You are correct about never knowing when your time on Earth will be your last. It's sad that people lost their lives in that tornado but it's something that can't be prevented sometimes. I have never seen a tornado firsthand, and I never want to. God bless those who suffered.
Ryan first and foremost .., thoughts and prayers go out to those impacted by the tornado. I’m glad you and your family are safe. Very nice gesture on your part to take a moment to reflect. You’re right. Life is very fragile and can change at the blink of an eye. I’ve mentioned to you before. My top true loves are 1959 and 1966 full size chevy’s. Another awesome vid from you. Thanks for sharing and rescuing these old girls. You rock my friend !!
you have a big and kind heart my friend. may our God Bless you and your family. it say`s in the Bible, our life is but a vapor, it can be gone in a second. God be with those affected by the tornado
Glad you and your property is safe. Pryers to all the people effected by the tornado. If nothing else Bud you are tenacious. I find myself cheering right along with you as you get these old girls going again. Hopefully no more tornados.
You can't beat a straight six and three-on-the tree. I can't imagine working on my cars with a jacket, hat and gloves. If it's that cold I don't even leave the house.
Interestingly enough, my father, who was also a doctor, bought a new ‘66 Bel Air. He was not a car person and saw it as practical transportation. Also a 250, but with a Powerglide. It was the first automatic transmission vehicle he ever owned. The car was eventually passed on to my mother, then to my oldest brother. In the autumn of 1971, it was traded in on ‘72 Plymouth Satellite Sebring, which I still own today. I am currently restoring a ‘64 six-stick Biscayne station wagon. Looking forward to more videos of your fleet.
I really like watching these old cars being brought back to life and being saved, I was 15 years old when that car was made. I just had a thought, years ago when my older sister was little we lived right next to my grandmother, a real sweet lady, she without thinking used to say "Oh my G**" well my sister started saying the same thing, grandma saw how bad that sounded, and stopped saying it.
If you fill the cylinders with magic mystery oil, you do not replace the plugs! Upon cranking the engine, the compression stroke needs for the oil to have somewhere to go, out the spark plug holes!
They Ryan this one really fought you but you got it going. Great job. God bless all that were affected by the tornado and a fast recovery to anyone that was injured. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻
So happy to see this one having a purpose again. I'll be looking for a '65 like this (post, more door, six, manual, no power options, would prefer heat and a radio, Biscayne or Bel Air). They're not all gone yet, and the more we bring back the better!
Was a very popular engine (165 hp) in the marine industry until V-6s (175 hp 2bbl & 205 hp 4 bbl) (shorter more room in boat) replaced them. The biggest killer is unleaded fuel would cause valve seat recession. Run a lead substitute additive or have the head redone with hardened seats. Also fiber cam gear failure, other wise a pretty solid bottom end. Distributer weight plate pins and point cam would be worn badly on high hour (mileage in cars) engines.
People beating on valves with a metal hammer are scary. Get a nylon hammer. They usually have a nylon head and a rubber one. You hit it as hard as you want and will not damage the valve. Good video.
I have a 66 Belair I bought for $300 sitting up on blocks when I was 17. It's 235 6cyl Two-speed power glide. I drove it until I was 42 then let my son drive it to college. Found out it's actually a a 65 1/2. Tried to buy a universal joint and it took a 65. A man saw it at a gas station and told me it was 65 1/2. He had one just like it. I still have the car and have done some mods. Suicided the rear doors. and Cadillac interior with rear brake light in back window. Center console paint and tires and rally wheels.
Email me photos...there is no such thing as a 65 1/2, sorry to burst the bubble man. Sadly, a lot of these old timers dont know what theyre talking about. I had an old guy tell me one time he bought a brand new 1961 elcamino....which was never made. Lol
@@IowaClassicCars OK I believe you. The only reason I thought he was correct was when I had to replace the universal joint and it took a 65 instead of a 66.
that twister is a grandaddy. You are fortunate to have the visibility to see it. Where I live, tornados are usually "rain-wrapped" making visual tracking extreme difficult. Radar is our only friend.
Oh Ryan, I'm sorry to hear about the loss of life from the tornado. Life can be so fickle, saddeningly much. We need to make 5he best of life and try to tell your kin you love them a lot. The video of that tornado says it all. Hooray! You got the engine running and the car moving. Off she will go to a new home, another save! These were great bread and butter cars, but order them right, boy do they command respect. Thanks for posting.
I love that car, wish I had it.I'm on everybody's videos saying the starter way is the best way to unstick a engine, I do it just a little bit different but whatever works, works.so Glad it worked for you
I was watching that stove pipe in real time video thru Ryan Halls channel. So sad about those folks . This is the time of year were we all must be vigilant, have our weather radios near by and keep our loved ones safe!
Cool car. I had a 4 door 1971 Chevy Nova that was the same color and also had a 250. This car reminds of it. Those 250s are really good motors and easy to work on.
