Chief won cash days, Shawn won on small tire no prep. Time to see The Crow vs OG Murder Nova on the street! Please make it happen!!!
Here is a match up that is possible in the near future when the nova is finished but how about Shawn’s og nova vs the red shiny nova that still needs a name I’m stumped on a name since that is the only race car that doesn’t have that they own if Jackie didn’t name it when he was racing it and I think it should keep the name Jackie’s dad dubbed it in his memory so his legacy doesn’t die
@@zachswanson5475have to see how it does .. might not be on the same level as chief or Shawn's car yet... Might have had different goals
Chief would be at a disadvantage, he doesn't have a proline HEMI in his car.
@@mike--- My money would be on the PONTIAC. Chief made his name beating the popular combos.
@@freedomfox8183 true but you have to admit it would be a good race to see regardless if who wins it would just be a friendly race with no money on the line and I’m not sure if Shawn has seen Jackie’s nova but that’s just a guess
To Miss Jackie, I do believe Dads looking down on you smiling knowing you getting the car back together and ready for his spirit to once again run down that track!! ✌✌
I can’t be the only person who can plainly see Justin is a much happier guy with the damn TV show. Absolutely love these videos. Can we get more Techtalk with Justin. I think people sleep on how much this guy actually knows about all aspects of racing. Chassis, suspension not just motors… keep bringing us awesome content.
@alexj835 🤣🤣 ok keyboard warrior take you and your negative ass comment and kick rocks. 🤦♂️
I agree he sure does
Shawn was cool and all til he started riding Ryan s coattails.
The day you stop learning ....hang it up ..
Willingness to complete jobs and improve knowledge are neverending ...just sayin .!!!
Hay this is John from American rights I hope my logo did not offend you guys I was just having some fun about the mess Jackie made🤩 I got a 1990 Corvette that was owned by a state trooper in Colorado for 22 years stock got a chip and some other stuff I mix 85 with it it’s a fun car building at least I’m trying to shoot for like 700 old-school small block Chevy I need to build something that I can drive it out of state if I want I’m not just a drag car butter out of 405 you guys cheese you were always my favorite and my son‘s favorite while he’s rooting for you when you want in Colorado and Arizona we were like jumping on our couch we’re so happy I started watching your channel I just subscribed to it this one so good luck with all your endeavors both you guys stay safe
The timing light is a Sears Craftsman Vintage Inductive Timing Light Model # 161.213400 manufactured from 1972 through the 1987. I still have mine too. ;-)
Casey Winningham; Your posted detailed, precise information including model number is excellent !
Had purchased my Craftsman Inductive Timing Light also in 1977 along with my Craftsman tool sets at the local Sears Department Store.
Also used them to assist me with my tuning, maintenance, repairs, examination, investigation, troubleshooting, purchase with each, every used car including the first in summer 1977 [1973 Opel Manta].
That Inductive Timing Light was certainly valuable, inexpensive, always reliable, durable, accurate throughout the many years; still. Even brought it and tools overseas to my residence [moved from USA 31+ years ago].
All The Best, Sincerely
@MidwestStreetCarsAuto @JustinSheareer;
Great, well edited video Jackie and well detailed, described, explained comment Justin 🙂
Clearly many that watch this video, seemingly those on Your channel have used, owned, bought this same Craftsman Inductive Timing Light too; thus posted their information.
Sadly, as with all valuable Craftsman tools, products, they are not longer available [NLA] as with Sears. Mine were always good, valuable, useful, though not the top level as those professional level tools.
I think my Dad has one of these same models..bought way back..last I saw of it it still worked fine...now I have to go look for it !!
I have mine! 😁
Ok so on the date of the timing gun…It’s late 70s early 80s craftsman. I have the identical version. It should tell you a date on the side of the craftsman tag. Or the patent date. But I can find out a more specific date with the model numbers. Loving the channel, and enjoy watching the two of you banter with each other. Thanks for sharing with us. Ps. Jackie I absolutely love your dad’s car. I’m glad you had the chance to rescue it.
