I can’t wait till they get that Corvette up and running….bet he goes and sits in it every day. When my dad parked his 64 Chrysler New Yorker in the late 70’s me and my little brother played in it everyday.

[@mikereinhardt4807]

Sleeper Dude, if you put a small pulley at the front of your lift and a stout rope you could easily pull on the rope attached to the front bumper of the vehicle and the vehicle would go onto the lift with a lot less trouble. Just a thought...

[@ronskopitz2360]

That works! And I always thought they should mount a winch on the floor near the wall…

Yes that would probably work good

For cleaning aluminum carbs and parts, I found the best cleaner to use in the ultrasonic cleaner was a product called Simple Green Extreme. It is the cleaner used by Boeing for aluminum components and leaves no residue like a lot of other cleaners do. It's a concentrate so a gallon bottle goes a looonnnng way.

You're a hundred percent right I owned a 1985 mustang GT with the 4-barrel carburetor in the five speed. But the automatic came with fuel injection and five less horsepower than the four barrels did that was a nice car black with tan interior. Beautiful!

[@thebeardofgaming81]

You need to get you a winch and a mount plate and anchor it to the floor, it will change your life getting cars in your garage. Also, the bolt thing to use on the side post batteries, I've done for years as well. Not sure why the dealer didn't do that. It's the best working setup there is.

Great family working together and having fun doing it. And the kids are always learning something.

[@garybush6117]

Hello again from Ocala. Josh, just wanted to answer the question you posed in the video. Haven't read the other comments so I don't know if anyone else did. You are correct about the 1985 Mustang GT. I had an 85 GT convertible with AT. I found out that those 85 GT's with auto did indeed come with the fuel injection. The 5 speeds had a 4 bbl carb. I don't know how the 86's were set up. Even though I had the fuel injection, I still had the full size breather with the dual snorkels. Although I have an 06 GT Convertible now that we use for shows, we still miss our old Fox Body. Great video and the Jimmy looks awesome. Another vehicle I wouldn't mind having. You always seem to come up with many cars I wouldn't mind having. Greetings to all of your clan, and we look forward to the next video.

Yes even my '89 Ford F150 has throttle body fuel injection and my injectors have never gone bad because i drive mine and it doesn't sit long enough for anything to get crudded up like that one did after sitting for 8 to 10 years. You are right fuel injectors either work great or they are dead. Thanks for another fun video.
