    I love watching yours and Wizards videos. You got a great sense of humor if you can post this one. I thought tripping over the impact was good, then the fire extinguisher! This one is going to be a classic. Best of luck getting her going. She's a beauty.

    • @TexasChillbilly
      @TexasChillbilly 4 года назад

      Aaron Galinsky Depends on how your going to drive it, I agree if your going to be drag racing it more than daily driving it then yes, a stall and slicks is a must. But, daily driving a stalled car bigger than say 2000 rpm is a pain on the streets. We did these combos on f-body cars without a stall all the time and the 4L60 performed great on the streets.

    Tyler- hope all is well and everyone is healthy. Watching the fuel pump replacement brought back memories and made me count my blessings. Replaced two pumps in my lifetime and both were much easier. First was a 1986 Mustang GT 5.0 with an electric fuel pump.That was done in the driveway during a snow storm and required the removal of two straps and the tank was free. The other was even easier. 1978 Dodge Little Red Express Truck with Mopar 360 and if memory is correct the mechanical pump might have had only two
    bolts. These were done well before RUclips but I may have consulted a Chilton's Repair book. 😀
    That was an entertaining and informative video. The fire certainly added production value. The Wizard is amazing!

    That’s just doing anything with an lt1, you have to take the whole car apart for the little things lol, I have a 94 trans am and doing anything on it is a bitch. Headers, CAI, and a tuneup for the optispark, water pump and anything around, also good luck doing spark plugs and wires because they’re a bitch too
