    Bentley your knowledge to fix things is already significantly better than 75% of the grown people in the country. Great job young man. You are on your way to a very bright future. Keep up the good work and have fun with the mechanic bug. When that bug bites on to you it stays with you for life and offers amazing adventures of mechanical things. Although I'm guessing it's in your DNA and you were born with a wrench in your hand. You are on the right road with the best mentors at arms reach. Great video and good content for the channel.

    Excellent video. But most people your age that are watching this video don't understand how a carburetor actually works. Have your dad, take one of the hundreds of carburetors he has access to, make a cutaway model and have you show the air route and fuel route through the carburetor. I'm a retired Air Force C-130 mechanic. Not only did I teach the younger airman on just how to remove and replace a component, I showed them the working features of the component, I explained why we are replacing a component. The people watching your videos, are at the age where learning is at its prime. There no such thing as too much information. Great job on the video.

    Bentley, so glad to see you're bring this old LeSabre [Le-SAY-ber, you said it correctly] back to life, Such a cool example of lat 60's GM luxury and styling. A couple of things, you're right when you called it a "hardtop", the name of the missing pillar in hardtops is known in the design world as the "B" pillar. An easy way to remember it is the pillar for the windshield is the "A" pillar, if there is one between front and back doors that is the "B" pillar and lastly the pillar rear of the back door [even if it's just a 2 door] is called the "C" pillar. Something to keep in mind, the piece you pulled off the old carb and put on the new one to make it reach the fuel line is the fuel filter. A lot of these old GM carbs had the fuel filter built right into the carb, not like the inline/plastic and paper filters you're used to seeing your Dad use. In fact, on some old Carbs, the fuel filter doesn't have paper in it at all, instead it looks like a tiny porous brass puck. Think of it like a big metal LifeSaver candy, that goes in between the fuel line and the carb right at the carb. Great Job, get Mom or Dad to take you for a spin in it! Better yet, let them have you drive it around the farm!

    The fact that he knows you can handle it and have the ability is why he had you do it. Plus, he knew Theodore was there to supervise, lol.

    Bentley, the first episode of VGG I saw was retrieving the "La Sabrey" from the field where it was nearly swallowed up. I thought it was a goner. What drew me to it was the fact that I had a 1968 Wildcat that was almost identical (but with a cooler name obviously). it had a green interior and it, too, had an 8 track player-- had to wedge a matchbook under the tapes to play 'em thru the single speaker in back. Glad you like her; she's a good'un.

    I also missed what part was leaking the vacuum.
    I bet those hoses are real squishy.
    I would look forward to a video doing the rest, but the lid flip didnt happen.
    You left seven horses out of the job and it sounds way cooler with a lid flip.
    See if dad agrees.
    After winter weather, the open air is all yours without much carb icing.
    Maybe dad wants it left stock, i don't know.
    Keep up the good work, you give us confidence in doing more ourselves.
    Youre lucky to have those many cars to learn from.

    Great job! I am learning so much. And as a 75 yr old grandma I have no need for the info. But if I had to go back to high school I would absolutely be taking Auto Shop!

    You e gone from helping your dad, to him helping you. Your knowledge is expanding and your skill level is above average. Good job on the video.

    You already know more than most people with university degrees, and I don't just mean about repairing cars. What works and what doesn't, taking care to get things right, and being honest about what you do and don't know are life lessons that plenty never grasp.
    Great video 👍

    I remember my dad helping me, when I got stuck. This brings back memories of that. My dad only helped me when I really needed it and let me figure out things gor myself. He would walk me though doing it, then jump in when I got into trouble. I did it the same way with my son.

    Buddy that's awesome you took on a project on a car yourself, without much help from dad. Just goes to show you pay attention when helping your dad and your going to be a good mechanic as you get older.
