I believe the US Space Pen vs Russian pencil argument was because flecks of pencil lead would break off and could damage sensitive equipment.

6:08 I heard that story and thought that it seemed silly too until my uncle who works at Lockheed Martin on Satellites explained that it made complete sense because using the graphite of a pencil was dangerous in space because if the pencil tip broke off or the dust accumulated on the instruments it was conductive and could cause a short and a fire. Fire is really dangerous in 0g and particles like that are difficult to contain.

An ordinary ball point works in space because it works on air pressure not gravity the ball drags ink out which creates low pressure at the ball end of the ink tube. The fisher space pen was as much of a marketing scam as space watches and astronaut corvettes.

Not everyone likes cars and this guy was definitely a hoarder. It was mentioned in another video that the house is a disaster. If I had to guess, the old man ran the family off if they tried to intervene and passed away doing what he enjoyed; which seems to be collecting cars and buying stuff. There is a lot of junk, but there's also a lot of stuff people will pay surprising amounts of money for. Selling it all in a reasonable time frame is the hardest part.

Re: the space pencil thing at 6:10. Apparently, both the US and Russia used to use pencils, which is a problem because the lead (which isn't lead but graphite) is conductive, and you do not want conductive particles from writing floating in the air. That's why the super expensive space pencil was developed.

You are correct. Thanks for pointing that out. Most people never actually research anything and just blindly believe some meme they read.

6:08 It was over $1m and 10 years to develop the pen that’s useable in space.

No, I’m an idiot. The MAP sensor passes through a hole in the side of the air cleaner, but that’s strictly for mounting - it gets its data from a vacuum line. So… about the only thing a flip would affect is warmup time. But I’m betting there’s a TBI out there somewhere that relies on airflow in the air cleaner, so I’m sticking with “don’t do it, kids!” 😛

This video got me in the heart. My first car was A 1991 Buick Park Ave just like the one you started up and started to smoke really bad. When I was 16 back in 2007, me and my dad revived it out of my Grandpas back yard. (Rip grandpa) I’ll never forget seeing him walk out of his house with the keys in one hand, and a fresh battery in the other. He told me, “if it fires up it’s yours” What an awesome experience it must be, every door you open has some old car waiting to be fired up behind it. I LOVE this sort of thing. Just recently I had the chance to try my luck at firing up an old 7.3 diesel that has been sitting in an old barn for a long time. (My very own revival attempt) Getting it to fire up after some small things done was finally a feeling I’ve been wanting to have again for a really long time. Getting to see you guys experience that with every one of these cars is so cool. Thanks JYD. Your keeping me smiling.

When my parents were shopping for a new car in 1992 they were pretty set on getting a Buick.

But I liked the LeSabre in the showroom better. It was green on tan like the one that had no cat. Of course it was priced a few grand higher than the 4-banger Century, but it would have been the better car for sure.

First off merry Christmas to you,Mook and the rest of the JYD crew. The Russian space pencil story. Bit of an urban legend. Pilot Pen did the R&D so the only cost to NASA was for the pens themselves. Primarily the reason for the pen over pencil is after the Apollo 1 fire several steps were taken to prevent any possible ignition sources primarily dumping the pure O2 cabin life support but in the case of the pencil concern was the graphite and graphite dust and bits from writing or sharpening coming to rest in electrical switches and components. Graphite while not all that flammable is conductive and concern was graphite bits in zero G coming to rest in an electrical connection and causing a potential fire starting electrical spark.

Lol cool I watched the camper revival and wondered why you guys didn't show the S10 started an running! I'm glad u decided to make it its own episode. Those full louvres on the rear window remind me of a time when we all wanted those (or curtains) ok Ima watch this now. Liked & subscribed!

[@miltonbayne6649]

Thanks for the early Christmas present Kevin and company! Merry Christmas to you, the Mook and the rest of the team.

I laughed my ass of when he sprayed engine degreaser in the carb🤣 well now the engine is clean inside:)

[@Notyerz7355]

Dude, I freekin love this group of videos. I have a property cleanout business so i love seeing this kind of content. I would be in my flipping glory to find a hoard of that magnitude...

[@ericnixon4225]

That's a pretty clean square body s-10,wish I still had mine,they were very dependable and easy to fix and get new and used parts for it. Congratulations to you if you're keeping the s-10.thumbs up on all of your videos.keepnup the awesome videos.

[@kbtruck65blair64]

I'll buy the S10 when you're done with it. Merry Christmas ⛄🎄 to the JYD Crew

@Junkyard Digs, the Buick Park Ave starting at 9:03 might not be a head gasket. The 3800 has a plastic upper intake and the EGR goes into that plastic intake. The heat from the EGR can warp the intake which allows coolant to leak into the intake.

