Will it run after sitting since 1988? Loaded 427 4-SPEED Caprice 🦄 

Super snoozers

todays cars...and trucks, for that matter... make the malaise era look as radical as exner's look forward, lol.

@@daiichidoku Great comment!

🤨Dude Chuck, That old point type distributor For now Did it even Spin when you cranked it with the cap off stick an h. e. I. down In there one hot wire To the Battery terminal on Side of Distributor cab coil Pour half cup gasoline or spray starter fluid see if she spits or Coughs Keep an eye on that oil pressure gauge or light So you know you got oil pressure there you go 😂

One day in the future all cars will look exactly the same be painted white . They will have a number and car will be the emblem

I had so many people come up to me this weekend at an estate sale talking about the car.

I’m glad you guys appreciate seeing the entire process 🙏🏾

Good times!!!

You and me both!

that pic from the NNNova Nationals or a NNNova Mini Nats??? I miss those! miss my 64' the most! ugh! lol!

@@JVINTAGE1970 Hi! Yes, I think that was the 2007 Nova Nationals in Indianapolis. Mine is a '72. I'm sure your '64 was a beauty! :)

If the filter is green and white, it's probably an old N.A.P.A or Quaker State. Like I said....it's an old one buddy!!

I went to community college and I turned out alright 😂

@@DezzysSpeedShop Amen, C's and D's still get degrees no matter what the name on the diploma says, lol.

No leather in 69.

Exactly 😈

Same car. Marketing terms.

I agree man! I keep starting at it in disbelief

Nice! Have you driven it yet?

I've been to 3 car shows with it this summer. It's fully finished, just dealing with a transmission pan leak.... Annoying!

Thanks for watching

Thanks!

I’m glad you liked the process! More videos are coming

@@DezzysSpeedShop I can hardly wait . This was a nice score and I'm happy I found your channel and told all my buddies about the Caprice they will be drooling over your posts just like the rest of us thanks again. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂👊👊👊👍

Thanks for following. Check the rescue video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cKDAQGwPAmM.htmlsi=dTwTmyTYav6pGo8n

Thanks for watching!

😂 Ready to tear the streets up

Way better 😂

We always called them big cars too and quite a few Chevelles are riding around with their 427s

Not true. I’ve owned many old cars and still do over 100k. Aldo you can repair all the components, alternator starter wiper motor switches and on and on.

@@dukeallen432 That's funny because I was around back then buying used cars all the time. And all car ( Unless maintained very well) were all basket cases at 100,000 - 120,000 max. At that point they most likely had a timing chain and gears replaced along with a valve job. They just did not last like today's engines.

​@@stephenflowers8516a few things to consider, on older cars like this a timing chain and valve guide job is about a 8-10hr job with hand tools, electric or pneumatic tools 4-6hrs if no bolts break. Most newer cars rerequire level 2 technician skills to change a headlight, and the taillights are all on printed circuit boards that cost around $130 for the knockoff brand and sometimes over $500 for the proper part and I'm not talking about expensive luxury cars, I'm talking Maxima, etc... Read a story and watched a few videos about car companies tracking how many times their buyers had sex in their cars using technology installed from the factory. I've been a auto technician for 20yrs so it didn't surprise me that the technology could do this, I was just shocked that they actually used it this way and snuck the consent into the paperwork.

So very true. Cast iron piston ring, bi-metal bearings, cork gaskets, etc. Getting 100k was big. Even more so if a performance engine of any make. Add in being a big block with internal heavy rotating assembly.

Not true , if you kept good oil in the motor it would run forever

That's the plan!

No adjustment for hydraulic lifters.

@@dukeallen432 he may have a rocker loose.

ATF will wash lubricant off the bearings

Thanks for watching 🙌🏾

You and me both!

That’s EXACTLY why I film like this 👊🏾 I figured someone out there could use the info. And we’re working on Dave’s own RU-vid channel as we speak! I’ll let you guys know when it’s up and running.

@@DezzysSpeedShop Yes DEZ!! I was going to gently ask but I figured that Dave would hate to do it. Love you completing the circle by not only finding but showing how to get them back up. My own projects are starting to turn into lawn ornaments...

Can’t wait to hit the streets!

Bull

And air 😎💨

Damn man! The one that got away 😕

Right on!

Going to be a lot of fun bringing this back!

Yeah, this is the first one I had ever seen!

Especially in a big body!

I’ll make the trek back as soon as it’s ready 😎👍🏾

Get those Cyclones going! Those are cool!

@DezzysSpeedShop ah yes I dearly hope so,my "unicorn/"Eleanor " is a '69 cyclone fastback...

Ended up putting three in it

@@DezzysSpeedShop My 427 ate up starters and flywheels, I got pretty good swapping out flywheels on the turbo 400.

Factory never used shims. Crappy starters.

​@@dukeallen432was common on Pontiacs and Chevies...Olds sometimes 😮

I stand and look at it myself bro. Still can’t believe it.

How long had it been off of the road?

Did you see the rescue video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bYJr0cFmpFU.htmlsi=FdrrZbE3ceoUmaRu

Right on!

Thanks 👍

Don’t forget the F41 suspension and the 3.31 posi 🫡

Thanks man! I wanted to film the process without any of the fake drama you see in other videos

I will!

I have 8s and 10s coming. These were basically rollers

@@DezzysSpeedShop sweet! Cant wait to see them
