Abandoned for 15 Years! 1977 Country Squire Motorhome! Will it Run?!?

hey there boys and girls YouTube world today the dub dog and I'm gonna see if we can get a 1977 Chevrolet Country Squire motorhome back on the road for the first time in 15 years oh I think it latched finally [Music] [Applause] [Music] so the story is we picked this thing up an online auction we don't know anything about it other than there was a picture inside the cab and it showed it had a small block with yellow plug wires and headers so we know it's got to be fast this thing's fast and you are special just loves the Hoover schneve mountains of it that's literally what we did all day today move snow come home from the Super Bowl our poor Eagles were one play away several times from winning it but hey my cousin had a great game I had a good time 75 degrees there it's 12 degrees here and we got I don't know how much snow the wind blew all night really packed it in I would say we probably got four to six inches of snow but it packed it in hard so Mojo and I spent the entire day moving snow Duff spent the entire day running around digging in it Hoover sniffing it look at this what are you supposed to street value of this stuff is have you any idea what the street value of this mountain is there's just mountains of it Mountain there Mountain there never mind uh the smoke signals we're sending over there one day my cell phone started smoking and the people standing around me thought I was sending a text message Mountain's there oh I didn't know the grape Concord has a moon roof but anyway we got this motorhome and we're gonna try to get running she's been off the road since November 08 so what's that 14 years and three months somebody's gonna get that CS tattoo because it's awesome we're gonna try dragging it out with Bernie because we got the whole yard cleaned out and you know I'm practicing my hooker skills I'm getting better thanks so much for everybody who commented the negativity down below it really helps me out so we're gonna get this figured out the only problem is the back of this thing sits about this far off the ground suppose we lift the front end up the back end's going to get that much closer so I don't know how it's gonna go we're just gonna wing it but shoving this thing around with the Bobcat isn't going to go well because how big it is and you can't see around it so we got a tow truck let's do it it's cold it's 12 degrees so we're gonna just hook onto this thing and carry on with our lives and get it inside the nice warm shop that sounds like a good idea you got the Hoover schneef all the way up your forehead silly dog yeah that's where we're gonna hook on the control arm and then you go around the bottom thing and then hook it to the hook and then hook the hook on the slack on the top I don't know let's do this [Music] thank you yeah you're supposed to go around that somehow anyway we're probably doing it wrong maybe we gotta go over the top and around we'll try that there we go over the top around back up slack I mean it makes sense if you don't think about it well Bernie this thing is good get yourself a record tow truck highly recommend it all right now we just lift her up I guess that DD Speed Shop he's got a video on how to do this so maybe I should go check it out it's that guy he's real intelligent all right huh and the back's probably dragging so we should have plenty of traction looks like that tire is about ready to have kittens looking at kittens where'd Duff go all right you follow me [Music] foreign needs more traction [Music] I cut the snot out of it [Music] foreign Ty had to get her stuck for the first time like we could probably let it down and drive it out and re-hook but I think I'm just gonna go get some help AKA somebody with thumbs aka the Mojo himself and we're just gonna push on the back with some big piece of equipment that we have around here I think I'll go swimmingly right Duff we're burning in daylight and my glasses are covered in snow all right back to work foreign Mojo go because he has Mojo Mojo Mojo oh yeah Bernie's got it that thing is real good is that a West Coast Choppers call it it's like a swastika for California in the back window Iron Cross that's the words I was looking for surely been discourages sometimes you just eat a Little Help from your friends what's that beeping about sometimes your friends need thumbs or to be hydraulically powered and hydrostatic and diesel engine and all that good stuff expensive that's what we got a little Walter White inside here and thought out so let's take a look a little bit closer and see just what kind of gym we got ourselves into what do you think Duff yeah it's got a chrome bumper chrome Grille I think which was an option who knows what this thing costs new we should look it up chin should look it up for us I'm guessing these things were a new pickup in 79 was like five six grand for a nice one this thing was probably like 12 15 000 bucks which is like 1.2 million in current uh dollars we interrupt your regularly scheduled mediocre Shenanigans to bring you this more excuse minute brought to you by Chico's Bail Bonds not really it's brought to you by marski repair bonus point if you know what the movie Chico's bail bond is from we got some new merchandise we got my 64 Impala Station Wagon Duff hanging out the passenger side hot off the press get yourself that link down below for the merchandise site so this week's morski minute is all about motorhomes that's right we're working on the 1977 