[@JrGoonior]

My mom had a 96 Bonneville do exactly that. It was fixed, but several months later I had to rebuild the bottom end because of a rod knock.

[@flooredford9350]

the 3100/3400 gm v6s had a intake gasket problem as well, all the way up into the mid 00's. dexcool ate the gasket between the coolant passage and intake port and it would burn coolant like crazy. thankfully not a major pita to fix, but no fun either. im not a big gm guy, but they did a lot of neato shit in the 90s.

[@gregschaefer508]

Yeah very true/bottom ends are usually solid. Find an all aluminum intake. System and they run a long time.

[@romethagentleman5689]

I have a 89' S10 v6 4.3 L 4x4. long bed. bought it from a neighbor . still working on it, it runs great! Love these trucks.. Great video, I really enjoyed it.

[@retardedcorndog6646]

I've watched this revival at 13 times its something about s10s that are just so cool

[@antonio_fidalgo]

That guy had a serious spending problem. Had enough tools to start several shops and enough cars to start a rental company...most of them customised.

[@Scooter30FTW]

Yeah,I don't understand why they would just buy another car when one needs repair. Seems pretty wasteful.

[@antonio_fidalgo]

@@Scooter30FTW he probably loved cars and to work in cars (that's why so many tools, another weird thing, you don't need so many tools you just need to don't have them scattered around) but ended up being overwhelmed by the number and by the his age and never got around so many stuff. He had to have a small fortune in equipment and cars just lying around. Unless you are Jay Leno and can afford a giant warehouse and your own shop and staff you don't wanna have that many cars.

[@jmcahron368]

Merry Christmas, Kevin and gang. I love this series. I wish I was with you to explore all the "junk"!

[@matthewc3120]

I love all those sedans. That Park Ave, Fifth Ave, and Marquis are my faves and so rare to see anymore. I'm really digging the red Fifth Ave that's in the barn. Was hoping to see it in a video.

[@piratetaylor29]

Da amn! Perfect country Cadillac for the job. Chevy S10 in amazing condition. What a find among so many other vehicles.

[@rustybritches6747]

Merry Christmas to everybody! Kevin, Mook🐛 Mr. and Mrs. Brown, the 💩 machine, Jesse and Angus! happy holidays ♥️🙏

[@NikMitchell]

Thanks for the Christmas miracle of another JYD video! Helping us all get through the holidays~! Merry Christmas JYD Extended Family! :)

[@lilacscentedfushias1852]

I saw this video and heard the A Team music 😂 Not seen this channel before, but I was watching another if your videos. I saw this in the list under the video I was watching. So, I had to come over and share 😂 I remember when almost everyone watched it, if you went to school and hadn’t seen the episode from the weekend we’d have nothing to talk about 🤷‍♀️ What do we get now? Endless tripe! Love island, house renovation/moving & never buy rubbish, quiz shows….which is why I prefer KZbin.

[@DustyP]

How have I not seen this episode for 5 whole months?! I had my eye on that S10 since your first visit to the farm. Those 2.8L are literally bulletproof. Trust me I KNOW! 🔥🔥😎 Hope to see more of IT and the farm cars in the future!

[@davidharrell2178]

What to wish y'all a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Years, makes me feel good to see there's actually more people than a few that do what we do with these ole vehicles

[@unclerick8224]

This would make a great little shop truck. I enjoyed the entire episode. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us.

[@danieln.285]

Scrolling through KZbin and randomly saw this video. I saw my favorite truck ever on the thumbnail and had to click it. Was not disappointed. I love S10’s and I drive and maintain a slightly-more-rusty 1990 4.3L to work every day. Seeing that S10 nice and clean makes me jealous, not gonna lie, lol. The humor and demeanor y’all have, I really enjoy. Here’s a sub.

[@13JimmA]

Love this concept! That is a pristine old man truck for sure! Take it to radwood

[@evelincostea3792]

This was one of the greatest videos you've made ! Happy Holidays to you Kevin and to your family and for the rest of your subscribers! Greetings from Romania!!

[@schamblin45]

Great video guys! Only thing different, I'd have tried the brown 59 Chevy to see if it would start. That's my favorite year for Chevy. Probably, an old die hard 283 under the hood. Looking forward to the next video. Happy holidays to you and your families!

[@RamenPoweredShitFactory]

I'm in love with that S10, it looks so cool with all those 90's option parts.

[@s0UtHs1De419]

Merry Christmas to you and the gang thanks for the videos we all really appreciate what you do thanks Kevin and MOOK hecker
