picked a bunch of vw engines along with a 1968 vw bug, in this video we go through all the parts to see what we have and try to start one of the engines that were in the building,
You gotta love to this day V DUBS still one of the most popular cars. Still holding it down after all these years. My favorite part of being a member of the best Car Club in the World, if you ask me is us VW family never trash VW ANYTHING! Yes from time to time the Old Lady has enough of tripping over VW parts and forces a liquidation of them but whatever it may be you can guarantee it has a new home and won't be lost and wasted forever. If it's rusty and has a VW on it, it's perfect.
BLC is short for Brown-Lipe-Chapin Co. Starting in the 1936 they made headlights, bumpers, and hubcaps along side Guide Lamp Corp. They both had heavy association with General Motors and eventually became divisions of GM.
Cool 13 here in Northern Ireland family owned lawnmower business, have 4 vintage lawnmowers huffy caprice bolens 1050 with 2cv engine wolf garten cart and a john deere 68. All very hard to find out here, also my dad said 4 years ago my granda threw out 8 huge crates of vintage engines etc, I found two of them hidden in our scarpwayrd
Hi Mustie1 Like your no nonsense videos I'm not even a big beatle or vw fan but from your dads camper to just the cars engines you find there's allways something interesting i also have to agree with you with the beatle convertible your welding might not have made the purists happy but it kept a lovely car on the road for another few years keep up the good work John
Oh man, when you hooked up the power for the first time and tried cranking it, it reminded me of my grandfather's old Ford 9N tractor. It had a six volt battery and sounded just like that! Memories...
I found that removing the plugs and putting a squirt of engine oil in the cylinder and cranking it, then putting the plugs back in, made it much more likely to start quickly. It temporarily improved compression. Try it!
Brotha, I'm sure you don't see yourself as a "celebrity", which is one of the things that makes you great... that friendly humility, but you're quickly rivaling Mike Rowe as my top "famous dudes I'd like to buy a beer." Love your common sense approach and the way you talk yourself (and us) through things in your garage... reminds me a lot of my own approach... with the exception of the fact I don't have the luxury of telling folks I'm making a CZcams video when they catch me talking to myself 🤣 At any rate, thank you for so freely sharing your vast wealth of knowledge in such an easily comprehensive way.
V.W. bit the dust in my part of the country because of emission testing, I drove a 74 Thing that drove me nuts trying to get it to pass emissions, Horizontal engine configuration left hydrocarbon emissions too high for state requirements. Before emissions killed them I had a dune buggy (6 volt electrical system) that I drove the beaches in Mexico, had implement tires for flotation and gave 30 miles to the gallon. Sure miss the ole days
I have learned a lot of great tricks from watching your videos, my favorite being the squirt bottle of two stroke fuel. My go to trick, but one I haven’t seen you try, is to use a propane torch to clear flooded plugs and get some heat into them. I am not sure why it works but it does
Loved my '57 bug. Bought it for $350 in 1969. Even a clutz like me could keep it tuned, which was a must. The carb manifold would be coated with ice as it idled to warm up. Had to have that new exhaust, what was that called? Wide wheels and tires. Later put Porsche front brakes on it. Such fun.
Sometimes you win....sometimes you.... but when I listened to it in the beginning I thought it was rougher than many you have cold started, I see how I'm gonna use my jumper pack come spring.
Hi Mustie, what you called a "sway bar" is actually a unique VW feature and is called "Ausgleichsfeder" in German. It works exactly the opposite way a sway bar does. It makes the suspension of the outer rear wheel softer when taking a road curve, thus somewhat reducing the risk of oversteering.
Dang.....I get physically worn out watching you try to start engines. I'm in my seat moving my whole body back and forth rooting for every engine you try.
another great video mustie!! that's a great vw haul!! I've got a beetle myself, and love seeing other people love the hobby the way i do! keep em coming!
The horde grows larger...that was quite a score. Yes we want to see the bug on the road again. It looks like it is in good condition at least on the outside.
Mustie, you need a Buffalo Pitts stationary steam generator. You hook it up to a 12 volt generator and channel the heat from the funnel through flues to heat up the average Atkinson winter day in your workshop.
Mustie1 and New England VW enthusiasts, wanted to share with you all that the Connecticut Terryville Volkswagen bug affair will be brought back this year. Fathers day june 17. Look it up. looking forward to it returning. Btw, nice score on vw hoard!
Extra nice haul you two (Mac says as he drools over his keyboard). Thought for sure you would check spark after you cleaned those points. But it was about to rain (on your parade - haha).
