Love this channel. All the content is great, you explain things in a way that makes it easy to understand, even for me. I'm not a mechanic, I'm a nurse and I can understand the how, and why of what you do. Two things that really stand out about you Derek are you involve the whole family little humans and Jessica, and there's no vulgar language. That's important to me. I wonder what Faith Hill is doing tonight. 🤔

Derek and his beautiful wife and kids are what the world should be. He doesn't have to do anything more than his normal videos, but they care so much about their fans and members that they go the extra mile for them. To me this is why they are so successful in whatever they do. I only hope that the millions of viewers that watch this family spread the love of country and dedication that they have and spread it to all of their friends and family to make our country and the world a better place for all. God Bless you and your awesome family.

I bought an old Dart from a friend of mine for sixty bucks, because he changed the plug wires all at once. He couldn't get it to run no matter what he did. My best friend and I towed it home, grabbed the Chilton's and had that Leaning Tower of Power purring in ten minutes. I had learned my lesson. I always change the plug wires one at a time. Even years later, I had bought a little Toyota Hilux (Daddy to the Tacoma) and it developed a vacuum leak. Rather than chasing vacuum leaks for a year as the rest or the lines got cracked, I bought about 2o feet of vacuum hose and did the same thing. Take one off, use it to measure the new hose, install it. That little truck had so many lines I would never have gotten them all right any other way. Thanks again to you and your family for all the great content, and your dedication to America and veterans. All the best to you, always.

Advice on de-pinning harnesses like that. Buy some of the rubber plugs for the connector and put them in the holes where you removed the wire to maintain the water resistant rating. Or put some rtv in the hole. De-pinning and leaving the holes open will result in corrosion of the connector. Not sure if Holly includes the plugs but would be a nice addition to the kit if they don't.

Hey Derek, loving your videos all the way down here in Australia. I know it would be a huge expense but I'd love to see you with a dyno. With so many different projects and drive trains it would be awesome to see the before and afters for each car. Even if it was just a tune after a resurrection it'd be great to see what a few turns on the fuel makeithapenner and a twist of the old lightningwirler could do in terms of some extra horsepowerseses. Keep up the great work mate.

You would be amazed how cheap you can get a basic vintage, run-down dyno for. I see them sometimes being sold by race car teams that find them in some old barn or something that hasnt been run in decades with no care to fix it because they can afford a brand new one. They just sell them for a pittance. The technology doesnt change at all, it just gets rated with a higher top end measurement as cars and engines get faster. One from the early 90s would do a basic DIY guy just fine.

This was a promo car actually done by Buick. I remember seeing one around 1982 in Wyoming (between Worland and Tensleep??) and I remember thinking how odd it was - especially since, it had wheel covers on it instead of 'mag' or alum alloy wheels.

Awesome car! I like this old school NASCAR clone so much that I'll probably be able to open my own VGG apparel store when I'm done! 😅 My wife's gonna be so mad when she see's the credit card bill!!😬 Thanks Derek, Jessica and Bentley for this episode!

Enjoyed the vidya. Lots. To answer your question, I take all the wires off and then put them back on by lengths, starting with the closest cylinder to the cap/shortest wire, etc. It's just the way a guy has been doing it for a bunch of years.

I used a ratchet strap last time i put tank in to hold it long enough to get the straps in. Made life a ton easier. It was a full 35 gal diesel truck. Always great when a tank strap brake 5 mins after you fill your truck up.

I have been enjoying your adventures since you started your KZbin channel. Looks a quality build on this Buick. I found you entertaining as well as educational. Looking forward to seeing more of this Buick in up coming shows. Looks to be a very nice Buick as well as very possibly a fast Buick. I had a very fast 1968 Buick Grand Sport 400 Sport. It had a pretty stock 430, 4 barrel Quadra jet Carb. Some type of Camaro Differential? Rear was sitting high with duel exhaust and a 2 by 6 black painted wooden front bumper. Never lost a race in it, but the high rear end made handling a bit dicey at time's! I hope that you keep up the good work!
