My grandfather just passed away randy he raised me and taught me everything I know about life and working on cars.

[@jesterr7133]

Lesson #1 when it comes to working on cars: Something will always go wrong,lol. Anyway, I love working on cars. I really enjoy it. I can't really think of a much more pleasurable activity, especially when it gets fixed in the end, and you're saving one that has been neglected for a long time.

It's weird having the world behind us. Christmas day was yesterday. Happy boxing day, from New Zealand

[@cheezyrider1111]

Lol Boxing Day

[@tenmillionvolts]

@@cheezyrider1111 Yep. Day after Christmas day when unwanted gifts were traditionally boxed up and given to the poor. Now it's the 27th, so no special day today

[@howardkoster4026]

Randy, Weird Beard is going through every inch of that Coronet! It will be better then new when he's done with it! He's quite the craftsman that Weird Beard is for sure! He pays attention to details and quality!!!

[@jacobcarrillo933]

Wow.....what a difference from part 1... Congratulations....nice car! ! And your digital Gauges Work...freaking amazing!!

[@samhammett2994]

Love how when you're working on the car that you're explaining your thought process, sounds exactly like me when I'm working on vehicles, chuckled when you said "oh wow that's going... nope I'm not saying it because as soon as you do, it goes bad" I live by these words

[@voicetube]

Thumbs up for your attitude… Thumbs up for your work on the car… Thumbs up for your humor and thumbs up for your sweater… Darn… Now my mouse is broken!!

[@NH-gb5dk]

Look online for the steps you have to do to set idle . You have to unplug the idle control valve , then set the idle at 800 rpm with the screw on the throttle body , then plug icv back in and set throttel position seensor to .5volts . I had same problem with my 88 corvette . Googlehow to set idle on 85 corvette and click on Willcox corvette instructions , i think it is 11 steps that you have to do in exact order ....

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

I got it! Printed the instructions out. Thank you.

[@blairthomasfisher9948]

[@michaelhuey4187]

Rannnnnndy, AARing the Swamp Vette! Thank you, man, for bringing us along on this ride. As I told a couple other KZbinrs today, thank you young man for taking the time and making the effort to bring back to life something that many others would simply scrap. Many of us are glad we can contribute in any way to let you keep doing this. Always stay true to your roots and stay safe, you and yours, during this pandemic.

[@fasteddy917]

Randy, Thank you for the endless hours you spend making these videos and to everyone who helps you. An extra special Thank You to Jessica and Nick who unselfishly share you with all of us through the hours you spend in the garage. Merry Christmas to all.

That silver with red interior looks so good

[@timpeterson79]

The injecter clips can simply be squeezed and removed with the connector. Great work on this car!

[@gifted2at94]

Such a satisfying series I know I'm late to the party but this content is always going to draw a crowd! Randy has earned his stripes in this series! Randy is a skilled Mechanic if anyone doubted it watch these videos and if you don't come to the same conclusion your are a hater and need to get real! Impressive

[@synthpro]

Really have enjoyed your series on the swamp vette, know how much fun these cars can be. I replaced all my interior including seat skins in my 85 corvette with reproduction parts and what a proud accomplishment that was, (could have sold tickets for people to watch me install the new seat covers, lol) I actually daily drove a 84 corvette, (Crossfire injection) all the way through high school, college, and then my first few years of work, it was a very reliable car but was butchered before I got it and I wasn't a fan of the gas odors at interstate speeds coming from the breather. I ended up buying a 85 corvette and daily drove it for about 4 years but had to get something I could haul stuff around in. I still have my 85 vette and it's a lot of fun, if you think the 85 corvette rides rough, you really need to drive a 84 corvette...it had even tighter suspension than the 85. That tune port injection does make the car have slightly better acceleration and smoother idle over the crossfire injection. I'm currently running a hypertech chip in my vette and like how the overdrive engages a bit earlier, (around 36mph) Since these cars have manual overdrive (700R4) it's no problem to shift to overdrive off in slower traffic. This chip also keeps the engine cooler..the fan from factory would turn on around 240°F and with the chip it turns on around 208°F really makes a difference. You should also look into relocating the air temp sensor, it naturally gets hot right above the intake and causes power loss and if you have to sit in traffic, it can cause unstable idle I have found out.

[@Bikes4763]

You should keep that beauty Hi from Slovenia

[@GiovannyCapone]

You can take the EGR, the air blower fan, shock absorbers (if they are in good condition), wheels and brake calipers, from your donor car. I'm just saying.. I truly enjoyed those Corvette videos. Please keep them coming!

[@jessicaripley5654]

Thanks for the upload man. And I LOVE the LONG videos so thank you. Anyone else LIKE the longer videos

[@robertbryant7771]

Little late coming back to check on this car but glad to see you took the time to get it taken care of. Hope you got that EGR taken care of. Great selection on the injectors. I run M-9593-BB302 30# in my 94 formula. I absolutely love the way Ford takes the time to test and publish the specs on every injector Bosch makes for them. With that data you can get incredibly precise characterization for voltage offset and low pulse width adders. Both OBDI in TunerPro RT, TunerCats and OBDII in HPTuners, Haltech, etc. Like within 13-14 millionths of a second per pulse width maximum error with most data points less than 4 millionths.

Thank You for the video. I worked Christmas as well. I was able to watch this at work. I want to do this exact thing, bring c4 vette back to life. Merry Christmas!

[@ryanmacewen511]

Besides notes or pictures, a good way to make sense of the intake plenum bolts is to lay our the parts, and place all the bolts in the holes. They should all have about the same threads protruding on the inside surfaces. BTW need to move the mounting stud for the cables.

[@scottsevil]

Nice job Randy , you always get the job done.

You are living the embodiment of every mans dreams ! Sitting in bay # 1 Ford Mustang GT & sitting in bay # 2 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray ! You have come along way my man ! Nothing but the best to you & yours in the New Years !

[@TkacikYero]

Great video. Thanks for putting in all the work so we could watch.

[@thejeepdoctor]

Randy, you were saying EGR valve was bad because it wasn’t holding vacuum. Some EGR valves have a small port in them. This allows fluctuations in the operation of EGR. That way it’s not just on or off. Helps prevent surging.

[@hernandopizarro755]

Great video. I started watching when Swampvette arrived. So I'm glad to see another Swampvette video show up. Looking forward to further progress with the car.

[@soufianeradwane3517]

You're doing a fantastic job with SwampVette, Randy! I know the excitement of wanting to get something working and you work until the wee hours of the morning to accomplish it. I'm a bit sad to hear it going to auction after all the hard work you put into it but hopefully someone else can love and enjoy it! Merry Christmas!!

[@themediumbydesign5232]

Excellent video. Amazed at your ability to pull all that apart and get it going in one run. Thanks for clarifying the agreement with wierd beard on the coronet. Found both you guys on KZbin last summer when you first got the coronet. He is doing the most detailed paint job I've ever seen. Beautiful work and patient teacher he is. BTW, after finding you guys, Vice Grip Garage and Joernone, I purchased a 1966 Beledere and started my own project after be out of the classic car arena 17 years. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@olddog3728]

To help you with the idle: idle air control valve should be adjustable, throttle position sensor is adjustable with a volt meter located on passenger side, it'll probably help to spray the maf sensor with maf cleaner spray. I'm working with a troubled 87 c4, totally understand your frustration. Have fun with it.
