Ran when parked...38 years ago!!! will this 1970 396 4 speed El Camino fire up? 

Not a chebby guy but that is one worth saving.

Oil Pressure relief valve in the oil pump is probably stuck as you said Chris. Sitting as long as it has it makes sense. Love the channel!

She can be beautiful especially if it’s numbers matching. Definitely worth it. Keep it as a tow rig and enjoy it especially if there’s family history with El Caminos.

Brings back "get er to run" vibes from the early 80s as a teen! 😀

Chris you never fail to make me smile, wish I were your neighbor !

Just seen this exact issue on legit street cars. Same deal, oil filter balloons up at start up and dumps oil. It did wind up being oil pressure relief valve.

Chris, in memory of your dad and Grandpa.And that's a 454 with a 4 speed.I think you need to keep it and drive it. 1970 El Camino they don't make them anymore 😊😊😊😊😊

Chris has got some ( Alot) of Classic Cars!

The Birdman is back!!

Made me nervous how aggressively you worked that hood open 😂 nice work tho Chris I’m trying to get my 67 elco going as well

Just pulled out a 67 396 four speed Chevelle about a month or so ago for a guy, it had been sitting in a barn for like 20 years. It was all solid tho he had it primed before he parked it plus he had two 396 blocks a 427 and a 327 block sitting with it and a new quarter panel for it that’s an actual gm one

Good thing you had that fender cover on!😁

My favorite youtube channel

Runs & drives... wink wink 😉😉

That jack stand is doing it's best, but it's looking forward to retirement

😂😂😂 EVERY SINGLE TIME I SEE someone trying to turn over a motor using the bolt to hold on the balancer to the crankshaft I'M SCREAMING "TAKE OUT THE PLUGS FIRST DAMN IT!!".😂😂😂😎🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

Need that 11/32 wrench to tighten coil nuts.

My brother was given an old Jeep Commander. It had the old Buick V6 225 engine. The timing chain was out of it and it was too rusty for the road. I took the valve covers off along with the front engine assembly. I don't think they ever changed the oil in that engine. I cleaned everything the best I could. Spun the engine over until we got some oil pressure. It started up and the oil light came on. It had pumped the oil filter full of crap and ballooned the oil filter like your El Camino is doing. Several oil filters later we were able to have some fun in the fields and woods with the Jeep until it just broke the frame from being rusted out.

1964 El Camino 283 4 speed was my first car! $800.

I've seen them do that with spun mains. I wouldn't think that wimpy cam driven oil pump could pump that hard with the relief valve stuck.

That is actually a very cool car! 👍🏋️‍♀️

Good times 🎉 nice shop truck or parts runner

Nice vid as always 👍 cheers from France mate

Very cool brother, my first car was also a El Camino. A 69 307 turd but it looked very mice white with black top. It would not blow up because the cam was worn out in the 307. I wanted to 350 swap it but sold it off before I could do it. Then I got a 72 bronze 350 car. I`m also partial to Elko`s

Oil pump pressure, relief valve stuck as you said if I would Watch the video lol

Currently bored in class bird but not anymore with birdsong playing 😎

Already know its an amazing day when Chris posts sorry im late

I love when someone says “ran when parked”. They all ran when they were parked for the last time they ran…😂

They can't all be winners. Good job you have plenty Oil Dri/Sand in your yard.

Hey Chris thank you for the video damn you Chevy

guy from legitstreetcars had a filter that kept leaking oil. He got a couple to seal and they literally expanded and almost blew up. Tuned out to be the pump oil by pass was scratched up sticky

1st Hell yes it'll run, its a Chevy!!

I dont think I would have started it for fear of losing the motor 396 are hard to come by if it's matching numbers, and I am with you love my mopars but I am a car guy threw and threw all have something to offer .

Dalton from pbg mentioned u in his last video, so i subed and put notifications on for your channel. i figured I'd cheak out your latest video i trust the man. My instincts were right im looking forwerd 2 watching all your videos 💪🏽.

Hey man headed out to Vegas and was hoping to be able to meet you.. and perhaps minty ..... Smurf lol

👍👍

"Has great oil pressure."

Yo, Chris, face it bro. Time is right to return to the Isaac Daytona Charger...

There is a check valve with a spring in the oil pump that's stuck. It's the oil pump.

Pressure relief in the pump is stuck.

Just call it the parts chaser! Thats what we called the el caminos and rancheros back in the day.

Fix it up Chris please and it will be worth alot. I beg you to fix it and make it beautiful again

In a world of $#|T television and RU-vid videos, this channel is an island of greatness. In the vein of Roadkill and Roadkill Garage and Faster With *****.

Epic video . Derek be special ha ha . caveman . The door handle thing was a laugh . This my fav video I gotta say. Roller coaster ride .