Country Squire here so I thought I would give you a little bit of a motorhome history that I could come up with so motorhomes have been around pretty much before Motors like let's be honest it all started back in the 1800s with basically the Oregon Trail covered wagons was kind of the same thing families were moving across the country and camping they didn't have Motors they had oxen or they had horses whatever pulling their wagons that all changed with the inventation Advent of the automobile mainly the Ford Model T there was some in the early 1900s uh 1910 there was a three-ton Packard conversion that was uh some say one of the first motorhomes there was a 1915 Model T Roadster that had a telescoping apartment in the back for traveling salesman to sleep and there was a lot of other stuff in that people just created on their own back then mass-produced motorhomes probably weren't commonplace until the 1960s with the Winnebago so let's go a little bit uh deeper into RVs which is short for recreational vehicle so in the 1930s there was teardrop campers there was uh plans you could get out of like uh Motor Trend and Motor Trend Life magazine and stuff like that for building your own teardrop campers there was mass-produced teardrop campers there was Mullins trailers which was basically not really a travel trailer but you can haul your stuff for camping and then set up your tent and everything that you had inside of there with that uh and then in the 1930s Airstream also came out the old silver bullet tried and true there's a huge falling for those I'd love to find one of those those things they're awesome but they are big bucks and when would I ever find time to go camping Duff would love it well you probably wouldn't love the camping party just like enjoying the outdoors so in the 1950s Shasta was the commonplace also known as the canned ham that was kind of the style that everybody went to in the 50s you could pull them with your with your bigger cards the 1950s the 1960s is kind of when the motorhomes became commonplace don't get me wrong there was motorhomes before that like we talked about a lot of custom conversions and there was some Factory built ones out there as well but the 1960s Winnebago came out with their full-on whatever chassis they were using they use their own body to make it and they were about 5 000 bucks at the time to give you an example of how much that was my 1964 station wagon was about 34 or 3 500 I think was MSRP on that so yeah about twice the price of uh of your common vehicle or or close to that and then in the 1970s uh things kind of exploded a lot more manufacturers the ones that I liked in the 1970s uh GMC made a full fiberglass unit so they didn't leak they had several different designs they had air ride suspension in the rear tandem axle front wheel drive I think they had 455 Oldsmobile tornadoes I think that was a really classic design there's a huge following for those things as well we almost did a video on one purchase one on an auction but it went just a little bit too high we probably should have bid after it so I think those things are are super cool the 60s and the 70s also brought uh that's when the Vans kind of came in the Volkswagen buses was a huge common sight in the 1960s and the 1970s and they and they still are a huge cult following for those as well and then in the 80s was the Fleetwood which was uh commonly portrayed by Walter White and Breaking Bad uh it's not a Winnebago it is a Fleetwood so yeah those were common in the 80s and then kind of the current theme is uh the van life again has come back around you see a lot of Mercedes and Dodge sprinters are kind of the common sight that I've seen but guys are taking 1980s GM and Ford and Chrysler conversion vans and making those into uh a smaller RVs as well and so that brings us to the classes of RVs there's two there's three classes the class A the class B and the class C Class A is what I call your snowbirds up here you see them going south in November and December and then probably in April March maybe late March coming back North uh those are the ones that you you could pretty much live out of for the entire winter a lot of times you'll see them have on a hitch on the back and they're Towing their Prius down the road or or what have you but these are a lot of diesel pusher chassis there are a lot of conventional cab truck chassis like a Freightliners your Internationals your Peterbilt stuff like that so these are like the big rigs of motorhomes a lot of slide outs the full bathroom full kitchen multiple TVs uh stuff like that they can either have one big bedroom in there they can sleep you know eight ten twelve people and so you'd think class a huge Class B medium Class C Small no they're they're totally bass Acres I don't know why they come with this class B is basically your Vans like we just talked about your GMC sprinters your conversion van stuff like that so you go from the biggest down to the smallest you got your basically your big rigs and your Vans and then the middle is the class C that we got here with our 1977 Country Squire is basically a a kind of a cabin chassis or a van conversion but the dead giveaway on a Class C is that they got the sleeper or the bed right above the cab and there's usually a bunk up there so that's what designates ours as a class so you can get some class c's with slide outs and full bathrooms and stuff like that but a lot of times these have a wet bath like this one has where basically everything's in there and it's