This channel will feature all types on automotive content including pulling classic cars from barns, getting them Up-N-Runnin, trouble shooting, repairs and much more.
you are a joke, did you not see the MSD blaster coil and coil wire on top of the HEI cap with power wires run to the external coil. That means it has been converted to external coil. your not a wiring guru?? your not a car guru, you remind me of a high school shop class teacher those who can't teach. It was a pain to watch you
Just take the back seat out and you can access the trunk and use a flat screwdriver and there's a slot in the truck lock, stick the screwdriver in the slot and turn the screwdriver and the trunk opens
That crap trans isn't going to handle no 500hp BBC!! ROFL!! Gonna need a built TH350 or TH400 in that thing. If you wanna stay with manual trans, prepare to drop some bucks for one that will handle that kind of torque. It definitely has potential to be a sweet ride! P.S. Learn to set timing! T = Tonawanda 0716 = July, 16th XCH = XCH is the suffix for the over the counter 454 LS7 crate engine. This engine was purchased over the GM parts counter, it started life as a bad ass piece, handle it with loving care! If nobody has changed any parts out of this engine, you have a 12.25:1 compression engine. You will need to run high octane fuel or set your timing way back. Don't cause detonation, it will destroy your engine. 4 bolt main, heavy duty rods, forged piston, steel crank, req port heads. It's badass. With right fuel and timing, should be an easy 600+hp engine. Enjoy! 💪
Hope you two tone the Buick body like many of them are using the same turquoise with white like the roof. Not sure if its the same turquoise as the 55 and 56 Chevy...
Thanks for watchin'. No Buick episode 6 yet. However, I have been saving footage of me working on the car. It got put on the back burner for a while, but we have been actively working on it in recent weeks, today it got about 4 hours of sanding done on it. That being said, I most likely will not put out another episode until it goes into final sanding or when it goes into the paint booth, which may be a little while yet. (Sanding videos are not that exciting as I'm sure you will understand.) I'll shoot some footage of it and will include it in another episode that will go live sooner. I'm glad you asked about it.
Who cares! It's a Standard Shift! That's the most important aspect! Yall can take your slush box Automatics to the scrap yard. If the trans isn't a Muncie M22. Make sure to investigate it thoroughly because you'll need a M22 or a newer Tremec 5 or 6 speed to handle that Big Block torque. Good find guys.👍
Glad you did away with that MSD and chrome coil bs and went back to factory HEI coil ignition. People who rag cars out must have some kind of screw loose. If you have a good-looking wife or girlfriend, you would have all these guys melting like butter in the palm of your hand just like those other "barn find"/"will it run" you tube grease monkeys.
My God, it hurts my soul watching him try to start this engine with no clue what he is doing. Its like a monkey humping a football. I hope he doesn't hurt that rare engine trying to start it.
That long blower is awesome to keep far away from the mice and rat crap and pee.. that stuff is horribly bad for you to be anywhere near.. can never forget about cockroach pee and crap
VIN Engine code is "H" for a 305 which was standard for the Z28 in all states except Cali and optional for all others including Cali Z28s. Was built in Van Nuys.
These second generation camaros are quickly gaining popularity. They are still relatively affordable (especially compared to 1 gens) and they still are very much considered a "muscle car"... or can be when your dropping in a motor like that! Really looking forward to seeing what ya'll do with this!
Very funny. I’m no expert but hat looks like a problem”. I had one back in the 80’s , damn, I wish I still had it, fun car and made a lot of friends of the opposite sex
If memory serves the bottom bolt at the mechanical fuel pump, is longer and can be switched with the top bolt to hold the pump rod. Then switched back after the pump is installed.
@@up-n-runnin377 Well I remember the ones from here in Northern Indiana, some were even made for Off-Road use (Utility). Hopefully you get some videos of the Fireproof one! Take Care.
That car is a peach compared to most of the late second gens. I think Chevrolet purposely built those cars to rust in the floor pans, lower quarters, and rocker panels. The interiors don’t seem to hold up well either. Regardless, aftermarket parts are definitely plentiful! Shame about the 4 speed though
Manual transmission late second generation Camaros are a heck of a score. I don’t know why everyone in the ‘70s ordered the auto trans. It’s supposed to be a sporty car! I had a 1972 RS clone and a 1978 Type LT. I think the auto Z-28 got 3.42 gears and the manual got 3.73….or vice versa. All the base models received ridiculously tall 2.41 gears 😆
You asked for speculation on the horsepower rating on that LS-7 …… I say enough to frag a 4 speed …😏😜. Looks like possibly a Lakewood bellhousing assembly also ahead of that now worthless 4 speed ( it’ll make a great coffee table conversation piece however😆). I was kinda hoping to hear that baby run ( a whole lot better than those pops & farts anyway) and am a little saddened you cut the video short . That Holley Dominator Carb was an eye opener when you popped off the filter lid . Someone put a lot of money into that car , and in the right hands and with some tuning finesse could be a real sleeper out on the streets at night , especially with those cast iron manifolds and big Hemi Sized turbo mufflers . Keeps it pretty much in “ Stealth -mode “ Hopefully either you , or someone else will get this baby back out on the road , one headlight , patina & bondo & primer & all ,and shake up a few Tesla owners .😎👍
