1963 Chevrolet C10 Abandoned for 37 years in a field! Will it run?!?

hey there boys and girls of youtube world today we're gonna see if we can't get a 1963 chevrolet c10 running [Music] so we picked this thing up it was sitting in a pasture we got it as a parts rig for the 1962 crew cab and it's probably better than the crew cab but it's not a crew cab so we can't get her to light off so here it is long box two wheel drive 63 so 63 is the one year only grill where it's got the smaller headlights 6061 had four headlights and then 62 gm was like oh we got to go back to one headlight so how are we going to fix it let's just put a big ugly dinner plate in there and put one headlight in the middle that's what the crew cab's got and then 64 to 66 are all pretty much the same there's the old 64 to 66 setup wait for cleanup week so we can get rid of our old mitsubishi tv so anyway this is uh pretty much my favorite grill shell and then i think 1661 had the obnoxious hoods 62 they went to these normal hoods that they had all the way through 66. 63 is also the last year of the knee knocker dash this little right here 64 to 66 they cut across got normal doors this is a small back window version it's a higher trim package though it's got this fancy trim down the side six lug of course drum brakes you can see that wheel she's locked up got a 230 250 6 cylinder under the hood 63 was the first year that 62 was the last year look at this rattle trap crap box dogs barking wow what is rattling underneath [Music] oh the dogs big blocks bring the boys to the yard i don't think he wants to shut it off because it's going to diesel wow look who has graced us with their presence don't forget to subscribe to the mickelson racing channel yeah it's it's pretty freaking freaking awesome because we got brand spanking new stickers decals what do you think duff stuff duff would you ride in that thing what do you think buddy game on he's like this seat's way too nice didn't even hesitate which wow did you empty that trailer house and put it in there oh man low car shifter baby blue dash headliner oh is this your girlfriend's tassels here too class of 11. oh man used to be nice until i got a hold of it look at this must have a stair stereo in there not even hooked up that's held in by velcro i guess hook and loop tape so we got hillbilly race car guy in there doing band saw things cause he doesn't have one of them so let's keep checking this thing out so i think these two bumper bolts are missing because she had a a-frame hitching on it and somebody got a little whiskied up and whammed her into the back of the garage or backed in it with a trotter or who knows but really got the hood good didn't get that sweet grill too bad guessing the door got wrapped around because that's usually what happens you know you're backing her up and get the door open giving her the old lean too and forget that there's a tree there so it's got the white door on it good news is they put the old mirror on it bad news is yep it's busted there's a support in here for the fender and they always feel full of dirt and rod out so there's that that fender's pretty straight this little whammy there i'm guessing the fuel tank is going to be just fine scenes always open to mother nature check her out duff see what you think hey we got keys and a radio delete oh look at this fancy who dank who owned this thing joe sparrow i wonder if he had a brother named jack so she's pretty chewy the mice like to get up through the b-pillar and come up in here and leave their fecal matter and whatnot don't they duff that's kind of the smell you like and that really raises havoc on these 60 to 66 cabs i had the deluxe heater option radio delete 95 990 miles no factory tack otherwise gosh it really isn't that bad i mean usually that's where they get her up in there right below the rocker or the kick panel three speed on the tree showed you guys how to run that in the 59 bel air video maybe this tank ain't bad oh yeah there's a whole lot of mousy mouse nest in there so we're just gonna bypass that obviously we're gonna need a seat if we get it to run what's in the glove box what is in here what's that tool for comment down below these never open with one hand oh yeah nothing in there it was all in there no it's all down there of course the used rotor they always carry those around probably a used set of points in there as well lock collar punch that's down to nothing spare brake pedal clutch pad what's this torch tip filter of sorts whatever it is it's stuck this one didn't have a passenger visor cheapskate that's pretty nifty oh man look at that this visor holder was even personalized for jack's brother joe i think you put your sunglasses there and a pen there registration the dealio old joe sparrow he had all the swanky stuff wow kid's always going to jump on the roof fixed it that one i don't think we're going to smack out this hood's better than the crew cab hood bed floor half we'd put a sheet of plywood in there but it's actually cheaper to buy a eight foot bed off a pickup like that and put on here than a sheet of plywood freaking rona ruined everything on duff it's got the diggers on the back for all the winter traction tow bumper 80 plates but tags to 84. so what's that i mean this thing's been sitting for 37 years that's that's a while oh man that door is she gone hepatitis see you later hepatitis see you later tailgates respectable missing the latch this is the flush toe bumper don't stick way out usually they run into stuff push the bedsides in this guy he was he was worse it's joel he was smashing up that side and not the passenger side good for him looks like he did a little painting at one time because i'm guessing that's not gm paint with all the flow checks in it over there probably a pretty sharp rig orange or the white top at least it's not all full of poopy tech tip of the day you can tell if somebody's replaced the cab corners on these things they got this little lip down here that matches this aftermarket ones just kind of wrap around and they're smooth i don't know if you gotta have a two stamp process to make these but none of the originals were smooth like that none of the aftermarket that i know of have this lip down here like they should have so it's always how you could tell if you're looking at something that somebody says is original or never been rusty or whatever look for that lip worthless information for the day man that rocker is even good how's the