I really miss my old FJ Ute, thanks for your channel
My dad always told me to put a thin smear of grease on a radiator hose! The old bugger knew what he was on about then!
Yes to the will it starts...there's heaps of US ones but bugger all Aussie ones
Great to see the old dear going again !... really good viewing...
One of the best Aussie channels on UA-cam love ya work Rob
what a good bloke to have living next door
You really cant kill a good old Holden. The red sixes are my favourite . So simple but so many ways to play with them. and an old one will always start.Thanks Rob. Love the channel . New subscriber.
There are a few red motor reminders here. I miss the HQ-HZ engine bay where you can climb in and share the workspace with the engine when the back gets a bit stiff. With the rocker cover washers, somehow there always seemed to be one which would escape and evade. After you took time out and ratted a replacement from a wreck, the missing one would re-appear.
One of the best designed cars ever in my opinion. Smash them into something, just unbolt the front and swap it out. You can do a six cyinder clutch in under half an hour, and everything is easy to get to. When I had my first workshop (1986/1996) these cars were a major portion of our work load. I drove a HQ Kingswood ute for 20 years, it had a186 in it when I took it over. It wore out a 202 next, and after that I put a tired 253 in it and then a 308. Good times.👍
@@robsshed The Western Australian Police were trailering a damaged HQ sedan to shows and exhibitions for a while. The front of the car was absolutely annihilated almost back to the firewall. The cabin remained intact. The purpose was to demonstrate that had the driver been wearing a seatbelt, he would have survived.
Rob, more like these please looking around the paddock I reckon you’ve got plenty of content to film doing revivals 😅👍🏻
No worries there, these two videos have been the most successful for our channel. We do have a bit of material in the wrecks here, and since I we did the first video I have been noticing a few old vehicles around the district. Stay tuned plenty more to come. Cheers Rob.
Old holdens never die. The 186 is one of the best red engines holden ever produced. Awesome video very educational.
The sound of the holden red motor brings back memories!
At one time the sound of Australia, GMH had 80 percent of the market at one stage. Every street in the country would have the Holden sixes running back and forth. I have four brothers, when we were young and travelling we would count the cars going passed the other way that wern't Holdens.
Think I've just found a new favorite channel nice work
I like the body style on these Holdens. You're versed quite well on these.
Great follow up video. I’ve told all my car mates about the channel. Fingers crossed the channel grows and we can get the content you want to deliver
Thank Mate.
Bloody beauty mate love to learn from these videos. Thank Rob for putting these up. 😀
There she blows! Brilliant entertainment and a testament to those Holden engineers who designed the red motor.
Really enjoy your channel mate 👍. Real experience and it shows.
Loving the videos, your Stromberg rebuild video really helped me out!
Very good video, I’ve recently purchased a 67 HR Prem, 186 engine, they are a joy to work on, but always a learner and you give some great tips and advice, great to hear from someone who has a lot more experience on them than me, cheers 👍
Rob & family..
I stumbled upon your channel today. After watching a couple of shows I hit the like & subscribe button without hesitation.
So awesome to see Australian content, your set up and knowledge.
I hope you guys get a bucket load of subscriptions moving forward and look forward to the next video.
Thanks again 🙂
🇦🇺🦘👍
Sounds sweet and the LSD is mint!
Theres something satisfying about watching an old engine being started after decades of sitting
It was a really good feeling to hear this one start to settle down after only a few minutes of run time. After seeing the "high tide" rust line in the intake you wouldn't have expected it to sing as well as it did. No real tuning either, I didn't pull plugs or even clean the points. Thank you for watching and being part of our youtube community, much more to come. Cheers Rob and Deb.
@@robsshed whats the plan with this one, rebuild and drop her into something else? Hopefully most of the good bits like the head, block and rotating assembly can be cleaned up and reused, I'd love to see these old girls kept going for future generations
We will reuse this engine. At this point in time I have a few ideas floating around for what I would like to do with it. I would really like to keep this engine and transmission together as a unit. Just trying to decide where it's best going to be put to use!
Cheers
Rob and Deb
@@robsshed perhaps a holley sniper EFI set-up down the track if the budget allows and if you're interested? I've seen a few of those on other old school engines but none on a Holden 6 so far..
I have always had in the back of my mind building a red 6 with 3.8 Ecotec electrics and injectors hung on it. And just a throttle body instead of a carburettor. Drill the manifold and bung the injectors into the ports. Should be a good thing!
Glad Ive subscribed to your channel mate!
love the cars and turek
well done.......played with this stuff as a young guy,,,,,,great to see the old girl spark to life.....
Love the video, has helped me fix my 186 a little bit, but not enough to get it going. One of the rockers was off the spring, the engine just wont fire.
learnt to read from an FJ service manual in preschool???? LEGEND.
As they say every kid has a currency, my parents knew what mine was that book was just too tempting to not know what the words were. I still have the same book.
Great videos. Looking forward to more. The sound of that Holden engine running is fantastic. Cheers guys.
Top effort, that was groovy to see the old banger eventually move yet alone run.
