Was Great meeting you guys. The kids where stoked to see themselves on tv...
Thanks for the carb, Nate!
That’s super cool
Thanks again Nate!!
So cool that you guys were able to help! I have had a few people help me out on the side of the road or at a few car events (Just went to the car show, broke down in the parking lot!). I returned the favor just as many times. Meet a lot of really nice people that way.
So awesome some fans could help out!!
Kevin I just wanna say thank you, you’ve taught me basically everything I know about cars and engines over the past few years and you’ve inspired me to start doing my own revivals, just again wanna say thanks and keep up the great videos.
I've worked on cars and small engines most my life im 40 and still learned stuff from this channel.
Subscribed so fast I think I broke my thumb.
@@Gkitchens1 Thanks haha
@@GasGuzler duct tape and zip ties fixes everything lol
20:30 this revival moves
What a great team. Kev and mook. Love your shows. Yes im an old man . But you kids are fantastic
at some day a new generation takes over, everyone was young once and now this generation starts to work on the older stuff. at least some young people take interest in these kinds of things. I absolutely support your opinion.
Hey Ron you forgot about Jesse. He helps them out quite a bit.
@@hollowpoint357sw4 your right. There all great kids. Bet they dont like being called kids but to me they are .
That was a fun episode, Kevin - thanks!
If I might make a suggestion about driving relays: rather than running a permanent ground to the coil and a live feed from the switch, do it the other way around. The coil gets a permanent 12v (or switched from the ignition circuit) and you carry the other side of the coil to a switch which grounds it.
The big advantage there is that you don't need to carry an unfused live cable through bulkheads, and if the control/switch wire does short to ground all it does is turn on the relay. (Also, it's often easier to find a convenient ground in the cabin than a suitable +12v).
that's the way I generally do it as well.
This is the way I was taught as well. Plus, it doesn't kill your ignition switch because less chance of a back feed to the ignition. The one doing the work here would be the ground side switch.
Very cool to watch the troubleshooting process with the carbs. Sad to see that it wasn't the issue at all but at least that part is out of the way. Hopefully you can get that distributor figured out and get the timing set properly.
I was a 52D in the Army, (now 92D) generator mechanic. I learned more about relays in 10 minutes from you than I did in 3.5 years in the Army. I understood how they worked, but as to why they are important was never explained. At the time though they were trying to get numbers up for the invasion more than they were trying to teach anything.
13:32 along with your relay, it's a good idea to have a in line fuse between your relay and the battery to provide short circuit protection
Also, you could run the ground from the relay, over to the temp sensor. This way whatever degree the temp sensor is set to, it will ground out, triggering the relay, thus turning the fans on. This way you do not have to worry about a switch or anything
resettable circuit breakers couldn't hurt...js
Kevin, I had a distributor stuck in the block of my 77 F250 (460). I got it loose without too much trouble, you should try this!
Run the motor, and let it get up to temperature. With the engine still running, take a couple of cans of air duster, turn them upside down, and empty the liquid co2 onto the stem of the distributor right above where it goes into the block. Once they're empty, the stem should be super frosty. Grab the stem tight at the bottom with a big pair of vice grips and tap it firmly in each direction with a dead blow hammer. The temperature difference should let it loosen up just enough to get a hair of movement. As soon as you see it budge (even a tiny bit), shut the engine off, spray it down with penetrating oil, and keep working it back and forth. The tiny bit of movement will get bigger and bigger - keep adding oil and hitting it in both directions!
Or use cans of freeze spray in the upright position.
"You're driving a Kazoo". I laughed so hard my ribs hurt. 🤣🤣🤣 Good one, Mook!
This just made my week. Have had a stressful week and this is making it so much better!!!
Normally open and normally closed refer to the state of the contact when the relay coil is not energized. The relay you have has both n.o and n.c terminal
Aka, a single pole, double throw (SPDT) relay.