cab supports good damn too bad she's wasted up there all right let's open the hood and see what we got yeah six in a row ready to tow six in a row ready to tell eight to v you probably sit down to pay you got mismatched heater core hoses oh man that one's a limp noodle and that one stiff as a brick stole the coil because that's what people do apparently steel coils because they think that's the problem and really it's not i think we're so proud of that deluxe heater that they put chevrolet tag on it like i said this is a 230 or 250 i'm guessing 230 because it's got the script up top there i don't know if the 235s had that or not but i think a 235 is just a single cover on the side and this one's got two covers see that split in the middle so i guess we'll go find a coil well provided this thing turns over i'd say we should cut that fuel line so we don't suck any fuel up there but didn't have to cut it just tore it off and there's clearly no fuel on that tank i think 62 was the last year the hydraulic clutch they're mechanical on these 63 and newer looks like our exhaust pipe kind of rusted through almost looks like the clutch might have hit it yeah 63 i think this should have had a generator but somebody converted it to an alternator maybe not yes flexi hoses with the hourglass radiator clamps my favorite oh what on the bottom even how could i get so lucky probably full of coolant well it's wet in there so that's a plus where is the dipstick jimmy there she is it's over full so that's not good see how the oil is up there and there's not oil down there i'm i'm guessing that thing's full of water so we should probably drain that water out of there if we can get it to turn hopefully it does turn super is the carbonator loose well we'll worry about that if we get it to turn over oh somebody stole the elementor bracket some of a biscuit we just can't have nice things oh in the ground cable we stole that too this thing has just been picked apart still looking for a battery sponsor could be your name right here i'll go grab that and another black cable suppose not to confuse myself check back shortly guessing the ground cable went to that bolt that's loose in the thermostat housing so that's handy of course that batteries backwards fixed it gets out of gear i'd rock it but the wheels locked up hook up the loser switch purple wire let's see if she spins not so much well with the french toast well does it turn over by hand sure seems like it hope we can take another starter apart it's only been like four or five episodes since we did that the old valve loosener that usually fixes them ah appears as though we're going to be pulling another starter off good news is there's a lot of real estate to work with underneath the old six cylinder the bad news is i don't think i got a spare but i'm guessing everything about the nose cone is gm standard parts even though i think we pretty much used all those up we're gonna be looking for a starter sponsor here shortly stuff since i'm going under after that starter oh the one over here i think i'll drain the water out of the engine yeah there's going to be a lot of it do you want to take bets on if there's water in it or not i bet there is oh yeah that's water see the key is not fired up so that not to startle it so all the water stays at the bottom and then once oil starts coming you just slam that plug back in real quick maybe it's gas probably water though at least it's clean not like that flint michigan stuff or tijuana mexico uh maybe i should get a bigger pan it's uh getting pretty full here okay i'm guessing that's like a six or eight quart pan there we go all right now just in time the pan is almost full if only this janky drain plug would go in still getting some water on there so i must let the hood open for a while [Applause] you can see our water pan is getting pretty full down here pretty rusty on that starter nose cone so i'm guessing the old sack rat from puddin's fab shop made a nice little mouse house in there and we're still getting water dang it then you can see the cab supports inner rocker all that stuff is pretty dang good coil spring rear suspension gm first in 1960 oh this is the first year of the regular independent a arm suspension 60 to 62 had the torsion bars they leave a little bit to be desired in my opinion that's what white lightning's got they're okay see just how deep she was in the in the dirt she was down there real nice and deep black get in there nice and deep all right let me go look at a starter i wonder if that's the hidden serial number i don't think so just some random number stamp in the frame oh hey would you look at that we're down to a drip i think i'll tighten that plug up that's what happens when you strip the plug out that's the flexi hose version of drain plug off the shelf fix it i bet that leaks when we're done guaranteed oh you can see that pan is just plumb full up with water i'm guessing that's like a gallon and a half don't worry greta we'll dispose of it properly how dare you well you can see by all the debris and the rust in there that clearly some type of critter was making his home by this nose cone and squirrel piss that's that's good lubricant mouse piss not so much so i think we'll put some zeppum on there and try to work her with the pliers a little bit maybe get some compressed air all right ready for the henta virus oh man are we gonna split this thing i suppose [Music] i'm going to put our locking pliers on here you can't call it a vice grip cause that's a patented name and using that patented name without authorization yeah that's against the law oh boy there we go just turn all the way over there see it'll only turn one way which is that way which is clockwise and you're looking from the end the other way if you don't turn the whole thing wants to turn oh losing a trend cap you stay in there there just like new now we just got to remember how we took it apart put it back together same but only different so that goes into there should we clean that mouse poop out of there yeah it'll be fine tricky part is getting these holes lined back up with that hardware where are those at right there [Music] [Applause] [Music] so [Music] dang it how could that be this is preposterous what the french better ground minty it's freaking good slam her back on just gotta hook our wires up here but guess what mickelson shows up and he has starter problems now it's like the death of us around here hey what's wrong with your pickup