Not a chebby guy but that is one worth saving.

She can be beautiful especially if it’s numbers matching. Definitely worth it. Keep it as a tow rig and enjoy it especially if there’s family history with El Caminos.

Oil Pressure relief valve in the oil pump is probably stuck as you said Chris. Sitting as long as it has it makes sense. Love the channel!

Chris you never fail to make me smile, wish I were your neighbor !

Chris has got some ( Alot) of Classic Cars!

Just seen this exact issue on legit street cars. Same deal, oil filter balloons up at start up and dumps oil. It did wind up being oil pressure relief valve.

Chris, in memory of your dad and Grandpa.And that's a 454 with a 4 speed.I think you need to keep it and drive it. 1970 El Camino they don't make them anymore 😊😊😊😊😊

Great video 👍🏻

The Birdman is back!!

Made me nervous how aggressively you worked that hood open 😂 nice work tho Chris I’m trying to get my 67 elco going as well

Just pulled out a 67 396 four speed Chevelle about a month or so ago for a guy, it had been sitting in a barn for like 20 years. It was all solid tho he had it primed before he parked it plus he had two 396 blocks a 427 and a 327 block sitting with it and a new quarter panel for it that’s an actual gm one

Good thing you had that fender cover on!😁

That jack stand is doing it's best, but it's looking forward to retirement

My brother was given an old Jeep Commander. It had the old Buick V6 225 engine. The timing chain was out of it and it was too rusty for the road. I took the valve covers off along with the front engine assembly. I don't think they ever changed the oil in that engine. I cleaned everything the best I could. Spun the engine over until we got some oil pressure. It started up and the oil light came on. It had pumped the oil filter full of crap and ballooned the oil filter like your El Camino is doing. Several oil filters later we were able to have some fun in the fields and woods with the Jeep until it just broke the frame from being rusted out.

1964 El Camino 283 4 speed was my first car! $800.

Need that 11/32 wrench to tighten coil nuts.

Very cool brother, my first car was also a El Camino. A 69 307 turd but it looked very mice white with black top. It would not blow up because the cam was worn out in the 307. I wanted to 350 swap it but sold it off before I could do it. Then I got a 72 bronze 350 car. I`m also partial to Elko`s

That is actually a very cool car! 👍🏋️‍♀️

Runs & drives... wink wink 😉😉

I've seen them do that with spun mains. I wouldn't think that wimpy cam driven oil pump could pump that hard with the relief valve stuck.

Currently bored in class bird but not anymore with birdsong playing 😎

Good times 🎉 nice shop truck or parts runner

Nice vid as always 👍 cheers from France mate

Oil pump pressure, relief valve stuck as you said if I would Watch the video lol

Already know its an amazing day when Chris posts sorry im late

They can't all be winners. Good job you have plenty Oil Dri/Sand in your yard.

Hey Chris thank you for the video damn you Chevy

I love when someone says “ran when parked”. They all ran when they were parked for the last time they ran…😂

Hey man headed out to Vegas and was hoping to be able to meet you.. and perhaps minty ..... Smurf lol

Dalton from pbg mentioned u in his last video, so i subed and put notifications on for your channel. i figured I'd cheak out your latest video i trust the man. My instincts were right im looking forwerd 2 watching all your videos 💪🏽.

1st Hell yes it'll run, its a Chevy!!

Yo, Chris, face it bro. Time is right to return to the Isaac Daytona Charger...

guy from legitstreetcars had a filter that kept leaking oil. He got a couple to seal and they literally expanded and almost blew up. Tuned out to be the pump oil by pass was scratched up sticky

I dont think I would have started it for fear of losing the motor 396 are hard to come by if it's matching numbers, and I am with you love my mopars but I am a car guy threw and threw all have something to offer .

Fix it up Chris please and it will be worth alot. I beg you to fix it and make it beautiful again

Just call it the parts chaser! Thats what we called the el caminos and rancheros back in the day.

Did someone before leave the outta O-ring on it from the last one???🤷

There is a check valve with a spring in the oil pump that's stuck. It's the oil pump.

Pressure relief in the pump is stuck.

