She can be beautiful especially if it’s numbers matching. Definitely worth it. Keep it as a tow rig and enjoy it especially if there’s family history with El Caminos.
Just seen this exact issue on legit street cars. Same deal, oil filter balloons up at start up and dumps oil. It did wind up being oil pressure relief valve.
My brother was given an old Jeep Commander. It had the old Buick V6 225 engine. The timing chain was out of it and it was too rusty for the road. I took the valve covers off along with the front engine assembly. I don't think they ever changed the oil in that engine. I cleaned everything the best I could. Spun the engine over until we got some oil pressure. It started up and the oil light came on. It had pumped the oil filter full of crap and ballooned the oil filter like your El Camino is doing. Several oil filters later we were able to have some fun in the fields and woods with the Jeep until it just broke the frame from being rusted out.
Just pulled out a 67 396 four speed Chevelle about a month or so ago for a guy, it had been sitting in a barn for like 20 years. It was all solid tho he had it primed before he parked it plus he had two 396 blocks a 427 and a 327 block sitting with it and a new quarter panel for it that’s an actual gm one
Chris, in memory of your dad and Grandpa.And that's a 454 with a 4 speed.I think you need to keep it and drive it. 1970 El Camino they don't make them anymore 😊😊😊😊😊
😂😂😂 EVERY SINGLE TIME I SEE someone trying to turn over a motor using the bolt to hold on the balancer to the crankshaft I'M SCREAMING "TAKE OUT THE PLUGS FIRST DAMN IT!!".😂😂😂😎🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
@junkerup , Sorry buddy, I meant by just trying to turn the crank with the bolt. I can't believe how many people I've seen strip it out of the crankshaft! 😎🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
I dont think I would have started it for fear of losing the motor 396 are hard to come by if it's matching numbers, and I am with you love my mopars but I am a car guy threw and threw all have something to offer .
guy from legitstreetcars had a filter that kept leaking oil. He got a couple to seal and they literally expanded and almost blew up. Tuned out to be the pump oil by pass was scratched up sticky
Dalton from pbg mentioned u in his last video, so i subed and put notifications on for your channel. i figured I'd cheak out your latest video i trust the man. My instincts were right im looking forwerd 2 watching all your videos 💪🏽.
The oil pressure line is right above the oil filter, it is probably leaking out of there. The oil pressure relief spring is probably stuck too, but that is where I would check for your oil leak. Pull it back onto ground that doesn't have oil on it, jack it up, disable the coil and just crank it over while watching underneath to find the actual leak. If you haven't already sold it.
It could be the oil filter adapter gasket. I had a chevy 454 that developed a leak at the oil filter adapter gasket because it had an old paper gasket. The factory GM oil filter adapter gasket is steel. If you go to an auto parts store they will sell you a paper oil filter adapter gasket instead of the GM factory steel gasket. I believe you can still get a GM factory steel oil filter adapter gasket from a chevy dealer.

Its a 4 speed 396 big block elcamino it will definitely be restored.you just have to sell it to someone who has money.by the way my first car was a 66 elcamino with a 327 with a powerglide it did awesome burnouts.until the rear end exploded.then i traded it to a 68 coronet 500 with a 383 best car trade ever
Funny that you can open the door and others have a hard time. Same with my slightly ratty 65 Catalina: Peope are telling me the door is locked. If you have enough strength in your fingers you can open it no problem.
You tried, it needs a rebuild anyways, this little truck needs some cash, you should check the vin and the engine block to see if it numbers matching, make those Chevy boys pay, hehe.
Oil filter adapter aluminum thing that bolts to the block. My small block chevy did this to me, pissed me off.. oil everywhere. It blew out after backing out of my garage no reason other than its a chevy. It had a hairline crack in it. I swapt it out for a used one off another small block problem solved. Shit design G/M 👍
2:00 in 1985 the Elco got smashed and Chris shares with us that his mom also did. Could have been 84 I guess. It's a fuckin joke people. Lighten up. Mine got smashed in 79
Hey, Chris. I'm still in search of a late 90s early 2000s Engine 5.9 Magnum engine block. That hopefully is not too worn out. I've got stock pistons. I'm on the West Coast. Called some Yards up here & either no luck or they want Too Much. Can you help? Or any ideas?
@kevinvansandt9117 Hi Kevin, You live in Wisconsin? I would have to look into how much shipping would cost & how much you want for engine. Is it a Magnum & what year is it?
@@kevinvansandt9117 I'm definitely interested in that 5.9 engine. You let me know if it's something you're willing to part with and how much and then if it works out, I'll send you my email address.
I wondered that myself. I think it's to help when bleeding the master cylinder when it's installed. Helps with air being pumped to the front or by gravity bleeding. Also, if you blow a front brake hose, the back brakes will still have a little( I guess).