uh the cheapest starter oh you got it you're gonna adjust the valves i see think well [Music] ding fries are done [Music] what garbage [Music] does it say napa on it oh yeah you had it professionally rebuilt by someone i forgot 2010 140 miles ago accurate yes what are the odds pretty good actually i'd say 85 you can't make this up so that's the thing is if you're gonna have a reality tv channel you gotta you gotta always have the camera rolling did you not even bring a camera with no it doesn't chase then you could tag mortsky in it and you'd probably get at least 230 views that'd be a double up so that's that's a far stretch let's see if we got any better luck than him [Music] oh [Music] this is terrible [Music] well pull the plugs out i guess see what [Music] happens so mr mickelson what next year [Music] my name is august always check to make sure that your battery cables are tight we're not broken like mine are make sure to spend a thousand dollars on fuel injections but don't spend 30 on battery fuel injection sucks carburetor for life i should have let you take that starter off geez not even a burnout oh i guess we didn't need that battery now will it turn over how can that be tell if we gotta get this thing turned over we're gonna lose the shop [Music] that will look so rusty it's not going to hold nothing that sure be terrible if my battery cables were loose and that's why this one was turning over that's called caramel right hmm [Music] it's making a different noise now [Music] let's put some zeppelin in them [Music] cylinders [Music] oh she's still got our a adjustable belt tensioner here for all the tensions that can't be oh no so the harmonic balancer the rubber shot and when i turn this it's only turning the pulley on the outside of the harmonic balancer and the crank's not turning she's stuck what a thought with a gallon half water that might be stuck dang it see if i can't put the handheld camera down there show you guys what's going on so you can see our bottom pulley fan blade's kind of in the way but as i turn it watch how the pulley turns in the center of the crank doesn't no i can't get it ouch i don't know what we're gonna do i guess we'll ever soak maybe pull that inspection cover watch all the mouse poop fall out of that see if we can't get the flywheel to turn over what are you barking at super kind of mouse nest are we gonna find in here oh just a little baby antivirus not that bad now we can put our big bar between keith and the bell housing hopefully we can get it to budge probably should jack it up in the air but we won't everybody says oh marvel mystery oil works wonders so here you go guys there you go leave a little marvel sitting there for a while the bar wasn't doing anything so see what this does even if it does loosen up we know she's gonna have some stuck rings [Music] so a few people got real upset when i post the video on how i get brake drums loose on that 55 chevy i torched out a ring right there so the hub can turn and the drum stays stationary everyone's like oh you ruined the brake drum blah blah blah anyway no matter how you do it this drum is probably shot because it's seized to the shoes and even if you turn it plus these drums are probably like 40 bucks a piece and you can see how stuck they are so we'll take her apart a little less destructive way that'll appease the masses get one of these fancy pliers for taking dust caps off what is this what pearls why is there pearls in here what is that solder what are we getting into oh oh so the nut doesn't go on all the way onto the spindle so that it goes through the hole or the end of the spindle broke off so these guys literally just soldered the cotter pin in there wow that's brave hopefully a shop didn't do that because if this nut backs off you lose the whole wheel i've never seen that before you learn something new every day that's great yeah i think this spindle broke off in a previous life i like to throw all my parts inside of the dust cap there so they don't get dirty and then you get one of these here polar contraptions without breaking your wrist i like the good old used tools they're well proven get them on the ebays i don't know that new junk on amazonia let me thread a couple of lug nuts on now with any luck just pop right off one of these episodes we're gonna get by without having to use this eight purvis blades knife i would do it though and then i like to drop the wheel pairing right in that dirt down there sixty percent of the time it happens every time 60 of the time it works every time that doesn't make sense there you go prestola no more brake issues you just got all that throw it back together it'll be fine brakes we don't need no stinking brakes you just pop this puller off put all back together wheel bearings full of dirt and [Music] everything [Music] so after about a one month hiatus back on the old white door 63 here yeah just set her back down on the ground we were under there prying on it with bob and another assortment of bars even a filter full of croil again somebody sent me the new industrial size yep the oil that creeps this stuff smells delicious whoever sent me two cans of this stuff thanks a lot the old 230 that's what we're saying it is is stuck she is stuck stuck so we're gonna rip into it pudding he always says that i rebuild engines to get him running he just throws a solenoid and a accelerator pump on a forward his run so let's start pulling the head off see what we can find it's a chevy it's gotta run right what do you think duff do you even like this thing doesn't have a seat oh hey look a battery still looking for a battery sponsor anything good in there all right really what do you think well if duff approves you should probably get it running comment down below it what do you think we should do with a duff approved sticker just have a paw print or just have him give him a thumbs paw up i don't know maybe just a happy face like that with a check mark i think that'd be a cool sticker speaking of stickers still got some you need some ten bucks for four pack via the paypal or snail mail yeah we gotta get this going we're gonna lose the shop for sure or we just stop feeding you how about that oh yeah yeah look at how fast the tail goes get to work he says [Music] we got pudding on paws he's getting ready to do some pressure washing cause that's what he does pressure washes things but it looks like somebody did a little pressure washing inside this engine uh yeah not good i