I am an addict. This channel is part of my therapy.
I have been told that acknowledgment is the first step.
So there, I admitted it. I have said it out loud. It is acknowledged.
Finally I can cross out step 1. I will get to step 2, I promise... I just have to finish this car first.

Great job but I would have gotten rid of those white wagon wheels they look like they came off a Jeep it needs shinny Cragers and I would have painted it red you had everything there to do it except the paint
I appreciate the comment. The car as you described would have been really nice.
Another great video Patrick. The Corvair is coming along. I like the authenticity of your videos. Never trust someone that fixes a car the first time with no mistakes! liars...lol
Thank you, I really appreciate the support. Mistakes happen, my hope is they are manageable and full removal of a drive train is not needed. However, we have seen how that goes with the fury. lol
Good work, I liked the video!
Thank you so much. I really appreciate the support.
I keep meaning to ask--is that a 1967 senior Chevy in the adjacent bay?
Yes, that is my 67 Caprice, originally with 327. I have owned that one the longest, almost 30 years now. I had a panic when I found out we were pregnant with our first kiddo, and tore the whole thing apart... 13 years later we have made some progress, but everything else has jumped in front of it. Apparently I am doing a first in, last out format. That said, I am planning on getting it at least to move under it's own power very soon. Fingers crossed I do not get further distracted.
@@rustaholic9029 Thanks for the rest of the story!! Though I'm Mopar-first, I do appreciate the GM big car platform from 1965 through 1970.
Nice job! They are addictive to work on. I’m like you it’s hard to just slap it back together with sprucing it up.
Right. I know the mechanical is most important, I feel better if it looks like I changed something.
I have a ‘64 and a ‘67 and had a ‘63. I find the EM’s much much easier to pull the power pack than the LM’s so as hard as it is consider yourself fortunate. Dave Motohead on KZread has some great how to videos (too little too late?).
Thanks for the comment, I looked up Dave and found I have watched many of his videos. I really like how he explains how Corvairs work. Very helpful. Personally, I like the LM better than the EM, but my lady fell in love with this one. So, you know... that happened. I will never tell my lady she can't buy a classic car. never.
Great vid, Chap!! I am working on a '75 camaro and you have given me loads os inspiration! Many thanks!
Glad I could help. Sending you all the good vibes for your project.
Looks Good! I need some inspiration to get my projects going.
Whenever I am not sure what to do next, my lady reminds me it doesn't really matter, any progress is success. I hope this helps. Cheers.
@@rustaholic9029 Very true! it sounds like you have a good lady there. Some are not very enthusiastic about the time and money that goes into these rides.
New parts in one place turning into many more new parts in other places. Mopar Diva Syndrome a.k.a. Plymouths Behaving Badly.
Absolutely. Since I have not replaced everything... I am sure there is more to come.
I think there was a large improvement underneath after pressure washing. I think I’ll hit mine with a “shorty” nozzle too!
Awesome. It actually worked really well. I labeled the pipe and stuck in the drawer. It has now been upgraded to specialty tool.
The dog went to a wedding? Hahaha keep the vent window closed or he will get his head stuck! Enjoy your ride. You deserve some drama free cruises!
It has been good so far. Fingers crossed.
I've said so before but I love your ride !😊
Thank you so much for your support. With the Corvair down my lady has been driving the Fury a lot more. She is not totally comfortable with the size yet, but she does love a drop top.
When the Corvair starts randomly spewing coolant, you know that it's been corrupted by the Fury. 😆
lol, so true.
As I watch the story unfold, my snarky comments are pointless. I could never dish out abuse as well as my Fury or yours.
16:55 I just started watching your channel. I'm not going to add snark until about episode 12. 🤣
Hello and welcome to the channel. I am winging it most of the time so most snark is probably warranted. I am hoping this series doesn't make it to episode 12. lol. Might as well start now. I look forward hearing your thoughts. Thank you for watching.
I had a 1963 Corvair Monza Spyder convertible with 4 speed in my teens, Had to sell it when I was in college for funds I needed there. Very fun car to drive and I still regret selling it.
Thanks for sharing, that sounds amazing. I have not yet driven one with the 4 speed. I would love that. My lady says I drive this one a little too zippy. I can only imaging how zippy I could be in a 4 speed. lol. I am considering getting a late model hard top in the future for that very purpose. We will see.
@@rustaholic9029 The Spyder had a turbo so had fairly low production numbers and with the turbo it was very zippy.
be careful do not drop that on your FLIP FLOPS !!!!
Oh, it's happened. Though they are not OSHA approved I do have a Florida exemption.
Just came across your website ------ I too had a '63 Corvair ------- a Fun car ------ that was 55 years ago ------- If you aren't going to tear the engine completely down ------ NOW ------ would be a good time to at least do a compression test on her to see what condition she is in ------ hate to have you get the engine in car and something just isn't right ------ since your parts order isn't expected for a while ----- might be a good time ----- could save you a head ache later ------ Will follow along ----- they are cool cars ------ Hope you have a Good Week ---------- Rodney
Hello and thank you for your comment. I have owned this one for about 10 years actually, it is really good, just leaks like crazy. This is the first time I ever had it apart though. Still going to try and seal everything I can. I can't wait to get it back on the road. Thank you for watching.
Good Job! I was literally sweating when you were lifting the car with the come a long, lol. I'm sure it was fine though.
I was a little concerned about the come a long myself. lol
Cool deal man ! I think its fair to say you have determination ! Nice to get a victory. Keep up the good work.
Nice hooptie!
Thank you, it has been really fun to finally get it out there and start enjoying it.
Congrats on your victory! Time to get out and enjoy it.
time to enjoy the summer
I hope you manage to beat the leaks this time! Sometimes they can be a real bugger.