Great work Rob. This is literally the first 1hr UA-cam video I have ever watched. Kept me entertained thr entire time. Please keep emparting the little tips of wisdom as well as that knowledge will otherwise get lost over time.
Thank you for the feedback it is greatly appreciated. Cheers Rob and Deb.
Daly gmh routine lol, well done btw
Well done Rob good show.
yesss another aussie motor head content creator(s) you may need to rebuild the carby.
lol you complain at only 70 or so bucks i made 3 cents last year on my channel lol; keep up the great work and your channel will grow to a point where you can semi retire from what you are currently doing.
We are about the same age (opp sides of the country) and I was a broke fitter/machinist that could never afford to buy anything to keep my old Holdens running, just cobbled everything to keep them going. I'd get one running well and sell it to buy another clunker and that's how I could afford to eat (had 24 Hk-t-g's over the time). It's amazing how little is actually needed to get them running again. My newer cars now can have the slightest issue (usually electrical) and they refuse to run (I'm still talking early EFI pre-2000). I have an FE that I can start any time without complaint even years between starts. I've just started restoring it after 35 years of ownership and one day it will run again if I can afford the now expensive rebuild cost of the parts (that used to be easy to get and cheap). I have followed your channel for a long time and this content is great but your repair stuff is important too. You now have a great mix. I don't care how long they are, I'll always watch the lot, sometimes a number of times. Cheers.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experiances and for the channel feedback. Old Holden parts have gone past rediculous in price, and yes it pushes the build price of our projects way out there. A car that you have so much history with will be well worth it in the end. Just out of curiousity what body style do you have? The first car I owned that actually drove was a FC ute paddock basher, and I have always wanted a nice road going one of those. We will continue videos with a spread of topics and fields within the automotive spectrum. Cheers Rob.
@@robsshed I have a 05/57 FE Special sedan in Maroon body with Etna White roof with 58k genuine miles on it and am the second owner. I expect the cost to restore will be largely driven by the parts I can't make such as engine components/seals and interior trimming, paint fluid, and wear items such as brakes. I intend to even make replicas of the master cylinder reservoirs (or at least try). I'm anticipating $5k tops. But it won't be concourse. I don't need to source missing parts due to it all being original and present. Thanks for reading. I appreciate your instructional and history filled content and style. Your knowledge is invaluable and broad.
Great video! Thanks Rob and Deb
Nice work. 👍
Crazy Bush-(or should I say paddock!) mechanics stuff! I was a bit worried it would light up with all the petrol and sparking. Good job.
Fire is a constant risk, and not to be trifled with. Being a cool day and using fuel that wasn't that new reduces the risk. Carburettor fires usually can be extinguished easily by cranking the engine, pulling the flame back under the throttle butterfly and closing the throttle. Becomes second nature after awhile. Bigger blazes can be quickly put out by quickly flopping a rag down over it. The speed of applying the rag pushes the air out of the way starving the fire. Guess you can work out how I know this. Cheers Rob.
Thanks
Job done
Nice work Rob! The sound brings back memories of my Dad's HR wagon when I was a little tacker.
I bet you also remember the sound the door hinge makes too. Glad to bring back a memory for you. Cheers Rob and Deb.
Had a 202 in my old hj wagon - blew a hole in number 2 piston on the way to work one morning - drove it all the way to work and back home again about 20 miles 😂 grabbed a 173 of a mate for $50 and swapped them out in around 3 hours - not a lot of power but that 173 ran for the next 2 years and was still running when I sold it 😅😅 great video you’ve got a new subscriber here and I’m gonna recommend all my mates watch you - cheers from Tassy
Jolted my memories here, I have owned many, many, many tired Holdens, and have limped many of them back home with all sorts of ailments, from broken rings, holes in pistons head gasket to bent push rods. They all managed to get me back home. This was the flip side of buying cheap clapped out cars, just because the had a few months rego and "that could be fun to have".
Cheers Rob.
Great work Rob, putting that spring clip back on with the carby still attached in a paddock, they're hard enough to do on a bench, you've got steadier hands and better eyesight than me 👍
brilliant
thats really good to see, you should pull it out and see if you can get it to the point that it could be just driven around your yard
Thank you excellent 😆👍
Great vid Rob - love your work. Have shared your channel with my car mates.
Thank you for that it is appreciated.
Unbelievable rob I know how you must feel nothing beats the feeling 💪
She was a bit stubborn, but given the high tide line in the ports no surprise really. It is always good when they come to life. Cheers Rob.
Glad it now runs on 6, seeing as all leads are attached
The lead was removed deliberately in the first video. The intake valve was stuck open. If the lead was on the the air/ fuel would ignite in the cylinder and burn back to the carburettor each compression stroke. Sometimes you need to be a bit creative to get these things to run. This was one of those times. Thank you for watching and being part of our youtube community. Cheers Rob and Deb.
@@robsshed missed that then 😆
bravo...video vue de la france...
LOVE THIS. Saw the last one as well. Subscribed immediately. Also love the nuggets of knowledge through the video. Looking forward to watching your previous videos.
G'day John.