I still use the same light......bought it in 1972 for tuning my 1969 Nova.
I believe that is the timing light everyone used in the late 70’s
I agree late 1970’s to mid 80’s
I used my Dad's Craftsman timing light on many a car. Early 1970's for sure.
I got my first one in 1978 at sears it wasn't cheap like 49.00
Still one of those in my dad's tool box.
I think it's a early 80's. Before that it was sears penske timing light in the 70's. That was a bit chunkier looking than the one chief is using
I have that same light. The trademark on the box says 1978. Mine still has the box and instruction sheet. It was my dad's. I also have a red and black Craftsman timing light from 1973. They both work.
Same here. Mine is from 1982. I still have the box. I'll sell it cheap😅
I used one at 13 in 1985 exactly like it was my father’s. Worked amazing I use it until 1995. I believe I loaned it to somebody and never saw it again.
I was goin to say 80s for sure i remember when craftsman was the best now its snapon or mac
@@tommymac3029I was looking for someone to say exactly this 😅😅😅😂
That exact timing light was a Christmas present from my Grand Parents in 1982. It wasn’t cheap back then. I still have the box and the instructions as well, and have used that light without fail for over 40 years.
Hey Big Chief, how you doing man we miss you. I went to auto shop in 1976 and '77. This is the exact light my instructor used and that I also purchased for my personal use. I still use it today. Hang in there man. Love the project
OMG. How cool is that full Auto Meter dash!!! Just perfect!!! 15:27
Right! It was so interesting to see that level of racecar with something other than a fuel tech, Holley, etc. And I guess I’ve never heard a Big Block sound that snappy, man that sounded good!
As I am old enough to have used and owned that exact timing light I would say very early 70's.
" I Big Blocked my whole life before you ok." Lol, Ms. Jackie making it known she's BEEN all bout that big block life. So cool watching you two do the damn thing.
I bought that timing light at the local sears store about 1980, that things an antique Chief
The timing light is early 70'S era. Nice work, Nice video and happy to see you working with the Nova. Thanks guys.
Given that I just rewired my entire truck i can appreciate seeing Chief stand there and just stare at the wire panel
Watching him move those boxes around hundred times reminds me of me doing the same thing and I was like am I the only OCD THAT has PDSD ABOUT AIF IT LOOKS RIGHT,,OR SHOULD IT GO HERE??? damnit I drive myself crazy sometimes 😅and this is why ppl that don't build cars 100% don't understand why it can take 2 days to put on a msd box or just a fused wire lol😅 it doesn't Maaattteeerrrrrrrrrr,, what we do there goes a days time lol😅😅😅😅😅😅
Hey Chief!! It was the good old 8-bit Nintendo that had the Zapper to play Duck Hunter. Remember Gun smoke?!? It was a Western theme shooting game. Now you know 😉 Take care guys ...and cats 😄
When the nova started up it made me smile as you could imagine the omission that car brings to you both. Fingers crossed it all goes smooth through to the first test. Good luck guys.👌
It warms my heart to see that old Craftsman timing light putting in work,I have one just like it that was my Dad's.I remember him using it in the early 80's when I was a kid and It still works great today.
I literally have that same timing light in my shop and use it with sporadic success on my papaw 71 Camaro. The balancer slipped so now I do it by ear. How cool! Thanks for taking us along for the ride! Edit: mine has a clip and springs not the fancy plastic hook on deal. Got mine in 1985 I believe
Good sir , a vintage big block requires a vintage and old school timing light. If memory serves me correctly, that looks to be 1979-1981 if that helps... long before you two youngins were born lol. Seriously it is sooooooo amazingly awesome and wonderful to see the two of you getting dad's Nova up and running and sounding quite healthy. I cannot wait to see either Miss Jackie or her sister knocking the dust... and rubber off this beautiful old girl. Not going to lie, I'm pretty certain that I will be shedding a few tears to see either one of them ripping down the track... Lord willing beating the pants off of their opponent. I know that this means the world to them getting their dad's car not only up and running, but winning once again. After everything that has transpired... and the way it all transpired. This will finally bring a huge smile to their dad's face when he sees his baby(ies) running down the track. Much love, prayers, and giant Newfie kisses from upstate NY.🙏💜
I have the same TLight handed down from my Grandfather. He had that thing since the 80's when I first started being his "gopher". Thanks for bringing back all those memories.