💪😎

Did someone before leave the outta O-ring on it from the last one???🤷

It could be the oil filter adapter gasket. I had a chevy 454 that developed a leak at the oil filter adapter gasket because it had an old paper gasket. The factory GM oil filter adapter gasket is steel. If you go to an auto parts store they will sell you a paper oil filter adapter gasket instead of the GM factory steel gasket. I believe you can still get a GM factory steel oil filter adapter gasket from a chevy dealer.

👍 ✌

Funny that you can open the door and others have a hard time. Same with my slightly ratty 65 Catalina: Peope are telling me the door is locked. If you have enough strength in your fingers you can open it no problem.

It has the round SS gauges and the delux SS steering wheel

You tried, it needs a rebuild anyways, this little truck needs some cash, you should check the vin and the engine block to see if it numbers matching, make those Chevy boys pay, hehe.

El caminos are based off of the station wagon. I’ve had a 68 and a 71

Points my man. Fuel spark. Coil. Fresh. Gas from pony tank. Carb fuel. Filter

The oil pressure line is right above the oil filter, it is probably leaking out of there. The oil pressure relief spring is probably stuck too, but that is where I would check for your oil leak. Pull it back onto ground that doesn't have oil on it, jack it up, disable the coil and just crank it over while watching underneath to find the actual leak. If you haven't already sold it.

26:33 Been a member the day you added memberships!

Its a 4 speed 396 big block elcamino it will definitely be restored.you just have to sell it to someone who has money.by the way my first car was a 66 elcamino with a 327 with a powerglide it did awesome burnouts.until the rear end exploded.then i traded it to a 68 coronet 500 with a 383 best car trade ever

Had a 80's jeep Comanche 4.0, ran fine but oil filter did the same. Would come loose no matter how tight. 🤷. Sold it

Great to see like minded people's like!!

My 8 year old daughter also had problems to open my 69 chevy door😂

My first car was a 1970 Torino.

Channel Carter Auto Restyling and straighten out the crunched fender. Did it pump any oil up to the heads?

There is a oil port right about the oil filter on big blocks. Did you check that?

damn it would have been a nice proyect for the channel

Isn't there a oil tap in the back of the block for a gauge if that's not plugged in the gush on top by the intake manifold them back

Oil filter adapter aluminum thing that bolts to the block. My small block chevy did this to me, pissed me off.. oil everywhere. It blew out after backing out of my garage no reason other than its a chevy. It had a hairline crack in it. I swapt it out for a used one off another small block problem solved. Shit design G/M 👍

did it get any oil up to the push rods???

try that on a hood of today's car, it would have folded in half

I want to see tall john n birdsong build a drag car from junk parts even the rings n gasket from junk parts n drag race each other in the 1/4 mile.

Oil pressure Sending unit.

There is 2 bolts thst hold housing on for oil filter. The gasket must be ripped

Calling an El Camino a truck is like calling a crew cab pickup a sedan.

The oil leak is from a broken oil pressure sending unit.

How high is Derek? 😆

I meant to say in the back by the intake manifold

Feels like 2005

NOOOO WHERE DID YOUR HAIR GO!! D:

I never in my 58 years see any car 🏃 🇺🇲

Oil pressure gauge sending line thingy is behind the distributor back there. If its a steel line it might have brokeded in the wreck!

The front turn indicator lights are oval shaped on the Elcos.

Will it start? Yes! Will it run? For a while...

I would hang onto the vehicle and take it to muscle cars at the strip and or auto cross it!

Bent push rod and valve rod.....

I thought we're older than 1985 I was born 86 lol

2:00 in 1985 the Elco got smashed and Chris shares with us that his mom also did. Could have been 84 I guess. It's a fuckin joke people. Lighten up. Mine got smashed in 79

Ok, HOw much for that fun bucket 4 speed? Reply back with a way to reach you too pls.😊

Chris, how much are you asking? Ty.

The 70 wagon and elcomino have the same front end the front cap wont fit on a car also the frame is the same as a wagon

Wondering why you just didn't try and push it with the transmission in gear

I am way lost on this video. Couple questions…where is car located…how much…is it still available? Please advise. Thanks.

I'll give ya $100 for the cragers, I seen the condition

I think the fuel injection bearings are STUCK!

Hey man how much for the ol elcamino

The body line is different between '70 and '71, a '70 is inch higher then 71,72,73.

Glad it wasn't a square body hood.

Just wondering if Derek abit special

Hey, Chris. I'm still in search of a late 90s early 2000s Engine 5.9 Magnum engine block. That hopefully is not too worn out. I've got stock pistons. I'm on the West Coast. Called some Yards up here & either no luck or they want Too Much. Can you help? Or any ideas?

Unless the internal components of the engine are knackered you only need air,fuel and a spark so why wouldn't it.

I've been trying to find out how much and if you sold it yet. Any answers?

It ran out of blinker fluid and seized. Betcha.

So how much u want for a 2k el co ?
