Your strength is getting the most out of rescues without throwing parts at them. This is useful for those of us that don't want to spend a lot to work on our cars. Good work and thank you.

[@manuelkipke5712]

I don't agree. All he did was nothing but kludge. The breaks, are still bad, the injectors probably still needs to replaced, and the converter surely was originally built in for no reason - sorry, this has nothing to do with a decent repair. This is something you do to make it somehow to the next garage. The Camaro is a nice and iconic car and doesn't seem to be in an irreparable state but it need some time and money to come back to life. In the current state, the car is not roadworthy.

[@kman-mi7su]

When I saw that Camaro in the previous video, I was like, "He's got to come back for that Camaro even if he doesn't get it, at least do a will it start". Thanks for doing the Camaro video Chris, I remember when they were new, my next-door neighbor had an 87 Trans Am convertible back then. Brings back memories.

[@caseyn720]

My man. Glad to hear your baby girl is doing good. Aside from the reflux. No sleep is pretty normal. My son is 3 months. I’m still not used to waking up through the night. And he’s my 2nd kid. But the love you will feel for that child is something most people can’t even begin to describe. It’s a true blessing. I know you and Jen will be awesome parents.

You are absolutely correct, the IROC-Z has aged so well. Great find and sweet work on getting her to run again.

[@BobWiersema]

As someone who grew up driving a first gen Firebird I would say it's not so much that it aged well but more like a wine that needed to be properly aged before it could be truly appreciated.

Been a mechanic all my life by far dude you are one of the smartest dudes I've ever seen. So not trying to tell you what to do..but my thoughts on the air boat carb I noticed the choke plate is missing I think you need that resistance to make them open. Hope this helps. Great channel dude.

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Appreciate the kind words. And thank you for do your thoughts on it. It's possible

[@BartSarton]

So the secondaries only open when the engine is cold and the choke plate is in the way? And then when the engine is warm and the choke is open, the secondaries won't open?

I know this is corny but NNKH is the example of what America is from when it was all DIY and homebred ingenuity and also the way this guy respects people with sincere friendliness.

Cheers man, love the videos and love learning all the tips and tricks. Its amazing what you can make work when all the odds are stacked against you. Keep the videos coming!

[@JasonMcCord-qk3yb]

Sweet! As a collector of these cars, I would implore you (and anyone who bought the car) not to cut the floor to get to the fuel pump. There are many reasons why, and I won’t go into all of them here, except that, even after cutting the floor, you will still have to cut the hard lines that are part of the sending unit, in order to get the sender out of the tank, and there are 4 of them. Yes, dropping the tank can be a pain on these cars. It’s still worth it

[@LukesJukes]

I’ve got it down to about 4 hours drop and replace now after doing it twice while on the ground lifted as high as I can on jack stands. A lift would make that job a piece of cake.

[@thecommodoredecker]

A previous owner did that to my formula. I was pissed when i saw that. Eventually im going to drop it proper and replace the sender since its been cut and hacked with rubber hose

[@gslse1308]

This is soo awesome... I rescued my dads 87' firebird a few year's back. Sat in his shed for 27 year's

This might sound odd, but back in our off road days you would just pour water over the alternator as the engine was running. It would help clean out the brushes. Tricks you learn on the trails....

[@eightbll1017]

Yeah. Hard to find any 3rd gen with a decent dash period.

[@tonyhanneman3976]

If your throttle ever sticks like that, just turn the key off. I had a 74 Torino when I was 16 and had the throttle linkage of the carb get caught on the air filter when I floored it showing off to friends. Tried slapping the gas peddle a few times and then just turned the key off. I rode a lot of 4 wheelers and dirt bikes with kill switches so that was kindof helped to make my first instinct to kill the ignition.

[@johnhrynyk8521]

I am 76 now but in my 20s we would put a screw in the Holley linkage slot so the primaries would drag the secondaries open. doing so would at least let you see if opening all 4bbls helps or hurts performance.

[@damarapoledna3636]

I'm very familiar with the ubiquitous 3rd gen as back in 1990 I purchased an '84 that had been involved in a front end collision that had pretty much trashed the entire front end and sub frame for $500. I proceeded to rebuild it better stronger faster. Spliced in new front sub frame and hung new fenders and louvered hood on it. Added rear window louvers, IROC frt/rr bumper covers and side skirts, IROC badging and IROC wheels. Factory suspension goodies such as: 36mm hollow front stabilizer bar, front sub frame brace(wonder bar). Quick ratio steering sector(z575). Factory PBR rear disc's, 3:23 posi and the icing on the cake, an '85 TPI 305 I built to '92 spec with a built 700r4. Loved that car.

[@455Olds]

I watch VGG and found your channel...I really enjoy channels that are completely done by the individual. No camera people and nobody helping you. That's the real world and love it

[@christopherconner9014]

I would check manifold vacuum first, and it sounds like the prop is putting a load on the engine before it gets “on the cam” so it can’t make enough vacuum to open the secondaries.