Yes "normally" position is when it not energized as in no power to the relay coil
Correct
Open circuit no power closed means power.
Keep in mind fans and all inductive loads have really high inrush currents. They’re basically short circuits when initially turned on. The rule of thumb is that the start current is double the running current. This is a problem for the contacts in the relay, they’ll get burned up over time. You need to use very chunky relays and or use one for each fan. You can get factory fan relay modules from late model stuff too.
A 75 amp relay would be good for this application.
Diode the load.
Hey Junkyard Digs, I'm from sheboygan county when you need truck parts you usually have to wait a day to get parts shipped from another store down south. Also our roads are washboard up here well get a new road three years later its junk. Keep on keeping on and love what your doing with the channel
It's awesome seeing relays explained so well in the automotive world, they are beyond useful and as someone going to engineering school it frustrating seeing people not utilizing them when they could simplify things so much.
Completely agree on "don't get cancer & die." Another outstanding episode of how to have fun with cheap rigs. Hope you film on the Badger because very few people get to cross a big lake on a car ferry anymore. That boat is older than I am [69.75 years] and is a legendary vessel on Lake Michigan.
The relay discussion at 10 minutes is worth its weight in gold. Just like every carburetor breakdown you ever do. Nice work, Kevin. Thanks, man.
When you start messing with relays it is a really good idea to draw a circuit diagram before doing any actual wiring. The system quickly can become hard to keep straight in your head and then you can leave the drawing with the car to help troubleshoot later if you have issues. Bonus points if you label the parts.
I'm so glad you guys decided to work on and revive this car lol it's so ridiculous.
@17:50 comedy gold. I must have watched this and laughed 10 times. Love how you and Mook just laugh at veh fighting back.
Yeah, it got me wondering if the power steering was from out of a Lincoln Incontinental.
You can get relays with BOTH Normally Open (NO) and Normally Closed (NC) contacts (double throw/DT relays), and relays with more than 1 independent set of contacts (Pole). On my 47 Oldsmobile when I added turn signals I wanted to use the park lamps as turn signals, but also still work as park lamps. So I created an XOR relay logic circuit to do that. 1 DPDT (double pole double throw) relay with the coil driven by the park lamp hot, 2 SPDT (single pole double throw) relays with the coils driven by the R and L outputs of the turn signal switch. Basically the relay contact wiring is like a hallway light switch pair where both switches control one light. I feed power into the wiper contacts of the park lamp relay then feed the NO of the 1st pole park relay to the NC of the L turn signal relay and the NC of park to the NO of Left, then the Left wiper feeds the Signal bulb. The right relay connects to the Second pole of the park lamp relay in the same way the left connects to the 1st pole. It has worked great for a couple of years now.
Where feasible it's nice to switch ground on relays and other loads...That way if your switch wire ever rubs through on the body or chassis your car wont catch fire or blow fuses, you'll just have whatever is switched stuck on...Also you don't have to look for a hot wire in the cab and worry if it's constant power or ignition switched (though sometimes it's nice to have things turn off with the ignition and switching positive has it's advantages in that case).
Yeah,i'm kinda wander - is a k.i.s.s. way better,or your's way,the smart way.....
Added a like just for the effort of the long post. Lol.
You can also use a relay to make a positive switch a negative instead edit for clarity. You can make a positive source switch a ground instead of positive switching positive or negative switching negative like a toggle switch
Kevin I've been following your channel for a couple of years now (Old man from Denmark in Europe). You're an excellent teacher. Your little piece on relays in this video is a good example of this.
May I suggest, that you find/hire someone to edit small 'short' videos from your existing videos - explaining such concepts? I believe you have enough of that type of content to edit an entire course, and sell it - for instance via Udemy or some place like that. Or you could just add these small short explaining-videos to your existing channel.
The point is that very few CZcamsrs can match your talent and abilities. You teach well. And it's a shame if it remains hidden in your excellent content.
I like how Kevin explains everything so everyone understands it.
