I bought a 1979 Chevrolet Camaro sight unseen. Once again it’s way up north by the Canadian border. It’s been sitting in a barn for 21 years and appears to be in decent overall condition thanks to sitting in a relatively dry environment. I do eventually get it started after some fixin on it. And of course, I have to take it on a test drive.

Let the smoke out of the PFM box at 27:11
I could see your ark on the other side of the distributor.
You can see the lighting on back of motor 27.40 up by the fire wall lol
Awesome
If it’s a hundred and seventy eight then the should already been done.
Golly, did he blowup the engine on purpose? Is burnout a test of a serviceable car?
Okay, I felt kinda bad to see a car killed on purpose, maybe I'm wrong, what should I have learned?
Derek is in rare form, these older episodes are pure gold.
Yeah you just don't seem to be as enthusiastic as you used to be maybe a break would be nice probably working too hard
24:58 I thought he was gonna start singin' "Daddy never was the Cadillac kind".
I live in ohio i cut them off to save fuel milage
I remember on my old maro they had auto theft device from factory . Rotate the steering column near the dash where a on the column shifter would be . 😂
Hell son there used to be billboards all over for Tiger Paws tires. Cool viddy!
In Ontario Canada they just repealed smog testing
A guy decided to rewatch all a fella's vidjeos. 7/1/24.
Dude safety first jack stands while under the car
reminds me of a bush party in my teens where my 1 buddy showed up with a rough running camaro at about midnight that he got cheap, like 600 bucks or something.
it BARELY ran good enough to get there 10 miles or so but as soon as we popped the hood we could SEE THE PROBLEM.
there was LIGHTNING STORMS ALL VOER the engine bay. i bet every plug was intermitantly shorting out.
a bunmch of duct tape and black tape et etc he was able to drive home
Gen 2 Camaros and Firebirds just look weird without a rear spoiler.
Fun fact : first time Derek tests the oil by tasting it in this here viddea.
So where is Bozo the clown? Pouting in the corner because your mama and papa and family finally said that they think something is wrong with a grown man insisting on keeping his goofball clown hair and embarrassing the family?
That’s a nice Camaro bro I like it a lot it’s going to look pretty good cleaned up with those wheels!
Sometimes on those ignition switches that stick. Chevys are bad for that , try moving the steering wheel back and forth.
It would be nice if you can do some older Ford's. Like a 1980 – 84 Ford, F-150 and older.
awesome job getting it running briefly. i think the burnout killed it. lol i see you have part 2 somewhere. will try to watch it. -jon
G-body behind that?
Stud
Yep, that's those GM cars fer ya. Shev it and let er lay. Rust buckets.
And you didn't check the wheel bearings, 😂
Bilstein shocks helped the ride on my stock height 90 yj, I really love running around in it. I have an 06 tj that has no interior room compared with the yj. I have the same engine they say gm hei and a nutterbypass is the way to go , or a sniper efi kit. I'd love to see you do that so I can Learn from your experience. Do the nutter bypass so I learn how to do mine. The vacuum hoses for the 4×4 are a pain mine rotted and I replaced them.
So dope! Love your videos and edits! Dirt Heads Forever!!!
Dump it!
There's a short sparking against the drinker's side firewall. Might have a bearing on the miss I hear.
Tennessee and I run without the old converter
In new zealand onley nead them if ur car is newer than a 2016
I,too, the only Jack, no stand
They actually just introduced new up to 10k€ fine for modifying emission systems here in Finland. It was mostly aimed at diesel AdBlue removals but I'm pretty sure it includes also cat delete.
Unplugged and twist tied digicals. Just the way GM makes all of their junk.
The original blue in the trunk was a good color.
I sure enjoy these.
I've never needed a GTO more than the one that was in that barn!
