If I was starting a car that had sat for 35 years, I would buy new points and condenser, wires, plugs, new cap and rotor and rebuild the carb first before I tried to start it and have new wires and a coil and check and change the oil. Also have some water for the radiator and new hoses. After all, if you want to do a job, do it right or not at all.

As an Australian, this model never came to my country as a coupe unless you include the Mainline ute, the Australian version of the Ranchero for the same era. It's a definite surprise to see one of these old workhorses wake up so easily from a 35 year coma, but deep down, something told me it would, and I hadn't seen your previous video on it. If you want to see an interesting comparison, Look up the Ford Customline and Ford Mainline from Australia. To save money, Ford Australia used the previous year's tooling of its American counterpart with each new model until they started building the Australian Falcon in 1960. Every model of Australian Falcon after that evolved further and further away from their American namesake until the very last one, having the option of a 4 litre inline 6 cylinder, good for 1000 reliable horsepower without major mods.

In order to crank the engine you may want to connect the ground to the engine block and better yet, the starter. And as mentioned by Mike Johnson always check for oil and spray WD-40 in all the cylinders. I also like to build up oil pressure by driving the oil pump with a drill prior to attempting a start up.

I've watched this one before and felt like it again. I would like to leave you a couple tips on getting one started.... For one, you have the cap off and flick the points an for most part get a spark but its weak or intermittent. Take points out all the way and sand underneath to insure a good ground for them. Also it its kinda nasty, sand that as well as the spark depends on grounds totally and the screws that hold the breaker base in... loosen and then retighten to get the grounds going. In the manual for repairs to the electrical are the words grounds, grounds grounds! They really emphasize that

here is a little tip for ya brutha.....instead of trying to use a screw driver to jumper the engine and feed it fuel at the same time...if you take a piece of wire and jam it under the post marked [S] on your starter relay, [ONE OF THE 2 SMALLER WIRES ON THE RELAY ] ,then the other end of the wire all you have to do is touch the positive battery post and the motor will crank ....you can also put a feed wire to the [I]terminal of the starter relay [ AND JAM THE ORIGINAL WIRE OVER TOP OF IT[ and run it to the positive battery post...this will allow you to make it a bit easier on you with less wire ......you can also add a switch to each jumper wire and then all you have to do is throw a switch or to and that will make it easier on you

My first car was a 1947 Plymouth 4 door sedan that I bought from a doctor for $60. I drove it for one year and traded it in for a 1956 Ford convertible. I bought that car at John Short Motors in Houston, Texas for $250 (he gave me $100 for the Plymouth and I gave him $150) it had a 3 speed standard trans, a 312 V8, and a 4 barrel Holly High Top carb. I put a Fenton floor shift in it, glass pack mufflers, and a chrome dress-up kit on the motor. I graduated from high school in 1965, they were drafting us for military duty right out of high school to serve in Vietnam, we were so young then. I joined up not knowing if I would make it back or not so I gave my car to my cousin who had just started high school and he drove it until he graduated. It was a great car.

While I don't quite agree with how you're going about getting the old gal running, (a squirt of Marvel Mystery Oil oil in each cylinder would kind of help), I do like the fact of what you're going about doing. I've spent part of my life in North Carolina and now live in North Florida and can say from my own experience that the climate on this side of the country can be pretty brutal to these old cars; watching them start up after sitting up for years is a real kick. With that being said, it's even a bigger kick in the ass when they're running around on the street again. I'm all in to see these old survivors wear their rust and faded paint, (at least for a while), just to show everybody they've earned the right to live again. That little two-door Ford sedan is a real nice and rare piece and deserves all the TLC that it can get as well as time on the road. It doesn't have to be perfect looks wise to have a good time with her as long as she's mechanically sound. CCC, you've earned yourself a new subscriber.

I watched your video on the 50 Mercury and now this video. Both were interesting. When it comes to buying these old cars, what do you plan to do with them? I know guys spend tons of money and thousands of man hours restoring an old car to factory new condition. It would be nice to have a solid driver. One that the engine was decent and the paint & interior clean. If you have any sort of garage or breezeway to put these under it might make a better video. You could show the underside, the interior and highlight the steps you took to get the engine started and have it stay running. You are a very lucky guy to have the 56 Ford and the 50 Merc. I hope you take care of them, they are worth saving.

Pull the 223 six from the 56 and install it in your 55. You can even use the Y block clutch and flywheel its probably a larger diameter clutch. Fast and easy swap and you have the 55 for a driver again and the 6 will not use as much expensive gas. Then pull the front clip from the 56 and put the big block engine in it. its already 12 volt and you will need stiffer front springs anyhow because the big block weighs a lot more than a Y block.