was just noticing how much paint is on this engine like maybe this thing was rebuilt at one time but and surprisingly like you don't see any sludge down there in between the valves like i don't know see what happens when i open her up hopefully there's just a bunch of water in one of the cylinders guaranteed i don't know how it all got right there because the breather was like way back here i think there was one up front sure enough one up front in the back i don't know why it's so rusty in the middle let's pull some head bolts out get after it freaking pudding gets all the easy ones [Music] where's chin when you need him oh this is a bad idea it's so damn hot milk was a bad choice the look of disappointment on that dog's face pretty much sums it up remember how i told you i put oil in all these well croil which looks like atf see how it's gone and all these other ones oh there's a nice discoloration in that cylinder for some reason let's serve a ring groove oh hardly any but i'm thinking this one is our stuck culprit oh what is that what is that is that a valve that i didn't even hit with a hammer that's that's the head of the valve rotted right off oh oh my gosh hopefully it's just rust shaped like the valve gm would never do this to us would it oh yeah it's just rust shaped like the valve whoa dodged a bullet there didn't we duff so i guess i don't see anything too crazy there clearly it was coming through there none of the valves are really stuck open so that's disappointing it's kind of hoping to smack some of them with a hammer what do you think duff is it a lost cause come on now that's crazy rust shaped like the belt i don't know how that water got in there i guess we'll find out so clean that cylinder out a bit and give her some heat tap it with a wood block see what i feel like it's past my bedtime though so we're gonna shut her down maybe think about it then we're gonna need to find a new radiator hose flexi hose fail of the day i mean at least there's no ring ridge but look at the discoloration in all those cylinders it's kind of weird i've heard that these six cylinders because i got the water pump up front the front cylinders will run cold and the back stones are on hot causes issues but if we get real ambitious we'll clean up top of a piston and see if she's been bored over i thought that it really freaking matters this thing didn't even have a block heater this is one of the rare rigs that we got in here that didn't have a electric option was not a hybrid so we know the rings aren't that good on all the other five because coils went right past so i'm guessing there's probably some water in the pan so let's just forget about changing that let's see if we can get her spinning over first what is what else can find in stock engines i need a sandwich well didn't have any tiffany's last night you know cause it's a school night we're gonna clean that cylinder out i think we're just gonna crank the heat to it and smash on it with a hammer because that's pretty much what we do around here beat it like it owes you money here we go oh yeah well these kind of t-shirts or button ups don't soak up anything kind of figured that was gonna happen you gotta optimize the type of shirts you use for making rags you know you don't just use any shirt underwear or good socks they're okay but they just don't have the surface area and also with the underwear is it better to have your own or somebody else's i prefer my own [Music] that is if you wear underwear nothing against those of you that don't look at this that was a duluth training company that was a good shirt probably only one of them once point having nice things see any stampings on there we're gonna hit that with duff oh yeah broken a valve but we haven't broken a piston yet not on camera anyway at least let's get some heat oh royal burns [Applause] it's not moving is it duff oh yeah found out who the coil come from keith said it to me the first time sent me a couple of these industrial sized ones so croil keith we thank you i guess we got ourselves a coil sponsor why are you not moving son of a biscuit [Music] so oh man we just ruined like a dollar two by four what are we gonna do duff we gotta get this thing going we are gonna lose the shop for sure this week air hammer seems like a bad and a brilliant idea at the same time no way so it kind of looked like it budged you're going to crawl underneath so we can't move with the bar a little bit you guys keep an eye on it from up here oh it budged did you see it duff which way did it go up or down how do we know i can't tell right now tomorrow okay okay ow albeit very little that crankshaft is moving i like sanford and some we're moving on up is that sanford and some oh [Music] all right oh for cheese and rice oh i swear we added the budget down there back to the heat oh it's going i better go down like a half inch mark the crankshaft so you can see which way it's turning so for reference it's turning clockwise when you look from the front it ain't turning very fast i sure hope we don't break that piston all right no idea what i'm doing here whoa you're not supposed to do that that's what i know about that i think we've turned it about four degrees well we're not making a lot of progress i know you're not supposed to sit in one spot with it i can't really go up and down because there ain't no room in there i presume that's back to where it was there we go progress stuff oh that's like back up to where it was maybe who knows either way let's move [Music] it some headway but it's turning hard what happens if we hook up a battery and see what happens oh come on loser switch i'm gonna hook our ground to now well since it's a nice new cable let's just vice grip it to something though and nothing why would we have nothing i can't imagine that ground is not good well for cheese and rice i want the fuel pump is that a good enough ground for you come on battery dead bad connection on the loser switch is the dealio starter doesn't like that stiff engine either back underneath all right bringing her on back gearwrench needs to make one of these ratcheting flywheel turners that'll be the cat's pajamas right there all right sticky cheese rice hey buddy you come to help emotional support gotta be getting close to a full revolution on duffers ah [Music] don't worry nancy no band-aid required it just stings a little bit and we need an ice pack oh not a starter if we get this thing running duff i'm gonna beat this thing