- In this episode, Me, Jen , and Gus head for the Duct Tape Drags in Tucson, Arizona in the 1974 El Camino. The valvetrain is clanky and the water pump is leaking but we're out of time so let's hit the road and see if she makes it! This trip has been a blast so far and we even get to meet Derek from @ViceGripGarage

I'm perfectly fine with not seeing a video every seven days. If you up the pressure on yourself and it stops being fun for you, it will eventually stop being fun for us. Take your time, enjoy the time with your fine lady, and send some videos our way whenever they're ready.
You are living the American dream man, fixing classic cars, beautiful wife at your side, dog, cross country trips, meeting amazing people along the way. I am the son of a mechanic so your videos have become very enjoyable to me. Keep it up. God bless America.
I love the channel as a senior who can’t travel. Thanks for taking me with you .
me too
This is such a cool part of TH-cam. Always interesting to see how different viewers watch videos and why!
Thank you Chris Jen and of course... Gus so much.... I cannot express how much I love yalls work. You and Jen work soooo hard.... Yall Tha best looking couple hands down.... Thank you Chris ❤❤❤❤. We love all your videos... I mean all.... Yall so Dang cool. God bless you in Jesus name 🙏 ❤❤❤ 🙏
Dang man! Thank you so much for the overwhelming support! Appreciate you very much! God bless you and your family. Thanks very much for tuning in and supporting the channel!
Jen is by far the best wife on TH-cam. Endlessly in a great mood even camping in a micro tent on the asphalt, or broke down in a second parking lot. Cheers. I do live outside Raleigh. Shame what happened there this week.
I thought Jen is his sister.
@@ronru he calls her babe and baby, I’d say that’s his wife/gf lol
Yeah your wife is good with her hands n has a great attitude, Gus priceless
Definitely his g/f. And I think she’s half buzzed 90% of these videos.
Don’t think he thinks enuff of her to put a ring on her finger I haven’t seen one but isn’t that the mood of millennials these days? She definitely deserves a commitment from someone.
NNKH hands down the best channel on TH-cam for people who genuinely love the problem solving that comes with buying and fixing older cars. Always a great time.
Good to see Derek and you both having a laugh 😀
I have been married for 45 years --Jen is real keeper - Dude you are a lucky guy !!
NNKH best show on TH-cam.... keep em coming. 🙂
I can foresee a convoy road trip with many people doing one of these with you guys. I'm sure its coming.
Vind ik ook 😉
Vise Grip Garage is good too.
I appreciate the anxiety of the road trips with these older cars. Keep up the good work
You are really onto something here. Most of our attention spans are too short to watch someone working on a car for an hour, but throw in travel scenery, drone shots, a charming lady and a cute puppy, and that will that will keep me watching. You are striking just the right balance in editing.
Your mechanical skills are second to none. Jen's attitude is amazing. Gus is a hoot as always.
I would love to know how you really learn all the ins and outs of complete car repair like you do, plus the amazing shop you have at home and how you're able to do so many things on the road with limited tools...
Could not agree more
Agreed. I teach automotive electronics and emissions and the HVAC and drivelines classes in the spring. Chris is much more thorough in sharing his knowledge of the way he does things illustrating procedure every step of the way.
Keep doing what you're doing watching from Scotland big thumbs 👍👍👍👍
This channel is amazing. Thank you for doing what you do. Jen is amazing as well.
Exactly 😂😂
I haven't before seen videos where you try and start them and then drive them all the way home.
It's great.
Reminds me of going on holiday as a kid. My Dad's old bangers would always break down on the way. Roadside repairs. Somehow we always reached our destination. Fond memories.
One little thing you can learn about sbc is that bolt you see in front of the block at the fuel pump rod is for holding that rod while your installing the pump. Just unscrew that bolt and use a longer bolt the threaded hole to hold that rod up and put the pump in with bolts loose and take the longer bolt out finish bolting the pump up and install the short bolt back in and your golden.
Oh really? Never knew that. Thanks for the tip!
Yep, most always wonder want that bolt is doing there. You got it!!!!
Derek showed that tip in one of his videos, but I don't remember which one...
i made the same comment. cheers. hahahaha.
I just was putting small block Chevy fuel pump on an engine from Blueprint (the company that sells crate engines) the other day and come to find out that some later model castings are wierd and although they have the bolt there, it’s just a blind hole that wasn’t drilled all the way through to the fuel pump pushrod. Blew me away cause why else would you waste the time to drill just deep enough to tap it for a short bolt but not all the way trough to the pushrod. As far as I know that front bolt doesn’t serve any other purpose. And yes I poke around in the hole, it wasn’t just clogged with gunk. It was brand new engine (well fresh rebuild). A hacksaw blade or anything similar works real well to hold it up as you QUICKLY slide the pumps arm in under the pushrod, just make sure to turn the engine over till the pushrod is on the base circle of cam’s eccentric (retracted into the block furthest. This gives you more room and time to slip the pump arm under it before it slides back down blocking the opening!
Keep putting out more like this love them . Guss. is the best more Guss
Jen's "check the dumpster" made my heart melt. All warm and fuzzy. Anyhoo...