I'm so excited to see this car out there
I still have mine that I bought new when I was 19. I'm 75 now ! I bought it to use on my 1964 GTO with a 421 superduty factory race block.. I bought the car off of Gary Dyer[ Mr. Norm's + Dyer Blowers ] He supposedly won it off Ray Bessick [ Medicine Man ].
thats awesome!
That's an absolutely badass car. Do you still have it?
No, sadly but I think about it all the time and How stupid I was too let it go .@@landonbussieres1125
Through that car I met Arnie " The Farmer " Beswick. He was a great guy who was always willing to answer my questions, I would call him at his home and usually Mrs Beswick would answer the phone and say no dear, Arnie's still out plowing on the tractor and usually he would call back between 10 and 11 pm when he came in for the night.. Such a nice couple. One last thing, he would help us get parts from the factory that weren't available to the public. Sorry, I guess I talk to much but those were some good memories. I've always loved Pontiac [ and Chevy ] .
@@MidwestStreetCarsAuto so I thought that was your sisters car and that y’all was just storing it for her …? I know it’s none of my business … just wondering 💭… or did yall buy her out …? If not then it’s cool that yall are willing to to put money in it and time which I guess yall have plenty of time now days …😅 and fix it up for her … hopefully yall can teach how to drive if need be … or have her come over and help work on it teach her some of that stuff… I just hope you and her find as much peace ☮️ as possible weather it working on it together or separate or racing it together or whatever it may be … I’m sure you Dad would be really really happy and proud…
UA-cam loves not to give notifications, Thank You for sharing videos with the Nova Miss.Jackie
thanks Phillip!!
Most times I don't get till a day, sometimes more, but I'm in Texas, y'all know Red River??😂
Thanks for the awesome entertainment. I have the same timing light i bought it new back in the mid to late 70s when the others would quit working i would bring out old faithful and never let me down still works to this day. God bless and as always be safe.
My fathers had that same exact timing light. I just gave him a call and he estimates he bought his around 1976. I just used it a few months ago to time my Ramcharger I've been rebuilding. Still works great.
Man I think Noah used one of them timing lights setting the advance curve in the ark lol! 😂
Great vid as usual, can’t wait for the roogahs :)
Well someone get chief a head lamp so he can get that damn flash light out of his mouth 😂😂
Gonna need one with a bandanna pattern so his gangster ass will wear it lol
I do the same thing its easier to use than a lamp on my forehead
@@rhettgerner839 exactly lol
i cant aim the forehead light without turning my head lol
He doesn't need a headlamp, we all do what the woman tells us. 😂
I bought that same timing light in 1982 when I got out of high school and I still have it somewhere and it worked when parked lol. Im Gonna find it and put back in use or display great video love it
My Dad had that same timing light when I was a little boy I’ve still got it put up. I remember it in 90-92 watching him set the timing on the old Beetle
Timing lite from the 80s. Not sure which year. She looked so sad talking. You guys stay strong God Bless. Made my heart drop.
This is an absolute gorgeous nova...
I love the fact that is Jackie's Dad's car. I can't wait to see it running and driving. The front end looks great!
Ive watched for years! All the years i still enjoy watching you bro!
The surfing music is killer! Great banter at the end too. Good luck with the Nova y’all.
My dad has that same exact timing light and it still works perfectly 😂😂
Nice doc holiday reference😂😂👍
Great job and attention to detail both of you. Your Dad would be proud. The car sounds great!
