I’ve been swinging wrenches for the past 55 years for the military, automotive and industrial. I understand “do what you gotta do” and if you’re afraid to do something you’ll never accomplish anything. I’ve seen some pretty good hack jobs. They always end up as rework. Sir, I assure you there are bearings available for that application and not as expensive as you might think. Hey good luck with your project. And have fun. Keep us posted, please and thank you.

Hello, I have a 1995 Ford Escort LX 1.8 non-Zetec engine, and I have the same fault, I looked for it, ECU, ECM and I didn't see anything, but it gives me this same fault and 7 months of mechanic after mechanic and I haven't been able to do it. work, an important fact is that when you turn on the lights it returns to normal, and when you disconnect the alternator... but if I reconnect the alternator the car crashes after 5 minutes, if anyone has had this problem and please tell me It would be great, I would really appreciate it, it's my first car and my first nail... greetings from Argentina

I also had a 1965 Grand Sport 4 speed had an accident and all is left is transmission

Like the work you’re doing. I have 2 1964 Buick Skylark ‘s both are 2 dr hardtop

Updates?

White metal bearings

Its definitely the switch this happened to the same model but 18v version i found that two wires were touching having worked their way loose from impact of using the gun just tuck them back where they have a groove to slot into and jobs done will obviously have to open the casing up to do this good luck if you havent fixed it already

Great video, was able to replace my leaking evap core following along to it. But after connecting everything back up and triple checking it all, the hvac system only blows through the defrost no matter the setting. I did the blend door reset and can see the actuator moving next to the steering column itself. Any idea?

Great video, just wish you showed where you put your rubber insulators at

Could the cars original destination been Maine?? Or somewhere close? An Army buddy of from Maine had a 1987 Escort with no factory AC. No controls for it. Just a thought.

Used to have an 88 IROC Z convertible with a 5.7 manual. I parked the car with 40k miles on it. It was mint. Ended up selling it for $7,500 back in the late 2000s. Ended up finding the car recently at an antique car dealership. They want $64,995 for the car. They claim it's one of the rarest IROCs ever made, and the only one in its condition.

Wtf was wrong with a traditional drain plug....they have been fine for decades

Ok sou Fernando/Inocoop/Guarulhos SP/Brasil to com esse problema meu amigo achou e o. Rotor essa peça vermelha ela quebrou e esta oca dentro ja o de vcs tem então vou comprar e depois te falo. Mas amei a sua explicação parabéns. O meu é o Toyota Corolla Brasil 1.6 DX 1995 MECÂNICO. I LOVE MY CAR❤❤❤

do you know how they did in the past. high hanging lamps had pully system that supported them to be lowered down.. simplifie you life....

This dude is trying to low key flex he has a lift and rebuilding old schools. Smh. Just asking for attention.

Now here me out u have to open the ladder to get the structural stability it provies

As a broke, young family man my first brand new car was an 89 RS Camaro, I did not want T- tops, power windows etc., it had to have the 305 and a 5 speed, I found one in dark metallic red over black the only options listed were the V8, air conditioning (it was Florida so give me a break) and oddly enough a power hatch button, which I could have done without anyway the price out the door was $12,600.00, a bargain considering that most loaded ones were pushing 20K, I asked my pregnant with our second kid on the way if she would be okay with the 5 speed she said excitedly yes, because she would be the primary driver, but the bigger her stomach got the more she bitched about rowing her own! It was a good car and the only car that I ever paid off before trading it in

My first 3rd gen was an 85 with a 2.8 with no ground effects,steel wheels ,no A/C no delay on windshield wipers and manual locks ,windows absolutely no options other than a cigarette lighter

In 1988 there was only the base model and the IROC-Z. All base models had the "Camaro" badge on the back bumper and rockers. Yours looks to be a later 1988 since it has the 3 piece wrap around spoiler on the back. Early production 1988 base coupes had the "shorty wing" on the back. Nice car. I don't think I've seen that color interior before on a 3rd gen. Great candidate for an LS swap. I had several 3rd gens over the years. Enjoy the new project.

Buddy of mine had one just like this. It was his first car and he was 19, god knows how he got financing for it back then. It was base as base could be. V6, automagic, no options. He drove that mofo like it was a Z28 though lol. Another buddy of mine had a 95 Mustang v6, which was slightly fancier as it had power windows and a cd player. It was also the "new" Mustang and they were the hotness. They had the saddest drag races in those cars. To us, at the time it was cool seeing Mustang vs. Camaro, but looking back it was 90s era v6 vs v6 and both cars were slow. Still fun times though. I'm almost positive that both of those cars got repoed at some point. I know the Camaro did.

