo for that early 80s vibe. Those Efi engines had alot of vacuum gremlins i remember my old mans ZL ulp efi. Cheers
Thanks for the video Mark great to see the LTD getting some love and being driven and enjoyed. 👍
Another thing with that model is people over tightening airbox to AFM it varies how the 4.1 efi run got told this when i had a FC LTD👍
Yeah boy Bro i spent a week on a NC fairlane pump dizzy plugs and a dodge relay arrrrr haha Great video dude
I have an NC Fairlane 302. love it. But I am the only one in the family who does, guess its a driver thing. One thing I have noticed when starting is it does a sort of zip zip , when you turn it on, probably pressuring fuel etc, it you wait for that to finish only a few seconds, it will start quicker.
Its a win, my bf givin me shit startin done coils plugs starter. Think igition barrel, get there least its runnin nice when starts. Thanx
Pop a few Zyrtech to get ya breathing through the hay fever Haltech and a turbo will get the fairlane breathing too😉
Welldone good to see its running algud gow nice work with finding the problem 😃
What a beast. Love the color Mate.
Hey mate. Raceworks do a fuel safe foam. I cut a section of it out to take up the difference of the new pump being smaller on my XE efi setup.
I have a efi 250 motor, air flow meter, throttle body ect if u need anything. just don't have the efi intake or injectors
Lookin mint Mark. I still have to fully resto mine but I'm still doing up my 1978 5ton F350 duel flat bed. She is lookin good in gun metal metallic I'm welding up upright stainless truck stacks and will turn her into a tipper slash car hauler. Then I can do up my Fairlanes. 😅😅😅😅🎉 keep up the good content love it cheers.
Good job, hope the fuel hose you used for fuel pump was suitable for being submerged in fuel. Normal fuel hose isn't. Will last for a bit then the fuel will destroy it.

Yeah good comment, because if it is the raceworks 400 series rubber hose it's not submersible.
Looks class
Loves those wins, can sleep better now 🎉🎉
Good job 👍👍
That is a very nice LTD
Are ya using submersible fuel hose? Alot of fuel hoses arent ideal for running in tank. Could explain why its perished a bit and slipped off under pressure?
When are you going to upgrade the 6 to an 8?
When is this getting a 351?
When your ford won’t run properly you get into your Holden and drive away. I was hoping to see more Holden content but I’ve realised that fords a generally more problematic equaling more content.
5.8 Litre should be dropped into the LTD.
