Sale status: SOLD! For the record, we've had tons of great fans respectfully enter the shop as well, so thank you to those who knock! Always love meeting our fans!

I would never just walk into a shop that has an attack Mook😂

I know absolutely NOTHING about cars or engines...but Kevin's lecture on how the stuff works in the engine....I'm glued to my screen and loving every minute of it! Thank you for the 101 lessons!

The deep creep was actually rated as the best spray lubricant for getting bolts unstuck on Project Farm. So yeah it's really nice stuff. Awesome that you have a whole box

Honestly, i kinda love that car. It has so much potential and specifically isnt a mustang/challenger/over done pony car. Dude, you have to finish this one. Old school style.

Had a chance to meet you and Mook in Champaign on Power Tour. I had thanked the two of you for your videos, guidance and inspiration. I completely forgot to thank you for your service to our country! So thank you very much for your dedication. God bless.

Who tf just rolls up someone's shop door and starts popping hoods? Am I becoming old, or is the world a clown show? I am, and it is. Thanks for explaining timing in such detail. That really helps!

I cant believe someone would think its ok to just come in your shop and make themselves at home. I really appreciate the hard work yall do, thank you.

I can’t believe people think it’s okay to just walk into someone’s shop. Lol that’s insane.

I laughed my ass off when Koda was pooping in the background right after you said she poops everwhere

I enjoyed both episodes, thank you! Personally I prefer to see the struggle as it’s more realistic and relatable. You usually learn a lot working through problems with old cars which to me is part of the fun.

Needs to be said again and again; you sir, are an excellent teacher and got a really good way of explaining how things work.

Honestly don’t give up on that car that car is actually a beautiful piece of history and it just needs a little bit of love I would love to see a series of you getting that thing running right

I use Vaseline, and I pack the entire pump full, all the spaces in the pump and in-between the gears, plus fill the filter. Never had a problem with the pump immediately building pressure

Kevin, I’m a bit behind on some episodes but let me compliment you on your “tech” teaching abilities. You are epic when it comes to explaining how these systems work and interact. Thank you and keep up the outstanding videos.

hey , ive been watching you since the beginning and ive never really commented but your demonstration of the timing was on point , ive learned alot from watching you man ! keep up the hard work

I hope someone gives this car the love it deserves.

You may have to, unfortunately, put some big "go the eff away" sign on the door. Also, if you don't mind putting in a little more money into the place, you could put in a magnetic door lock with a keycard or keypad. I would love to drop by and just hang out and help out with a project you have but, I understand that you can't be friends with everyone. It's practically impossible to do. And there are insurance concerns. If I had a professional business that wasn't youtube related, I'd have to have a customer entrance and an absolute "no entry" into work areas policy because people suck and they like to sue for a stubbed toe. Somehow, I think people see Hoovie's Garage and think that his ability to walk into a garage and help, or just stroll into the work bays is normal. It absolutely isn't. And people shouldn't think that youtube videos from certain creators is how normal life works.

Hi, I just found your channel, you are working on the second love of my life, ...the 215 Alum V8, ...back in '76 I was building a copy cat '72 Gapp & Roush Pro Stock Pinto for bracket racing at Famosa Dragstrip pushed down the 1320 with a blueprinted Boss 302 with their "special" heads , ...then my second daughter was born and that ended my drag racing endeavors. I then turned to my second hobby of dune buggys, ...I fabricated my buggy from 1 1/2 inch roll bar tubing and dropped a 215 in it, Muncie 4 speed with a Ford 9" rear end, ...after spending $10,000 in the engine, ...balanced and blueprinted, stroked it 5/8 inch with a crank from a 300 Olds making it 265 ci, treated rods, Arias floating pistons, special ground cam, ported heads with larger valves with matched intake, Holley 4 barrel, ...using everything I had learned from drag racing and building Ford engines (and $10,000 was about the same price as the G&R heads), raised up the crank center line like in the Altereds and dropped the pinion angle a degree, ...she was a wheelie monster, ended up having to move the four link rear axel back some, which helped a little, but still had to add some weight to the VW front end to hold her down, and with the long arm, at idle in second or third, nail it and she would bring the front off of the ground. I was ready for the dunes, Oceano here I come, buggy weighed in at just over 400 pounds and the speed shop that did my engine work calculated the engine to have over 380 HP, ...which back in those days was a lot of ponies. Pontiac and Buick also used the 215 for a couple of years, ...they offered a four speed car with a Muncie 4-speed and independent rear suspension. Thanks for the memories and letting an old man rant and relive some of the best times of his life, ...I've subscribed and will be following you in this project with enthusiasm.

