- Working to get this 1976 Chevy Luv back on the road for my son after sitting for 15 years. Dealing with a persistent miss in the engine.

How could anyone NOT love your videos ! PLEASE throw a dust sheet over the metropolitan - it looks so sad there covered in dirt ! It looks like the exhaust pipe is crushed on the bend before the silencer - that won't help - it's creating back pressure in the engine. Your nattering is brilliant - never ever change your style of making videos, they are brilliant Newt. Thanks for all you do - take care 🙂
Thank you!
My first vehicle was a 1979 Chevy love. I bought for 400$ I miss that thing so much.
Fuel filter plugging up? Dirty tank…..? Sometimes rust forms on the top of the tank from condensation. Keep up the awesome videos!
Think positive, Newt!
Got a good laugh out of the fuel cap situation 😂👍
🤣
You're so funny and kewl man lol 🙂
Also faulty fuel pump? Check/replace that to. A fuel pump, as you know, is like the heart of a vehicle in itself. Just as we all have a heart that pumps blood throughout out bodies, that's exactly what a fuel pump does in a vehicle, car or truck.
While that bed was taken off and standing upright, after yinz were presure washing it and along it to dry woukd have been a good time to spray paint black rust olem paint underneath the bed and on the underneath sides to help ward off rusting and corrosion. Then, painting the top portion of the chassis/frame part also would help to just the same to. Now in days, they have a paint on bed liner that you could also paint to preseeve the inside of the bed and keep it from being scrached and damaged to.
Hey buddy 🙂
Great video, If you haven't swapped out the condenser I would give that a try. The only issue I had in CA for my stock Luv to pass smog was the EGR valve but I would just try to pass first, or move out of CA lol. Also as long as the bed is off do yourself a favor and wire brush the frame and hit it with some rustoleum. Keep the Luv videos coming! 👍😎🔥
I put a new condenser in with new points. That didn't work so I put a whole new distributor in. I also replaced the egr valve and still have the issue.
@@newtsnostalgia I will keep pondering on it. The only other thing I can think of is a bad relay, but if you put on a weber that would be out of the loop.
Thank you, I appreciate it. I tried a different coil with no difference but I bought a new one to put on so we'll see. After that I'm down to bad ground or faulty wiring somewhere, possibly the fuse panel. I'm going to figure it out though.
New fuel lines? And a new gasoline filter can also help to. Also you want to put dry gas into the tank first to see if that also helps. Once all of that is done, the new fuel lines, gas filter, even a gas tank sending unit, and your still having problems, probably internal engine problems? Like everything else, process of elimination here.
Mine did same thing. It was dirt in the in line fuel filter. I put new one on and she purred.
I've flushed and replaced every part of the fuel system.
@newtsnostalgia did you check the wires on distribution cap? Is everything in right firering sequence? If a plug on wrong spark plug it could sputter?
Yes new plugs and wires and the firing order is correct.
did you use a can of carb clean spaying around the manifold to engine and carb base to engine? Try to plug off all vac lines at manifold and carb you may have a vac leak somewhere done those lines. do this as a test, if it fixes it... connect one at a time. could be more than 1. 40year old vac stuff could be bad. ps great job on the fuel system. smart fix on figuring out prime issue
Yes I checked for vacuum leaks numerous times and I replaced all vacuum lines.
@@newtsnostalgia could be leaky diaphragm such as EGR, brake booster, vac advance, heater valve, etc
Vacuum advance? As it warms up, the vacuum line heats up and gets soft enough to collapse
Good point. I replaced all vacuum lines but I'll check it out.
Maybe restricted exhaust?
This crossed my mind too. It feels like it's flowing well but I wonder if it might be the catalytic converter....
Your biggest problem with anything made after 1975 in California the getting it smog legal and passing emissions. Also, that you are really dealing with an Isuzu that is almost 50 years old.
Agree.
