-- Burning down the area isn't out of the realm of possibilities... it isn't wise to fire up a long dormant vehicle that's inundated with dry leaves. He stated that there was a three-inch layer under the Ranchero, that's all I need to know! All it takes is a single spark flying off the vehicle, especially from a rusted out exhaust system, to ignite the dry tinder. Before you know it, you've got a raging fire. I myself have lit up dry grass as have a few friends when we were really young, decades ago. What were we doing? The same thing as our hosts - firing up a dormant rig. Fortunately, we were well prepared and the fire was put out quickly with a pre-primed hose... not that the fires were going anywhere anytime fast. There wasn't much grass to burn in the dirt and gravel. The bottom line here is that in this situation, one cannot be too careful. It's wise to take precautions and be prepared. I would have suggested to at least clear out the burnable material from under and away from the Ranchero before firing it up. It would only take a few minutes with a decent rake. I also hope they had a useable fire extinguisher ready although I didn't see one. Peace & good vibes to all. - Max Giganteum PS AES master tech? WTH is an AES master tech?

I've had a few Cleveland's over the past years. There is a process where you can put the Cleveland heads on Winsor blocks. My Brother-in-law currently has a numbers matching '73 Ranchero GT with a 4v Cleveland, it's 99.9% OEM, only exception is an aftermarket GT center cap on one wheel.

@MaxGiganteum

3 ай бұрын

A "Clevor" was not uncommon back in the 70s & 80s before the proliferation of aftermarket heads. To use the Cleveland heads on a Windsor block requires some machine work but it isn't difficult. IIRC, you also need an intake manifold that will mate up. The downfall lies in the aftermarket, the aftermarket aluminum-based heads are superior which is why you don't typically see folks making a Clevor anymore and haven't more or less since the 90s. Still, it's a fun project if you come up with the heads and an intake for cheap... and don't mind doing some machining. best wishes! - Max Giganteum

Love those old 351 Cleveland's. They did have their own problems but were still a decent motor for daily driving, as my father-in-law had a 72 Montego Wagon with the Cleveland.

Hey Richard & Cristina, My father traded in a yellow with white cab 72 Ford Explorer F-100 with a 302cid with probably a C4,transmission for a new 1974 Ford Ranchero with a 351 Cleveland that was gold color and one of the coldest AC that you could imagine. That Ranchero would absolutely scream, But was a severe gas hog which was not good during the days of fuel embargoes. Interesting enough, My dad sold the Ranchero to a friend of his that operated a Texaco station who absolutely fell in love with the Ranchero. The partner who co owned the Texaco station also loved the Ranchero so much that he ordered a brand new 1975 Ranchero that was identical in color to the one that my dad sold other than being a year newer. @IrishOutlaw KZread channel also has a Ranchero that he featured on some of his videos.

My mother had a 1972 Ford Gran Torino that had a 302 cid engine that I drove when I was in high school back in the early 1980s which did indeed have the same front grill and front end color like the young man in your video was describing. While my mother was still driving the car, She wrecked the car while going to work on a slick road in which afterwards my uncle went to a salvage yard and found a complete front end which was the exact same color blue as the Ranchero while the rest of the car was the off color antique white color that Ford was using back then. I distinctly remember that you had to keep the battery terminals very clean or you were greeted with the annoying Ford solenoid chattering that we all despised to hear at the worst possible moments. We would load the trunk area with concrete blocks and install some aggressive tread snow tires on the back of the car for the rather bad winter weather conditions that we had in KY in the late 1970s and early 1980s in which the Torino was like a tank - Literally. All of the Fords that we owned with the 302 engines always seemed to be excellent in starting in extreme cold weather conditions.

It had enough power to spin the wheels. Some of the brakes are stuck on. It would have taken about one minute to take a leaf blower and blow out the bed and under the hood. That would have made better working conditions. Nice job of cleaning all the connections and checking the fluids.

Maybe the distributor is installed a tooth off giving the false indication of jumped timing. It may be suggested to verify TDC with rotor position and use a timing light to check and verify ignition timing.

When I first saw the valve cover I figured it was a Cleveland too. I had one in a 71 Torino GT. The best and fastest of all the Ford V8s I've had. I've had em all from the 70s and some from the 50s and 60s.

I had my ‘75 Toyota’s front end rebuilt a couple years ago. I told the guy it was beginning to feel like the Willys Overland Station wagon in the movie It’s a Mad, Mad, World. He knew what I was talking about. Thanks you guys for the inspiration again. p.s., my Toyota, idled really bad, now much better. The main finds were vacuum leak of the carb gasket, plugged idle circuit, and: they tell you don’t run the idle screw in hard, gently do it else you’ll mark it. Mine was over the years marked. I would have to make a sleeve and thread it to chuck it and resurface with a file I guess. It’s brass. I ordered a couple from some outfit online. They didn’t look right, so they sat. Still not happy with the idle I tried one for the heck of it. Big difference! I have a Toyota engine book that has a carb schematic. It shows atomised fuel in the idle circuit passage going past that needle (down stream from a jet). So the mark made from hitting the ‘seat’ must have been tripping the flow causing fuel to come out of vaporisation and drip. They don’t tell you that marking that needle will mess up your idle! The idea of it coming out of vaporisation I got from a KZread video made by a guy who ‘flows heads’. Sorry for talking on and on.

Hi Richard and Christina, Great job on the Ranchero. As regards the timing issue, is it possible that when someone had previously put in a new distributor, they installed it a few teeth off of top dead center? That could make the engine appear to have jumped timing and produced the same symptoms. My hats off to you for working on the car out in the open, away from your shop and the additional tools you'd have at your disposal. Looking forward to the follow- up rescue from that same junkyard. Sounds like it will be a real challenge.