like a reddit mule how about now oh that's sticky [Music] [Music] so [Music] it's not about the size of the drill right it's all about the motion [Music] well we're gonna put some more squirrel piss on this we'll leave her sit for another night because soaking that's the key according to all the experts out there i'm more of a fan of heat and brute force or whatever kind of force i got strong like ox dumb like plow right that's what my grandpa always said all right i've had enough fun sandwich time look at this that's right it turns over well the starter so after prying on that thing and getting it to budge i still couldn't get it to turn over and then i had epiphany over last night and she said try a new battery cable sure enough how it turns over it ain't real fast but it's turning over i just need to figure out what's squeaking which is the squeaky cylinder that gets the grease oh the magic smoke is coming out of the starter stay in there so thing we'll do is i'll just bump it over with the loser switch and get it to where the cylinders are at very bottom of the stroke and then we'll run that reamer through there and see if we can't hold the cylinders up a bit maybe that'll get it spinning over faster save on that starter a bit [Music] so [Music] so now i think we'll clean up the gasket mating services clean up the gasket spray some head gasket in the cam on the head gasket my cam's got to be able to run the you can rebuild a lot of engines with that cam set that head back on there adjust some valves see what happens i'm sure everything's going to be just fine so this right here is a super scraper not a paid advertisement but i am a dealer for these things so literally life-changing gasket scraper they come in three different sizes this is the wide one it gets inch and a quarter and then there's some 5 8 inch wide ones short one and a long one this is my go to the ss one if you need one of these hit me up prices are listed in the description you do paypal or snail mail a check but yes these things are awesome made in america handles i believe are made in wisconsin they're assembled in iowa it's got a carbide tip a lifetime warranty so hit me up if you need one these things are flipping awesome so when looking at this head gasket i tried getting it off and it doesn't seem like it's a copperhead gasket it's like fiber or aluminum or i don't know duff what do you think it is anyway i think we're just not going to mess with it i think we'll just kind of wire wheel inside of that valve a little bit well maybe not we'll just brush in there by hand and then we'll just wipe off that mating surface i don't want to hit it with the gasket scraper and scuff it up too bad and then we'll just over spray it with the old head gasket in a can call it good because i don't think i got a 230 250 head gasket on hand although it would be nice to have a gasket kit and then take that intake and exhaust off because you're no help setting it on there and that'll lighten it up a bunch but see we can do a wear wheel probably ain't gonna be so hot it might tear up my sweet aluminum head gasket it's lightweight for going real fast [Music] so [Music] waiting what were you doing which we know how that goes dang it stuck bells [Music] so you got the old duro industrial valve spring compressor it's a cf-11 model if you're interested about it made in the usa it's old as dirt so we got that valve spring compressed and then we're going to take and pop the keepers off and drop them into the deep abyss and then we'll go ahead and release that and we'll take the valve out and clean it all up gonna be good as new yeah because i mentioned that it probably is stuck it was chin can predict the future the the wire wheel just carry the old 1-2 valve job we don't need no stinking valve job she's a little thin down there in the neck a little pit it up though real good good thing i calibrated my tapper this morning go in the hole okay you're home oh why didn't you just go home that's your home are you too good for your home answer me [Music] now we're down to the last one though wasting the good surprise on you gonna do what you're gonna do a little buddy good hi i'm probably the only person who's used the whole can of this and i'm not proud of it but the internet told me to well oh wowza right to the last drops glad we didn't get to the next flathead overall no not a permatex copperhead gasket sponsor if anybody's out there perfortex that's you that's you man this thing's gonna be like new new head gasket new pistons valve job i board it with a big board the three uh job home like this wire wheel spark plugs see we could cut this stuff out and pretend like we're real mechanics but we're not to do it right putting the push rods in you typically slide them in and adjust them and that's a big long process in itself that we're not good at so i think what we're going to do is i'm just going to loosen each one of these rocker shafts up predetermined amount of turns like 10 and then we'll just slide the push rods in and tighten it back up 10 turns and then it should be just the way it was before so we should at least be close just grab that blow gun and blow all that crap off too since we're at it you know since this thing's basically fresh 10 half turns push rod so these push rods they're hollow oil's gotta go through there so you look through it and see if you can see the light you can't see light there's much sludge in there so that's what chin's gonna do move all these out after they overhauled it it seems like five turns three four is the magic number to get these out of the way so i did notice that there's two screws holding the distributor cap on one of them was completely loose and i don't know if that's why but it's really corroded in here so let's hook up our coil wire snap them babies a few times oh yeah hook it up on this end too i'm not getting anything out of our coil better filer points i suppose [Music] well our gap should be between 16 and 19 thousandths we're pretty much right there maybe a little bit tight so and we'll file them just a little bit more i'm not a very hot spot coming on the coil not sure what the reason is there but probably good enough to run [Music] that'll be good enough good enough roads for right duff pretty crashed out for the night scratch inside the cap a bit trying to get rid of some corrosion on the contacts in there oh boy those are green between the valve job the stock rings the crappy spark plugs weak spark i