contained and it's sealed where the toilet the sink the shower is all just kind of one big fiberglass or plastic molding to get everything wet where you've got a separate shower and toilet and everything a full bath and like a Class A motorhome so there you have it that is your worthless information about motorhomes more than you ever wanted to know about motorhomes I'm sure I missed your family's favorite motorhome that they had invented in the turn of the century or or whatever the first motorhome is probably in your hometown on display there's a there's a pretty good RV and motor vehicle Hall of Fame in Elkhart Indiana a lot of motorhomes and RV campers and stuff are made in Indiana I don't know what the why they all conglomerated there but pretty much every motorhome or camper you see going down the road going to dealerships has got uh Indiana tags on it so I don't know we'll have to dig into that way while that stuff's in there so let me know what you want to see on the next morning ski minute we try to keep it uh short and we try to keep it to semi-local small stuff but maybe we Branch out into the history of motorhome stuff like that um so that's all we got for you like I said sponsored by more ski ourselves go get yourself some merch so that we can afford to keep heat in this place when it's 15 below wind chills in the middle of the February we still got a lot of winter left but anyway back to your regularly scheduled shenanigans she's been painted I don't know if that's what primer showing through and then they took some white brushed it on you know the finest the methylab got a little bit warm in South Dakota I'm on math I'm on myth I'm on math and melted the park light it's a Chevy van you can tell because the way that it is the steel techs have simulators on them a little bit different than we're used to seeing kind of like that guy never mind about that thing we'll get to it one of these days should we check out the outside then go to the inside okay deal oh more brush on paint trim's falling off it's got a satellite radio antennae satellite radio even a thing anymore I don't know a little hailed out down the side you know it's got the cottage cheese action going if you're into that kind of stuff it's got an exhaust cut out and it says the cap must be securely in place while the vehicle is in motion you can only have the cutouts going in the parking lot Duff look at that twice pipes coming out the side though yeah they cheaped out and didn't run them all the way out the back I bet this thing would bark with dual straight pipes all the way on the back it's got a it's a hybrid so it's got the charger built right in Elon Musk Style what's going on here just the vent for the heater something to do with the heating situation [Music] fender flares you know to clear these giant what are they 235 85 16 stuff are they 16 fives 816 fives dang it but at least they're not split rooms stainless gas cap again this thing must have been way too close to the meth lab it wasn't the meth lab at the time maybe it was since then but check it out Duff any meth in there he's not much of a drug dog he's not much for drugs either are you Duff yeah I don't know what was in there storage water hookup Park light melted off we stole the spare for another ramp Truck those are Corvette tail lights guarantee at C5 I think I don't know what they got going on in the receiver hitch but clearly Ray Charles welded it in there you've got the right one baby and then Ronnie Milsap ground it down was a song called let's go get stoned what a stone I'm sorry I can't read my hand right I couldn't either but that is a giant piece of tubing and then they just sleeved it I don't know what's going on they got a bolt in it so it's safe seven pin trailer connector oh yeah good stuff look at that they had her at the rally they were pedaling meth there they were growing the myth at home and then they had a fire and then they had to liquidate and then took this thing to the rally I'm pretty sure and then they sold just enough to get by another probably in prison I don't know if we dare check out the inside it's a Suburban Dayton Tennessee must be event outdoor ashtray except for it's mounted upside down oh you can plug in on the outside sweet AC yep capped off pipe plug yep awesome electrical work check uh yeah you can either plug it in over there Duff or you could plug it in right there oh 1205. a pretty new one is that the fridge or is that the AC unit I think that's the fridge I think an AC unit was supposed to be here this thing's nice oh it's in this compartment that's the propane tank I provide the people of this community with propane and propane accessories oh she's half full Duff let's try not to yeah do the sniff test see if it's leaking let's try not to blow our faces off got tires a little low just on the bottom side does have the simulator but it's facing the wrong way so it looks super silly see like I said this was their sales office for said meth lab Country Squire meth oh Duff can't wait check it out man you think you hate it now let me tell you drive it you think you hate it now but where do you drive it had to grab a light Duff so hopefully you didn't uh find all the good stuff without me smoke detector oh nope clock let me guess quit at 4 20. I can't read a clock 4 40. way off 440 in this motorhome would have been sweet some birds sacrificed its life probably to the animal that tore that foam out everywhere the old shower pooper sink tub combo you can do your lines off that