Mo breaks, Mo problems amirite? Send it full throttle

I cringe when I think of the people that would just walk into your shop and make themselves at home. Probably only children that never heard the word no before 😂

Man you have more patience with rando's walking in than I would, I'd be pretty damned annoyed. Southern hospitality only goes so far, haha.

Kevin worked so hard on this and was so hopeful, only to have his spirit crushed when he tried to drive it around the yard. Still a great video though!

My grandfather was a mechanic in WW2 and we had one of these in the shop with the same problem. His quick solution was to pull his car up beside it and simply pull the oil pressure senders out of both cars and add a tee below each sender. Then he ran an oil hose from his car to the engine with no oil pressure. He added 3 extra quarts to his engine. He then drained all the oil out of the engine with no oil pressure. With the drain plug out he started his car and timed how long it took for his car to pump 3 quarts into the other car. Then he put the plug back in added 3 quarts back in his car. He put 3 quarts in the engine without oil pressure. Started his car then started the other car and let them both run a bit. Worked perfect and we always did it after this demo. He said when he was in the war they would use a chevy truck with an oil line to heat up air cooled plane and tank engines on the front lines. He said they just left the drain plug out and poured the oil back in the truck engine. With planes he said they had a hose from the drain plug back to the truck engine. Makes perfect sense once you think about it the hot oil heated up the engine with no anti freeze. During the war stuff was pretty frantic and he had lots of neat tricks.

I can’t believe you have to tell people it’s a private shop. That’s just common sense but it’s 2021 and that stuff is hard to come by lol.

Lmao.. I can't believe people do that.. beyond disrespectful.

Great job explaining timing, vacuum and carb adjustment. I always appreciate the lesson 👍

Get simply safe as a sponsor for a while so they can outfit your garage with some security.

Fun seeing you in Champaign, IL! Sorry I was such a spaz I got nervous lol. All the things I wanted to say came back the next day

My grandpa has had a 77 Oldsmobile sitting in his garage for ever. I'm 17 and just seen it for the first time in my life when he pulled all the junk off and took the cover off. It looked brand new besides a few small ripples in the back quarter panel from being hit by stuff in the garage.

Absolutely my favorite channel! Your explanation of dynamic compression finally made me understand why my 59 fury wouldn't start! Thank you for your service, and your time to make great content!

48:20 It sounds amazing right up until the moment it quits 😂 Edit a year later: Came back to rewatch this and realized I missed something amazing. You've had some great opening moments in videos, and - let's be real here - some not-so-great ones. This one by far takes the cake. DOGGO!

Brilliant explanation of the timing of electricity to the spark plugs. Thank you. This is one of your most helpful videos, at least for my edification. Thank you.

it's nice to watch someone who goes trough the proper steps in starting something thats been sitting for years . A little trick for you , roll timing marks up too desired timing ,connect test light too the coil , then move dist around till points open u will have initial timming

Had to pause the video because I ordered a pair of ear buds. Thanks for the recommendation! Love the show!

Yeahhh, be waiting for it. That thing looks pretty badass.

Mook, you don't need to cycle the key on an old car. You can keep it in the run position and go back to start a hundred times no problem.

I really like watching you guys fixing cars. I'm learning a lot from you. I'm not a mechanic by any means but some day when I find an old car to fix up I'll have your videos to guide me.

Thank you for adding the technical details into the discussion, and at an understandable level. My dad did a great job of teaching me *what* needed to happen with an engine, but not always *why*. Thank you for filling in the blanks!!

A whole generation of folks that haven't had their boundaries adjusted with a belt

Am I really the only one that noticed the pup pooping in the background right after he had just mentioned it poops everywhere at 1:10 ?????????

