@18:17 that chrome 12 point socket that rounded out, isn't made for impact usage that's why it rounded out. I worked for craftsman for years, we were trained on everything we made and sold over and over and over again every year we had dumba$$ training on the same things... And honestly that's personal knowledge of the tools hands on for 30 plus years now. If you notice the cheapest sets of black impact sockets are all 6 point it's for that exact reason so they don't rounded out the socket or bolt/nut..

@PoleBarnGarage Жыл бұрын

Yes, however I've used that craftsman socket on impacts and everything else for the last 15 years, and it was a hand me down then lol. I think it's a simple case of "got my money out of it"

I guess I'm a little late to this party but I just had to share with you my love for 1973 Gran Torino Sports. When I was 17, I took over my mom's Ivy Green 73 Gran Torino Sport. It was a sportroof with bench seats and a 351W with FMX transmission. I later traded that in on the Mercury equivalent, a White 1973 Mercury Montego GT with 351W, FMX and bucket seats with consol. A few years later, I bought a slightly wrecked yellow 1973 Gran Torino Sport. This car had a 351 Cobra Jet and 4 speed transmission. That car was wicked fast and sounded so good. I often think about how rare that Montego GT was. I mean you just don't ever see them.

@brucejessie Жыл бұрын

Good job, Dalton. The car's looking great. Those '72-'73 fastback Torino's sure are a good-looking body style. You plop that 460 in there with a mild split-duration cam, early-style timing set and some headers, and the 'ol Torino's performance will increase substantially over that 400. Keep up the great work, man! --Bruce

@eliteman7652 Жыл бұрын

Based on my experince in dealing with 72-73 Gran Torinos, the 429/460's do nothing but overweigh the front ends of our cars. A properly winding 351 Cleveland will leave one of these cars way more balanced. The only good use for a 385 series 429/460 would be if you really want a big block to go drag racing.

There is nothing like a Torino. I ran the scale at a junkyard for a few years, and I bought an all original 302 '71 Torino with 53K original miles that literally came out of a barn around 2015. I paid $200 for it. The person I bought it from said the previous owner parked it because she didn't like driving it. Her sons got it after she passed, but they didn't care about it. I don't know how long it had been sitting, but it had about an inch of dust on it, so I'm guessing it sat for a couple of decades. Beyond the dust, it was in near perfect condition. It was a blast to work on it, and I managed to get it running again. I miss that job, and I wish I could have kept the car for myself, but I couldn't.