nice bug ! the oil cooler on the back of the shroud never was a great idea being it heating the air that's supposed to cool the cylinders ! square back window bug sizes are 58 to 64 , 65 to 71, 72 and later pretty sure. the round bowl 30 pict 1 is a great carb and pretty sure 67 only ! have fun ! that bug looks like a runner !
hi mustie 1, i love watching your stuff, i can so relate to what you are up to, me and my son are doing up a baywindow 1979 camper, i'm john in leeds, uk. wish i live round corner from you coz i'd be one of those mates forever borrowing lol, i've retired now and i enjoy watching
*What i like to do is that situations is, on the end of my fuel squirter, i put a windshield wiper squirter nosal on the end of it so it send a mist of fuel and not just a stream.* Helps A LOT in situations like this. On a fresher engine or a better tuned one they both work fine.
Mustie1...some info on blc lights: What is B-L-C? In 1936, as Guide continued to grow and expand, the Brown-Lipe-Chapin Co (B-L-C) was named a plant of Guide Lamp Corp. The Syracuse, NY company turned out lamps, bumper guards and hub caps for GM's eastern section of the United States. I only know of this because of it's ties to syracuse.
Seems like it was only hitting on 1 to 2 cylinders. If the only problem was that one spark plug lead disconnected, I bet it would have started. Anyways, congrats on a fine parts haul and what appears to be a very straight '68 bug. Hope the underside looks as good as the body.
Mustie's somebody wrote a message saying a plug wire is not hook up know you can't see it I would have used my brain to send some waves your way but to far from where I live did give good memory's of starting one in cold weather with plug wires not hooked up had a 69 that use to play tricks on me in the 70's then I figure it out woe !! After the smoke cleared and all those donuts , pizza's yeah Orange Crushes thanks enjoyed every minute !¡! : P
*Mustie1* that Scat stickered engine is a runner! Excellent video, these will it runs make my day every time. I have a giant spread winged jet hood ornament, weighs probably 5 lbs, anyone know what it's from? I look forward to all your videos, keep them coming Mustie1
You're killing me Mustie1 not seeing that plug wire off (I was sure you'd notice it). I'm sure we'll see the great revile and startup on all four cylinders. ;-)
What is B-L-C? In 1936 the Brown-Lipe-Chapin Co (B-L-C) came into being. The Syracuse, NY company turned out lamps, bumper guards and hub caps for GM's eastern section of the United States. The four varieties of headlight for hot rods are model numbers; 903-J, 904-A, 682-J, and 682-C. All use the standard 7" bulb with the three prongs on the back. Similarities over all the models are the trim ring, bulb retainer ring, and threaded mounting stud. Over the years there have been minor changes to these parts. But they almost always interchange over all the different models. Differences are the obvious headlight bodies, and the riveted on lower mount. 682-C & 682-J share the same basic body shape, but 682-C has the parking light mounted on top in an indent stamped into the metal. Wiring is also different over the model lines, with exception of 903-J & 682-J which share the same basic design. While 904-A and 682-C have unique wires for each of their parking light component. The earliest buckets had wire sockets underneath, rather then the loomed wires exiting the housing that is most commonly seen. Paint was always black. A chrome trim ring was an upgrade from the painted one. 904-A was the only headlight model, that I have observed, that was chrome optional from the factory. But the majority of the 904-A were still painted black. Tags (pictured above) were not on the very earliest headlights. Before tags, bodies were stamped with the the maker's name, model number, and "MADE IN USA". ALL riveted on tags were silver (nickel) color when new. The brass ones you might see today have had the silver polished off. Tags could also be made of aluminum, the one second from the top is one.
when you get one of these running, you could totally make a jump cart out of it using a big battery, a bass competition alternator, and long set of cables with a big anderson connector on one end. it would be quiet too since this engine is big enough that you could just put a big pulley on it and run it a little above idle.
I like the plug wire just sitting there. You get consumed and excited to start the engine but forgot to put the plug wire back on spark plug. I've been there many times with something like that then just look at it like "you dumb ass" meaning me, lol
Don't get me wrong. I saw one of your videos that had like a quarter of a million views. Only 2 percent of the people who watch admit to liking it. Then there are the people who give you a thumbs down! So I'm thinking that people watch shit on CZcams because it gives them something to complain about. Please help me with this I'm confused 🐒
I get emails when you upload new videos. I love them! Even though I have no clue what you're doing most of the time. You remind me of a channel I also follow, Jafromobile. You and Him are a lot alike. :)
Of course it will. It's a bug engine. One of the best little engines in the world. And cheap and easy, and fun to work on.
Nothing better than a will it run episode. 👍👍

