Simple Carb & Exhaust Repairs Have Our 1940 Ford Tudor Driving AMAZING!!

After unloading the cherry 1940 Ford, Matt and Steve decided to dive right in! Matt and Steve first take a look at the under side to see how clean the 40 really is. After a quick once over it's time to pull the carb off and see how gross it is. We found a few issues and got the carb cleaned up. Matt and his nephew head to the gas station for the first fill up to see how much better it drives! After passing the driving test, it's back on the lift to get the bad exhaust leaks fixed!

I really like this car. Just drive it and go 👍. And no one should ever let it be hot rodded

I'm a hotrodder and I agree. Leave it alone 😭

@terrykeithley6183 Жыл бұрын

As a re-tired senior judge of the EFV8 Club 39-40 was my specialty. The eng. pans were factory installed. The Hot Air manifold heater was an accessory dealer installed. From what I could tell most of the underside is all original. The carb should say Ford 91-99.

Nice to drive along with you in the '40. I haven't seen so much of the '40 carburetor and exhaust system since about 1958, when I was working and learning on mine. It was a $50 special. Thanks, chaps!

In 1957 I had the chance to buy from the original owner, a 40 Ford Tudor just like the one in this video. I drove it for about a year and then upgraded to a 1951 deluxe Tudor Ford. Looking back, I probably should have kept the 40, but that was a different time.

Beautiful car! There was an old bloke used to drive past me and my cousin, [on our way to school in New Zealand, 1956] in a stock black 40 Ford Coupe with wide whitewalls. You couldn't hardly hear that flathead running. Loved seeing that car; it made my day!

@Mercmad Жыл бұрын

A forty would have been really rare in NZ before the late 70's. Once NZ entered the war in 1939 new cars were no longer imported which is why 39's were everywhere. I only ever saw a one 41 car and that was a 41 Buick stashed away in a farm shed up in Doubtless bay. I had a 39 Standard Coupe ,which had been red Dawsons First race car...LOL!.

Very Nice barn find! Back in '70-'73 I drove an old '42 Plymouth coupe to school and work. The sediments in the fuel system was an issue with it, too. I added an in-line fuel filter between the sediment bowl and the carb. Every time the sediment bowl had enough junk in it to warrant cleaning, I would also change the in-line filter. It took a few tanks of fuel before the sediment bowl remained clear (indicating the sediments in the rest of the fuel supply system had been removed). I kept the in-line filter in place even though it could have been eliminated by that time. It just made me feel better. 🙂

Well done guys, what a lovely car. My first car was a 1936 Ford Y out of the UK (I am in New Zealand and bought it in 1964 when I started my aprenticeship) and it had rod brakes so I am surprised that this car has hydraulic brakes. When did Ford USA fit hydraulic brakes ? Many years on now I am an owner of a 1966 Ford Mustang that was imported into NZ and my daily driver is a a 2016 Ford Mustang GT. So you can see I am a good supporter of the Blue Oval.Henry was an amazing man!!! Cheers Ian

That car is sweet. Its in great conditon what nice old ford. Its so nice. Now that is a car you could drive everyday a good driver. Put some B12 chemtool in the gas tank to clean the carbon off the valves and the pistons. Or Seafoam. It will clean all the carbon off of everything. It will clean the carberator too. put one in the gas tank. Actually Lucas fuel additive is the best. B12, seafoam, and Lucus. I love the colum shift like my dad use to drive. You can drive in rain with out getting wet. Damn you should have kept it.

Americans colloquially use the word "perfect" for a wide range of quality, and it almost never describes something that is formally perfect. Your conclusion isn't very clear - your sentence is easily interpreted as saying that Matt isn't too bright. If that IS what you meant, well, this channel will be sure to offend your sensibilities.
