All you have to do is , get number 1 up on compression , set the crank balancer mark on 12 degrees on the cam chain cover degree scale , then install the distributor with the rotor button pointing directly at number 1 spark plug wire in the distributor cap , then snug the distributor down enough it will stay there , and start the motor if your getting gas , its that simple , how do I know that ............
probably the same reason I know this stuff.. cuz youve done if for 60 years?
Well, Waylon! I'm right there with you. Last August I had a problem with heat exhaustion that kicked my butt. A month later, when I was just starting to feel like I had a little energy again, Covid hit me for the first time. Kicked my butt again, really bad. The Covid wasn't bad but the way it left me was WAY down. I am a wood turner, I make things out of wood on my lathe, and I really enjoy it. I have only ventured out to my shop a couple of times when someone wanted a specific item made. I also experienced the phenomena of walking into the shop, looking around, and going back in the house. I just didn't have it in me. Last week I finally started spending a little time in the shop every day, just starting to clean it up again, which it needs very badly. I can't make anything until I get it back into order. But I am getting there. There is still a lot we don't know about that virus. At our age, we can't take much of this stuff. Thanks China.
it will get better.. im back to doing stuff again
Now, that is something I've never seen. A camshaft come out with the heart still in the power barn! Cool stuff. Noa changing oil on the ground... Waylon, before I watched your channel I didn't know there was a way to change oil other than on the GROUND. Hahaha
Hello Ken. So very nice to see your beautiful truck looking and running good again ! Nice work Ken.
Great Video! 👍😀
Thanks for the visit
Glad i didn't get the jab, i'm in the shop every day
I fill ya,same thing happened to me I went to my heart dr. he said I had inflamation around my heart from covid, then went to my gastroligest he said I had inflamation around my stomach that was a year ago just now starting to fell normal GOOD LUCK!
Bonus cam footage at the end was epic! thank you.
Glad you had some help Ken! 😁👍 Enjoyed the video as always and happy wrenching to ya 🔧
thank you
Sir, that is a good looking truck, and it sounds great, congratulations on a job well done, and thankyou for making the video and sharing it.
I have had the same problem getting the cam shaft out .
LOL maybe having the dryer running with coveralls would have been a great outro.
Great job.
thanks.. sent you a text while I was in Fresno..was hoping to grab a cup of coffee with you.. never heard back from you.. maybe Pinkie gave me the wrong number..
don't forget the right inner fender
pretty hard thing to forget
Yee haw!!
Glad you got your square body pick up all fixed up I thank you for the video
thanks for watching
You have such a beautiful place
thank you. i feel very blessed
I never use Edelbrock garbage carburetors I just use Holly Holly Holly Holly Holly Holly Holly Holly Holly Holly Holly Holly Holly Holly Holley carbs only
congratulations
Sounds great and you’re teaching Noah a lot of very useful lessons. Great shake your cam pose at the end.
Hey Waylon your back-up lights are out !
wonder how many more people will tell me that
Waylon, it happens to the best of us! Enjoyed coming along with you for this work.
For me,and for Waylon I guess Those hand tools give way more satisfaction,you're not trying to beat Flat Rate and you'll have way less snapped off stuff too The last cam I did was on a Ford I-6 Econoline-we had to make a window in the grill Nobody ever noticed the hack! You can't even come close to buying a beautiful squarebody for $8 grand.Maybe a rust bucket with a oil burner hitting 200,wrapped around the odometer a few times and a slipping trans
Love the music! .. and wow what beautiful scenery!
As I'm watching I had to ask myself,self where is Noah's Brat????? Great content guys as always, your truck sounds great 👍, thanks for sharing 🙏😊.
stay tuned!
Another great visit from our west coast hero and comrade!! God bless Ken!! Great to hear from you
200 for all that water and you have all that property....... Jim Stafford sang about stuff that grew all over his farm 😅😅
No problem my friend !! Glad to be of assistance :)
Thanks again!