Man I am so glad to see yall are getting the nova running and doing the up grades I'm sure Jackie's dad is looking down with a smile from ear to ear saying that's my girl I know yall will really put yalls heart and soul into this car and it will be even better. Good job guys
Miss you on street outlaws
Don't watch without chief
Don’t even watch npk any more, it is like a rerun ever year so boring 🥱
13:50 I feel attacked 🤣😂
lololol
I borrowed that exact same timing light from a buddy of mine to set the timing on my 59 mercury. It had the paperwork with it and it was from 1981 and it was the best timing light I’ve ever used hands down! Sweet piece!
Awesome to see you guy's bringing her dad's nova back to life
I have the same timing light. My grandfather gave it to me in ‘99 when I started tech school. I can remember it being in his garage when I was a little kid.
Love to see the upgrade on Nova. Chief made it look easy to do wiring
I've had that same light with the dial back feature since the mid 80's, still works perfect to this very day!
That light was made between 83-86, I have one my dad gave me and he remembers getting it around that time
Your dad would be so proud to see his car getting so much love and care from you Jackie and Chief thanks for making us a part of seeing it back to racing soon you guys are killing it on the videos
Got one!! I used it on my 73 grand prix. With a 400 pontiac. Also had the dwell meter that was from sears also. So I would say early 70s .
I love the speedy work! With standard speed speaking parts. Keep up the informed content
We have one from the mid to late 80'S with the advance dial. It's my backup light and still works
I had one of those timing lights. bought mine in 1984. It worked so good it grew legs and walked out of my garage one day into someone else's garage.
I have the same craftsman timing light! It belonged to my grandfather, he bought it in the 70s... i still have it now, and it still works PERFECT!!!
My dad had the complete craftsman engine analyzer set. It's early 80's. My stepbrother lost the damn thing or pawned probably Southside OKC or in Norman a couple of years back.
Ahh man chief and Jackie got plans for the nova can’t wait these 2 are awesome chief is the street god he can drive tune and knows how to get down love these 2 favorite people to watch on UA-cam
Bought mine in 1986 from sears still have it today then upgraded to the one with the daily on the back to tune for nos made it more easy
Thanks for sharing Chief and Jackie
I bought mine in the late 80's, the only difference is that mine has a dial indicator on the back so you can see how far out you are from BTC/ATC... Absolutely love this channel.....Justin and Jacky are the bestest.....
Yep i have one of those timming lights still use it to time our cars with it. You can still buy that style as well
That's an early 80's Craftsman timing light. I've still got my Dad's predecessor to that one, that makes that thing look new. It doesnt even Have an inductive pick up. You use a crazy ass long spring that bite the top of the plug, stands off the plug cap and you bike the spring with an alligator clip to signal the light. Doing this at night is interesting, quite the light show as the spring arcs all over the damp engine bay.
Great to see another video love watching what ever you film
I have the exact timing light and it’s always put back in the box after each use. Was my pops and that’s how he took care of his things. Guess I followed his steps. I love that light too. Anytime I use his tools there’s no other feeling like it.
Have had mine since 81 same exact light. No telling how many SMALL BLOCKS it's lit up 🤩 Also seen it's share of big blocks.
My son now has my Sears Craftsman timing light that I bought in the early 70's except mine doesn't have the detachable cord. But it still works.
I had one of those timing lights! I bought it from Sears @1980 when Sears was the place to buy tools for the hobbiest that couldn't afford Snap-on. It worked great for years till someone borrowed it... forever
I’ve always loved the Nova I owned one 25 yrs and it kills me i sold it. Beautiful Nova your Dad will be happy your upgrading it and working on it. RIP
Those timing light are awesome. Don’t skip a beat. My grandfather had 1 exactly like that. I would have to say maybe early 80’s on that.
Love to see you guys working on the nova!
Awesome video guys! Jackie's dad's Nova is gorgeous and sounds great. Fantastic wiring job Big Chief, and the black on the front lights looks really good Jackie! Can't wait to see those tires light up the street!
I use to work for Sears Auto Center in the mid to late 80s and I have one I bought while I worked there and it looks just like that except it's a dial back timing light. And bought it in like 1986 and that thing still works awesome.
That timing light is the model #2134 and it looks like production years were late 70s to the mid 80s. Also there is one on eBay right now with the OG box for like $35.
