I had a 1970 SS El Camino that was fully restored and hot rodded to the max. She was so fast and good looking. Absolutely my most favorite car ever. I would just about sell my soul for that car there lol. Hopefully you will give her the love she deserves and a good long life. She's an absolute beauty.
Fill the carbs thru the vent tubes to the bowls….she will stay running alot longer than just pouring it down the carb
Came across your channel by chance, and a shout out from America, when you see someone appreciate these older American muscle cars like you have you have earned respect as a car guy to another car guy you have a amazing find these Elcaminos are Unicorns in this good of shape barn finds 👍👍👍
As an American, I was thrown off seeing a LHD El Camino on the short and paid no attention to it thinking it was from one of the American Channels. Great Find, and we're jealous of the things y'all got like the 70 series, Patrols, and the Barra. Can't wait to see more and keep up the good content.
You can have all the barras and patrols just send more American classics!
@@sickpuppycody I agree
You guys are missing out on the best ford things. Like falcons, sohc, barra and so many more + many different brands and Australia only cars
@@snapped4433 Send me a Falcon 2 door coupe. 😊
@@jamiemckechnie3662 Na you ant getting any xb's 😂
Glad that ole Chevrolet found a good Aussie home
What a find! A true American classic! I've owned a lot of different years of elcamino's but never a 70. Looking forward to seeing more of this
Thanks Cody, iv wanted an el camino forever!!!!! Cant wait to see you get this back up and running
Best year elco in my opinion. ‘68/‘72 cant go wrong
1970, for the El Camino, was a great year !
Thanks for sharing my friend, Kirk from Louisiana USA 🇺🇸👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
please keep the same look and colors
beautiful find.
can't wait for the charger! I am with you!
That car looks killer.
I love watching barn-find, will-it-start, videos, and 99% of the guys who do them well are overseas, being an El Camino, when I clicked, I thought you were somewhere in the USA, and then I heard the accent, and I was like this fella’s an Aussie! Well done mate, for a guy working by himself, in a driveway on a foreign car, you totally smashed it. I just subscribed, we’re in this together now! Peace and love from SA!
Legend mate thank you! From North Queensland
@@sickpuppycody Love your videos. Derek with Vice Grip Garage could give you any advice on that El Camino. He's a Chevy guy. I had a 68 Charger with a 383.
Fellas a legend aye. She’s very similar to what I’m used to just the hard part it’s getting parts at the right price here in aus. I got a 69 mustang I’m waiting on parts for as well. Man I love the 68 chargers
@@sickpuppycody Mopar or No Car!
@@sickpuppycody Send me a Valiant charger.
This now is my favourite vehicle
That car is the definition of awesome!!!
What a tuff customer! sounds mean and clean as hell man. I love this car, my dream vehicle.
Found your video thanks to Junkyard Digs. Such an amazing car in America, let alone Australia.
Glad you enjoyed it
Found your video because of junkyard digs also! Love your enthusiasm! Nothing better than that nervous energy and getting the shakes when working on an old car that hasn’t ran in years!
American here, thats a sick El Camino. My grandpa had one when i was a kid, wasnt a V8 tho. Seeing this makes me want to go out and wrench on my squarebody! cant beat a small block chevy
The black and Moss makes that blue paint look neet And wow at how it came out after the cleaning
It's just great to see someone so excited!!!
Very cool, that's my favorite year for the El Camino
Great work, look forward to seeing the progress as you get her running and make her a killer ride again
I got so excited when she fired up! Giggling like a school kid haha
Diesel oil for all the Zinc. Lovely spaghetti wiring for you to enjoy. Thumbs up !
Gday mate, I'm a spanner thrower over in NZ and I gotta say the clear passion you have and genuine excitement to see this old girl being revived is inspirational af, and it happens to be the ute version of my dream car 😂 bloody choice to see you going places man much love from this side of the ditch and can't wait to see more of this thing, cheers bud 🍻
Thanks mate. Super glad you like it
So happy for you on getting it running.