don't think this thing's gonna run very well maybe it'll surprise me in theory if we give it a little hot sauce this thing should maybe pop off what's the worst that could happen burn the shop down oh thanks for the battery nancy i had to go scrounge that one up from the dark depths i don't remember where i even found it but it's still around it even turn over with the plugs in [Music] kind of here goes nothing swing shot engaged slingshot engaged [Music] why isn't it popping off then i'm guessing it could be turning over a little bit faster all right hooked our fuel line up got our clickety clack hooked up to a boat tank sitting on the cowl up here i actually hooked up the vacuum advance too i don't know why so we don't have a vacuum leak we'll get all the horsepowers turn the fuel pump on doesn't seem like we're getting fuel coming out of the throat of the carburetor so got the old valve loosener upper and tapped on there still not getting any fuel but you see it's wet around the gasket up top there so i know it's getting fuel in there so maybe you just gotta have it cranking over to suck some in there i don't know and for that one guy that says that i don't ever turn the choke on and that's why my engines don't start until i put the choke on we'll flip the choke on just for you buddy because you know everything all right let's see what happens let's hook up our power mess of wires here don't start on fire oh yeah we need to choke it for that guy [Music] i don't think it's working guys it's not even really trying let's get our fancy spark plug tester well spark tester that's probably better i can't zap myself it's been a few weeks since we did that [Music] and that's why the most part coming out of the plug wire got spark at the coil however so is it just a bad plug wire is it the cap rotor we may never know since we're getting spark at the coil we know that the distributor is turning so we eliminate that the cap and rotor didn't look good but at the same time they didn't look terrible tell you what i'm going to try a new plug wire quick let's see if that resolves the issue because that's easy to do let's steal that one right there coil's hooked up [Applause] that sucked out i need to paint that loser switch bright orange instead of black there you are where i left yeah no spark at the plug [Music] we got spark at the coil so we know it's either got to be the cap or the rotor which one do you think it is duff did we forget to put the roller in there i'm betting it's like got once i me to say a cap but i feel like it's the rotor there really ain't anything to go wrong on a road rather than be a little corroded i have seen where the cap the plastic inside or the connection inside coming from that coil wire will break so maybe that's what it is i don't know if i got a cap for 2 30. it turns out they only had 2 30s in 1963 according to rock auto anyhow i'll go check my stash see what i got what would you look at that dr 438 new old stock delco i even labeled 232.50 what are the odds that it's actually what it is oh boy which way you go well there's only two ways it can fit that way that way it feels better so we just got the one plug wire slid in got our coil wire hooked up spark plug tester so power up to our coil and this should tell us if it was the cap or if we need to find our order [Music] nothing [Applause] [Music] i guess we need to go find a rotor here we go we got the tk222mz gmc and amc ignition tune-up kit 4.49 whenever they sold this new chevrolet camaro and chevelle oh chevrolet truck four and six cylinders 63 to 74. how neat is that made in usa even oh man that's way too good for the rest of this garbage we leave that new cap on there i hate to sacrifice it on this piece of garbage yeah see i complain about chevys too you guys don't have to i think i'm a chevy lover because i complain about the fords and mopars that come in here i complain about everything they all suck all equally coil back up third time's a charm right what the heck [Music] still nothing [Applause] i guess we do got a points and condenser we could put in there oh look handy dandy little red pill i wonder what's in there it's probably way better than hoover schniff son of a biscuit man this thing's gonna be all new if we put points and condenser in there supposed to give you that coil no it's never the coil we use that coil to start a flathead here a while ago too wait a minute i'm at a loss of words remember how i said earlier when the screw was loose on the cap and one was missing there's no condenser in here i didn't even look for it it's gone so that's why we don't have spark i guess the condenser is just basically a capacitor so it builds up a charge and that's what gives you the big kablooey so now you know if you don't have a condenser it'll just give you a little bit of a tickle you gotta have a condenser that really adapts you grandpa used to play a real dirty trick with condensers you charge them up and you throw them at people and zaps them i don't remember how it works i should look into it you guys probably know comment down below and dirty shop tricks like you know some guys will light people's rags on fire that are in their back pocket sliding stuff under cars when they're underneath there had a guy throw a cigarette butt underneath me one time i was under a car so i'd roll on that and get burned real classy individuals well at least they left us the screw so now should have all kinds of zap coming out the coil compared to what we had before oh yeah you can hear it i'm stealing my new parts back except for that condenser you can keep that all right i'm pretty confident something's going to happen so confident i'm going to say it [Music] [Music] we got spark give her a little cosby and a can see what happens [Music] i think we need more battery dump this is battery number three gripes everything in the yard is going to be depleted of batteries it probably won't spin over any faster [Music] starting to get some blow-by coming through the head here so something must be happening [Music] hopefully it's not like a y block [Music] kind of reminds me of the wide lock though no compression and doesn't want to do anything and it's starting to spit through the uh head here so hmm do we need more compression how do we up our compression other than a valve job and rings man as stiff as it turns over you'd think would have some okay compression i guess we could squirt some oil in there see if that helps it come to life so