mirror it comes off the wall I'm sure look at all these drawers for hiding things in that's for Access for the plumbing Duff Cliff Hoover schneief and all the turds back there that's the remnants left over from their meth growing oh the electrical in here is Top Notch we got wire nuts for gay stuff oh look at these comes oh please be romance novels Louisville more you can't go wrong with that a great novel of a magnificent Sackett family the Mojave Crossing yeah yeah I know it's the Mojave this book belongs to Francis M Tucker in Sioux City Iowa he's probably in prison by now he's all about the Louis Lamour night over Solomon's the only authorized edition first time paperback I think Louis lamour's from North Dakota isn't he how would I know long arm in hard rock country Tabor Evans never heard of him he's probably pretty good though here's another Louis Lamour The Skyliners they stole this from Francis M Tucker as well all kinds of stories about the second family Bob Sackett didn't he just die yeah I know it's Bob Saget what is that holder for your knives oh look at this brand new pizza cutter all this stuff's brand new dog and all you can do is suck farts out of the couch come on take this all in Floral Pattern plates What A Deal a radio flashlight like there's nothing I want to do more than walk around outside in the dark looking for night crawlers and listen to some fishing in the dark maybe some Joe Diffie or some squirrely Dam oh Steely Dan whatever oh these are you remember these things these are like the the paper plate boosters for back in the day you know how do you class up a paper plate well you take a piece of hay and you make it into a plate and then you put it underneath your paper plate oh they're classy they remind me of uh what are the Triscuits is that what those things are you just kind of want to take a bite of one I'm not putting that anywhere close to my mouth use for cooking meth says it right there have you sucked all the farts out of there yet oh God anything good in here that's where he's living Duff he's gonna be in here nope he's not no apple pie definitely a mouse Nest though close that up electrical control center fuses maybe oh yeah Breakers breaker breaker one nine [Music] Plumbing I'm guessing water heater oh she's capped off we weren't using that see they weren't living in this thing at the end they were just clearly using it to sell meth yep there's the anhydrous bottle that they make the meth with right there um oh come on be some Budweisers nope no Budweisers wow I'm no Carpenter but look at this wood hackery you know Phillips Torx treated clearly not treated and used oh yeah they did her all upright in the Old Country Square if this thing could talk oh my gosh I'm sure some unsuspecting person lost their virginity in this thing unfortunately yep there's the tin foil that's what they smoke the meth out of all right let's go up front check her out any uh more farts down there come on carry on pal there's even seat belts because just what you want to do is be seat belted in backwards onto a piece of foam and particle board oh gross you can see all the hair from the raccoons that were up here oh and uh that was the last known inhabitant right there he's no longer with us all right let's see what we got going on here hey here's our other simulator what a deal she is a 350 and then it says 350 right there Juna 77 so this is probably a 77. maybe she's a 78 model so I don't get it there's that factory here and then there's this chrome one here I don't know what they had going on here Olive the air coolers I think I'm guessing they cut this open and they were trickling gas and they're trying to get her to run let's take a seat oh yeah oh that ain't what I wanted there it is there's the riser for the carburetor it's got the road gear the finest from Alco oh cruise control score to Concha brake controller flipping sweet no keys good news is we know how to bust ignition switches out of Vans we won't bust this one we'll just unplug it from the back side like we should have probably done in the first place on the last one tilt column yeah you can see it's add-on Cruise tilt column column shift and the ignition switch is on the dash that's a pretty desirable column I think that same column is a 67 to 72 Chevy pickup with some slight differences you could put it in the pickup nobody ever know there might be something on the length and then maybe the electrical connector but that column used to be good property before they reproduce them I mean it still probably is a good property what are you eating back there hey those aren't chicken bones that was the guy who died upstairs or the guy who died down here I don't know whatever all right so I'm guessing that should be a turbo 400. I don't know how you would know other than crawling underneath there it's got headers so you know hauling meth you want to go as fast as you can HEI cap has been busted yellow plug wires real fast they're high temp super stock radial suppression they're not excels or anything so maybe not as fast as I was hoping quadrabog but what up oh hit the high note there I don't know what was mounted to that bracket it's got the giant is that a York compressor oh look at that it's been replaced January 1992. ah so looking back on the last one of these that we had we had a lot of fun jumping it it's not really motorhome jumping season we just got a bunch more snow so we would have to jump a snow pile and I don't think this thing would jump but I think it would plow right