This video was educational and hilarious I love the talking tech since I always learn new things. It was hilarious because I have never seen power steering pee out of the top of the cap like a fountain before? Plus the kazoo noise had me laughing so hard I was crying. I loved Mook's comments her random corkiness always adds to videos.
I am looking forward to part 3 I hope you will let Mook drive the car.
Keep up the great work your videos always make my day
Oh, yeah,that sound!!!
I heard that kazoo noise soon as I read your comment 🤣
@@dickdickums5409 when Mook said it that automatically triggered that sound in my head from childhood
@Matthew Hurren no I use to have one back when they were popular years ago I remember the sound
Hi there. The Badger replaced the Milwaukee after she sank
Make sure the back gate is down. Love your videos.
Sweet Battlelack is back Great videos Kevin as always @Junkyard Digs
I love it!! Nice video! Can’t wait to see the Caddy on the dunes!
Mint. Wasn’t expecting this. Just finished the 2 am shower after refreshing my brothers 1989 Yamaha jet ski trailer. The angle grinder vibration is still in my soul.
Oh, that old Ford Squeal. Every pump, every Ford. It sounds like Home. :)
Man, I love the look of this car. Of course it's nuts, but somehow the proportions are just right and it works for me.
It looks like a shitty assed station wagon
Honestly, I've been looking forward to this video Great revival!
[14:16] You will want a fuse on the load side of that relay :)
You also want the switch to be a ground trigger too no?
And also on the switch circuit. Always fuse all the things.
@@gogmorgoaway Yes, though that's probably taking power from an existing fused circuit under the dash in this case.. but you'd definitely want to make sure.
Your videos always me make me laugh and learn new things, Thanks Kevin Mook and Jesse for the good videos!
Switching from the Edelbrock to the Holley made the car sound a hell of a lot better
You know why they're called edelbrock don't ya? Because that's the sound you motor makes when you touch the gas pedal. 🤣🤣🤣
I’m sure it had nothing to do with taking a old messed up carb off and putting a brand new one on.
@@FishFind3000 Except they wound up installing an old/used carb with its own issues as the "new" one was used & broken.
I feel like Jesse should’ve been wearing a hazmat suit to remove that headliner lol
Thank you for the explanation on relays been using them for years and never quite fully understood how they worked
Most standard automotive relays can do both normally open and normally closed depending on what terminals you use when wiring it up. Really convenient when you want to have one relay pull double duty for example.
I want to love Edelbrocks, I really do, but every single one of them I've ever tried to run I've wound up selling and using something else...hands down the best carb in my fleet right now is a factory 1972 Rochester Quadrajet that was professionally rebuilt by a local circle track racer, it's been dead reliable for 4 years now with zero maintenance or tuning...I've had issues with Holley carbs in the past because of their stupid float bowl adjustment nonsense constantly getting stuck or leaking, but that's likely because they're old and abused and a rebuild kit won't save them at that point...
Man I wish I had the time to get my buggy ready and make it up the day that you guys would be there... but if you all have a good time and plan for another trip please let us know in advance and I would love to meet up with you guys and show you some real sand fun..
You guys are so fun to watch!! Please keep the content coming 😁
Mook is right! Not only is this the most hilarious looking vehicle you've worked on, it's also the funniest SOUNDING one (at least with the musical Holley on it!).
I started watching as soon as I was notified. I'm glad to see more of this thing. You guys always make my day and i like seeing you guys up to more shenanigans with these revivals. I will say this car is very comedic with the way it squirts fluids and makes funny noises. 27:40 it sounded like a Bald Eagle in a movie😂
loveing this series! odd question the ferry doesn't think you are asking about a commercial truck/trailer? 450 sounds like a commercial rate.
could be a more specific process for any trailer.
