We drive the 54 Chevy for the first time in years! What should we do with it?
When was this video taken??
This was 1.5-2 years ago
On May 16th 2024 we had a couple of tornados come through the area (West part of Houston, Tx). Big trees fell over power lines and at 6:35PM our lights went out. Immediately our 20kw Generac generator came on and ran day and night for 6 days straight. I checked the oil several times. On the 7th day after power came back on I changed the oil and filter. You do need to let the generator run for at least 5-8 minutes before draining the oil. Several of our neighbors wanted to know where I got my generator. I told them and gave them a business card. Being without electricity is no fun.
I bought the orange clips but no matter how hard I hit it,they dont click in place 🥴
That stinks. Hopefully, you'll get them back on.
Jesus, you wouldn't want to be in a hurry
We put it in slomo so everyone would think it’s terrible.. wouldn’t want anyone stealing our ideas! … just kidding it’s terrible
nice vedio
Damn, that's gonna strengthen the crap out of it.
I've got a vacuum hose just like that in back of my truck!
Orange tape and all?? Maybe before these tornadoes you did 😂
I've watched a million videos and no one says how to remove the big arbor if your not using the quick connect
It just unscews.
@@SparkyBuilt Damn we can get it out
Hey found ya 🤘🤘
1:13
That floor pan was eat up. Wow!
Surprised no one fell through 😂 it did have my homemade pan covering it in Florida but not before
Mine is already Freddy cougar
No way! 🤣
So my dealer told me to use 0w-20 oil. But i see many use 0w-30. In triple digit temps would seem that a 30w oil would be more suitable. Not looking for oil debates here seems these questions do that. I'm seeking seasoned owners experience. We have a six month old 14kw. Thanks fellas...
I’ve been running a 5-30 in mine since 2020 with 0 issues. Essentially at the end of the day it’s just a small engine so as long as you’re not running a 15-40 or 20-50 it really shouldn’t have a problem. Some of the newer machines may call for a lighter oil but 5-30 has been a great go to for decades.
@@SparkyBuilt TY for that greatly appreciated!
Go and get a real ax-head And put it Where the angle iron is. The angle iron have too much Of a splay .That means you're going to have bigger power. To split that block. Another thing is to successfull split that block. you want to enter about 4 inches from the bottom . It give the splitter more power.
Might have to bust this thing out of the shed and try again! Thanks for the pointers.
Get engine hot before draining oil; it'll come out that little drain tube better. Also, good idea to check battery cables for corrosion every oil change.
My tiny 87 Suzuki Hatchback has a Mustang 2 k-member and original suspension that was torch cut out of a 74. Got it for free. Welded square tubing frame rails to the unibody car. Cutting the firewall out now for an LS swap and I've got a Ford 8.8 rear end narrowed for drag radials ready to drop in.
Sounds like it’s going to be a handful! I dig it.
Allot better traction.
Thanks for this vid man. Extremely helpful I have a garage build in progress with my 8yr old daughter we recently came to a road block but u just knocked that down with this video cheers beers on me. Be well
Glad it could help.
Very cool Cougar!!! Luv those 68 Cougars!!! My ride is ready to rock on the highways/tracks and at the block party in Rockfalls after day one at Bryon!!! See you at Sick Summer!!!
Awesome! Can’t wait to see everyone there.
Niiice! That’s gonna be fun!
Indeed!
Sweet car but you can't lift it and put those ugly ass rims on it wtf!
Sweet car indeed! That’s the cool part about the car community, there’s different styles for everyone. Thanks for watching!
Black diamond so clean
They’re clean for sure! Only sad part is it’s hard to see with the front clip on
Like. A week on my trans am.
🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍🇷🇺
Thank you!
I want that coffee mug. That's awesome
😁 thanks, I kinda confiscated it from my wife!
For anyone wondering the cross hatch is for keeping the punch centered on the original mark that disappeared when the first hole was made.
Can you do a tutorial on how to use it
i'm more a beginner on body work. just search hammer and dolly work.
$38 dollars eBay part Works on Infiniti QX56 too damn 2020 only thing they changed was the plastics on these vehicles and up the price My 5.6 v8 20 years strong everything else fell apart
Best worst drag and drive event decision ever made 😂😂😂
Facts 😂
Atleast we won’t forget it!! 😂
heell yeah drive it till the paint falls off it then put some burgandy on it with silver ghost flames enjoy that puppy rock on ! who in the hell ?
Is she for sale???
Na, gotta put some miles on it and enjoy her first!
@@SparkyBuilt damn lol
Don’t ever paint this car it has character 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
It needs a little paint but we’re gonna do our best to leave the character!
put some paint on it uuugghhh
Patina is for pennies.
It’ll get cleaned up. Had to get it rolling, now we have some body work to work on then maybe a little paint. One step at a time, main goal is to drive it and enjoy it!
Thanks for adding this! I can’t open the passenger door of my 19 Armada from the outside, so I need to fix the lock. Do you know of other videos that show how to repair the lock itself? I haven’t been able to find one.
The lock mechanism is cable driven. I have a video on that. What are you needing?
cool idea for the inserts. I just got my table and have been thinking about casters. Would you be willing to send the DXF file for those inserts?
Yep, when I get to the shop later I’ll do my best to remember to do that 😂 shoot us a message on Facebook so we have your info and I’ll get them to you.
Glad I’m not the only one!
do you add the two whole bottles that comes in the kit? and also how to disconect the generator before the maintenance?
Fill it until it’s in the cross hatch on the dipstick. Turn the generator to the off position and you can also turn off the switch behind the lid.
Sounds good!
Thank you, it's running great!
@@SparkyBuilt you guys doing sick week with it?
We’ll be in the sick ward with it and we’re registered for sick summer. You gonna be there?
@@SparkyBuilt not this year.
Like it👍
Thanks!
I wish Milwaukee would make an M12 version of this that would only do 1/2”, 3/4” & 1”, for us light duty service techs.
That would be nice. It’d be a nice set to keep in the service trucks and not too big to carry around.
Hey so I did this and it works... Buuuut the driverside is backwards... I unlock and it locks, I hit lock and it unlocks... Can't figure out where I went wrong or if they sent me the wrong motor that turns the wrong way maybe?
Did you take it apart or just replace the assembly? I wonder if you can put the connector on backwards. Because you can reverse polarity on a DC motor.
I took it apart put a new motor in and put it back I thought the same way lol
I went back and watched the video. That's crazy. The motor only goes in one way, and the connector goes in one direction. Only thing I could think if the motor is wired different than the old one.
Ya that's what I was thinking going to see if I can get the old motor working and back in next weekend
@@shmee0140 yeah, just get some electrical cleaner or maybe rubbing alcohol. Did you put the worm gear on the right direction?
Sounds good! Looking forward to seeing it done.
Why does everyone hate the hei lol
It reminds them of a Chevy 🤣
I bought the Performance Tool brand from O’Reilly and couldn’t be happier for the price. $30 out the door and I have to say it did exactly what I needed and the finish was better than expected for the price I paid
Awesome!
Just bought 1 for my Olds
What happen?
Ditch the garbage HEI😢
We did!
I have 2 of these carbs on my 454. I love them.
Bad a55!
Never seen preditor carb kinda neat
