[@michaelolsen2348]

Thats exactly right. Thats why people love my 75 Fury. They say back in the day cars had a personality. Now they're all the same basic thing.

[@SpockvsMcCoy]

Quality did not always matter at the UAW factories at that time...often dealers had to fix the new cars delivered to them.

[@bartsarton2212]

Are you kidding me?! Quality didn't matter back then. It was all about style. Body panels didn't fit right. Paint faded. Rust took over. Why do you think 8 year old cars were parked in fields? Seen many "barn find" videos of 1970 Chevelles left to rot in 1978. My 2004 Ford F150 has 260,000 km on it and still going strong. I'm tired of people saying quality was better back then. I agree today's cars are much more complicated, but you were always working on them back in the 60's and 70's. Points, spark plugs, wires, timing, carburetor, etc. Fun if you like that kind of thing, but most people don't. FYI, I have a '65 Impala SS. :)

I worked at a commercial shop 15 years ago. I watched my boss gag a F600 429 with a folgers coffee can. Fit perfectly over the Holley 4 barrel. Anyways, he was leaned way over inside the engine bay gagging the snot out of it with the can and it backfired one big belch of flames. He jumped out with his beard and eyebrows smoking. Took me 15 mins to stop laughing.

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Lol, that's great! I've had them back fire on me before but never any insane flames like that. I can see why a coffee can would do that though. The vapors and fuel probably built up inside of the can and then when he lifted it and it backfired, all that fuel ignited and exploded in the atmosphere. Definitely more dangerous with the coffee can. Especially since it could throw shrapnel if it exploded.

@@NoNonsenseKnowHow Use brake assembly lube, not just brake fluid as assembly lube.

I liked your use of fogging oil down the carb though.

@@NoNonsenseKnowHow I noticed that when you first started it, it was cold of course, the choke should have been closed, but it was wide open. If dirty jets are combined with inadequate choke at all, you will have a double lean condition; leaner still with any vacuum leaks.

[@stephensaasen8589]

That linkage you disconnected on the carb that goes to the transmission is a kickdown lever. When you punch the throttle, it's supposed to actuate a valve to drop the tranny down into lower gear for more power. I know these new fangled cars do it by computer but back in the day, downshift for power was done with this kind of linkage or a cable and sometimes vacuum. And that frame was standard issue on full size GM cars of that era. It was called the "X" frame. They went to a perimeter style frame in 1966. Nice old car.

[@tomc7631]

Hey Chris! New subscriber here. Really cool video. You are truly a great car guy and mechanic! Your videos are a pleasure to watch. Takes me back to my younger days in Frederick MD where I grew up with Chevys and Fords. My parents had a '64 Belair 4 door sedan with the 283 2 barrel powerglide. Dad was a volunteer fireman and we ran fire and accident calls. He took me with him when I turned 10 to be his navigator. Taught me how to read a map, and some times we'd beat the fire truck to the scene. Dad would pull out "on the feeway" and mash the gas pedal, saying " throwing the fat to it". The power glide would kick down and that 283 would fly!! 0 to 70 (speed limit at that time) in a heartbeat! And the sound!! Just as when you nailed it. WOW, what a thrill ride. Lost my dad in 1985' he was 52, I was 26. He started me working on cars at 12 years young and I am so greatful for his wisdom he passed on to me. Anyway I hope this classic finds a nice home or maybe you should keep it. I hope you do a follow up either way, and can't wait for your other classic car finds! Take care and happy holidays!

I was about to go on a trip and needed a car to drive. I found a 1966 Chevy wagon for $100 at a local used car lot and started on my 800-mile destination. The car burned oil so badly that I couldn't see behind me most of the way - the back end was dripping oil. It must have been getting 100 miles to the quart. I bought a case of oil before I left and it still wasn't enough. After negotiating hairpin curves in the darkest reaches of West Virginia, I finally reached my destination - North Carolina. As soon as I parked the car, my sister wanted to borrow it to go to the store. The moment she pushed the brake pedal the brake line blew. I'm thankful that the brakes held going up and down those steep 2-lane hills in West Virginia just 12 hours earlier. Talk about a close one.

[@MattsRageFitGarage]

I put a set of autolite plugs in my truck last year, only time I've used them in a car application. Got 2500 miles on the set and had one stop firing at idle. Tested resistance and it had 4 times the resistance of the other 7 plugs. It was very clean and looked just like the rest of the plugs color wise. Back to NGK no problems.

My second car was a 1962 2 DR Hard Top. I used to run it without any mufflers too. The sound of that 327 was exactly the same as my 283. It brings back old memories both good and bad and every neighbor after my hide. Lol. I was a teen at the time and didn't know any better, but sure like the sound of that engine, especially the back thrust. You'd better be careful or you could end up the same way.

Well the 327 sounds pretty darn good. I wonder if that is one with the big valve fuelie heads "double hump" on the front of the head indicates that. The transmission has just two forward speeds, it is a "powerglide transmission". I am glad that you checked the firing order as a lot of do it yourselfers will get the order messed up when changing the distributor cap or spark plugs.

This chevy wagon is badass...man this is gonna be nice when its finished...even if its not a full restoration..

[@VintageVaughnVehiclces]

Great to see a car rescued, I have a big car collection, I just told someone that I hope I'm not holding up a Realty site saying well this country still has gas pumps I've got to move to that country and leave America to be able to enjoy my car collection. Good to see you save animals I spend more on dog food than my own food.

I have a squirrel that we got in Florida right around 1 week old he is now 10 years old. Peter decided to stay with us he would go play out side but always came back. A Hawk was trying to catch him so that ended his tree climbing outside I tried everything to get him to stay outside but he would chew on windows trying to get inside lol.

What a video! Wow! Brings back so many good memories for me. I really wish I had the $6K, I would buy this in a heartbeat and finish putting her together.

Just love it. 1963 was a great year for a lot of cars.

I love how every time you open a brake master you say " really should be cleaned off" then you just pop her open. Every time. Do as I say not as I do.