into it but uh we did save the propane tank and gave it to our buddy that put it underneath a propane converted pickup and you save the compressor bracket and stuff like that but this thing would make a sweet service rig oh that one had a generator I bet that's what was over there the generator is missing could I have the generator or on your electrical stuff you could use the compressor under the hood to run all your air tools and stuff like that or airbags if you wanted and then you could use that propane tank for air in the back as well for like air reserves these things are pretty much set up for uh making service trucks out of so I wish I'd have saved the generator which I sold in the propane tank which we got another one that we'll probably never use so all right maybe we should put some bags in the back of this thing we got the compressor we got the tank give me some Heavy Hauling in the Old Country Squire I guess let's go outside and open the hood and get a battery in this thing oh yeah Scotch Clips giant insulated butt connectors I'm sure nothing can be wrong throttle's free a dipstick look at this dipstick this thing's like four and a half miles long goes all the way up there same with the engine dipstick wherever that's at oh yeah over here we'll go check all that stuff up there hopefully it had coolant and oil and all that good stuff in it the problem with these motorhomes is that people would just drag them out in the spring pump up the tires and run them they never checked anything they never maintained anything they didn't get a ton of Miles usually these things got overworked ran into the ground overheated they thought you know it's 180 horsepower 350 was going to pull this thing in a boat through the Scout the whole pass but let's be honest it's barely ample enough on flat ground not towing anything speaking of not getting many miles look at this stuff 59 000 original miles some people put that many miles on their late models in a year now you uh don't chewing on that bone in there Dove you want to open this Hood he's busy I guess I'll just do it myself foreign so 146 inch wheelbase originally Soft Red tinted glass 350 V8 custom steering wheel bright metal wheels 8 by 16 5 solid paint special interior trim Buckskin cloth 410 rear Turbo hydramatic Comfort tilt steering yeah 16 5 by 6 spare 16 5 by 8 tubeless so the spare was a different size I don't get it RV option package special exterior trim and she is polar White it's a 77 model June 14th happy birthday if that was your birthday I got the wiring on these things oh spray foam oh it's got Hydro Boost too freaking sweet more scotch clips what is with oh those aren't even Scotch Clips I don't know what those are what's with trailer and RV manufacturers and their Scotch clips terrible idea are you eating hubcaps in there now or what oh you missed a chicken bone there don't worry it's gone now if I didn't tell you that door flopped the whole way home in the Wind was it about 100 miles enough oh you weren't with what the Electoral solenoids for side posts cables there top post cables there who knows what's going on there come on now well good news is there's coolant and it's green but it's also overflowing so we're just gonna button that back up sure it's fine hopefully it's not because it's frozen in there but it shouldn't be trans engine oil stuff you want to check the end of that stick for me all right oh yeah it's nice and clear and pretty much where it needs to be maybe a quarter low good enough for the girls we go with all right I guess let's slip the dipstick back in and seal our battery sponsor this week is fire this baby up now oh come here you got the feather of the Dead bird on your nose you silly goose is that good that bologna ate in there was that delicious some poor animal gave its life so that you could chew on its thigh bone all right I'm getting a battery well Pete at Johnny's Bar and Grill in Hollister California go check those guys out if you're in the area I think they got a website too I don't remember them out thank you for being a battery sponsor this week Mr Pete oh get in there don't you know where your home is are you too good for your home good old side let's hook up the positive first I need a little positivity in our life how stripped out are these oh definitely stripped out because why wouldn't they be thank you carefully grab me Outer Perimeter of this bolt so that we don't strip it out even more perimeter diameter either way tomato tomato I'm guessing the top full stuff was for the generator in the back that's no longer with us crackheads stole that or the old money to somebody who knows now I'd say we go hit the key but we don't have keys so I guess we disconnect an ignition switch and then figure out the jumper wire situation no smoke so that's good we don't want to let the smoke out of Pete here and be a bad day are you back in here again you really love the stinky nasty Country Squire don't you oh look at that the dope light works that's pretty neat that's pretty neat all right I think we're just going to take this brake controller off and get her out of the way there you put that in our new topic go check that out 19 well 19 2003. Chevrolet Suburban with the 8.1 liter in it oh yeah all right this was the wrong wrench for the application [Music] oh it looks like frigid King is who made the AC kit for this thing you know in all the vehicles we've had I don't know that we've tested a cigarette lighter to this day maybe we'll have to start doing that testing