Yeah, that tornado footage was scary!! Glad you n yours are safe. IMHO someone either needs to preserve or restore this. Hardly any 4 door examples remain. Should be saved for future generations. Not all classics are 2dr Chevelles, or Impalas. Engine may need a serious going over to run like new again, but little work required to achieve that. JT
I'm just curious. Do you sell any of the cars you come across. I'd be interested. I'm in Wisconsin most stuff up here is rot. Those cars you find look pretty solid. You ever get a chance to come up here I can show you a junkyard not many people know about. Opened in the 30s and they never crushed any cars. It's a goldmine.
Sounds like my first truck 1960 Chevy with 235 six in it. The upper valve train was getting zero oil but it still ran. Anyway glad to see you don't overlook the 6 cylinder. I'm a small block Chevy guy myself but the six cylinder in line has a very important part of History. That is the cars are cheaper to buy with the Yankee engines out and put in our hopped up V8 as kids. Oh yeah doing that again but not quite as with as much vigor. Glad you're having fun with it. Kind of like playing football sometime it's more fun to setting the bleach room watch the other guys do it. Definitely a good save be a waste to send that car to crusher
Hey Ryan sorry to hear about Casualties, Glad you're alright. When it comes to Starting fluid Pyroil starting fluid in a black can has upper cylinder lube in it. Just thought I'd let you know. Cool Car.
Tornado where You are, floods where we are ! (At least no one’s shooting at us …. yet). Cool old basic car. We had them as well, basic big cars with a six, not popular for saving, most stripped for parts.
Excellent video Ryan :) also ground cable needs pigtail on fender bolt up need add on to if like know for this car also get Alternator recharge battery up when running too and help starter to rolling over faster too! My thoughts & prayers to Tornado families & friends 🙏 also be near also in ones before in Ontario and Canada plus USA it scary for sure! Hope garage building up didn't get ruin and be very upset too! But got winner car plus key ignition switch in to be helpful too!
I really like the 250 six cyl engines. Had one in a 64 3/4 ton we used for a wrecker.We moved some pretty heavy stuff with it and the 250 had sufficient power and never guzzled gas like the original 292 six did. I get the HEI from a intergrated head 250 and install those on the older engines . The V8 flywheel and larger 11 inch clutch will fit the 230 and 250 engines.
my dad had one of those oil can in the 70s. the stream from the nozzle was acurate and got into tight spots.this was before all the PB Blaster and other spray oils. I bought one in late 80s-early 90s but wasn't as good. cheap metal cannister.
you put oil in the cylinders then put the plugs in then tried to turn it over. Just a remindider that the pistons can't compress liquid. you should have the plugs out to allow the oil to spit out while turning it over
It's your choice but I was thinking maybe it'd be a good idea to hook an oil pressure gauge up to that and make sure it's got oil pressure sounds a little dry to me
I've got a 66 Bel Air 2 door post, she's awesome. I've got a short walk around vid of it on my channel if anyone likes the 2 door posts. Loved the video dude, been subscribed for a while now all the way over here in New Zealand. Keep saving the awesome old cars.
Lot of time the motors ain’t stuck the belts get rusted to the pulleys. Nice car I stopped here looking for one I had years ago I know it’s somewhere and you’re not to far from me
the engine won't turn over because you put oil in the cylinders and the plugs in so there is no place for the oil to go. Take the plugs out then try to turn it over
I'm not surprised the engine is locked up. I know where there's a 1966 Buick Special convertable and the engine was locked up back in 1992. It was freed up then, but that car was not used and it's been sitting ever sinse. Oh, Its always been parked in the houses garage sinse 1972. It was taken off the road in 1974... Moisture gets into the engine and you know the rest.
Next time take out the plugs before you try to turn it over. So not fighting compression while trying to get unstuck,,,and Possible hydrolock from putting oil in cyls.
Exhaust obstruction ? ? , critters crawl up in the exhaust of any vehicle that sits and build nests causing ? ?, excessive blow back/by, failure to run and more.
@@IowaClassicCars i agree it just reminded me of when i was a kid. My dad asked me to hand him a hammer. I bought him a claw hammer. He threw it at me and said GD unless I’m driving a nail don’t hand me no f”ing claw hammer.
in canada, the bel air was also called a pontiac laurentian, with chevy drivetrains on a chevy body, cheviac, the canadian pontiacs, were not pontiacs.
I wasn't seeing oil moving on the top when the valve cover was off (maybe it just wasn't visible on camera) and the valve train sounds pretty noisy. Does it have oil pressure? just curious lol.
I was curious how you decided it was ever locked up? Great video, ty. I would make a little jumper wire to run to coil if you are going to be doing this a lot.
I LOVE YOUR CHEVYS ALL!!! THE 6CLY. I LIKE A LOT YOU CAN WORK ON THEM EZYYYY..THANKS FOR THE LIGHT IF YOUR GOING TO HAVE A VIDEO FOR US I CANT SEE CRAP ,, MOVE SOME STUFF AROUND , ITS WASTING MY VIDEO TIME..THE COVER WAS ALREADY TAKEN OFF ??? GOOD LUCK!! THIS IS BORING..
Take the starter off and try to turn it by the fly wheel then look up and see there and see if the clutches and stuck to the flywheel and that's why it aint turden
..God, Nooooo...too many d@mn LS swaps..I know they are good engines, but so is the inline 6, and MUCH simpler...so hacking up the wiring and drivetrain with the original engine, too....