You tried, it needs a rebuild anyways, this little truck needs some cash, you should check the vin and the engine block to see if it numbers matching, make those Chevy boys pay, hehe.

In a world of $#|T television and KZread videos, this channel is an island of greatness. In the vein of Roadkill and Roadkill Garage and Faster With *****.

There is a oil port right about the oil filter on big blocks. Did you check that?

Epic video . Derek be special ha ha . caveman . The door handle thing was a laugh . This my fav video I gotta say. Roller coaster ride .

Channel Carter Auto Restyling and straighten out the crunched fender. Did it pump any oil up to the heads?

Its a 4 speed 396 big block elcamino it will definitely be restored.you just have to sell it to someone who has money.by the way my first car was a 66 elcamino with a 327 with a powerglide it did awesome burnouts.until the rear end exploded.then i traded it to a 68 coronet 500 with a 383 best car trade ever

The oil pressure line is right above the oil filter, it is probably leaking out of there. The oil pressure relief spring is probably stuck too, but that is where I would check for your oil leak. Pull it back onto ground that doesn't have oil on it, jack it up, disable the coil and just crank it over while watching underneath to find the actual leak. If you haven't already sold it.

It’s no mistaken filter leak

Funny that you can open the door and others have a hard time. Same with my slightly ratty 65 Catalina: Peope are telling me the door is locked. If you have enough strength in your fingers you can open it no problem.

"Has great oil pressure."

It could be the oil filter adapter gasket. I had a chevy 454 that developed a leak at the oil filter adapter gasket because it had an old paper gasket. The factory GM oil filter adapter gasket is steel. If you go to an auto parts store they will sell you a paper oil filter adapter gasket instead of the GM factory steel gasket. I believe you can still get a GM factory steel oil filter adapter gasket from a chevy dealer.

El caminos are based off of the station wagon. I’ve had a 68 and a 71

👍👍

Isn't there a oil tap in the back of the block for a gauge if that's not plugged in the gush on top by the intake manifold them back

Points my man. Fuel spark. Coil. Fresh. Gas from pony tank. Carb fuel. Filter

It has the round SS gauges and the delux SS steering wheel

did it get any oil up to the push rods???

💪😎

👍 ✌

Had a 80's jeep Comanche 4.0, ran fine but oil filter did the same. Would come loose no matter how tight. 🤷. Sold it

damn it would have been a nice proyect for the channel

My 8 year old daughter also had problems to open my 69 chevy door😂

Oil filter adapter aluminum thing that bolts to the block. My small block chevy did this to me, pissed me off.. oil everywhere. It blew out after backing out of my garage no reason other than its a chevy. It had a hairline crack in it. I swapt it out for a used one off another small block problem solved. Shit design G/M 👍

try that on a hood of today's car, it would have folded in half

Hey, Chris. I'm still in search of a late 90s early 2000s Engine 5.9 Magnum engine block. That hopefully is not too worn out. I've got stock pistons. I'm on the West Coast. Called some Yards up here & either no luck or they want Too Much. Can you help? Or any ideas?

Calling an El Camino a truck is like calling a crew cab pickup a sedan.

The oil leak is from a broken oil pressure sending unit.

Feels like 2005

The 70 wagon and elcomino have the same front end the front cap wont fit on a car also the frame is the same as a wagon

I think the fuel injection bearings are STUCK!

The body line is different between '70 and '71, a '70 is inch higher then 71,72,73.

Why do GM cars have their brake reservoir tilted backward? Seems like that would make filling it difficult.

@cpayne9790

3 ай бұрын

I wondered that myself. I think it's to help when bleeding the master cylinder when it's installed. Helps with air being pumped to the front or by gravity bleeding. Also, if you blow a front brake hose, the back brakes will still have a little( I guess).

Did you ever get your sisters car fixed? Your dad's old car.

Bent push rod and valve rod.....

Unless the internal components of the engine are knackered you only need air,fuel and a spark so why wouldn't it.

Glad it wasn't a square body hood.

2:00 in 1985 the Elco got smashed and Chris shares with us that his mom also did. Could have been 84 I guess. It's a fuckin joke people. Lighten up. Mine got smashed in 79