pull the computer don't look up ways to put compression into an engine because you'll either get some 99 a can stuff or guys talking about high performance pistons and whatnot but i think we'll do a compression test you guys got some of these neat old tools like this snoppone kit look at that five bucks at a garbage sale you guys got any sweet tools you found i like the old stuff like that especially when they're cheap analyze on the rock auto i think it's supposed to be an rn 12 yc i got these n 13 wise the electrode's a little bit longer but i think it'll clear and uh these things are clearly seasoned and then mr kern look at all these goodies he sent us i had to guess what this was it's a it's a break go no go feeler gauge thinger i'm sure we'll be using that because we do a lot of breaks around here we can gap our spark plugs he's got a connection at car quest he said the ol mopar bandit he's gonna be glad that i got these because he loves these like i love flexi hoses but they do come in handy probably could have used a set on this rig r45 ntscs no these were uh the 5a style plugs those won't work what we need got some weld bottles seafoam good stuff pb blaster when i lived in the big city use this all the time because it's cheap easy to get now that i'm in the middle of nowhere i just buy the expensive stuff online but we'll use this stuff definitely thread locker now way better than cross threading which is nature's thread locker i'm told battery post cleaner some ultra black and then a t-shirt i'm guessing his connection is at pen auto parts give those guys a call sound like some good dudes i do like pocket tees but this is a large i'm kind of chubby so if you guys are going to send me shirts you might want to look into an xl we'll see if we can fit in this one if all else fails duff can wear it i will send it to put in that skinny little so i think what we're gonna do is pull the plugs out see where we're at and maybe put some oil in there and that'll tell us if it's the rings that are bad look at all that oil we're getting but anyway uh you saw me doing it last night with chin was here i did feel that the push rods all move you know when there's not tension on the valve so that means i'm not holding the valve open with the push rod i know if you got them down too tight and you got the valve open you're never going to get very good compression because it's going to leak past that valve that you're prying open but i think we just got really bad rings and then obviously needs a valve job we're not going to do all that stuff because we're already going to lose the shop on this freaking pickup waited here way too long anyway in case you didn't know 63 was the first year mechanical clutches i think 60 to 62 had hydraulic clutches and they kind of suck they're good when they work but they'll leave you stranded on the side of the road where this mechanical stuff really never does duff he likes mechanical clutches too well let's give her the old whiz-bang test see where we're at well now's where we get to play and name that compression stolen from cold war motors thanks scott i'm guessing zero what do you guys think better yet let's guess how many cylinders have at least 50 pounds of compression i'm gonna guess two here we go [Music] well this fancy snap-on gauge doesn't hold but looks like we're getting pretty dang close to 50 at least 40. [Music] 40. [Music] [Applause] that one's right at 50. tell you what it's got for pressure oil pressure all kinds of it this thing lights off we're gonna have oil everywhere this was the one that was stuck so i bet this one's got real good compression not that one barely wiggled the meter there's somebody messaging me back on facebook marketplace on something i messaged them six days ago about this is gonna be a good one we're gonna hit at least 80 here [Music] or 60. was this the good one 70. that's if this gauge is any good but it's probably not [Music] 45 maybe oh no not good who'd have thought a stuck engine would not have any compression when we got done with it now what should we drizzle a little oil in there see if we get some compression i suppose unleash engine power oh yeah here we go helps extend life and peak performance best money ever spent says rob in illinois you ever read the backs of jb weld oh we should go read those those are the best i fixed my d8 caterpillar engine saving myself eighteen thousand dollars oh dang it they must have taken it off of there you can use it on anything though toys marine outdoor equipment crafts fiberglass ceramic tile it literally does it all though it's good for 5020 psi if we dump some of this in the cylinder that'll seal up those pistons here we go what was this one out for like 40. [Music] oh man that's like 70. almost 200 that one time that was kind of a fluco so oil definitely makes a difference we know it's the rings i mean we knew it was before but we just verified it so i don't know we put a little oil on each one and then throw those new spark plugs in and oil those sums of guns up there's this test just to tell you if the rings are bad and then you just put it on the weeds like 80. let's see what it does on the dead stuck hole [Music] it's turning over like mad now for some reason but we're still getting like five or ten psi's off that being said we know we got an issue with piston rings so i think i'm just going to drizzle some oil in all these and throw those new plugs in there we're just going to we're going to hit it see what happens probably a bunch of disappointment that's what's probably gonna happen yeah here we go nls and 13 wise hopefully the piston does not play patty cake with the electrode maybe we'll spin a couple in see if we hear a thud that would be smart huh there's a lot of oil in that cylinder whoops there's a lot less in there now [Music] i didn't kiss the electrode well it's all full of oil i don't know it's probably a really bad idea but somebody be sure to say to try it if we didn't do it so we're kind of like myth busters myth busting with mortsky motor myths with more man that's a that's a tough riddle all right firing orders right i guess see what happens [Music] [Music] oh yeah flip the show click the one guy says it's way closer than the y block ever was [Music] [Music] yeah that carb is definitely not doing us any favors dang it i think i think those plugs are a full oil and b full of gas and see we don't have i mean we got compression it's turning over like the battery's dead or