 Shiver 1000 here. Today we're gonna be putting this brand new sending unit into the Corvette. Got my little bag of goodies here, my little sock, a couple clamps, gasket. This all comes complete. This was like a hundred and twenty bucks stainless steel. So I'll tell you why we're replacing that here in just a minute. Hang tight guys. Okay so we're replacing this because this wire here for the sending unit has rotted off. This could all be cleaned up fine. This is your sending unit. This is what as this goes up it puts more juice into the fuel gauge as it goes down and gets less juice. So what this does is like this is in like this okay and this is like towards the bottom of the tank. As you put fuel in this raises up when you get up to a full tank it goes clear up there. That's what makes your gas gauge register. Yeah this this was a little rusty. It could have been cleaned up but that wire broke off right there. You can't replace these. You got to replace the whole tank. That's why I got a new one. So and I got a like I said a stainless steel one. I'm gonna wipe my hands off here and I'm gonna take you over. I'm gonna show you the inside of that tank. Okay guys so I'm gonna try to get you in here. I'll put my bore scope down in here but it's not the best. It was like a $15 $12 bore scope or something. But I don't know how well you can see that. Like I said let me get my bore scope out and we'll stick it down in there. But not a drop of rust in there guys. Remember that one guy came in. Hey big big problems here or something like that. Big trouble. Gas tank's got to go. Well that's not up to me. That's up to the bar. It's a project car. No I'm just telling you. If the gas tank is shut it's all because of us. You know. I don't know much about the car. I had it on once. That's it. I appreciate that. You know you can take a part all day long you know but I don't care if it sells or not. Whether it needs gas tank or I don't care what it needs. If somebody wants it for a project car it's not a weekend deal. I get that. I'm just letting you know that the gas tank is shut. Well if I'm going to keep it I'll keep that in mind but I'm not going to keep it. All right very good. Listen I don't mean to upset you. I really don't. Now every day somebody comes by picking a part. Look okay it needs this. It needs that. I get it. I get it. Okay. Okay. That's why it's a project car. It's not something you want to pay four thousand dollars for and drive down the fucking road. Nope. It ain't going to happen. You know. I mean it's a project car. Exactly. It needs gas tank. Well then it needs gas tank. I can't rebuild the fucking car and totally restore it and sell it for four green. And I'm not going to. Of course you can't. Nobody's saying that. Nobody is saying that. I don't care what it needs. I'm telling you everything I know about it and that's it. And I appreciate it. It's a used car. That's it. It's a project car. You're probably going to run into stuff I don't know about. But that's not up to me. That's up to the buyer. I'm telling you what I know about. But that was just one thing I wanted to check was the fuel tank. What the situation is. Yeah I suppose it was. She said it's had a couple years before they moved it over here. So that's always a concern. Today if you don't mind. You know. Whatever. Okay I mean I'm a person. Don't fix the fucking car park. I expect you to think you're going to drag it out of here for a hundred bucks because it ain't going to happen. I don't have to sell it. I'll eat just as good tonight as I did last night. I don't I don't need to sell it. If it don't sell that's fine. It can sit down raw. I don't care. You know. I started working my dad's junk over ten years old. I'm as he certified on about everything you can get certified on. So I don't need to hear a bunch of bullshit about what the fucking car needs. What it's going to take because I already know. And if somebody's interested in it for a project they're going to know too. Which I would I would be approaching this just as that. So it's just a finding. It's just something I just found was okay. Good. Well you know I don't care. It's going to need a tank. So it's just something else to factor into it. That's all. Well I'm factor into it. I don't care. I really don't. You know I had an offer a thousand dollars but I can't pay you for two more months. Can you hold it for me? Fuck that. I'm not. You know it is what it is for a grand take it or leave it. I don't care. The project it's not something you won't put together in two days. Okay. Yeah by smelling it he told me just by smelling that that was full of rust. Well as you can see it's not. So let me get my boar scoop down in there. Hopefully you get the idea how clean that tank is full of rust. Now I had mentioned that you know it looked to me like someone put a new tank in but didn't put a new sending unit in. I can't get over how clean that tank is. I'm just wondering if he didn't replace the tank and stick this old junky thing back down in there. I'd mentioned the other day because that came in her mom asked what's what's that for and monkey said well that's for the Corvette. She said what's that and I told her you know that's the sending unit for the fuel tank for to tell you how much you know for to work your gas gauge and she goes oh because she said I'm thinking right before we parked that thing he put a new fuel tank in it. She said I don't know if you put that thing in it but she said I'm almost positive he put a new tank in there and it sure does look like a new tank on the inside. Now granted they're coated but still that thing is not full of rust. I did wipe it out a little bit. There was a little bit of dirt. A couple little drops of moisture like water but there wasn't no water water in it. When I drained the gas out of it of course the gas was seven years old