Thank you for the support. It has been a few weeks now and still leak free. I think I got them.
Great job! Way to hang in there. I can't wait to see if it worked, good luck. It's nice to see how things really go in the real world.
Thank you so much. Really appreciate the encouragement. I am super hopeful.
wow your the first person to cut a attach a rear main seal , if it works you will start a trend ....good luck
It is a different approach, but not far from the factory. I am hopeful.
You have the patience of a saint!
Thank you. I spent many years skateboarding. Which is mostly failing with a side of success. I think it prepared me well for working on the classics.
🤞
Nice video. Best knowledge we can get, is by doing......you are doing fine. I was a mechanic, 46 years or so....built a lot of motors, fixed a lot of leaks, never made a video!
Thank you very much, I appreciate the encouragement.
🤞👍 summers here
Promo'SM 😘
And I don't care what anyone says, Second gen camy's are the sexiest.
Bought a 77 back in 89. Teal metallic blue w a white vinyl top, white interior, 305 automatic. Original rally rims. Couldn't get out of its own way, but man was that thing a chick magnet!! Lol! Nice job guys, brings back good times
Love this story.
Ohhh Nice
My first car was a 69 furyIII conv. 383-2bl, 2.91 gears. Only other option I'm sure of is heavy duty brakes. Was a great hwy car. The speedometer danced around when above 75-80 but the car didn't mind running at 80+ mph. When gas went from 55¢ to $1.40, I gave up on her. Wish I'd of had a barn to put her in.
Love this story. When I bought my first one 30 years ago I was about 3 hours from home.. heading back I was amazed at how easily it just kept going faster. Huge difference from the 4cly I was driving previously. In fact I think I was going about 80+ when the back hub cap came off and passed us on the freeway, we watched fly up the hill into the grass. We turned around and searched for like an hour and never found it. It must have gone back in time. lol
👍good luck
nice Corvair 👍
Thanks Tim, it has been a really fun car for us.
I had a 1970 Plymouth fury 3. Wish that I had kept it and rebuilt the entire thing. Fun car to drive.
I had one when I was 17, and traded it away. This one is my redemption. They are kind of rare but still out there.
@@rustaholic9029 I see so many of them online.
LOOK AT YOUR FLEX PLATE
Yes i had a cracked flex plate and it sounded just like that i
Thanks for the video of the Woody! There were some very cool cars there. That Plymouth with the blacked out trim (and dual quads?) was way cool. Sorry that the Corvair didn't make it home under its own power:(
Thanks John. Though rare, it wasn't the first time. Doubt it will be the last.
Do you have your fuel filter on backwards?
Thank you for your comment. My new filter is by directional. So far no issues with fuel since this episode. It is my original sealing issues from rear main and transmission that have come back to haunt me.
Oh the joys of owning old cars !
Right. Always an adventure.
i see you have one of them dash pads , does it really help and does it look good , where did ya get it from ...i want to get one for my 70 fury convertible oh and congratulations on being able to drive your 69 fury again
Thank you. I am still not out of the woods yet, but it is nice to drive it for a while. The dash pad is way better than cracked up dash underneath. I belive I got it from the following site. They make it to order with several choices of materials. I think I have the "velour" option. I installed it with Landau Top & Trim Adhesive from Weldwood. I taped everything off so I could get the adhesive right to the edge. It hasn't moved at all. dashcare.com/i-137354-plymouth-fury-grand-fury-1969-1973-dashcare-dash-cover.html?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw8J6wBhDXARIsAPo7QA_JTKqTP0cBybIuX-Oj_8FQevV_XhAd8YnN5uZDPT9bfSC0tuWRn_saAmMvEALw_wcB
My mother bought a new 1969 Plymouth fury three that was yellow with a white interior and a white vinyl top. Her car had a 383 and was very fast. She loved that car and drove it eleven years. I don't know what the mileage was but she drove it to Mexico and all over the United States with her sister that first summer in 1969. She also made at least two trips from Gainesville to Miami each year that she owned it. She made numerus trips to North Carolina in it. The car was still beautiful like my mother when she sold it but the engine was completely worn out. A few years ago I tried to track down the car without any luck.
I really love the story. It sounds like she really enjoyed it as intended. I think the 383 would really change the feel of the car. That is an upgrade I may look into in the future if the 318 starts getting tired. Could be awhile. If you decide to keep looking, I hop you find it.
Awesome that its running better! Enjoy the heck out of it! But (I'm sorry! Really! for saying this!) you might want to look up information on running a fuel filter on the suction side of a mechanical fuel pump; pretty much everything I looked at recommended it to only be on the pressure side. But it ran so maybe will be ok! Enjoy the heck out of your car! Mine is still buried in a garage with no space and partly in pieces. I really admire you getting so much done in your really not very spacious workspace! I need to try to do the same.
Thank you Rich I really appreciate the comments. I will keep an eye on it and consider moving it if needed. My new filter is a very small metal filter with cleanable filter element similar to what is just inside the carb. I am hoping it gives little restriction. Good luck on getting your project moving. Sounds like a good purge may be in order. I am due for one myself. I have to do it every few years or else I couldn't walk through the shop. It is amazing how much stuff I hang onto thinking I will use it, but really it is not worth the space.
Cool Beans, Nice!
good job! 🎉
Is it possible that the carb itself is junk? I've seen brand new ones out of the box that aren't able to be tuned. That could be the whole issue. Doesn't matter the brand.
Is this a 318 ?
It is. Not original to the car. It is a 73 318 of unknown origin. The engine and trans were just sitting in the car without any connections at all when I purchased it. It seems like they may have swapped it, but never got it running. I got it running and drove for like 8 months before the original breakdown in Daytona 2 years ago. Wow, has it been that long?
