My father passed away March 22nd of this year and my goal is to get his 1982 Chevy long bed stepside pickup truck up and running and drivable and along the way doing this project I could feel my dad's spirit beside me cancel my took him but his Spirit will always be with me
Jason glad you got the engine running can't wait to see it on the road. R.I.P to the previous owner. 💐🌷🌷🌸🌸 I hope you can find the sellers to show them the completed car good luck. 🍀🍀🍀
It sounds really good. Cool. Yep its a ripper. Carb was ready after an hour or so. no need to soak it two days or even over night that is waay over kill. Just an hour or two. Like the heat darkened the alluminum it will be fine. Its heat darkened or maybe the purple cleaner stained it. That would not happen if you had only run it in the ultra sonic for only an hour or two. Its really really clean now. build a littel wood shed close next to the yurt and keep your wood dry and handy for the snowy winter days.
I think it was Neil Diamond who sang, It's A Beautiful Noise. 🎉 I so much enjoy watching you bring life back to these vintage vehicles. It's an extraordinary talent. Bravo, Jason. I am so happy for you 😊 Love and blessings to the entire family. ❤
Thank You T! I really appreciate that. I been putting you and the world in my prayers 🙏🏻 Hope you are doing ok over there in Israel 🇮🇱 Stay safe! God Bless!
Super clean etches into the aluminum I have damaged aluminum soaking it in too strong of a mix of super clean and I didn't have heat maybe with the heat made it black and the way it etched was a little different The car braider could be ruined but it would make a good vide
Huge respect to you Jason! You accomplish more than most of us, even with limited resources and space. You are the poster child for making things works with whatever you have. Peace!
That's such a simple, elegant, and obvious solution. I never thought of it. My cleaner has a fine basket, but it's too small. I'll be using a can in the future. Thank you for a great comment.
Ok i was wrong. Not afraid to admitting it. I erplaced my timing gears so I just lined up the marks befor i took them off. My disbartor was al ready in . Great video.
Hi Jason,glad you got your motor to run, doesn’t mater if you go dot to dot(that is called the overlap) or firing at number 6, or crank at 12 and cam at 12 as long as crank is always at 12, important thing is that before dropping distributor in make sure your on TDC compression stroke, intake valve will just have closed, the reason most people use the dot to dot method is it is easier to make sure you are lined up accurately, but you always want to roll the motor over before installing the distributor 😀😀
That's awesome, I've learnt that on compression stroke both valves are to be closed, when on TDC, the rigs coming along great, thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones
i am follower of dd speed shop. he will admit to have blown up motors. hell he did it on the u tube infront of everyone . he is real good at body making. four doors to two doors stuff. just go for it . people like my self do not judge. you got this.
Id enjoy chatting with you by phone sometime....Car lovers, country living and living simple! The garage is bigger than the house here..... Keep up the great work
Jason way to push through the chaos of this engine great job - good content too -- I don't think the carb is hurt it but I am old school carburetor cleaner is what I used in the past having a tube cleaner with heat great.
Good video man glad you got that engine running cant wait til to see that thing cruising. Been checking out your other channel too, really appreciate the effort you put into these videos for us.
If the body of the carb is all aluminum then it is discolored from the cleaning solution. If you wanted it to shine you MIGHT be able to polish it, but if it works use it.
It's the venerable small block Chevy, I'm not at all surprised you got it running even in the neglected condition it was in. With properly sealing valves, should be a good runner. And on another note, seems like I've seen a lot of you-tubers using Pine-sol for their ultra-sonic cleaners.
Sounds great Jason and my apologies, I was one of the dot to dot guys. But I always set the distributor the way you started by feeling the comp stoke. On the number 1. Keep the content coming.
What's up, dude? I found you when you were dragging the bus out of the woods. I had a broken back, not much to do... Very interesting and it's nice to see you have something rowdy... You always have a great attitude, even when all shit fails. Keep on cranking good content ... Thanks country boy garage
The carb turned that color because the solution reacted with the aluminum it will be fine to use and Edelbrock also sells a carb that has been treated that way
Such a pleasure watching this achievement Jason! Huge congrats!!! Not sure about the carb you might have to try it out for the real test. Looking forward to the next video!
The super clean discolored your carb. It doesn't react well with aluminum. Use pine sol in your ultrasonic cleaner. It won't tarnish aluminum. The carb is fine to reassemble and use, though.
This is great; I never lost faith that it would turn out to be a good one. Like you said it would be nice if you could connect with the previous owners. Sometimes email systems are tricky and messages might show or not. You might get lucky sometime if you keep digging; they could eventually pop up. Re your living situation you got it right; back to the early American spirit. That’s what the country was founded on.
its fine oven cleaner does that to. hell you can give it u tube color change if you want. or just leave it. heat is your enemy. it can warp them a little.
Can’t Waite buddy , I’m subscribed, is there more I need to do to join the channel ????. Love the channel . I’m kinda a dumb Azz but I did start a channel Tri5 Prepper here on utube on my 56 2 dr wagon build
@@CountryBoyGasGarage I am looking for new property, new headquarters, getting an engine and trans for this ol 55 Merc soon and then the hunt for a bus starts, looking to do a 4 segment mini series with it, the overview, history I suppose, tear down and build, finale with finished results and maybe a giveaway at some point 🤷♂️ 😎
I run the chevy small blocks both ways, but if you miss it, just rotate 180% done deal..... just a guess, it's steel cam timing gear, not one of those die cast plastics. you never said, did you ever get the books, it has it all you ever need to know in them. Any time you get an unknown engine such as this engine was to you, it is tear down time. inspect the cam, cam bearings, rod pins pistons rods and rod bearings and son on. crack and crack bearings, fly by night is never been the way to roll. 50 years ago, I could buy on the cheap new power plants muscle car engine almost new and many were. 150 bucks to 300 for big blocks race ready. that shipped sailed long ago. it's way to time costly and money wise costly. verify everything before you seal it up to call it good. no more hammer and chisel....... look at how well you did with the suspensions, cleaned it all up, OEM parts perfect, so how is it the thing that makes the car actually work, why wouldn't there be even more time put in to the engine to be sure it's all been properly set up. being a DIY mechanic, all the more reason to cover our back side, or in other words, wasted money can mean less money beans at the table., 40 years in the trades. The Bless You and Yours........... Jesus is Lord. I have terminal cancer, plus there is issues with having my aorta artery has bubble in it, told it sizing up to burst, 6 and 7 is were it is heading into, game over. I figure if I have something here worth saying, better get it done now. amen. love this car project, can't wait to see you blow the rims off this El Comino. rock on brother. You will be an expert by the time you get it done, follow through other wise, it's time wasted you can never recover.
Thanks, I'm not surprised, the UPS store we have are crooked I can only suppose it was an inside job. I'll look into it. they done this twice before to us.
maybe you can sneek in and get a sifter from your wife . cut it . that way you have to go to the second hand store and she gets a better one. and your head stays round
Oh totally! I kinda forgot about that. I hope it didn't damage it. I wonder if I should change the oil to proper break in oil and do the break in procedure?
Your supporters at Sleeperdude will attest to this ultra sonic cleaner! VeVor gave one to them as well. Use it with SuperClean in it. You'll be wondering why you never got one before!❤
@@CountryBoyGasGarage you got it bro if I can clear roads and help my neighbor’s & still get 40 hours at my job. I know you can do it Bro. Lean on me if you ever need to J You are one the best people I have ever seen ! & you know who I’m friends with ! I have no doubts we all made our own way !
I don't understand this at all Every engine I ever built I time them by the marks on the harmonic balancer and NOT the alignment marks on the cam and crank That's just dumb
If you don't have your cam and timing chain installled incorrectly, then timing it off the balancer would do you no good... That's why it didn't run the first time.
Jason you're a champion - if there is a gold medal for not giving up you've won it hands down, getting that engine running was never in question.