P.S. that timing light is older than me LOL. Great video guys!
I have the exact one. Used it on a 66 GTO. And was used on the 68 roadrunner with the 426 Hemi.
I have the dial back version of that light, I bought it new in 1995. Works great with my big block with an analog MSD box!
Big block just chirppin' away at idle!💪👍🙏
Ive got that same timing light. Got it for Christmas around 1992-93 . Still works fine as well. I think they sold the same model for a couple decades.
That old timing light is the same as my old Craftsman my dad got me for Christmas back in about 1984 . I upgraded to a Ferret in about 1994 that has a dwell and Volt meter with advance. It' has a digital display. Made in Kalamazoo MI. I like it. Bought it from NAPA of all places.
I have that exact same timing light, believe my Dad picked it up in the mid-seventies; it still works!
Big Chief and Murder Nova will break the internet I would love to see it at Jimmy Dales & Poland’s small tire gangster race at yellow belly
Thanks for all the content you guys I love watching your videos
Yep my dad has the same timing light. And it's never failed us even had to use it when mine wouldn't work either.
My dad turns 70 this year- he raced in HS and into his early 30’s. He had the same exact timing light- when I turned 15/16 and starting racing I used that timing light- I’m thinking that lights from the late 60’s. I know they’re incredibly durable as I put many love dents in a square body fender with that damn light when working on my first truck 😂
the timing light is from the early to mid 70's. I bought one exactly like it in 1975
Thank you for another great video. You two are awesome, much love and respect to you both ✌🏻
That's some awesome work. You clean that wiring up flawless job. Looks clean.
I like to see the team that does their own work way to go. Guys, best of luck from Colorado.
chief i have the exact same timing light I am 61 and I bought it in my 20's so its around 40ish years old and mine still works too !
loved the "don't act like I wasn't big blocking before I met you. haha
Lol, I have the same timing light. My dad bought it new in 1979 from Sears. Still works perfect.
My dad had one of those timing guns, said he got it in the late 80s. He used it on his 71 Chevy 350 small block back in 2006
I bought a actron timing light when I got my mustang in 2000 and it was like that, but it has the dial on the back. Looks to be similar exact except the dial. Even the cigarette burns. I got my 95 mustang last year and broke it out and it still works!
I got the exact same timing light. it works.
IT'S ALIVE
Thanx for sharing this Great Day Great to see you and Jackie Getting the Nova running
Have a Great Day 👍
I had one like that. My grandfather gave it to me in the late 80's!
No better way to honor your dad than bringing that Nova out and getting it running correctly. Those lights were from the 70s up until the 90s then sears came out with the adjustable advance dial in the middle but looks the same as that. Those adjustable ones are great. Sunpro actually makes one that looks just like it
Bought my Craftsman timing light in 1988 and still using it today! Has advance timing knob on the back and is dead nuts advance or on 0
My grandfather had one of those timing lights in the early 80s that I remember him using, and it was well used then.
I haven’t seen one of those old craftsman timing lights since I was a kid. That’s awesome
I do believe Jackie has the talents to build a race car, by herself. Everything but the HEAVY lifting. Miss Jackie youre giving out hope that there's women still out there that could maybe, aquire your skill set and tradecraft. Or atleast become interested in the sport like you are. Thanks for the inspiration. You, Tess, Alex Taylor and Brittney Automotive Are "Dreams Come True"
thanks gary! i appreciate it! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
"The King of Mission Creep"...
Jackie I'm very impressed! Good one! 👏😄
Chief...Jackie keeps looking better each day now i know what you were seeing...👊Girl knows hot rod's!!!
I've got that same timing light. Had it forever An yes it still works.
I have one of those that I have used since the mid eighties and is still the best timing light I've used 😁
In 1983 I built my first motor with my Fathers help. I Used that same timing light. I have it in My shop now. My father was a bracket racer in the late 70's and early 80's I have never not known him to have any other Timing Light but that one. so If I had to guess I'd say early 70's