No need, it’s not hydraulic pressure it’s air. Just to see if crank moves there’s no need to pull plugs

Hey Chris thank you for the video damn you Chevy
Already know its an amazing day when Chris posts sorry im late
My favorite youtube channel
I've seen them do that with spun mains. I wouldn't think that wimpy cam driven oil pump could pump that hard with the relief valve stuck.
They can't all be winners. Good job you have plenty Oil Dri/Sand in your yard.

Nice vid as always 👍 cheers from France mate
That is actually a very cool car! 👍🏋️♀️
1964 El Camino 283 4 speed was my first car! $800.
71 Camino deal3r car bought 2973 for 2800 bucks. They stole the car in 1997
Good times 🎉 nice shop truck or parts runner
Oil pump pressure, relief valve stuck as you said if I would Watch the video lol

It’s no mistaken filter leak
Epic video . Derek be special ha ha . caveman . The door handle thing was a laugh . This my fav video I gotta say. Roller coaster ride .
Hey man headed out to Vegas and was hoping to be able to meet you.. and perhaps minty ..... Smurf lol
Just call it the parts chaser! Thats what we called the el caminos and rancheros back in the day.
Currently bored in class bird but not anymore with birdsong playing 😎
26:33 Been a member the day you added memberships!
Yup and I greatly appreciate it man. It really helps
@junkerup You're more than welcome! Always wanted to support you ever since I subscribed bout 4-5 years ago but didn't know how until the memberships!
Channel Carter Auto Restyling and straighten out the crunched fender. Did it pump any oil up to the heads?
There is a check valve with a spring in the oil pump that's stuck. It's the oil pump.
It could be the oil filter adapter gasket. I had a chevy 454 that developed a leak at the oil filter adapter gasket because it had an old paper gasket.

Fix it up Chris please and it will be worth alot. I beg you to fix it and make it beautiful again
There is a oil port right about the oil filter on big blocks. Did you check that?
Yo, Chris, face it bro. Time is right to return to the Isaac Daytona Charger...
Did someone before leave the outta O-ring on it from the last one???🤷
1st
Hell yes it'll run, its a Chevy!!
Runs & drives... wink wink 😉😉
I love when someone says “ran when parked”. They all ran when they were parked for the last time they ran…😂