it's got compression maybe both i wonder if i got a different carbonator we can stick on there that's any better probably not but let's go take a look so here's what i drug out of my carb pile this one looks the cleanest but she's stuck this one stuck as well this one's packed full of mud dabbers but it's free so you know what we're gonna do we're gonna knock the mud daubers out throw this sucker on there here's your eviction notice dopp oh man it's way up in here too oh yeah i'm sure this carburetor is going to be just fine [Music] just fine it was new oh crap it's got an inlet on the wrong side well so long as it bolts on there we'll figure out a fuel line [Music] yeah the one that's on there comes out the side like so this one comes out the front son of a biscuit oh stucker you can't be that stuck are you give her the old locking pliers overhaul oh yeah there we go a little croil on there good as new free as a bird just like leonard skinner [Music] said all right i'm just going to throw this on there it's going to be good there's a bunch of crud in the fuel inlet so i mean that's a good sign we'll just blast that through oh better yet let's take that off should be a filter in here park that on the battery just a little cobweb good to go well it fits on the mounting bolt pattern so that's a plus see it's set up for the mega tall high lift ram air air cleaner setup which is a pretty rare option on these old 230s you can tell by the super long stud sticking out the top there let's see what happens good news is the plug should be all dried open though [Music] so it's making combustion but it's going past the cylinders and it's coming out the head which isn't a good deal so i don't know if we dump more oil in there we'll go if we go through the carburetor will it go i can burn out on this thing we got much time to do and we still don't know if we got brakes so i know we don't have brakes i can tell you that it's not going to have brakes i don't know what to tell you get the head off this thing got it loose got a couple of stuck valves loose diagnosed a missing condenser i think she just needs a rebuild guys i hate to leave you at that but mike pudding says you can't win them all so we took a 1963 chevy half-ton pickup it's been off the road for 38 years with a stuck engine got her loose kind of got compression got her turning over just couldn't get her to go i think this thing needs a little more work than we're going to want to put into it so at this point same bell housing as a small block chevy i'd probably drop a video you got to do exhaust anyway you need new flexi hoses you might as well just convert it to a v8 well we ain't quite ready to throw in the towel yet this car she ain't too grungy inside it's already blew the base off blew all that out stuck a new umbrella on the accelerator pump hopefully it's the same as a quarter puke i blew this all out but we're going to clean her up a little bit better only tore that gasket just a little bit should be all right for what we need i did have a kit for a 235 on hand and i think that gasket's the same so that looks clear don't ask me what any of these are or what they do oh look a ball those are my favorite i don't think we'll have to take the inlet off because there was a bunch of fuel in there so we know it's getting into the bowl okay that's about all there is to this thing i think i'm gonna go give this thing a blowj over there then we'll be back spamming her back together [Music] so seat back in oh ball don't you fudge i heard it hit the ground son of a biscuit that's why i hate balls tough let's sniff that thing out you don't like chasing balls either guaranteed as soon as i get on my hands and knees duff dog will show up hey did you come to help or sniff my face you are no help none whatsoever [Music] i told you i hate those balls i wonder if the new kids got one and it will just steal out of it they don't ever go bad right it's got one in there hey purpose evan give him a shout out in a while well stick that on there see if that helps the scenario see if that boosts compression not likely well see if she says the light off today probably not the accelerator pump works that's a plus what do you think oh yeah she's just leaking by the throttle shaft now [Music] [Music] oh thing sounds so familiar to the old y block why does it turn over so slow yet have such little compression there's a lot of hot sauce here [Music] well we gotta pull those plugs out and see what they look like maybe put some more oil in there i mean i just want to hear this thing run that's all it's not too much to ask plugs are plenty wet i don't know if that's boil or what i'm just going to do the front three okay right into the front floor all right what are the attribute lights off now not very good [Music] um it's so close pushing on a lot of white smoke [Music] well guys it just wasn't in the cards for the old 63. i busted hump on this thing for i don't know how many evenings got it loose got the valves loose got it turning over got spark got fuel no compression so i mean really you can pull this thing apart cylinder walls look really good do a valve job do some rings maybe throw some bearings and oil pump at it while you're in there this thing can be back on the road then you got to do exhausts gotta do brakes tires needs to find a seat i do have a title for this thing so i'm done with it had my fun had a flexi hose we broke it and that was pretty much our sign that this thing wasn't gonna run again we gave it a shot we didn't fail as a learning experience we learned that just because they're loose doesn't mean they're gonna run so if you need this thing let me know i'll put a price down in the description it's my email this thing could be yours because i'm done with it i hate to steal parts off it for another vehicle and really there's no parts that i want other than that 63 grill it's by far the best 60 to 66 grill available one year only check out my other videos hit the like button if you watch it thus far i appreciate it remember doesn't matter you get it done as long as you're having fun not fun at all she's back here in skid row with all the other garbage that won't run oh these ones run i kind of like 60 to 66's if you haven't noticed 66s then i got another 62 oh hey look another 62. that one's got four doors though weird she's a little chewy up top don't worry about that that'll buff out [Music] it's been some bodywork there one time they missed that spot [Music] you