Loving the El Camino series. On to the next episode.
I'm a Arizona native. Your videos are so awesome. I'm glad you guys enjoy our state. 🌞🌵
@ Roger Borgeson. I lived in Arizona for a year back in the early '90s, and will always consider it the most beautiful state in our nation!
True grit. Good on you for having this trip as a memory for a lifetime.
Can't remember the last time my wife asked me " Have you checked the dumpster yet?"
"there's some really good stuff in here" nothing says 'Chris Brown' like that statement.
She accepts Chris with every little thing!!! I know how it feels like, so I'm happy for Chris))) hopefully we will meet one day and scavenge in a trash together and fix some cool stuff)))
A great thing is she is very frugal as he is mechanically smart. She goes to Thrift stores to shop while they are on the road. She got Gus the pet cage on their Torino trip( I think) from a thrift store really cheap. Great to have someone looking out for the family. Definitely a great team.
Truer word were never spoken.
My ex wife loved it in the Dumpster 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love your vids man just the way they are. You have the perfect mix of mechanical with personal and pet. You two do a great job just being yourself. I look forward to the next one :)
I love these kind of trips
Love these roadtrip videos, really nice to see how it's going over there other side of the world!
I love your videos, I hope we don't have to wait so long for part 3 🙊🙊. Jen definitely loves the pools 😄 and Gus loves plastic bags 🤣. Greetings again from Germany
Bar Hoppling with Jen and Chris!
Your creative mechanic skills are endless. MacGyver, eat your heart out .
So true. MacGyver fixed a carburator that lacked the return spring for the throttle on a Jeep with the spring from a push button pen, though... silly but true. :p
Jen is the only reason I watched, she is an angel!
Like the hour long videos and enjoy seeing you'll together
Props to the unsinkable Jen & Gus - great support team😊
Can't wait for the tour of the ambulance when it's finished
I like the adventure trips ,, great scenery and Jenn doesnt look too bad either .. ha ha
Another great video guys keep them coming ☺️.
Idk if I'm more amazed at your composure when things mess up or your energy level throughout the day. Glad you got to have some wobble pops with VGG👍
I saw the voting and was like yo I think VGG was there and then BOOM there he is
I personally like whatever you post. I like the footage of you going out and buying a car and driving it home and making a vacation out of it especially since jen is such a trooper and chill about it. That makes it enjoyable to watch. Just keep em comin and we'll keep watchin. Even if you were to put out more than 1 a week👍
Hey thanks for saying that, Craig. We really do appreciate all the positivity from you guys watching. I wish we could respond to everyone, but we have such limited time believe it or not when we are on the road doing these videos. But we do read the comments and it means the world to us that people like you support what we are doing. It’s not always easy, but the struggle makes it fun. At least for us fools lol.
Chris, you are either clinicly insane or the coolest guy on youtube
Most people would scrap that car....but no you drive it 100s of miles and love it 😆
Kewl to see Derek from Visegrip on the video! No Nonsense and Visegrip my two favorite channels
Thanks for taking us along on your adventure...
I will say it again Jens a keeper!
Hi I really enjoyed your video and adventures with the El Camino. Look forward to saying the rest of your trip. You are a really lucky guy you have a beautiful supportive wife who’s willing to put up with a man in his machines lol. Also really love the pup
Keep doing what you're doing.
Great video. Thanks for posting and showing you can fix stuff on your own even with minimal tools and no garage.
a good mechanic that lived next door to my folks when I was growing up, taught me on Chevy adjust valves running. back off till they click, then down till click stops, and 3/4 round more. I graduated in 73, so this man probably forgot more than lots of others will ever know. another good video; keep up the good work. ;)
I've done it that way as well. Works great! Not the proper way but quick and easy
i like watching these kind of videos, your channel and VGG are the best to watch ,thanks for posting
Jen is a good sport camping out on the macadam like that at the drag strip. Gus is a real highlight of your videos.
Chris, you are "living the life;" cross country trip in a classic, staying at top quality resorts, having the best food and brews, and best of all, an understanding lady by your side! Jen has a great attitude!
Keep the videos coming they are great watching greetings from the 🇬🇧
I really love these trips and thank you and your wife for the great video.
Thank you and drive and be save getting back home.
It's all good. Thanks for the entertainment
Loving these road trips, great fun. Cheers you guys and Gus
You guys are having so much fun and the car is going to be awesome thank you for sharing this five stars my friends
Great series from great people! Thanks!
Chris your a gifted mechanic .....mostly I like how your able ...like bierri....to just make it work....and your not afraid to do whatever it takes !!!
Great video...I can't wait for the new "El Camino Adventures" but also the "Jen and Gus Adventures"...you guys are awesome!👍👍👍
Yo yo yo I'm from Philadelphia I love watching you three I really enjoy the repairs you do on all of the vehicles and you keep me laughing I also learn alot just watching many thanks 😊
I am enjoying your road trips with random vehicles. The way you purchase a vehicle hundreds of miles away that have been off the road for many years and try to drive them hundreds of miles home seems like an adventure. Definitely good for the soul and I'm sure it would be a good bonding time for partners. Testing the relationship!