Isn't there a oil tap in the back of the block for a gauge if that's not plugged in the gush on top by the intake manifold them back
Its a 4 speed 396 big block elcamino it will definitely be restored.you just have to sell it to someone who has money.by the way my first car was a 66 elcamino with a 327 with a powerglide it did awesome burnouts.until the rear end exploded.then i traded it to a 68 coronet 500 with a 383 best car trade ever
It has the round SS gauges and the delux SS steering wheel
Ok, HOw much for that fun bucket 4 speed? Reply back with a way to reach you too pls.😊
Pending sale at $7500
Pressure relief in the pump is stuck.
Had a 80's jeep Comanche 4.0, ran fine but oil filter did the same. Would come loose no matter how tight. 🤷. Sold it
Funny that you can open the door and others have a hard time. Same with my slightly ratty 65 Catalina: Peope are telling me the door is locked. If you have enough strength in your fingers you can open it no problem.
did it get any oil up to the push rods???
Calling an El Camino a truck is like calling a crew cab pickup a sedan.
El caminos are based off of the station wagon. I’ve had a 68 and a 71
Oil pressure gauge sending line thingy is behind the distributor back there. If its a steel line it might have brokeded in the wreck!
It's actual oil pump pressure so it's a dang flood like that.
Not on a bbc, it's right above the filter on side of block.
Above the filter then, it would pour out like that if the senders broke off..
I could never afford bb, but it's worth taking a look see,some of them oil guage lines plastic, header heat could melt them off .
Points my man. Fuel spark. Coil. Fresh. Gas from pony tank. Carb fuel. Filter
Need that 11/32 wrench to tighten coil nuts.
You tried, it needs a rebuild anyways, this little truck needs some cash, you should check the vin and the engine block to see if it numbers matching, make those Chevy boys pay, hehe.
I am way lost on this video. Couple questions…where is car located…how much…is it still available? Please advise. Thanks.
Chris lives in Vegas… so that’s where the car is-
How high is Derek? 😆
I want to see tall john n birdsong build a drag car from junk parts even the rings n gasket from junk parts n drag race each other in the 1/4 mile.
damn it would have been a nice proyect for the channel
"Has great oil pressure."
My first car was a 1970 Torino.
Oil filter adapter aluminum thing that bolts to the block. My small block chevy did this to me, pissed me off.. oil everywhere.

Chris, how much are you asking? Ty.
There is 2 bolts thst hold housing on for oil filter. The gasket must be ripped
Great to see like minded people's like!!
2:00 in 1985 the Elco got smashed and Chris shares with us that his mom also did. Could have been 84 I guess.
It's a fuckin joke people. Lighten up. Mine got smashed in 79
Hey man how much for the ol elcamino
I meant to say in the back by the intake manifold
My 8 year old daughter also had problems to open my 69 chevy door😂
Just wondering if Derek abit special
The front turn indicator lights are oval shaped on the Elcos.
They are round on Elcos and Rectangular on Chevelles.
Wondering why you just didn't try and push it with the transmission in gear
I've been trying to find out how much and if you sold it yet. Any answers?
Waiting on title, have pending sale at $7500

I have a 5.9 with 150,000 miles it blew a head gasket it's leaking out the front no water in oil to bad I live in WI I'd work something out with you

The oil leak is from a broken oil pressure sending unit.
I would hang onto the vehicle and take it to muscle cars at the strip and or auto cross it!
NOOOO WHERE DID YOUR HAIR GO!! D:
Will it start? Yes!
Will it run? For a while...
I never in my 58 years see any car 🏃 🇺🇲
👍👍
So how much u want for a 2k el co ?
Pending sale at $8k
try that on a hood of today's car, it would have folded in half
The 70 wagon and elcomino have the same front end the front cap wont fit on a car also the frame is the same as a wagon
The body line is different between '70 and '71, a '70 is inch higher then 71,72,73.
Oil pressure Sending unit.
👍
✌
I'll give ya $100 for the cragers, I seen the condition
Why do GM cars have their brake reservoir tilted backward? Seems like that would make filling it difficult.
I wondered that myself. I think it's to help when bleeding the master cylinder when it's installed. Helps with air being pumped to the front or by gravity bleeding. Also, if you blow a front brake hose, the back brakes will still have a little( I guess).
I think the fuel injection bearings are STUCK!
Feels like 2005
Craco ,,, can't remember how to spell it ,,,, haven't heard that name in years .
Kraco
Yea ,,, Kraco ,,,,,,, thanks man
Unless the internal components of the engine are knackered you only need air,fuel and a spark so why wouldn't it.
💪😎
I thought we're older than 1985 I was born 86 lol
Glad it wasn't a square body hood.
I don't care if it runs or numbers matching....is it still for sale???
Technically yes but I do have a decent offer I said I would take
Shit I want that thing what is the asking price