Yes Yes Yes....another fine vid from Mustie1. Thanks for sharing your journey with us, its always a good time.
Hi Mustie1

Oh man, when you hooked up the power for the first time and tried cranking it, it reminded me of my grandfather's old Ford 9N tractor. It had a six volt battery and sounded just like that! Memories...
I did not hear what you payed for this haul,(as if it was any of MY business)! And what a haul it was! Car + parts= heaven! Thankz
Your videos are informative and relaxing to watch. Thanks for all you do.
How can you dislike this, when it’s like reviving a dead person. Every time Mustie gets one going again a smile just happens naturally !
I found that removing the plugs and putting a squirt of engine oil in the cylinder and cranking it, then putting the plugs back in, made it much more likely to start quickly. It temporarily improved compression. Try it!

An engine that wanted to run more than this one I have not seen. :>) Thanks, Mustie.

I haven't a powder blue bug in a long time. Gonna be nice to see you restore it. Happy Valentines day Mustie. Love the videos.
Love seeing those old engine starting :D

I do believe Mustie is in VW heaven!!!!
Now this is the Mustie1 I love watching!! Much respect sir! 😁✌
B-L-C stands for Brown Lite Chapin. And you're correct. They were for GM cars and trucks.
Actually Brown Like Chapin
LIPE. @#$%$€@% AUTO CORRECT
Sometimes you win....sometimes you.... but when I listened to it in the beginning I thought it was rougher than many you have cold started, I see how I'm gonna use my jumper pack come spring.
Wow, what a nice find of parts, engines and a Bug! I had a 71 Super beetle that was this color.
We were all willing it on for ya mate.
That will go. Not far off. Good vid. Good find.

Hi Mustie,
what you called a "sway bar" is actually a unique VW feature and is called "Ausgleichsfeder" in German. It works exactly the opposite way a sway bar does. It makes the suspension of the outer rear wheel softer when taking a road curve, thus somewhat reducing the risk of oversteering.
I dunno why, but I love these resurrection vids-especially the vws(I’m a vw nut). Looking forward to hearing that engine come to life!
Dang.....I get physically worn out watching you try to start engines. I'm in my seat moving my whole body back and forth rooting for every engine you try.
I just checked about the B-L-C Head lamps and found a "Hot Rod Disorder, Guide to B-L-C Headlamps. PLEASE keep the videos coming.
another great video mustie!! that's a great vw haul!! I've got a beetle myself, and love seeing other people love the hobby the way i do! keep em coming!
Wow! What a great find! Be sure to adjust the valves. After a while out of the car, they are sure to be out of tolerance.
Looking forward to seeing if those engines do start up.....well I mean when you do get them started you always do.
Looks like some vintage Gene Berg dual carb linkage! Nice stuff!
Greetings from Denmark. Too bad it did nor start mustie. can’t wait for your next video. 👍
I can't wait to get my hands on one of these Beetles. Preferably with the smaller tail lights and teardrop decklid. Oh my.
Ho Mustie you are the greatest you are the king of mechanics.
Must be a dragon! She's spittin' fire at 16:04! Love it!
The horde grows larger...that was quite a score. Yes we want to see the bug on the road again. It looks like it is in good condition at least on the outside.
bug is the next video
Mustie, I like your determination.
Mustie, you need a Buffalo Pitts stationary steam generator. You hook it up to a 12 volt generator and channel the heat from the funnel through flues to heat up the average Atkinson winter day in your workshop.
Mustie1 and New England VW enthusiasts, wanted to share with you all that the Connecticut Terryville Volkswagen bug affair will be brought back this year. Fathers day june 17. Look it up. looking forward to it returning.
Btw, nice score on vw hoard!
great news, thanks
Extra nice haul you two (Mac says as he drools over his keyboard). Thought for sure you would check spark after you cleaned those points. But it was about to rain (on your parade - haha).
Giving Roadking a shout out, good on ya!
H cases are '67-'69 1500 Single port. Great score on those early ('64 and older) popouts!
Yes one plug lead was off, but it did show signs of life :-D
It needs fondling a bit more by you lol :-D.
That rusty one looks rather ill.
i bet that rusty one still has some fire in her blood
Why was it dumping white smoke? Is that like a mixture of unburned gas mixed with some slight exhaust from partial ignition?
tarstarkusz in this case you are right in some other cases it can mean that its burning alot of oil and this one might be a little bit
+Wolf... Thanks. Doesn't burning oil produce a blue tinted smoke?
tarstarkusz sometimes but mostly just clouds of white smoke
nice bug ! the oil cooler on the back of the shroud never was a great idea being it heating the air that's supposed to cool the cylinders ! square back window bug sizes are 58 to 64 , 65 to 71, 72 and later pretty sure. the round bowl 30 pict 1 is a great carb and pretty sure 67 only ! have fun ! that bug looks like a runner !
That engine tried so hard to start thanks i wanted it to run so badly i was rooting for it lol.
Always look forward to a mustie1 video!!!!
Hope u continue with this, love seeing u bring scrap back to :) life
You need to change your diet.
Too much carbs.
- Eddy
I love these will it run videos... I know your wife and neighbors love it too lol
Great barn Find... Nice, Tons of spare parts..
Yeah it usually helps when all the plug wires are connected. lol
A lot of good parts there. Cheers.
hi mustie 1, i love watching your stuff, i can so relate to what you are up to, me and my son are doing up a baywindow 1979 camper, i'm john in leeds, uk. wish i live round corner from you coz i'd be one of those mates forever borrowing lol, i've retired now and i enjoy watching
Wow, what a great find, and some really useful stuff.
Love the revival videos !!please. Make videos on the vw fastback
looking forward to more garage fun
The cliffhanger resumes, thanks Mustie some serious treasures
You are my inspiration to get a bettle
Awesome finds and awesome videos.
I'm drooling over your VW gold lol..
Gotta say, Mustie is just a little bit more than grimly determined.
I told told Brian that you guys got a nice load of gold. Now I know who to call when I need parts for mine. LAter -Ed
*What i like to do is that situations is, on the end of my fuel squirter, i put a windshield wiper squirter nosal on the end of it so it send a mist of fuel and not just a stream.*
Helps A LOT in situations like this.
On a fresher engine or a better tuned one they both work fine.