Badger is kinda pricey for cars as a normal car is $140 one way and each adult is $65
I was gonna say as I live in Manitowoc the ferry is pretty pricey
I can't wait to see the next part of farming with abandoned equipment guys! I'm always dying of laughter watching em 😂😂
Oh geez. That power steering pump taking a piss actually made me launch a cigar from my mouth with laughter.
So Kevin is spot on with the relay, the big reason to use it, especially in the situation for running something like electric fans that run high amps off a switch, is that alot of switches wont handle that amperage and will burn out, i know this from running that exact setup before without a relay. Lol So the relay is perfect to not run high amps to low amp switched and ext.
except its better to switch the ground on the relay...and you only need to run 1 wire into the car
@@sak01 Thats an awesome idea.
Oh man that meat looks so good I will have to check out Good Chop thanks Kevin You always have some awesome Sponsors @Junkyard Digs
I love every video, the tech you include is awesome. believe me, I've learned a TON from you. Please keep up the amazing work. All of you here on the channel are great and I love the entertainment
Thanks for your content. Going through some tough times and these make me happy.
Two good episodes in a row. My hunch is carbon buildup on the pistons.
GM used to make a product yo.pur through the carb with the engine about 1500 ram.
My dad used water from a pop bottle, but I always feared hydrolock.
Looks like fun on the dunes. Keep the (relatively) shiny side up and the greasy part down.
We always did the pop bottle and trickled water into the carb at a medium rev. 👌
i think it’s a little bit of that and a little bit of shitty gas causing the pinging. bet if they put some 93 in there it would settle down a lot, maybe completely if they’re lucky.
My uncle used transmission fluid down the carb ..smoked like hell but cleaned the carbon out Great
@@midnightrunner684
Never heard of that but that's ingenious
The Baddilac is the greatest name ever.
Thanks for the explanation of the relay!! Great info.
That was fun riding in the back seat on the test runs! I think your commercials are really fun too. Funny and Fun! Best wishes!
I love the revivals and content u have. Keep up the good work. Also I wonder if switching plug wires on dist will help with the pinging just move them all 1 location
In case anybody is interested the noise that power steering pump made is very bad it is the power steering pump bearing eating itself. Fun fact you do not have to ever hear that noise after repairing a power steering fluid leak. All you have to do is Jack the front end of the car up so both tires are off the ground, now jump in with the engine off turn the steering wheel lock to lock 25 times back and forth. Do check the level I've been dropped a lot put some more in stairs back and forth a couple more times and check the fluid again. Now that you have bled all the air out of the system started up and it won't make a single noise and you'll have good power steering.
Lol that sound isn't the bearing going out. And the car has to be running to bleed it lol
Nah my ranger did the same shit it would foam up had to be off and cold to put fluid in idk why but it's the way she was
@@varus113 your full of it lol the pump supplys the rack 🤣 😂 it can't do that without the pump spinning 🤣 😂.
🤷 drove it for ten years that way
@@varus113 you didn't bleed it without it running lol.i mean and idiot would have to believe that nonsense lol.
Great vid , you is getting there , thanks for sharing 👍
love the revivals. keep up the good work.
I love how you and Mook involve Jessie in your videos.
The EGR was needed back then on those engines to hold combustion temperatures down...but that reveals itself at speed/temperature,. That much spark knock at low rpm is very likely fuel ...lean will backfire
I'm impressed with you all this is much appreciated show to learn from.Mook is much appreciated assistance with lots of Smarts on machines.
was so excited to see another video let alone the 4x4caddy hell yeah
Another great video!! Will Mook be doing any more work on the Nova?
Hell yeah, been waiting for this one.
I was watching your video, with my phone next to my computer... You said, " OK Google". My phone heard you! LOL! Thanks for the great video!
I’ve been waiting for this video!!! I want to see that thing run and drive(IF POSSIBLE). This is gunna be good!!!
It's 3 am but I'm not missing this video! Keep up the good vids 👍
It gets really fun when you have a 5V push-button driving a 24V relay that drives a 480V contactor that closes a 23,000V closer.