the cigarette lighters in all of them where's the Cadillac what do you say is it the new Blues mobile or what fix the cigarette lighter well she popped out oh look at that remember when cars used to come with these kids that was a greater time that 8.1 liter Suburban is on the second Channel more and more ski repair there's all kinds of other shenanigan videos on there also you can follow us on Instagram more security repair follow us on Facebook we got a page more security repair that's where to find all these sweet cars like this thing for sale once we're done you know and let's be honest that we were done with it before we bought it and we were done with it before this video came out what else we got we got the patreon account we got you name it it's all there we don't do the Twitter we don't know anything about tweeting okay come on now how did this work flat screwdriver okay attempted to break that Dash but I won't just there's no room under there oh yeah that's tight squeeze shouldn't have that double cheeseburger in the Super Bowl busting up that Dash is looking pretty tempting right now got it stealing cars in the 70s is way easier allegedly I don't know I wasn't alive though comment down below what kind of car you had stolen I've never had a car stolen nor have I stolen one borrowed okay I think pink is crank no purple is crank pink is ignition and red is constant power I'm gonna go get us a jumper wire and see all right red and if we go to our purple and we touch these two together we should get the engine turn it over here goes nothing so let's put it in park we're gonna get run over one of these days foreshadowing sound a little growly off the bat I can't imagine those last crackheads that we're trying to steal this thing or get it running did that start any favors oh sounds way more gooder now and then if we I'm gonna go strip this off if we hook that to the pink we should get power to the ignition I take a plug wire off here oh still got the Delco one of the r44s CR 44s and we're gonna hook this guy up to here Let's test for spark because we don't have an external coil test them like we usually do and then we're going to clamp that to the valve cover hold down bracket you guys keep an eye on that see if we got any sparkage so I'm good okay twist the red and the pink oh something's going boiling under the dash there we go easy peasy small black Chevys they love it so I think we just need gas we should probably oh no cat Fuel and when does this thing run last Bush Administration okay I'm gonna make a new jumper wire this thing doesn't have a big enough Spade on the end of it and then we're gonna go from there oh let's go cut that fuel line before I forget I must have a lot of people who pay attention to presidential 2008 what was that that was like a break here that was a that was an election year so between W and Obama right Obama was like 8 to 16 16 to 20 was I don't know here's GW that's what we're sticking with I don't know all right fuel line I was gonna show you cutting it but there are really nothing to show I'm gonna have to go up Underneath Him snipper off give her the old reach around takes five quarts in case you were wondering I always like when guys do that my dad's bigger than that even writes the socket size and who knows what else the part number the filter the weight of the oil all that good stuff oh yeah let's fill the float bowl with some hot sauce then maybe just spill a little on the intake maybe we'll just leave that sit there and that'll fill it as we keep it running or it'll start on fire and light off like a molt-off cocktail [Music] blue blue oh we gotta twist the red to the pink and then we get something to go buoying under the dash and then we touch these two together slingshot engage slingshot engaged so easy small block Chevys Quadra bogs HEI God's gift to mechanics thank you don't you don't want that backfire to take place spew all over here water bottle of petroleum based ignition Source all right let's do this oh come on for cheese and rice [Music] all right seems like she runs good enough I'm gonna hook up a boat tank and then we're gonna go from there we got our infamous boat tank hooked up up here the thing will only run when we got the electric pump running so we got a bad fuel pump this thing's got the three line fuel pump you got one going up the carburetor one coming from the tank and then a return going to the tank you got to plug that return off otherwise it'll pump all your fuel on your boat tank in your other tank I've never done them before but other people have I like to run the two line stuff I think that's pre-emissioned it's not to do with the mission so since this thing started so easy I think that's what I'm gonna do is see if I can't find a fuel pump and we'll stab it on there and we don't have to run this quickity clacker sounds like a good idea though yeah well yes it does run pretty good the float was sticking so we gave her a couple of tap tap taparus with a hammer no more sticky stick now we just need a pumpy pump all right I'm gonna go see what I can find and that thing's gonna probably be really miserable to swap out have to go underneath but we'll get her done all right boys and girls today's lesson is on fuel pumps this is our stock 1977 smog here a fuel pump from the small block Chevrolet V8 engine there's your outlet with a threaded line steel line going up to your carburetor there's your 3 8 Inlet that is from the tank and there's your quarter inch return line going back to the tank