Good to see you on the move again. You are not alone in the lack of get up and go dept. This summer hasn't been "normal" for me either. Are you looking for an inner fender for the right side of the truck?
it got mangled in the lift accident. the new one is in that big box in the back
Man, watching Noa use that string trimmer made my back hurt! When it comes to replacing rod and crank bearings... If it ain't knocking, it doesn't need it! I like the ending! You look like a Viking wielding a Claymore!
well he has a young back haha.. I don't remember what the ending was.. I thought I was backing the truck out of the shop.. dont recall "wielding" anything hahaha
@@1963impala2drWaylonWire you kind of looked like a madman wielding that camshaft!
finally saw what you saw.. that was an editing artifact. I didn't even know it was there haha..had to make a thumbnail! haha
Another fine job. I get the doldrums too.
thanks for stopping by!!
Enjoyed the video Ken. Even before Covid I would go to my shop with good intentions. My mind wants to do something constructive but my body just doesn't feel like it. 73 sounds great. Thanks for producing the videos. You be safe and God bless.
Not sure if you’ve heard or not but there’s a Wenatchee cars and coffee this Sunday for vehicles 25 years and older. Should bring something down!
Again with the rubber fuel line ??
nope, its fuel injection line which is resistant to the ethanol. but its still the next thing to go!
Wow she is a glistening star ..
Ken, seriously, do you have a paypal? I enjoy the show, and would like to pay or donate! BTW, Is Noa an EMT yet?
Yes sir .. motivation done motivated gone
That old truck just don’t want to be fixed. I feel for you it’s seems that it is just one thing after another. 😂
hey HI again Waylon ol buddy from the D Mi 😎 hey thanks for sharing another great video and is good to see/hear from you again and I was just thinking about you it's been awhile since you posted a video 😅😮 also I'm glad to see you got big Red rebuilt 🎉👍💖🔥🤩
"Excuses are like noses, everybody's got one.''
I have no excuses. Im just an idiot
What happened to the passenger side wheel well?
it got beat up in the crash , the new one is in the bed of the truck
Also... There no need to have put rollers rockers on that engine. The expense just can't be justified on that engine unless you're going to do a rebuild with a bunch of other upgrades. We all love that fancy stuff until we get the bill!
well, i think they are saying rollers are better than getting a flat cam but I guess one every 15 years isn't bad lol
Those clear plastic fuel filters mounted betwen the carb and fuel pump are a fire waiting to happen. They get old and brittle and prone to rupture
my next project for this truck is to run metal line from the pump to the carb.
What cam grind did you go with? sounds real good. I used the Rotella T4 for years but switched to the Mobil 1 European 0W40 oil instead and been very happy with it in my flat tappet engines. Flows awesome in the winter but still 40 weight when hot, plenty of zinc and phosphorous and noticed reduced oil consumption in some engines using it. Price ain't bad, 12 quart bag in box from walmart free delivery is like $59. Apparently Rotella contains a different type of zinc better suited for low RPM diesel engines and doesn't protect as well at higher RPM but I never had any problems with it so not sure there.
good tip. I also put in a zinc additive
I've noticed a lack of motivation last few years since about 2020. 90% of my projects have stalled it feels. I just dont "feel" like doing anything?! Very odd for me.
Noa has grown into a fine young man.
So happy to see you again. I've been down for the last few months after surgery so I have been craving new videos to keep me occupied. It's awesome to see you and your grandson working together. Those are such important times.
Cool
I keep seeing that broken rear intake bolt (driver side). Why haven't you fixed it ? Eventually it's going to leak water, possibly inside the engine.
I tried, ive heated it, I tried to drill it and use an easy out and I have not been able to get it out. next step is to try and get enough weld on it so I can weld a nut to it and hopefully from all the heat it will turn out. it hasn't leaked yet but I know what you're saying.. I just needed to get it out of the shop for right now.. I won't be driving it this winter.
I'm same way. Got ol squarebody I tore apart about 7 yr ago. Still setting out in garage tore apart. Just can't get back on it.
just make yourself get an hour into it.. I did that and finally got motivated but after 7 years, maybe you should just sell it! haha.. do whats best for "you" man.. for me it was best to get back into it. now I feel like doing other things...