Man, I really enjoy your videos. Been binging a little over the last week or so. Solid content brother. Good Stuff.
I like to say I love watching your videos. U do a lot of kool stuff. I love to have the caddy 4x4. Thanks for all the stuff u show and break down for us
Excellent video Junkyard Digs Kevin :) , Mook :) , Jessie :) and you get that CadRat 4×4 fix up better soon and got faith you all work on it too!
Thank you for explaining a relay. I've had people explain it to me but could never grasp the concept. You've explained it perfectly thank you.
Its always good when Jesse is involved!!! Cool video.
Always enjoy your video episodes! Humor with many educational topics, you guys rock! Love the Battle-AC!
Let's gooooo!! Been waiting for this!!!!
12:52 Your relay is both NO and NC. pin 87 is NO and pin 87a is NC. Great job on giving a visual display for others though. Seeing things make it much easier to understand.
Best explanation I've heard of a relay!!! Thank you
Hey team, I really like the education I get from yu, I have been fixing broke things since I was 12 and am now 65, I still learn from you Kevin, thanks.
Looks like the car ahead in the point standing . It's still given some issues. Buts it's running and drive able. Thanks for sharing and have a great evening 👍🏻 👋
2:33 Imagine moving in 10 FPS all the time. Hahahaha
theres a rare thing known as natural funny,not forced humour and Jesse and Mook are just beyond that ,Jesse is just the icing on the very best youtube channel ,much love and respect from Australia
Couldn’t stop laughing at the engine whistle!!! So funny!
Consider bringing it back lol! 🤣
god i love these revival vids, much love
Great content, great video. Thanx!
yea buddy! cant wait to see it in action
Always save the videos to watch on saturday morning, nothing better than waking up, drinking some coffee and watching your videos
Another great episode, thanks.
That is the coolest rig ever! Dune Runner, Urban Assault Vehicle, just perfect!
Great explanation on how a relay works, Kevin. Thanks 👍
Can't wait for part 3 guys!
Great Job and a great Car , saw the first part an wanted to see the outcome..just Luv that Beastie..
awsoem video kevin cant wait to see this thing in the dunes hell ya makes me wonder if the 4 wheel drive works lol thumbs up and shared
Good video, I'm looking forward to part 3.
Talking about relays... my 86 burban had a 6.2 diesel. When the $400 glow plug controller gave out in thE woods I jumped it with a wire that almost melted when doing so. Lol
So when I got home I ran 12g wire into the cab to a horn button to run the glow plug controller. AFTER I found out I run a huge fire risk, I then used a starter relay instead. 👍
Them sand dunes looks like a blast have fun guys @Junkyard Digs
I want to come over for dinner after seeing your grill.
Dunes were less restricted in the 80's Think of the Grand Prix, Grand Prix with flags.
So much effort went into this.
Thanks Junk Yard Crew !!!
Fantastic. I look forward to episode 3.
Great information on the use of relais! That's always one of the first thing I do on my old cars. Makes a big difference on head lights too. I never knew those numbers on the relais are an international standard, I always thought that's a german thing only (e.g. 30 is permanent power directly from battery, 15 is ignition, 85 is ground on the relais coil, 86 positive on the relais coil and so on...)
I actually want to see more of this Cadillac for some reason I feel like it could be a really cool off-road toy I hope to see more of the Cadillac in the future
Thanks for that explanation on relays. I've understood what they do, but I guess I never thought about how they do it.
always fun videos to watch and probably one of the best audio as to what pinging sounds like. my vote on your pinging issue is either a balancer that has slipped and not reading properly or a severly worn timing gear and chain set. i had a oldsmobile 350 that for the life of me i couldnt get running properly until i timed it by how it sounded when i finally tore down the front end and the timing set was so broke downand worn it was showing about 10-12 degrees out of wack and i could almost remove the timing set by hand.
looking forward to seeing the dunes. haven't been down that way in years.