there's several variations in small black Chevrolet water pump and fuel pump we're talking fuel pumps here but they all pretty much interchange this is the one I like to go to if you need one of these with a two line versus a three line don't get one for a 1970 Camaro seems like a pretty generic works pretty good plus the parts person will be real impressed that you got yourself a 1970 Chevrolet RS Camaro with a 350. tell me I got four speed too if you really want to just wake it up this is a Spectra premium SP 1000 MP mechanical fuel pump can somebody tell me why they come with two gaskets every fuel pump I bought for the last I don't know how many years five ten years comes with two gaskets like they think I'm gonna screw it up I think you can use one to shim it I don't know anyway this is a pretty generic pump works pretty good for most applications some of the earlier ones had a deeper sump to them or they had pipe Inlet and you had to put an adapter fitting and stuff like that but 70 Camaro that's what you want make sure you take the rubber off there speaking of rubbers rubbers are always giving us problems there's a couple of weed poles here and there's a diaphragm in there this lever pushes that diaphragm up and down and that's what pushes the fuel up these don't actually suck well this one sucks but not in a good way but it that diaphragm goes up and down and it pushes the fuel up that's why your fuel pump is usually the lowest spot on your engine or one of the lowest spots leave your fuel tank sits above it gravity feeds to here and then it pushes it up to to the carburetor these two bolts attach it speaking of those two bolts they're this guy right here these are a 3 8 bolt I don't know inch and a half long instead of your standard 3 8 ball with a 9 16 head these have a 7 16 set I don't know why they did that for clearance issues obviously I don't know what the clearance issue is though clearance clearance we have clearance clearance Roger Roger what's our Vector Victor but it irritates me when people put a regular 3 8 bolt in there go get the right bolts put in there oh back to this that diaphragm rots out because you know rubbers that's what gives us problems over these years it dries out and then it no longer goes pumpy pump and then it leaks out that weep hole then you got issues so let's go put this up there this runs off the camshaft oh it's got a cam it runs off the camshaft there's a push rod that goes down hits this lever arm yeah it's kind of a pain to get that push rod pushed up and then you got to slip this under and then get your bolts in there especially when you're hanging upside down underneath the engine bay or underneath in this particular scenario but there you go that's uh your worthless information on fuel pumps don't use the factory one if you got one of these unless you live in California you got to pass smog emissions just delete all that get yourself one off a 70 Camaro use the right bolts throw this spare gasket on the Shelf look at that look at this just look at it there's one up there already we'll just file that away under CS I found out under uh CS over there CS what's that stand for all right let's slam this son of a biscuit on there so we don't have to listen to that clicky clack and be stuck on the side of the road on our Black Hills family vacation with that thing what do you say Duff I miss anything of course not and if you're working on one of these or you are using one of these or getting one of these running off a boat tank that's the one you gotta plug otherwise you're gonna have a bad day and you're going to have a full tank or a leak or maybe even both oh another tech tip I'm gonna have a silly cone on the back of this sort s to your pump and doesn't slide around and you can't line up the bolt holes there you go back to work fuel pump is on what a miserable SOB that is doing it from the bottom side ended up there's a bolt that you can take out of the block and then you can put a longer one in there to hold the push rod in place to hold it up so it doesn't slide down I've never once done that before I had to do it on this one because I just couldn't get my hand in there and then of course the orientation of the replacement fuel pump was different than the original one so I ended up running a rubber line which I hate to do but I didn't want to cobble up the nice steel line that was on here because nobody's yet replaced it with a chunk of rubber or put an inline filter in it so it is what it is but we got that in there and now guess what this freaking thing will not crinkle I want to talk about how easy small block Chevys are we get the one that's 90. so now it'll start watch this little crank over you can hear something clicking up there I don't know what it is I jiggled the shifter it's not that I jiggle the connections on the battery that's not that either so I don't know what we're gonna do keep checking the connections maybe we got a bad battery we've done Dumber things right all right we are gonna go try to do a test drive she can help me determine that I had the wire slid in the wrong socket I had hooked up to the brown wire so the purple wire so we got our starter debacle all figured out don't we know I don't know that the golf cam is going to show much because Duff doesn't like these van engines just hanging out right here and you know there's all that space to run around in the back of the van so we shall see hold on man sure does run good though we got Brakes in the transmission brakes kind of feel