"Yeah, hiday dunk daa"
Wow, good luck you got both of them to run pretty easily.
you should probably put a timing light on the silver one with the v8
You are a very patient man. I admire your deliberate approach. One of the many insights I took from this was -- don't start this at the end of the day. Also, don't do this while you are tired or angry. Thank you.
🤘🏻🤘🏻
How did you get the room the power steering pulley? mine is blocking my high pressure port on the gear box I’m running Holley high mount kit with truck spacing if that helps thanks and nice build
@@terrancemcdaniel695 I used the holley smaller diameter PS pulley I believe.. with 2010 Camaro spacing…
A 4l80 flex plate would work without that spacer you use and it’s pretty beefy
👍👍🇨🇦✌️🇨🇦✌️🇨🇦✌️👍
Hi from Sydney, Australia. Sadly these never came to Australia except for a few US Government official cars. By'91 there were no converters prepared to do small quantity conversions from left hand drive to right hand drive. When these 4th series Caprices came out I thought they looked terrific with the skirted rear fenders, I owned a factory right hand drive 1965 Galaxie, those also had skirted rear fenders, then for "66 Ford opened up the wheel arch , same as GM did in the 1994 makeover on the Caprice, so a bit of its class was lost. Until the mid 70's both Ford & GM Aust' would import the parts in kit form to build RHD versions of a select range of US Ford & GM cars I've owned a few over the years and have kept my 2 favorites a 1972 & 1974 Cadillac Fleetwood Broughams. I've owned the black '74 model now 42 years , and unlike your Caprice, mine has 710,000 kilometres on it, however it looks like new, looked after carefully in our warm dry climate as I knew I'd never get another, I bought it when I was 26, now I'm 68.
keep the 18s, that's one hell of an Olds!!!
Where is the oil pump located and (not to ask a big ask) but how would you replace it?
How size roller chain
James,i would love to find a backyard/junkyard mid 80s buick regal turbo car thats driveable and fix up the drive train
looks like a typical canada day
Does this mechanism also control Rear Break lights...(82' Cutlass).. Tha ks
very odd for us here in Texas seeing these without AC!
What was your reason for the fix ? Turn signals and brake lights weren’t working ? That’s my case and list of people say I need to do this …
Well my front blinkers work and tail lights work also. Just back blinkers and brake lights that don’t work
I believe it was the brake lights not working and honestly if I remember correctly, I think I figured it out to be the brake light switch being corroded inside. I just popped it open and clean that out so I probably did this for nothing but I had people telling me the same thing.
nothing says German like Audi
They didn't cast numbers in the block for their health. 😂 The numbers will tell you everything you need to know. Year and month of manufacture, application (car or pickup) and displacement (engine size). You got it made these days, just Google it. In my day I had to actually crack a book or use a rotary phone and call someone. I'm glad to see some people can still figure s*it out. Good job! 👍
If all light work except turn signal will I need that
Hard to say.. might need the signal relay try all easy fixes first
@@GBodyJames were is signal relay located
@@jermalramsey1567 i'm wondering the same thing, theirs two signal relays apparently. Ones for the hazards and the other is for the blinkers.
sounds sweet
just finishing mine with an 8 rib setup, what size belt did you use? Edit, nevermind, I see it..
Love the channel . I had a 78 bubble coupe. $200.00 drove it for 8 years.The tin worm took a toll on it. Great car..Cheers from Westbank🎉
Hey man, this is a pretty great video! I'm hoping the rest are aswell, I just bought a fairly good condition 1981 delta 88, and I bet this will prolly help for restoring mine!
Awesome car
Real decent looking Caprice. Another awesome video. Have a look at the videos on the channel "I Do Cars" as he tears down large quantities of used engines. The entertainment value is well worth it.
Good video!
I used a air compressor to get the fuel out while the strainer was still on
Nice car ❤ i have one 92 white pristine ❤❤❤ they're great car's 💯 extremely reliable
Hey, I have the sr175. Should be the same. Off topic question. Where is the hydraulic fluid drain hose? I've been searching everywhere for it.
I have no idea
Appreciate the video. If I also need to replace the fan motor, is it safe to say I'll need to removed the entire box from under the hood? I need to do the heater core but the fan is skwaking bad and I need to do it while I've got everything tore apart. Thanks
Never done it I do not know.
I can feel the ticks
The completeness is key. I knew much of the way in from other adventures but this is so helpful. Also kudos for doing it (twice) in sub freezing conditions. I do love a cheap to buy Audi.
Hi, such a lovely video! I LOVE it! Please don’t mind, I’d like to know if the front seat backrest of the 1980 Bel Air could be adjusted or not? I'm writing a mystery novel and there's a scene featuring this exact Bel Air model, so this question is really important to me. Thanks a lot!
I luv it, wish I knew how to work😅 on cars like you
Nice score that kind of price is unheard of anymore 301 pontiacs will last just dont abuse it
Thank you, this was helpful information.
i just got a 78 and it’s missing the rear bumper and clip if you know anyone with one please let me know
😊 great job..
It's an A-body. Not a G body.
We all know ow that buddy but in all reality they are G Body’s!!!
The big hose on the back is the vacuum line to the brakes. The small one to the right is a pcv valve going to the air cleaner.
The pump on the right is called a smog pump.
A real beauty. I have a similar car mine being a 1989 Grand Marquis LS 50th Anniversary Edition in dark blue metallic with full cloth carriage roof and all exterior trim in gold anodized including trunk mounted luggage rack. My other two cars are Crown Victoria wagons a 1987 and a 1991. As good as the Ford's ride the Mercury is supreme.
Thanks
awesome video, i have to say that body lift must have really helped, i ended up grinding off half of my bolts, my truck is pretty rusty lol
Ya it’s helped so much..
Hmm for guy that all he can do is swear about a Chrysler I think its interesting that you drive a Dodge Ram. What does that say about you?
Sold it to a derby guy
You the Chrysler to guy who was gonna smash it up. What a waste.@@GBodyJames
@@Thunderrolls87 he who pays shall do whichever he likes with the car hahahaha
Great vid. Told me what I needed to know without telling me what I already knew. FSC Trucking has 20 mins of vid that told me nothing. Well it had a lot of what I need to do without anything on how, where, why or when to do any of it. Thanks a helluvalot.
Yep that’s why I made the video couldn’t find one myself when I had to do the job so I figured I’d help the next guy out
A whole lot of junk.
Man I'd drive from manitoba... but that's a little too far 😢. LOVE that C30 holmes wrecker and pickup a couple 70s c10s and a second gen camaro and a few others hahaha 😅😅
