HEY! The revival isn’t done. We RIPPP on this thing on episode 7, I couldn’t believe the life in that 318 myself. Next episode is on JYD channel!!! Don’t miss it 💪💪💪💪 Also, catch us offline on Facebook at “Thunderhead289 carb & engine: tech/tune forum”
Clint, I'm very interested in the possibility of buying the satellite from you guys, I had the same car in High School, 'cept mine was an automatic w/center console, I would love to restore this car, bring back some good memories!!
@@harleyguyinmilw Sorry to say but they mentioned in a live stream that the car has already been sold. They are working through the footage and making episodes of it. the 1970 is the best looking one in my opinion. 70 was the best year for a lot of cars in terms of the look of it, in my opinion.
62 downvotes? WTH? I'm a Ford guy but being born in 1960 I love mid 60's to early 70's cars of all makes. I probably would only restore a Ford myself but I love seeing them all brought back to life.
Had just finished watching Dylan McCool's latest video and this alert popped up. One of my favorite series. I'm a Ford guy at heart but I like these old cars and what ya'll do to get 'em going again. 👍
Same absolutely. Well I finished villains then went right to this I do wish it was a Ford though. Between those three and vise grip garage has to be my top four channels to go to
Thanks again to you guys, and all the TH-cam guys carrying the torch of shadetree hotrodding. TV shows and magazines today are all about big budget builds, and advertising products they're paid to sell. Nothing like leaning over a fender with nothing but a set of tools and know-how to get you by.
Personally, I liked the Roadrunner better. Had less chrome You guys are making me quite ill! I had a '70 Roadrunner, the sedan body. Not the hardtop style this is. But, mine had a 440, and an A833. Yes, the Pistol Grip, too. That year, you could slide 2, .020 feeler gauge leaves, one on either side of the upper shifter, and the whole pistol grip handle would slide right out. Then you replace the 2 foot long handle, with an 8 inch Comp Plus handle. 1 to 2, was 4 inches. 1 to 3 was 1.5 inches. I did a burnout, and the 1-2 shift, where there was no rubber, you could cover, with a standard 8.5X11 piece of paper. With the Pistol Grip, couldn't cover it with a yardstick. I spent a whole $800 on that car. I'm sure it is worth 100 times that much now. steve
Living in Canada's rust belt I can truly appreciate the work and knowledge it took to take that car from the dirt to the trailer, under its own steam.... epic series guy's thanks for sharing your week with us...
I know you guys are not Mopar fans, But me being a DIEHARD AMC/Mopar guy can say..that Mopars are pretty forgiving when it comes to sitting a long time! Minus rust of course, but no car is impervious to that! Cant wait for the next vid!
My first car was a 1970 Satellite Super Sport.. 318...green with gold stripe.... I am a grandma now but would love to still have it to show my grandsons..
It is nice when an engine starts right up like that. My 66 mustang was like that and my 63 ranch wagon is like that, 302 and 260 V8 respectively. I’m getting motivated to get back to work on that wagon. Wish the 390 in my 65 Galaxie wasn’t seized.
This is an excellent video series! You two are fun to watch. You and VGG have inspired me to begin working on my own revival. Thanks for all the hard work!
I'd like to know if anyone has a real life story of a stock cam with stock valve springs failing from low zinc in the oil. Tons of modern overhead cam engines have valve "buckets" that are basically the same as a flat tappet and they run flawlessly with modern oils.
@@ThunderHead289 No. I've never worked on a VW. I have been into plenty of DOHC engines such as Toyotas with the cam running right against the buckets like any flat tappet application. They routinely do 300,000 miles with the modern watered down 0W-20 oil. I have also seen cams fail. But it's typically with some crazy lift and the valve springs turned up to 11.
Watch Wes Work Watch Wes Work Iv never played with over head cam stuff myself, so I can’t speak to the valve spring pressures, but I do know that pushrod engines take a lot more pressure to control since there is so much weight associated with that style of valvetrain. Without looking into anything, I would venture to say they are heavier than overhead cams. BUT also, zinc is not a cumulative is better scenario. Even oils with 500 ppm will support anything, just higher pressure scenarios will consume that ppm quicker. Change oil every 3k and even flat tappets live forever. I run retella with the Lucas stabilizer just to keep a coating on the valvetrain and Iv never had issues in the stock world