Nice work. The dipstick on the driver side, below the breather is the engine oil. A chevy will work with anything that qualifys as a lubricant. We usually st as y on the high side, 10-40 or even straight 30w. The dipstick you checked on the passenger side at the back is for the transmission. The dipstick tube is also the filler tube. Check power steering pump on driver side too(belt driven). Chevys are tough, you probably don't need to pull that motor, it will come back fine! The balancer is interference fit, but fix the bolt before any serious shakeout;)
Depending on the type of cam, she needs zinc additive. The zinc acts as a sacrificial layer of lubrication on the flat tappet cam. Other than that, she's a peach!
I just bought a 1966 El Camino 3 weeks ago. I live in Washington state. I have 2 1966 Chevelles, one with a 427 that I’ve had for 43 years now and I have a 1966 Chevelle convertible that I’ve had for 20 years now that’s nice. It has a 283. I also have a 1970 Monte Carlo that I bought a couple of years ago because someone in Australia needs one. It has a 402 big block and is in nice original condition but had a bad rod bearing and chewed up the crank. I bought the parts to make the differential a 12 bolt posi. It has new 3:73 gears and a new posi unit, bearings and axles. The interior is original and in nice condition. I’d love to come visit and help my new Australian friends work on it. All of my close friends died. Heart attack, brain cancer and a vehicle accident all within about a year of each other. They were the best and we all lived in the same neighborhood.
Junk yard digs gave you a shoutout that's how I found you , glad he did mate I honestly never knew this channel existed . Got my sub and my like mate and can't wait to watch more of your videos when home . Just watched this one during smoko ❤️
Legend brother thank you 🤙
Cody, Looks like either a 283 or 305 tricked out just fine! You have a classic ride here. Any way, you really lucked out finding this gem. Every guy has to have a muscle car or truck to "play" with!
307 cubic inch 200 horsepower V8 (base)
350 cubic inch 250 horsepower V8 (optional)
350 cubic inch 300 horsepower V8 (optional) 1970 El Camino Engine Options
283 and 305 are ten years apart and totally different from each other. 327 and 283 are closely related and both small journal high rpm engines..
A 283 doesn't have a crank bolt. Looks like a 350. It sounds way over carbureted.
@ 17:40 mark... yes Folks, passion for something is Free! Carry on Mate!!
From Detroit Michigan here. I had a 70 El Camino, enjoyed it. Had a 69 Dodge Charger 440 too. They are really cool cars.
Another one saved! Congrats on finding that and bringing it back to life, excellent video 🔥
Monitor energy logos on The blower was a nice Rig when it was hot roded cool video Cody
A tunnel ram is the first sign you're going to have problems getting it running. Great job!.
Oh yeah baby ! 😃 this elco is sweeeet ! She wants some love and TLC
I was just passing by.. saw the El Camino and was hooked..

Great video man, glad you got it figured out.
This is my all time favorite Utility , lucky score, love it!
Yes! Love your enthusiasm! Look forward to the next one!! :)
This made me so happy to watch
I never was much for elcaminos as a kid in the 90s, there were several in my small town back then. Now being older.. man there awsome, wouldnt mind having one for sure, a car that could haul my dirtbike🤘! Also theres something i love about the 70/80s wheel and tire staggered setup like this, it's not popular and alot of people dont like it these days but that's exactly how I'm setting up my 79 transam. Either solid dish centerlines or with the circle hole cutouts like this. Frickin awsome 👌
Just found your channel tonight (in the USA). Great "will it run" video!! Great attitude, too! Subscribed! Thanks!
That's one sweet ride ! Keep up the good work
I love it just the way it with big tires on the back it has that old-school appeal I could only imagine the looks at the guy guy that was driving this car when he built it
Love it sounds absolutely mint 😁👍👍🍻
Those meats on the back and the tunnel ram! 😍
Hell yea! Love it!!!

Just came across this video. My very first vehicle was a 70 El Camino. My biggest automotive regret is letting it go. I'm halfway through the video and sooo excited for you! I'm in Texas and can't find one I can afford! I hope it's the ripper that it looks like and you have an absolute blast with it!
Great video, looking forward to seeing your car project videos and what you end up with!
