    You really should put some Delo or Rotella in that older engine, much better for them, it doesn't have to be a diesel to use that oil, the zinc is a big plus.

I am new to restoring and I really don't know what I am doing so I can use all the help that I can get. Thanks for sharing.👍👍

    • @bustyrandit
      @bustyrandit 4 роки тому +2

      Sadly that happens a lot with Chevy trucks from 73 to 80. the hood springs are too strong and after years of being opened and closed, they finally bend there. If you're lucky enough to have one not bent, you can get a renforcement kit from J C Whitney, least you could. Nowadays, you could take 2 strips of metal and do the same.

    • @FangBlah

    • @Burnside1905
      @Burnside1905 Рік тому

      You don't just pull down on the 73-80 hoods. You push back, and then push down, and if you don't the hood will bend. The hoods were designed to crumple, so if you were in a wreck it wouldn't come back into the cab.

    Okay so you described in the beginning of the video that the carb is flooding the engine and you still decide to always keep pumping the gas and you kept going wide open. Like I'm surprised you didn't hydrolock the engine. I didn't like how you kept on forcing the engine to stay on..like I believed you just got to chill out you you don't know how to drive a standard transmission in general. Your gonna kill the starter. You didn't even give the engine time to warm up. My father isn't even that aggressive with his k20...I thought it was just harsh for the poor truck.