You can't beat a straight six and three-on-the tree.
I can't imagine working on my cars with a jacket, hat and gloves. If it's that cold I don't even leave the house.
haha, the older i get, the more i hate being in the cold
You just can't kill a Chevy six. I just love their simplicity. I'm working on a '60 Biscayne 2-door sedan right now. I'm putting in a 261.
you got that one right

One can not kill a chevy 6 cly. My daily driver is a 65 chevelle 4dr with 6 cly 230. Runs like a champ each and everyday.
got that right!
What kind of fuel mileage do you get being a daily driver?
@@jeffrobodine8579 about 15-17 mpg in town
Those rear pie-crust tires are the TRUTH! All those Chevy in-line six's wanna do is RUN! 216, 235 250, 290 - it just does not matter.

i cant believe you put the plugs back in b4 getting it rolling. it is likely hydro locked with oil in the cyls and the plugs in it
Yea i overlooked that minor detail lol

Ryan, sanding points is ok, I found using an Emory board works , too. Easier to hold on to. Keep up the good work.
I will try that

Sorry to hear about those casualties....
yeah what a bad situation
Your sir have gained a new subscriber due to this vidgya and I just started watching this...lol
Haha, thanks man! Welcome aboard
It's your choice but I was thinking maybe it'd be a good idea to hook an oil pressure gauge up to that and make sure it's got oil pressure sounds a little dry to me
Yeah i suppose i could have done that
Man, you find some great parts cars.
Lmao this is no parts car
I would guess that oil can is from the late 60’s , the brass should last longer than the car.
Nice bring her back
Good work 👍
Thanks man
This looks like the 1966 Chevy used in the movie Dirty Mary and Crazy Larry. ( minus the six cylinder motor)

that it is, finally!
Lot of time the motors ain’t stuck the belts get rusted to the pulleys. Nice car I stopped here looking for one I had years ago I know it’s somewhere and you’re not to far from me
this one was definitely stuck at first but i know what you mean
Plenty of parts cars and what's on your lot 👌🏼

Thats the car
the engine won't turn over because you put oil in the cylinders and the plugs in so there is no place for the oil to go. Take the plugs out then try to turn it over
Is the claw hammer for adjusting points?!?
I use a hunting knife for those lmao
I'm not surprised the engine is locked up. I know where there's a 1966 Buick Special convertable and the engine was locked up back in 1992. It was freed up then, but that car was not used and it's been sitting ever sinse. Oh, Its always been parked in the houses garage sinse 1972. It was taken off the road in 1974...

hydrolocked with oil
yup, didnt think of that at the time, that was my bad lol

Its in better shape than a Ukrainian tank... lol damn that tornado !
haha, i shouldnt laugh but thats pretty good
You should have plugs out to let pistons pump mystery oil out of cylinders.
I wasn't seeing oil moving on the top when the valve cover was off (maybe it just wasn't visible on camera) and the valve train sounds pretty noisy. Does it have oil pressure? just curious lol.
I was curious how you decided it was ever locked up? Great video, ty. I would make a little jumper wire to run to coil if you are going to be doing this a lot.
Motor would not turn by hand or with starter originally
Three on the tree I see
Hi
Just drop a small block 350 in it and drive. That engine isn't long for this world.
I LOVE YOUR CHEVYS ALL!!! THE 6CLY. I LIKE A LOT YOU CAN WORK ON THEM EZYYYY..THANKS FOR THE LIGHT IF YOUR GOING TO HAVE A VIDEO FOR US I CANT SEE CRAP ,, MOVE SOME STUFF AROUND , ITS WASTING MY VIDEO TIME..THE COVER WAS ALREADY TAKEN OFF ??? GOOD LUCK!! THIS IS BORING..
More to come!
Very Kool
thanks John
This car would be beautiful if you painted it and keep it stock. The cheapo Chevys from this time period are cool cars.
I agree!!
Take the starter off and try to turn it by the fly wheel then look up and see there and see if the clutches and stuck to the flywheel and that's why it aint turden
Finally, worthy and appropriate candidate for an LS swap.
Amen to that idea
..God, Nooooo...too many d@mn LS swaps..I know they are good engines, but so is the inline 6, and MUCH simpler...so hacking up the wiring and drivetrain with the original engine, too....
Sorry for everybody is lost
What part of Missouri are you in? Cool old chevy
Why don’t you turn it over with the plugs out
Another good video! Glad you got it unstuck! You going to sell it or keep it for yourself? If you sell it what would you be asking for it? Take care.
this one is actually pending sale to a subscriber!
Ok, definitely saw another identical car, is it for sale as well or did it get crushed?
both of the 66s i have will be saved and not crushed
