That means that is on compression stroke and use the dip stick to measure the cylinder to top dead center. Then remove the cap of distributor and look to see if the rotor is pointing to the number one spark plug wire. If not release release the hoe down bolt 1/2 size.

My grandpa was an old school guy. He took a free spin bike sprocket and trimmed down the teeth where the body of the sprocket fit into a large socket and welded it. Then he drilled a perfectly centered hole down into the female end of a 6 inch 1/2 extention. Then ground down the correct side of the threaded stud for it to spin the right direction to fit tight in the hole in the extention. Then welded it up by filling around it. He took all the pull string spools out of everything and used a hole saw to drill an access hole in the engine covers to get to the flywheel bolts on eveything. So he didn't have to worry about it spinning the drill or pulling it off real quick. It would free spin after starting and he could easily pull it off once it fired up. He could also put any socket on it he needed. I loved learning from old folks. His tool box and garage where full of tools he made or modified. No nut, bolt, washer or piece of metal was thrown out. If something quit working he salvaged eveything from it. He'd bring home trash grabs all the time and fix them or salvage any brackets, wire, small electric motors, rubber feet ect. He had coffee cans fill of stuff. If you needed it he had it or had what he needed to make it. His garage was a clutter that he knew exactly where eveything was. The tips tricks and resourcefulness was unmatched!
@b-radgarageАй бұрын
Ok - that sounds LEGIT! Especially to come up with a way that eliminated the pull rope, but kept safety in mind and made everything easier to start.

that roof/headliner speaker assembly is probly worth as much or more than the truck, lol
Ha! My Pops wasn’t a big “accessories” guy - but he bought it and loved that thing! And you’re right - it’s just a 40 year old rig, but it got sentimental value. Appreciate the comment - take care!
sounds like the starter is going on its way out. the idle is on its way out along with tires.
As far as I know that’s the original starter - so you’re probably right! And the idle is jacked up for sure - carb work incoming! And you are 100% right on tires - old dry rotted junk! We’ve got some work to do but I think we can make it into a neat rig again. Appreciate the comment - take care!
OSHA approved you say
I tried to say it in the most joking/sarcastic/not serious tone I could manage! No - this is not a safe set up or even really a fix - the safe/right way to fix this is to replace the pull rope. This was meant as humor and is NOT recommended. Appreciate your comment - have a great day!
@@b-radgarage it's a great joke 🤣
Ha! Appreciate the humor my friend! 🤣
My grandpa was an old school guy. He took a free spin bike sprocket and trimmed down the teeth where the body of the sprocket fit into a large socket and welded it. Then he drilled a perfectly centered hole down into the female end of a 6 inch 1/2 extention. Then ground down the correct side of the threaded stud for it to spin the right direction to fit tight in the hole in the extention. Then welded it up by filling around it. He took all the pull string spools out of everything and used a hole saw to drill an access hole in the engine covers to get to the flywheel bolts on eveything. So he didn't have to worry about it spinning the drill or pulling it off real quick. It would free spin after starting and he could easily pull it off once it fired up. He could also put any socket on it he needed. I loved learning from old folks. His tool box and garage where full of tools he made or modified. No nut, bolt, washer or piece of metal was thrown out. If something quit working he salvaged eveything from it. He'd bring home trash grabs all the time and fix them or salvage any brackets, wire, small electric motors, rubber feet ect. He had coffee cans fill of stuff. If you needed it he had it or had what he needed to make it. His garage was a clutter that he knew exactly where eveything was. The tips tricks and resourcefulness was unmatched!
Ok - that sounds LEGIT! Especially to come up with a way that eliminated the pull rope, but kept safety in mind and made everything easier to start. I agree with you - the older generation had to make things work for them and I think it is super cool to learn those kinds of skills. Appreciate the story and comment - your grandpa sounds like an awesome cat!
Ya till you strip the nut your using lmao
That is for sure a possibility - yet another reason this is not a true/long term fix. Thanks for commenting - have a great day!
If ya get a ratcheting adapter for your impact, it'd make it so it only works forward, but when it kicks into reverse, it just spins loosely.
Ok - that sounds cool! I did not know something like that even existed tbh. Appreciate the info and comment - take care!
Don't break your wrist...
Agreed - it is not the safest set up - and definitely not the correct/long term fix. Appreciate the advice and comment - have a great day!
Just remember, a cordless drill will break your wrist if not removed in time…😂
Very true! That’s a big reason this isn’t really a recommended/true fix - replacing the pull rope is the real fix. Thanks for commenting - have a great day!
ive seen alot of stuff on youtube but that was actually very smart and useful! thanks mate 👍
Appreciate that! I will say - this isn’t a true fix b/c there are definitely safety issues involved - but it can work in a pinch. Thanks for commenting - take care!
In addition to people whose string is broken, i could see this tip being helpful for people experiencing physical weakness from aging, those with disabilities or injuries as well
You know what - I never thought of that - that’s a great point! Appreciate the input and comment - take care!
@@b-radgarage You as well. I learned something new. Thank you for the informative content!
Thank you for the kind words - exchanges like this make me remember why I like the internet lol! Take care!
I have to do that until i get my spine checked from an accident i had and it works to well
Looks great! I’m going to try this with my keg…although I’m wondering if the lamp kits made for bottles would be easier? 🤔
Give it a shot - you got this! bet so on the bottle kits - this was a cheap 3 way light kit st Walmart - if you want to try the bottle kit I bet that would be good! Appreciate the comment - have a great day!
WHat size driver is that
The drill is a 1/2 cordless with a 3/8 drive adapter with a 19 mm socket. Appreciate the comment - I hope that helps!
Can’t remember if I told you, but my first truck was my dad’s 84 Chevy Silverado with the 305! Great video!
Nice! Gotta love an old squarebody for a first rig!
I also have 1987 Scottsdale TBI fuel injection dual tank 4 speed 4x4, cold AC My dad bought in 87 brand new she was, we went to Mexico in it 7 times I’m now doing a 2013 6.0 Ls swap in it with a 6 speed automatic 4x4 trans
Ok - that sounds RAD!!! Super cool that your pops bought it new and it’s still in the family. My uncle had a blue 4x4 Scottsdale (70’s I think but don’t remember the year) with a small block 400. It was sweet! I bet that 6.0/auto transmission swap is gonna be killer - best of luck with it! Appreciate the comment my friend - stuff like this is what reminds me the internet can be a cool place!
I need that bed for my 74 gmc long bed
I appreciate you commenting/reaching out - I do still have the truck but the current plan is to use the frame/bed etc to make a trailer. Sorry I couldn't help - I hope you find a solid bed for your GMC - sounds like a good rig!
Visit the California auto museum in Sacramento.
I bet it has some rad stuff! For cars and hot rods Cali seems like a good choice! Appreciate the info!