Build a 383 and have a light weight stripped down street/ strip car. It looks way too nice to go back with a 2.8.

A good candidate for an LS swap. I don't say that very often but no drivetrain in it so might as well. Should be a ripper with a 5.3L in it.😎👍

The reason the nose was loose on the car I suspect is because someone attempted to steal it off the car at some point while it was sitting. Luckily they weren't successful, it's in good shape!

Here is my 67 V6.

I would leave that little 64 stock. Drop a HEI in it and some dual exhaust remove the heat raiser and you would be surprised.

Running incredible!! Had one in 1988 and valves were SO LOUD. Not so in this vid! If you see this message, are you still riding it?? Man the engine sounds perfect in this vid. Thank you!

What did you do to start a case with Ford? Besides the ford truck forum

Wonderful thanks a bunch for this.

Do you still have info on this truck or how you got this started. I just bought a 47 KB 1 with the same motor and trying to get it started.

Thanks very useful video appreciate it you rock man

There’s a 92 Ranger for sale the body is in great shape but patina red paint kinda looks pink right now. Great to see this one lifted it looks very cool. I have brand new 33x12.5 bf Goodrich I now have nothing to put them on. I woul have liked to seen how you got yurs to sit like that I really like it a lot. Thanx for sharing.

Thank you greatly for this video . Your video , was exactly what i was looking for . Your door installation looks good . Do you still have your Vette . I bought a complete ten piece body kit for my ' 90 Convertible about two weeks ago . The kit came off an ' 84 . The doors have the Ferrari Testarossa style panels . The panels have been professionally installed with Vette Adhesive, that is used to attach the full front clips , on the C3 Corvettes . So , taking the panels off the doors , aren't an option without destroying the body panels and doors . When i received the doors , there wasn't any windows , regulators , etc. Everything has been removed. I'm having to take everything , from my ' 90 doors and put into the ' 84 doors . The ' 84 does have the 4 ribbed crash bar in them and they are very heavy bare . They probably weigh at least , 60 lbs each . Your video is a great help . Wish you would have made a video of the installation , of the regulators , windows, etc . I'm mechanical inclined and will figure it out . I also plan on cutting most of the crash bar out of the ' 84 doors .

You got a bad switch most likely

My man! I guess you solved my problem too. Thanks a lot. Just watched your video from far far far land called Bangladesh. Thanks again. ❤

Same problem... thanks you so much ❤❤❤

Awesome find, very nlce car. That is my favorite year Skylark. Turbo the v6, see what the older one can do? But truthfully that st300 transmission is what makes that thing gutless. Bolt a 700R4 up to that would wake it up a bunch. But definitely that 401 would be way more funner with a 700R4 bolted to it.😎👍

Please share more info thanks!

Why are the splines so small for all the torque????????????

Whats a dual job like that going for now days if you don't mind me asking?

Had my Badlands for 6 months and love it!

You are da Man! About 4-6 hour job, or more?

Frogs have hair?

You just saved my life, I have been researching for two days watching videos and looking up old forums and nobody showed the clutch plate on the cover like that . Fixed my simple mistake and now it works again

I have a similar issue with a Big Bend 23. It’s been extremely frustrating that they can’t find anything wrong with it. I saw in a comment you got rid of it already. Did it ever happen again? I currently don’t even drive mine. It had 2K on it when it did exactly what you described. The service techs did the exact same steps yours did. Driven it twice since then and it has rough shifting as several others described. I’m about to pursue lemon law but the fact they can’t find anything wrong with it makes it impossible to actually claim.

Hey did u drain oil from both the oil drain bolts? Pan is split by the 4wd shaft

This video is a goldmine. Thank you for pointing out the differences between the two doors. I am in the midst of replacing my early (85) C4's doors, and was eyeing up a pair of late model doors... it is nice to know what the differences are. I wonder, though, what with the late model door being lighter, is it possible that it could not end up needing the door support? When I install mine, I will see how the door sits without it before cutting it up. Regardless, thank you immensely for this video.

Can you prevent the 2.6 from blowing a head gasket? Or is it always going to happen? Are these strong haulers?

My 82 Camaro head to air filters in addition to two fuel injectors please be careful with those Crossfire injection systems they can catch on fire

Arg just got 2023 like 4 months ago. Please don't tell me transmission issues are a problem
