1. What's the IMO of that ship & why wasn't it displayed on the hull?? 🤣

2. You can lift a car by the bald eagles

3. Ray, wonder if the flywheel teeth can I spot weld them grind it to to make fly wheel teeth match others teeth, just to save money ?

4. The 400 Ms had a horrible tendency to crack the heads when we switched from leaded to unleaded. Even with a refresh and higher compression pistons you have to go with aluminum heads or the extra heat will crack any 351 or 400 heads no matter the year. Same engine different stroke. Cleveland modified

5. It’s A Really Nice Lincoln 🥰👍

6. I bought a 1974 Mark IV from the owners of Mom N Pops /Western Steer. It was the "Gold Package" with only 2000 miles on it in 1995..It still had the plastic on the seats and seatbelts when I bought it… It had Golden flake in a brown base paint, aluminium rims, and the White and Bronze interior was all leather. It was huge and rode like a cloud. I will never forget the ashtray., it looked like a glove box…9 inches wide, 4 inches tall and 5 inches deep, it had 14 cigarette slots and 4 cigar slots with two lighters. There were 3 2x4x3 ashtrays in the back as well, with a lighter in each one. The actual glove box was a little bigger, 12 inches x 9 deep and 9 tall. It had the 460 4 barrel and 4 speed automatic. . I should have never sold it. I only paid $1500.

7. I'd love to get another one of these Lincolns.

8. Mad jelly. I would love to have the privilege of working with Rainman Ray

9. Greetings: The old Land yacht looks great. What a find. My Rx had a 77 Thunder chicken. It was not as good a shape and it was less than 20yrs old. 2 many disrespectful mechanics. I had 2 replace the 'steering bushing'. It was missing. The 1st time I drove it I asked her how long it had the problem of turning 180* without wheel action. She said the mechanic at the place she bought it said it was normal on old cars. I made 1 4 it. I asked her 2 test drive it. Needless 2 say it was quite the 'eventful' night. 😉 Thx 4 the share.

10. Greetings: When I heard the 1st crank I suspected the Bendix. After it was running I was about 80/cent. Good show young Justin. Bsafe

11. How much for the all day pass? Just to ride the lift. New attraction coming soonâ„¢ to the Tamp Area. 🙂

12. I had a 78 Thunderbird, basically the same car. That thing was like driving a couch.

13. What a beautiful car all original except the AC compressor. Lincoln Continental Mark V

14. it looked like the flex plate to torque converter bolt was loose. could just be me idk.

15. i have seen crankshafs walk on them ford 351 – 400 motorsgrabing the starter drive gear!! ford had bad cranks on them motors

16. I'm a year older than that car lol

17. When I worked in a garage, we left the vehicle in neutral and handbrake off then got out just before the lift post. Once out, we could move the vehicle back and forth till it was lined up then lifted it.

18. Did you check the trunk for drugs or dead bodies in it? I heard some bad news in those days.

19. teatching the continental guy make me feel someting cool , i love this !! its amazing how you progressed since your last job at the other garage , you completely desserve this man !

20. Back in the mid 80s I went to Florida for a couple of months from the UK as I was working on a joint project with our American division and I was not just amazed at the size of the cars but how many old ladies were cruising around in Lincoln Continentals – brilliant!

21. Why would you put a new starter in when all it appeared to need was a new bendix and tear down/ cleaning 😂.

    If I woulda bought a new starter for my 97 jeep grand cherokee 4.0L inline 6 when the starter wouldn't turn over, I would have wasted money that wasn't needed. Took it apart and cleaned the necessary parts, put it back together hasn't failed since & that was 3 year's ago and counting.

22. Unless the new starter was made by Ford and is NOS wouldn’t you need a starter shim? I was always told any reman or rebuild starter has metal taken off and needs to be shimmed so the bendix doesn’t hang up

23. Become ketchup packet = bad day, got it Ray! 😀

24. Your procedures are the mark of a great mentor. You teach by showing, then reinforcing by having the student repeat the steps, keeping safety at the forefront. This is the way to teach quality repairs and responsibility on the job site. Fantastic job!

25. That looks like a Bill Blass series, I owned Marks in the old days.

26. Cool car!

27. The 400 was a small block motor even though it does have the same bell housing pattern as a 460

28. looked like there is a loose torque converter nut

29. I like long videos

30. It will last for years nice

31. What a boat. How old is the owner….80, 85 ?

32. That car has its own zipcode 😁

33. Back when you could put all your friends in the trunk to go to the drive-in. 😂

34. Good first lesson. Knew it as soon as I heard it. Bendix screws were a brilliant solution to a 1950s engineering problem, but prone to that kind of failure. Great job for a ypung Jedi!