All 3 off you are great to watch. Love the fluidity keep it up.
I love these revive and drive and revive classic car videos. You have a great team and the best attitude. A fan for life!
KEEPIT UP..... WE LOV YOU BOTH
You 2 are brilliant love your road trips jen has really warmed up to the camera you guys live life to the fullest
My two favorite TH-camrs in the same video! Vice Grip Garage and NNKH for the win.
I could feel your frustration ! Glad to have gotten through that with you two. 😏
When I was in high school in 72 I was so happy to find out my 69 El Camino had the air shocks.
Everyone had the rears raised.
Good doggy
Nice car!! kudos to you on your parking lot maintenance skills!!
Jen is a keeper..babydoll looks, easy going, adventurous,beer drinker,talented singer (noted from other videos)
As always looking forward to your next video... Be safe and be well!!!
“All I have is Vaseline” man of culture right there!
Having been born and raised in phoenix, I always get tickled pink when I see my favorite TH-camrs in town and in the parts of town that I roam daily. Love your videos, I've learned a ton about Automotive mechanics from watching your videos recently, keep up the amazing work my friend!
Greatest 2 vids yet. Chris, you are insane!! I keep saying it. Lol" you obviously enjoy working on cars plus you try to keep jen happy on these adventures while you up to your armpits in grease. You are something else!!! I cant wait to see part 3. You 2 and gus are a hoot!!! Vinny from pgh pa!!! Hey, 2 weeks steelers vs eagles!!!
I like how your videos aren't just about working on cars but also shows the fun in your life. 🙂
Tucson drag is a bucket list place to visit
You guys are great, a joy to watch
Man that el Camino would be an awesome Harley Hauler
Love the roadtrips, I feel I'm along for the ride. Great mix of roadside repairs and sightseeing.
I must say. If you’re gonna break down. U need not worry when your with NNKH. Love your vids. 👍👍👍
Your road trip videos feel like you're taking us along with you 3, it's awesome!
Enjoy watching you and Jen going on your adventures together, she's such a trooper. I like seeing you make repairs along your way and making it home with what you've acquired. Great TH-cam channel 👍
Hello, I watch this channel from time to time, if not done yet; MARRY THE GIRL !!!!!!
That bolt in front of the engine is the fuel pump rod access. Right in line with the rod. Pull that bolt out, put a longer one in to hold rod.
keep them coming guys,love you Jen and Gus,God bless..
I'm positively addicted to these road trip videos with Jen and Gus along! As long as you make them, I'm down. Also, I'm happy too check out your sponsors.
My two favorite TH-cam dudes (Vice Grip and NNKH) if the same place at the same time. Mind bottled!! Good stuff and great video Chris.
The Chris And Jen travel Show! I sure enjoy it!
I really like the mechanical explanations and especially the experiment with fuel line positioning. What a great way to learn. (I know, easy for me to say.) And I really like the travel photography along the road, in the tents for motels, and the scenic views of the desert and mountains, and the sky. Great footage of the drone in the windstorm. I feel like I just watched a professional travelogue. thanks so much.
Wearing a Diesel Creek shirt is pretty cool. Your and his channels are my favorite.
Loving these road trips...!
Thank you, Carl :)
You the man Carl! Thanks!
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow I bought an 85 XL600R 6 weeks ago. Your videos on that were a huge help dealing with it's bad timing chain and tensioner, thank you..!
I have been watching a bunch of your vids. Jen is such a cool gal. You are a lucky man.
These road trip/will-it-run videos are great.
Gotta love an el camino. I had a 73 with a 350, Mags, air shocks beautiful saphire blue , A/c because I was in florida. You have a lot of work ahead of you, Great vehicle, cute girlfriend and funny puppy!!! Best of luck. keep on keeping on!
NNKH just keeps getting better! I LOVE these trips you guys are doing!
Fun stuff all the way around. Fixing the valve train was the money shot! Engine sounds AWESOME!
Those Roadtrips really bring out the early OG Roadkill vibes with them, keep it up cant wait to see if you guys accually flew home and left the el camino or if you drove it all the way home. Great content as always.
Oh I love it ! Keep em comin ! I watch them all, DC, VGG, FSG, etc ! You are a very lucky guy with that woman with you !😊
Your traveling videos are most definitely my favorite! I love seeing Gus, Jenn, all the sights and adventures along the way! Looking forward to the next one and many! Safe travels guys.
Great vid, wrenching and holidaying with the beautiful Jen and super cute Gus what more could you want.
You definitely deserve more subscribers, such great videos. A few ads and sponsors could help even with larger videos like this.
Love it!!! Thank you for taking us along on your adventures!!
Absolutely love these videos. You guys are an incredible duo. Thank you for the wholesome content. God bless
Mate, don't change a single thing! You're onto a winner with these vid's. You and Jen are genuine and you're adventures are a great watch. No BS, just good folk sharing a slice of life! No Nonsense is the way forward. I see you rockin' a Diesel Creek T-shirt on here - I watch that bloke too. You guys are cut from the same cloth! Cheers mate (And go Gus!) - Glenn in NZ.
Love the road trips and how you all adapt to the challenges before you!