Well, good sir, I do declare that I actually did enjoy this video. As a matter of fact, the shitshows are often more entertaining because of all the stuff that keeps going wrong and the happy knowledge in the back of your head that it's not happening to yourself 😂

I was about 4 or 5. My uncle Ron was working on his red f85 ragtop. It was late fall and chilly. He had the garage door shut. Grandpa found him slumped by the man door. It was hours too late. That was 55 years ago but the shot of that old Olds tailpipe spewing exhaust into your shop at the 27:30 point brought it all back. Everybody crying. Gone? Died? I tried to understand. Please use an exhaust hose. Glad you turned the fan on. Unlike some of the others, you generally show safe practice with proper jacking and making sure the vehicles actually have brakes and reasonable tires. Love the channel. You should teach auto shop in high school. Stay safe.

Absolutely Love that car!! Some of those around 63 or 64 that had the 330 ultra compression did had a 4bbl 4 speed. Dad had one, he bought it from the original owner.

Hey Kevin & Mook, love the content guys . Kevin, I appreciate the way you take the time to explain things in layman's terms. And, I agree people need to stay out of the shop unless invited in. Keep up the great work guys devoted fan BUT not stalker lol. Have a blessed day guys.

My cousin was a Chinook helicopter engineer in the US Army. I think he still services them now in the civilian sector. He took me on a tour of one once on the airfield, and we got to remove some of the service covers! fun times!

I'm an old ASE master mechanic living here in Ottumwa,I enjoy watching you.You're not like a lot of them,you're intelligent.

Also .. being that the balancer is so old .. make sure the rubber on the balancer is in good shape and not dry rotted .. and haven’t walked forward or backwards a little. I have the dial Mac one and love it. Don’t get to many “old timers” … but when I had to do my buds old 5.0 Ford .. came in handy. You need to get that olds running correctly lol. She sounds sick.

I loved the tech in this video! Finally learned how to use a timing light

Thank you Kevin for serving its awesome to see other Veterans

Nobody else noticed the dog taking a dump in the background at 1:18, while he’s explaining oil pressure. Literally right after he talks about it shitting on everything, everywhere! 😂😂😂

I love videos like this because it's realistic. So many times I've been wrenching all day and ready to sell it for pocket change lol

Don’t give up on it. It’s so close to drivable. It would be a waste to quit now.

Did not know you served. Thank you for your service!

Tyler's forgotten mopar rescue, thunderhead 289, and Kevin here on junkyard digs are all three a great source of understanding and adjust and tuning of carburetors!!

Thank you for the video. I hope you decide to continue working on the car. I believe you can bring it back to roadworthy status. Additionally I always learn from watching you and your team. Thank you again, and keep up the good work.

Definitely recommend buying a gasket maker set, my father has had one for years and with that and a roll of gasket material you never worry ab out finding weird gaskets, you just trace the old one on the material and punch it out.

At the beginning of the video you were complaining about your neighbor’s karaoke, I can just imagine what they say about the loud car’s in your shop. LOL Especially when you guys run open headers😆😂🤣

Hammering on those valves took me back to that satellite revival you did with Thunderhead289 a couple years back! I loved that series

I was always taught to check timing FIRST before messing with the carb and "idle screw". Guess that was just a simplified way of how you do it lol

Yessssssss finally I’ve been waiting for part 2 on this baby

When I was a kidI worked with an old timer who had zero use for a timing light! He would set the timing by feel and by ear! Results were impressive! Once in awhile if it pinged he would set it back a bit! Same with dwell meters. Never used one. He would set points gap by eye balling them. He had a unique quality that allowed him to grab spark plug wires without the shock bothering him. He took a special delight in charging up condensers and leaving for one of us to pick up!

In 1972 I had bought a 1963 Pontiac Lemans that came stock with a 4 cylinder and 4 bbl carb. It looked exactly like they cut a V8 in half. It was a crazy looking engine but it ran decent. It looked pretty much like the f-85 . Thanks for the memories 👍

Great show, bubba! I feel bad about some peoples' 'inconsideration'. You and Mook were absolutely a highlight on Power Tour for us at the FH shop. I hope you guys are doing well, and KEEP IT UP! We love ya! -Vic

I love the lines of the car, don’t give up man.

That timing explanation is really helpful! It was exactly what I was looking for! Please keep up the tech talk it really helps out guys like me just learning!