like brakes [Music] oh GM steering wheel goodness [Music] something's dragon step I don't know it doesn't sound structural Cortez ripping what a dragon 92 point turn front tires just slide on the ice maybe we should let it warm up on now there's something definitely dragging over there what are these steering wheels made of that they get so gooey it's really bad in like August but I don't know I don't know February what's cooking thank you so many things knocking out down there just checking her house remember the other game doesn't work oh goldfish is working we're charging it's definitely not a Russian rotational or the drivetrains we don't care about that we need a bigger yard for a motorhome building accelerate all right though one door's falling open door came closed oh maybe a donut oh the sunken over there is the tread on the tire and they're wet the tired I think there goes the second Tire [Music] sorry dog the dog house fell on the oh we're gonna do a brakes down no we also definitely just slide burnout though oh yeah thank you unfortunately I think our first calipers locked up let's go check out see what's Dragon does let's go see what's dragging oh I didn't even diesel loves it well our third thud oh it took our mud flap out I think this guy is doing the old Flappy Flap about ready to have kittens but what is Dragon oh Daisy what are you doing I think it's I think it's this guy down here making all the noise we don't need that where we're going fixed it maybe not there you go it's just a curb feeler now oh dang it they was Chevrolet mud flaps too you can barely read it look at all that hot rubber it's just dropping off the side of Country Squire oh yeah that was a real good burnout I think it's melted her I was worried that the front calipers are locked up because it wouldn't come out of that hole oh yeah this thing's good I tell you what all you got to do to your motor in my home is just put a moon tank on the front adds like 75 horsepower it's not so good for the weight transfer though can't pull wheelies anymore oh yeah Fire's right up runs like a champ this thing's ready to go to Yosemite it is President's Day when this video comes out maybe we should run her to the Black Hills you gotta work on President's Day where do you uh work for the government so you get it off see if she'll do one more burnout we've got chin catching the footage from the outside he's doubling down as both uh video man and editing man today here we go [Applause] [Music] thank you [Music] hydraulic get yourself hey better yet buy this one be a great donor or take a chance if you dare foreign [Music] see if we can't come around this corner and get her slide sideways oh yeah we're definitely doing that [Music] oh yeah bring it around [Music] [Music] that proximity [Music] [Music] yo 350's chooching a little bit he's got a little more bye [Music] all right all right before we blow that tire out or do any more damage to this thing shut her down and wrap this up if we have any more fun we'll definitely record it all right guaranteed this thing diesels know she's got to be warm oh no shuts right off she's good just put some headers and some yellow plug wires on your motor Muhammad you can do motorhome drifting things that's which we should have a motorhome drift circuit let's bring it back let's start it I mean Country Squire pretty much the best motorhome money can buy best several hundreds of dollars I spent okay maybe not oh man Duff's really getting deep in the old Hoover schneve today oh yeah oh yeah oh outrageous I think I froze the left half of my brain I should probably go watch that whole movie sometime all right there you have we took a 1977 Chevrolet Country Squire motor mahom that we got on an online auction Daisy Duff chin and I got it going and we did some Shenanigans around you what are you doing you crackpots you guys don't have any fun when you get together do you think sneaky you underestimated my sneakiness I fear you're underestimating the sneakiness sir so thank you very much for watching go check out that new merchandise we got with the 64 Impala Station Wagon of mine and hopefully we'll get that car back on the channel and get some miles on it this summer uh leave a comment down below with what you think we should do with this the only thing I can really think of is to use the drivetrain rear end front end stuff as donor you know we got the propane tank we got the air compressor it's got that really awesome till column with low ignition switch Yeah Duff says it's awesome or if you want to own this thing price and availability in the description down below hit us up more scooper gmail.com if you really want to own it no we will not deliver and no we will not sell parts more disassemble for you Daisy remember it doesn't matter how you get it done so long as you're having fun motorhomes always fun yeah we were gonna do like wheelies with it but Finnegan did that so we already ripped one apart Shin says the tire came off the ground we're gonna have to go to instant replay so yeah motorhomes get yourself one better yet buy this one all right on to the next one what do you think Daisy you need a motorhome in your yard [Music] foreign [Music] thank you [Music] thank you [Music] now we gotta find somewhere to park this thing for the winter well you can kind of see out the back yeah that tire definitely isn't turret just like chin said oh dang it oh boy [Music] well I guess that's where it's gonna sit oh still spinning the old Tire Dragon doesn't really help