@@ThunderHead289 Interesting. I suppose the pushrod application is going to have more stress than a 4 valve DOHC. I don't work on cars like this Satelite, but in old tractors with flat tappet cams I've never heard of spontaneous cam failure and you can bet your lunch that farmers are buying the cheapest oil ever made.
Holy cow! You upload the Satellite, and Dylan McCool uploads the charger in the same day?? Best friday ever. You guys are the best. Please never stop. *also* first comment!!
just run the diesel oils. they have plenty of zinc in them. I like to run shell rotella 10w30 diesel oil. It has all the zinc and it has all the diesel detergents so my engine stays nice and clean.
Great videos, very entertaining. You should add overhead drown shots of the surrounding area's to your videos. Always looking forward to the next episode. Thank you
Y'all are just an absolute riot😂😂 Absolutely loving the series, wish one of y'all could buy it and take it home!! It's sad it's probably going to just rot into the ground there after all this work
Add zinc....use motorcycle oil or Valvoline VR-1 racing oil. I use the VR-1 in old motorcycles because I don’t want synthetic oil in it since some clutches don’t like it. VR-1 haves lots of zinc in it. Oil for motorcycles haves lots of zinc since air cooled motors need it more then water cooled. Yes, even lawn mowers
a good way to release stuck break drums is to apply some heat and then you might hear a cracking sound witch means they should be able to be taken off. try that anyways good videos from the UK glad you got the engine running.
you dont need zinc additive if the engine is broken in or unless you're running high pressure valve springs. I have a old jeep and camaro and i dont use any zinc additive and i have never had a problem.
That's my favorite Plymouth... I had a 70' GTX 383 4 speed... never seen one with a 318 and 3 on the tree! most that came W/ 318 had a 904 Turqueflite tranny
4:16 as soon as you picked that can up,,,I thought to my self: (dont bend the nozzle it's going to snap) then it happened,, he tried to bend it.. LOL SNAP!!!😄 YOUR FIRED.
I’d buy it right now! My favorite car is the 68-70 Satellite/GTX/Roadrunners, followed closely behind by the 67-68 Barracudas and 70-71 Challengers lol. I’ve looked for years and haven’t found anything up near me in NJ. What’s the plan for it? Cheap resto? Flip?
Shell rotella T4 has 1200 zinc and 1100 phosphorus.. the API standard has changed in the past few years if it has SN stay away I always use diesel oil for my flat tappet vehicles... With a API of CK4 which use to be CJ4
Not sure if it's still there. But there was an old Chevrolet Corvair abandoned in the driveway of an abandoned home between Atkins, IA and Palo, IA. Haven't been by in probably 10 years. I'm actually curious now.
I built a mate a 351 clevo it had twin plate clutch set up sat for about 3 years put it in another car the one he put it in rotted away in Cairns and the clutch was stuck started it in gear got it up to 100 and just pressed the clutch pedal and it was good to go 😊
So rewarding to see it move under its own power finally. The Hardee’s bottle find was pretty cool too. Were you able to get his reaction to it on camera by chance?
A trick I have used to un stick clutches, put the car on all fours, un plug coil wire, press in the clutch and crank it in gear. usually this works good
btw i got a old ford 2 door with a v6 its been sitting in the back yard for a long long time . if you wanna come get it for $100 needs some crazy work its been sitting for 30 plus years
After you mentioned without having zinc in the oil the flat tappet cam will go flat got me thinking about the early 90's chevy v8's that came with flat tappet cams. Ive seen lots of them with 150,000 or more miles that the cams are fine. Is there something different that ables them to last?
The lower the spring pressures, the less you need. Zinc IS still in oil, just in lesser quantities. As long as oil is changed every 3k, there is enough zinc for flat tappet vehicles. My tbi 94 Chevy has 180k on it, factory sealed
I just realized: this car was sitting there ~2 years longer than I even exist... amazing to see it still has life in it! Btw: all 4-stroke carburated cars need that zink additive in the oil? I've heard about the lead-substitute additive to the fuel for the valve seats, but I've never heard about this...