[@damarapoledna3636]

Lol

[@robertmccool1543]

​@@damarapoledna3636 I was thinking it's a load sensitive thing with the secondaries not opening.

[@OcRefrig]

Yea, i agree. Seems like a bit Too much Prop. Needs more revs then secondarys will open. Carb is a Little big though for a stock motor & stock intake. options --- 1) Decrease the Pitch on the Prop or 2) Put a High Rise intake on it & that may get u the intake air speed to open the secondary's. 3) Change the carb to a Quadra jet - i think this is best option.

[@karlkoenigstein4138]

@@OcRefrig I think you’re correct. 3000 rpm, even on a big Cadillac, is probably just getting to the point where the secondaries would need to open (I.e. primaries alone are enough at that RPM). I think I heard the engine bogging when Chris opened the secondary blades manually, an indication that the engine doesn’t really need them yet. I think a Q-jet or a vacuum secondary spread-bore Holley would probably work better with the current setup. Also agree that a deeper pitched prop (like more rear gear) would allow the engine to rev a bit higher and might result in more overall top speed. The counter point is that Cadillacs are torquey and like to grunt against the gears, so maybe the setup is actually not so far from ideal….

[@kuehjo]

Chris - you and Craig (and Dan!) at The Bearded Mechanic are my two most favorite KZbin guys. You are NOT AFRAID to get dirty. You don't accept no for an answer.

Your story about slamming it in reverse at speed reminded me: Years ago I was driving an 18ft cab over type box truck down a country road at about 55mph, my 2 coworkers next to me were just out of high school and would get anxious on long trips and start being annoying. The guy in the middle would get up and turn around in the cab kind of dancing or antsy spaz. That day he decided to do just that and knocked the shifter into reverse at 55mph, fastest deceleration of my life into an Instant stop almost featuring huge blue cloud of rubber smoke (and probable transmission fluid) along with a sound I cannot describe like a screaming machinery banshee and burnout sound. I looked over at that kid and said "If this truck doesn't go into drive and shift all the gears, you're calling the owner of the company (who was a real hothead) Anyway, excellent videos-I never miss them

[@athuldev5307]

Did it go into drive and shift fine after that?

[@ProlificInvention]

@@athuldev5307 ​ Ha! Glad you asked: We got out in the middle of this 2 lane road and examined the engine and trans area real quickly and only noted a fine mist of trans fluid which was bizarre, got back in quickly as I was blocking a lane on a 55mph road (albeit seldom travelled) Threw it into drive and away we went, everything seeming good and all gears. The followup though: a couple weeks later that trans catastrophically failed in epic fashion on the highway. That kid was my buddy and a hard as worker on a tough job so I never told the owner, and that truck was never right after that either as I dropped 7 more transmissions over the next few more years I drove it.

My favorite car of all the ones you’ve done. And I learned a new term: rust jacking.

My dad had a 87-89 Camaro when I was a kid and I have always loved them for that reason. Have always wanted to have one someday

My youth. Brings back some memories. I worked on So many IROC camaros.

I have been anticipating this for a few weeks! Thank Chris! Hope you and the family are doing well. Get some sleep 😴

Wow! Auto mechanics, I couldn't do it. But yet, I watch it on KZbin. There's so much stuff to remember, so many things going on. I like this channel and Budget Builds. Thanks for your mild manners, and for this show. Oh! I like your dog, too!

Another fabulous video, looks not too bad at all. Even so generous to help a fellow tuber with theirs. You’re a great human Chris. I really like the matte paint finish to the paint ! Need the Gus man!

Congratulations on the new family Chris, and thank you for posting new content!

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Thanks man and appreciate you tuning into the videos

Chris that tire fire trick was cool AF

[@Chevyman02]

That's an old trick that used to be used on trucks & tractor tires often. It's not used these days, except for instances like this. It's considered as too dangerous in today's "woke" world!

Reflux issues, our son had them. We propped up on end of the crib with yoga foam blocks to keep him on a mild incline. Really helped.

Try a vacuum expansion tank cause most vacuum declines @ high rpm with the expansion tank you get smoother delivery good luck

Grew up at ground zero for IROC Z culture in a very Italian suburb of Northern NJ in the mid 80's. Vid brought back memories of Great times!

Another amazing video!!! Awesome seeing you work your magic.

The rust jacking on the outside of the brake hose was new information for me. I thought the inside deteriorated and collapsed. Thanks for that.

Super nice what you did for that kid - he's got a new subscriber!

Out of the years of scrapping vehicals and either fixing and reselling or parting out, theres about a 70% chance you can get the alternator to work again by just tapping on them, I've even taken a air hammer and go to town on the bracket they mount to while the vehicle is running, Wasn't a huge deal with alternators were under 100 bucks to just go buy a new one, but heck even my 94 suburban, 105amp alternators are 200 bucks or more for ones that aren't junk.

Just made my Friday with this post!!! Cheers