At 32 minutes when the camera went to the Exhaust I liked the way it sounded call me crazy lol. It's just a nice Exhaust over all I think. Tha😊bks for the info 💪🏽👍🏼.

I have never been so rude as to just walk into someone else's garage, or yard even, and just start acting like I've known them forever. Now with you guys, I would stop by to say hi, but I would also ask if I can help in any way with whatever you're working on. Hell, I'd ask if I could clean up things for you so that you can just keep working on your projects.

I really like the looks of this car. I never heard of one of these before.

46:18 the sarcasm is beautiful here Haha

My first car was a 1962 F-85. It had the aluminum block 215 ci V8 and an automatic stick shift on the floor. It was a quick and fun little car.

People gotta stop thinking youtubers are their friends. You don't know these people. They definitely don't know you.

Never matters what video I watch, you always teach me something new Diggs! Thanks for all the information.

Please ! More MOOK & Kevin Team Work Videos ! Kevin Thank you for Serving !

I can't really articulate why, but there's something I find intensely beautiful about seeing old cars restored to their former glory.

1:15...dog is literally pooping.

If you got it running right, you would love that car, garon-damn-teed

Lmao... at 1:12 dog is popping a squat in the backdrop 🤣

you poor man ! I can assure you that quoting insurance issues will immediately stop people from entering shop areas. Works well and isn't difficult for fans to understand and at the same time will keep guests safe and protect you from law suits. I love that car so much dude! i want it badly.

Should have bought a carb kit while you're in O'Reilly getting that master cylinder

Youre complaining about neighbors singing, neighbors are complaining about loud cars....

Anyone notice the shop dog doing it’s business around 1:20 😂😂

That was one of you best tech videos on Ignition and timing . Way to go!

Hell yeah, I have been waiting for this episode of come out!. This is Bill from Houston

For those of you who communicate in memes Kevin said “get out my room I’m playing minecraft”

LOL!!!! in the beginning of this episode after you talk about your dog, you can see him taking a dump in the back ground!!!! I'm still crying !! LMFO!!!!

That car is a downright BEAST! DO NOT let her break you! She is like a wild stallion that needs taming. Get on her.

If I had the cash I'd totally buy that. It's a badass looking body style and would make a spiffy rat rod.

Sorry had to comment again, love them F85’s awsome episode guys

You need a compound. Or maybe set up guided tours during the off season/hours. Maybe an exhibition of all the cars in a big parking lot somewhere. There’s 2 good revenue streams for you

Somebody has messed with that B&M Quicksilver. I bought one new in the late 70's and installed it with a stage II TH 350. That Quicksilver worked absolutely flawlessly! If I had reason to buy another shifter I'd find another one.

Love these poorly lit episodes!💓

Mate you should be a teacher the way you explain and how you show what things happen is a talent that should not be waisted, the lucky person should you ever decide to have an apprentice to teach your ways.

Kevin… so stressed out. Life is short. You’re great. Relax and have fun. We like watching whatever happens. Work on the cool things. 😊👍👍

Great explanation of tuning. I'm going to put the methods learned from this into practice. Now I think I know why I am getting dieseling sometimes. Thank you. I can't understand why people think it's ok to just walk into your shop. I have had a similar experience as well, only once though. I have had a "fan" outside my house opening the door and looking inside Ol' Green. I went out and confronted him and he didn't see the problem. I didn't know him and didn't invite him to come on my property and open the door to my truck so of course, I yelled at him. He left and yelled back"You're mean, I'm unsubscribing!" I have had some come and knock on the door and was glad to sit and talk with them and show them around. I even have met people at the gas station or the store and am glad to talk to them. That's fine, in fact, I love that, but don't just invite yourself in.

Heeeyyyy keeev!!! Love the content

Front disk brake conversion & a Holly. Also, I’m wondering why there’s not more lubrication to the rockers - dry as a bone up there!

Lol the puppy is so adorable at the beginning Kevin @Junkyard Digs

I appreciate that it’s kind of kicking your butt. I think it’s style is unique and it could really be a badass ride. As rough as it sounds, it kinda sounds good too. Maybe I’m just a masochist. :)

I'd love to know what goes through peoples minds when they just, willy-nilly, walk into your shop and just start having a gander. That's not how life works.