What are the plans for the car since it’s so rusted? Everything else seems alright considering
its part 6.

good video. a want to see the old man driving his old car again.

😂😂 same I was watching his video and then it poped up this and I was like hell yes finally and stopped watching his and went here lol
I did as well. At the moment this is more fun than watching Dylan toss new parts at his Challenger.
Same absolutely. Well I finished villains then went right to this I do wish it was a Ford though. Between those three and vise grip garage has to be my top four channels to go to

Yah I caught Dylan for lunchtime today and then this popped up - we're spoilt! :D

We do your two favorite things for once in the next vid 😂
I just can't get enough of the shape of the Satalite it's just perfect. Surely someone would save this one. All the best from England 👍
Never clicked on a video faster lol, I wish I was out there fixing cars with you guys looks like so much fun
The both of you are great role models for the younger generations to come! 🇺🇸

Good solution to support it on the blocks. And funny you brought this
slab back to life. Maybe it looks better after a good cleaning.
I can SMELL this video. The fire, the bug spray, the unburned fuel, the fresh gasoline. All of it. So many memories.
I hit like before I even watch as I know I will like it
So you are the 4 stars guy from Wish. Haven’t tried it yet but looks good”
@@dontdiecurious there is a difference as Wish has a strong tendency to dissapoint, but these channels definitely do not ...
Use shell rotella 15w40, 1100ppm phosphorus and 1200ppm zinc. Iv run it in my 1970 f100 since 2005. 408,000 miles and counting on the original 360FE.
This is an excellent video series! You two are fun to watch. You and VGG have inspired me to begin working on my own revival. Thanks for all the hard work!

Dylan Reed bro I’m subbed to both of them with notifications lol
my life has been on hold...waiting for episode 6...Thanks Guys!
That was one awesome revival! Ya'll did an outstanding job getting that old Satellite back running.
You guys make me smile. You two make me smile. God bless there. Your government doing a bad job. Be safe guys. And family and friends ) Australia
just run the diesel oils. they have plenty of zinc in them.
I like to run shell rotella 10w30 diesel oil. It has all the zinc and it has all the diesel detergents so my engine stays nice and clean.
Yep more Dinosaurs and vitamins...
Love watching you guys. Thunderhead 289 and junkyard digs. You guys are great keep making videos and saving old Detroit autos
From rusting in a field to roaring through donuts. Seriously, the thing runs like new! Looking forward to seeing the complete results of your efforts.
It's so awesome hearing these old engines roar back to life.
That was a risky move at the end... respect! Looking/sounding good!👍
Good insight on the oils. Additives have changed considerably and not always friendly to classic engines.
Great videos, very entertaining. You should add overhead drown shots of the surrounding area's to your videos. Always looking forward to the next episode. Thank you
What an amazing series this is,fully enjoyed every ep
Y'all are just an absolute riot😂😂 Absolutely loving the series, wish one of y'all could buy it and take it home!! It's sad it's probably going to just rot into the ground there after all this work
Thanks!
Please explain the purpose of the Vaseline container sitting on the cowl at 1:56. Great video!
You guys got engine running itself around the yard or the streets awesome video bless you
Woooow, so satisfying to watch that thing driving. Great job guys👍👍👍
Add zinc....use motorcycle oil or Valvoline VR-1 racing oil. I use the VR-1 in old motorcycles because I don’t want synthetic oil in it since some clutches don’t like it. VR-1 haves lots of zinc in it. Oil for motorcycles haves lots of zinc since air cooled motors need it more then water cooled. Yes, even lawn mowers
This is a really good revival series and im loving every second of it. Cant wait to see the final product
Two dudes in the backyard with a tub of petroleum jelly on the car...huh. Loved it like all the rest of the videos. Nice job boys!
I really enjoy watching you bring these cars back to life!!!
That LEE oil filter was a popular staple in the automotive section of many department stores back then.
For future reference, you can still buy oil with zinc, it's called 15w40 diesel oil, works great in old cars.
Rotella, it’s what I run in my pushrod tbi chevys
Just love the sound of that car!
I was never a fan of big US cars, but I'm beginning to change my mind 😍

Amazing, one of the best revival series I've seen. 👍👍
Nice work camera man! You almost got run over, but you still got the shot!
He got paid extra for that shot 🤣
I love watching you dig these finds and fix am' and drive them from sure devastation.
The rotella oil at my dads work still has zinc in it

just want to add that my 55 Pontiac has left handed threads on the studs on the left. You never know what surprises an old car has.
You two are awesome. I bet that old guy was so pumped to hear the old girl bust a donut!
Wonder why they park it. Runs that good with no smoke. To bad it's rusted so bad. Is it restorebl ? Thanks for sharing.