Thanks so much for your comment, and for subscribing to our channel.
These WILL IT START videos are a new thing for us. It was a fun thing to do on father's day, and has been so well received that it will become a regular part of our video routine.
Thank you so much for your support. It is really appreciated.
Cheers
Rob and Deb
First time viewer here, your getting I got recommended today and I'm impressed loving the live footage style videos and also you explaining what your doing makes it easier to follow
Thanks for taking the time comment. Welcome to the Rob's Shed community. We try hard to give quallity advice to everyone from newbies to tradies, and in a format that is easily followed.
Cheers Rob and Deb.
I have been working on on Toyota ot have much knowledge of holdens but I would like to pick your brains and knowledge on holdens
Hello Rob, It would be great if you could do a video clip about putting a rebuild kit through a Holden Stromberg single barrel carburettor. No one has a video clip about rebuilding an old Holden Stromberg carburettor on UA-cam - ask me how I know this!!! It is like it is a black art that very few people are meant to know about. Thank you for all the tips throughout these videos. I have a 1977 LX Torana 202 red motor that has been fitted into a Series III 109 Land Rover. I bought a couple of the Stromberg Accelerator Pump lever clips and they are now worth $6 each. Kind regards Lionel
That I can do.
Rob you need a 9/16 open ended on the carby 😜👍
19.34 spot the old Pioneer amplifier, they were a good unit in their day
2:02… makes my eyes water at that stay wire.. line worker here 😂
Is there a problem with it?
Next door neighbours problem if there is.😉
Well it moves.
Eventually.
Pull the rocker cover off and hit the valve with a hammer it works. While it's running
That is a handy tip, I have done this in the past, but it will only work some of the time. Thanks for sharing. Cheers Rob.
@@robsshed no worries. good thing about the old Holden's easy to work on .if you ever broke down there was always a Holden in someone's yard or paddock.excellennt channel
We used to use penitreen Rob
I have too, back in the day.
It's alive.
He was Wright when you wad to take the hose was easy to get off
Gday Rob and Deb
Im just a small youtube channel and ive found doing short videos eg (youtube shorts) has bumped up subscribers
But with your knowledge mate try doing some more how to videos that are in that 5 to 10 mins
Just some ideas mate take it easy
Worth a try for sure. Thanks for sharing. Cheers Rob and Deb.
Screwdrivers make poor punches unless they have the metal bit outback , but still have an hero pair of a philips head & flat that I bought from the hardware section small in a food Woolworths up in Darwin decades ago & still use them now every time preferable despite tons of others . . tough ones , one orange the other green pleasing to the eye colours & seeming indestructible despite initial cheap price & being used as punches a few times
Robbo from Busso working on old GMH's. Gotta love it.
I love the simplicity of the red 6. Would I be a mug to swap my blue 308 to a warm 202 in my wb statesman?
Dunno about ditching the 308, I have built many a tuff street Holden v8 in my time so I am rather fond of them as well.
@@robsshed wouldn't throw it. But with fuel atm would be ok. It's a matching # 84 with 176kms on it atm.
I was wondering if the trans was a traumatic or a powerglide. Trimatics seemed to last forever.
If you didn't beat up on them every time you drove the car they did work very well. I have been inside many that died from old age with very high mileages. I have also rebuilt many low mileage boxes that had seen abuse. I still like the trimatic and would happily have one in a car today. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Rob.
Disconnect pipe off petrol pump lift it up with manifold and carby
All so cut the line in the middle and join with hose and clips
Actually i wanna know is there have jobs to do like this it may be help to me ?
Funny how Young Spark Plug Changers ( we wont call them Mechanics) wont work on a car that has got a Carby! Not Joking!!
I was in the first group of apprentices back in 1982, to learn about this new fangled stuff called efi. Having grown up on grey and red Holdens I found the efi concept an interesting field of study. The efi 4.1 Falcon (Bosch L Jetronic system)had just come out so this was the engine and workshop manual we worked from. Strange twist to the story a few years ago met a bloke who became a friend, and turns out he wrote the workshop manual at Ford that I had learned from. Small world.
Prefer to work on a carby any day of the week 😁I guess it’s what you’ve grown up working on that makes them seem a lot more simple 👍
Needs restoring
Wanna sell the Gemini
We have one the same that is on the road, the wreck is here for parts should ours be in an accident. So at this time no it is not for sale. Cheers Rob.

You really need Rachet spanners, save you a lifetime! Spend the money on new tools buddy!
Sadly soon all combustion cars and trucks including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-(
In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025
on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Car washs will be forbidden too because they are climate killers, now they want to slow down all the gas station pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime. (BABVVEN & TEBBVEN & BEFVO laws)!!!
What a waste of time
Just goes to show.......Jesus IS watching.😉
I wish u had an external microphone, very hard to hear your commentary, just saying,❤️🦘🦘🦘
Hi Steven. Thanks for commenting. We do use an external mic, and as far as I know, the sound comes through well. I've just played it back again to confirm, but we are not having any problems with audio. It can be turned up quite loud on my mobile phone as well.
Cheers
Deb