I only know of this because of it's ties to syracuse.
insighful information. Thanks!
These items could not have went to a better home , Rock On VW Mustie1

neatly the truck is full 😉
Nice addition to the hoard
Seems like it was only hitting on 1 to 2 cylinders. If the only problem was that one spark plug lead disconnected, I bet it would have started. Anyways, congrats on a fine parts haul and what appears to be a very straight '68 bug. Hope the underside looks as good as the body.
love bringing them back to life
fantastic video

one of the neat things about VW aircooled engines is you can start them on the tailgate of your truck ! Not recommended for a Mopar V8 however
Sounds like it will be a good runner. Can’t wait to hear the bug.
I noticed the fresh air box to dash vent adapters... really need a pair of those for my 71 super
I don't know who's more excited when they turn over and run, me or you?...lol
Nice score Mustie! that dual port seems to be quite nice.
You should be on Discovery channel: VW Pickers.😁
He WAS approached by a network for a reality show - turned them down. He did a video on this.
You're killing me Mustie1 not seeing that plug wire off (I was sure you'd notice it). I'm sure we'll see the great revile and startup on all four cylinders. ;-)
Yes! Mustie is the man with the truck full of rusty gold

"Looks like a Roadking special" haha I was thinking the same thing when I first saw that engine!
when you get one of these running, you could totally make a jump cart out of it using a big battery, a bass competition alternator, and long set of cables with a big anderson connector on one end. it would be quiet too since this engine is big enough that you could just put a big pulley on it and run it a little above idle.
You, sir, are in a growing need of outbuildings.
Mike
It's like watching a really good doctor in a really busy ER room!.You should have taken up fixing people Mustie!.
I like the plug wire just sitting there. You get consumed and excited to start the engine but forgot to put the plug wire back on spark plug. I've been there many times with something like that then just look at it like "you dumb ass" meaning me, lol
That's good ass it has some compression that means you can work on it with ease.
8500 people watch this video and only 846 people like it? Seems kinda like a waste of time 🤔. Just saying. I love your channel!!
Don't get me wrong. I saw one of your videos that had like a quarter of a million views. Only 2 percent of the people who watch admit to liking it. Then there are the people who give you a thumbs down! So I'm thinking that people watch shit on CZcams because it gives them something to complain about. Please help me with this I'm confused 🐒
Sounds like bullshit to me. But then again I'm not that smart.
Also we are not talking about 1 like in every 10 views.
Bonito vídeo yo aprendo mucho
Lots of stuff now for you to work on and also for us to watch on video
I made the mistake of Googling Scat....
traderjoes I had someone ask me one time " Why would you wanna run shit parts in your VW?" All I could do was laugh and smh.
@Traderjoes..:Big mistake!,there are some strange people out there!.
I'm betting you didn't get music with lots of "bop be doo, looow bay doh be doh doh baaaaaay" and such.
traderjoes c
Yeah, it is like a Christmas catalog.
I have an idea for ya.. maybe u could put the motor in the shop and spray the outside of castings for week let the heat take care of hard starting
I get emails when you upload new videos. I love them! Even though I have no clue what you're doing most of the time.
You remind me of a channel I also follow, Jafromobile. You and Him are a lot alike. :)
Love the bug ! Can’t wait to hear it run.
You need to get out the Magic Hammer it seems to work wonders
All those engines and carbs....... when I get my bug and need parts, I know who’s my best friend