Greatest series ever, you guys do great work!
Just use diesel oil. The Walmart branded diesel oil actually has a quite high quantity of phosphorus and zinc.
Shell rotella T4 has 1200 zinc and 1100 phosphorus.. the API standard has changed in the past few years if it has SN stay away I always use diesel oil for my flat tappet vehicles... With a API of CK4 which use to be CJ4
Good job guys. Looks like it was a fun time.
A video from you guys and vice grip garage in the same day. What a week.
Seeing the process of fixing this makes me want an old mopar. I only have late 70s era cars currently and want to get some early 70s, mid 60s cars
Make me happy. You did right from start. Australia
10k on my flat tappit setup haven't lost the cam yet, solid lifters also, ford 302.
You guys can do this and the local dealer service guy "with 20 years experience" can't even find an exhaust leak!
I love this series and I **LOVE** this car! There's just something about it that really gets to me!
Not sure if it's still there. But there was an old Chevrolet Corvair abandoned in the driveway of an abandoned home between Atkins, IA and Palo, IA. Haven't been by in probably 10 years. I'm actually curious now.

Was the phosphorus, in the oil, the reason the cadylic converters would seal up, and cause them to turn cherry red?
Like the vid, you have me wondering if I should be running zink in my 1971 mercury project.
If you run a flat tappet cam yes. Modern oils contain very little as contamination of the Cat is a concern.
I was also told 15 40 diesel truck oil has the Zink in it because 7.3 diesel trucks are editions exemt
Just goes to show the value in good regular servicing, that motor runs beautiful.
First. Love this series and the hosts, you guys rock!!
So rewarding to see it move under its own power finally. The Hardee’s bottle find was pretty cool too. Were you able to get his reaction to it on camera by chance?
So awesome! Looking forward to you guys getting it on the road. Great job! I know you guys put a lot of work into this. Thanks for sharing!
Nice job getting that 'ol bucket of bolts running again!
Hey, watching you guys and drinking swedish beer, thanks for the entertaining.
A trick I have used to un stick clutches, put the car on all fours, un plug coil wire, press in the clutch and crank it in gear. usually this works good
I use Valvoline VR-1 oil in my older engines. It has plenty of zinc.
Are you guys gonna somewhat restore it? What’s the situation with the body and frame?
btw i got a old ford 2 door with a v6 its been sitting in the back yard for a long long time . if you wanna come get it for $100 needs some crazy work its been sitting for 30 plus years
Happy to see this episode they all have been good and entertaining
Are you using a regular electric submersible fuel pump and just a random old tank to create a bypass portable fuel tank.
what's the issue with using the oil filter with a little bit of rust? wouldn't the tiny bit of rust get caught in the filter
Why was there a jar of vasoline on the windshield cowl ?
You guys remind me of me in the mid 70s early 80s well done.
After you mentioned without having zinc in the oil the flat tappet cam will go flat got me thinking about the early 90's chevy v8's that came with flat tappet cams. Ive seen lots of them with 150,000 or more miles that the cams are fine. Is there something different that ables them to last?
The lower the spring pressures, the less you need. Zinc IS still in oil, just in lesser quantities.
As long as oil is changed every 3k, there is enough zinc for flat tappet vehicles. My tbi 94 Chevy has 180k on it, factory sealed
Part of it too is older cams are made with softer steel. My 61 was notorious for chewing up camshafts even when it was new
Hey I bought a 1970 ford Torino it was siting for like 21 years and I was wondering what should check and change thank you 🙏🏻
Torinos are cool cars, we have a few
are you guys planning on putting the full disk wheel covers and hood back on for part 7?
Oh man I really hope you guys just drive up to the owner. I can't even imagine how happy he'd be!
Love the intro on all these episodes!
same
i just run rottella T in all my rigs, from a ford escort to the volvo to the dodge, and everything is perfect, even in super cold
I just realized: this car was sitting there ~2 years longer than I even exist... amazing to see it still has life in it!
Btw: all 4-stroke carburated cars need that zink additive in the oil? I've heard about the lead-substitute additive to the fuel for the valve seats, but I've never heard about this...
You’ll hear about it when your cam goes flat.
@@Joesmusclecargarage Is it the same as the lead-substitute? Or a completely different stuff?
Should I run a zinc additive in my four stroke quad with a wet clutch
Very cool! What are the plans going forward? Break out the welder and sheet metal?