I hope you can find the sellers to show them the completed car good luck. 🍀🍀🍀
Hey Thanks! Yeah I hope so
Nice work!❤ you will be going out to the garage at midnight just to hear it run with amazment and a big smile. 😜
Hey Thanks!
I don’t remember if I had posted it, but this is exactly what I thought. The distributor was 180 off. Glad you got it running.
Thank You!
Great feeling when she fires up and runs brother yahoooo!!!
Hey Thanks! Oh Man it does! Especially after all the trouble...lol! Take Care! Aloha!

You don’t give up and admit when you make a mistake and then show how to fix it. Respect. Enjoying this project keep up the great work.
Thank You!
Yeah she sounds healthy that thing guna move
Big milestone!
I was saying dizzy 180 out- guess I was right, but for the wrong reason.
Didn’t realize the cam gear had been monkeyed with.
Glad you figured it out 👍
Thank You!
Jason, you are an inspiration! Thanks for a great channel! I always look forward to your videos!!
Thank You!
She sounds good Jason!!!! Way to go with sticking it out and getting it running!!!!!

Hey Thanks N! I really appreciate that! 👊
Way too go Jason!!!
Thank You!
She runs! Way To Go, Jason!

Im going to guess that carb is just fine. Some cleaners will discolor aluminum.
Really glad that motor is good. I'm really pulling for this project.

Wailing on it right out the gait? If that engine has a new cam, I'd break it in before it wipes lobes if I were you.

The color is most likely from sitting in a water salutation
