  • Should some junk stay in the junkyard? Maybe, but most cars deserve a second chance. In this episode of Roadkill, Finnegan and Newbern give new life to a ’57 Chevy Bel Air that was pulled from a junkyard after more than 30 years. With the help of Flying Sparks Garage, the guys drop in a small-block V-8 and Turbo 350 to get the car back on the pavement for a bumpy road trip back to where it came from.

    Magnets on the bottom or in the bottom attract rust keeps it out of the fuel lines.
    84 corvette fuel filters are 10 micron. Will catch sediment befor it gets in the fuel pump check valves and limits the pumps ability to pull fuel from the tank and hold pressure to the carb.
    Cleaning out fuel lines with a universal speedometer cable core and a variable speed drill works great.
    1994 ford probe 2.0 automatic fuel filters are 10micron and 5/16 hose and cheap. Far better than the transparent plastic versions

    This takes me back to my younger days wen I was driving a beautiful blue 64 Fairlane 2 door stick 6. It used two qts of oil on about a 50 mile drive home one day & I pulled that engine/trans out THAT day & then bought 302 C4 combo from a wrecked 68 Fairlane w/ low mileage on the word of a woman I knew. Initially it would just overheat and blow water out of the radiator until my older brother pointed out my mistake; 6 cylinder radiator w/ a V8. I had to put a Hurst cable shifter in it and after a parts guy at Stark Hickey Ford in Royal oak, Mich. found me a factory dual exhaust system for it I absolutely Loved that car! Now I'm 69 years old , retired and cannot do that stuff anymore but I'd simply Love to do that stuff again!

    Considering you can build an entire 57 chev out of catalog parts and not one OEM part...and it came with a small block...this isn't exactly an impossiblity. should it be driven with worn out bushings and single pot drum brakes? no. but a high school shop class could accomplish this. A 62 AMC Rambler from the rust belt, now that would be interesting to watch.