at least and and it didn't look that great but I drained some I put some into a clear plastic bottle a water drinking bottle. There wasn't any there wasn't any water in it. There was a little dirt and I think it came off that old sending unit. I think it was coming from this so but there wasn't any water to speak of. There was a little bit of moisture when I looked down in there I could see a couple little drops but like I said there wasn't any any rust there was a little bit of dirt. I could get my hand down that little square hole and I could reach all corners of that tank. I wiped it out. Like I said there was a little bit of dirt there was there was no rust. Let me get this thing and I'll show you. You know that's what came out of it. That's it. Like I said a little bit of dirt there was no rust particles on this. I think that was the worst spot that was the first spot I stuck down in there. Okay so enough of rattling on let's put this in here. I'm going to grab a full charge battery and I'll just speed you up through this. Yeah we'll get that in there and that'll be done and that'll be good to go and then all we got left is up front. There's a few things I gotta do. I gotta that bolt hole on the header is uh it's cross threaded. It's not stripped so I think once I pull that header clear off it's only got the three bolts at the bottom for the collector. Once I pull that header clear off I believe I can get a tap in there and straighten them threads out. We'll see if not there's a couple other remedies that you can do that do work. I don't like to do them but I have and they worked fine but we'll get to that when we get to that part. So let me get a battery and let's go ahead and let's get this drop down in here get the fuel pump in and then we'll button this up and this will be ready to go. Okay I'm checking the gauge now I'm going to go back and lift and lower that float so you can watch that gauge. See how it went down now I'm going to raise it back up there it goes up keep going now they make them lazy like that they make them slow so that way if you're going around a turn or something your fuel gauge is not jumping up and down that's why they do that so let's check the fuel pump now all right as soon as this car goes past I'll go ahead and kick the key on and this should come on whoops this pump should come on for a couple seconds and then go out and here we go and it did whoops I'm going to unhook that battery and I got to put my sock on and then we're going to put it in there so stick around guys okay guys I'm going to do this the best I can without getting in your way too awful bad so I put the sock on that way because that's the way that white plastic thing in the bottom goes don't try not to bend that little metal rod because then your fuel gauge will be off one way or the other and you don't want it reading a half a tank when you're on empty okay so this is down in here I put some Vaseline on these bolt holes so like I said I said before I thought this had been out I was right there's nine of these bolts that go around here now this car once we drive it I'm going to pull this off back off there's only four screws to hold this on I'll probably repaint this and I will detail down inside of all this so all right let me speed you up through this because it's kind of boring well actually you see what I'm doing right I'm putting nine of these bolts around there okay so each you can see where they're going to go they're going to go around there I won't go and put them in so you guys can be out of the sun it's another hundred degree day okay so I'm sweating inside the tank all right let me get that on there okay guys as you see we've got this all in here now I gotta try to get this jam down in here as for like if you spill anything whatnot so yeah I I knew this had been out I could I could tell because them them bolts are not going to be crooked from the factory number one I just knew that this thing had been out before there's that now this gets put on here I know it's dirty but damn thing's been set for seven years so these are just little little screws little Phillips headed screws I'm going to see if I got any better ones than that if not I'll pick some up and then we can put them in later so let me see what I got okay I found some there a little bit better uh shoot I gotta get my screwdriver now okay it's just gonna go in there so they got that counter sunk I'll keep the old ones that wagon maybe go to the uh what do you call it the hardware store maybe find some stainless or something like I said this all gonna be it's all gonna be cleaned up I got two more back here that scared me my air hose and this thing is done well the car is not done by any means but the back part of it here is done put our cap on here it's me dude we're gonna bark it at him now we'll blow some of this out watch your ears and eyes and put these up I had to get two new well I got three you know two to use and one to lose I had to get two new clamps these are getting thrown away well like I said I bought three one of them was still good so I'm gonna keep these all right let me get these tools and stuff picked up I'll be back with you so there it is this trunk will not stay on here the uh luggage rack will because the reason why the luggage rack's on here is because you have to have it for your trunk because there's no trunk in these things you got some storage space backing up inside of here but you can put stuff in there you've got a handle this carry it into your hotel room whatnot that won't stay on there let's check the gasket should read empty it's not focusing anyway yep it's reading empty see if I can hear the fuel pump kick on okay it did all right now all right guys I only got four minutes left on this card so I won't call it quits here we're done with that part of it you know I know it wasn't much of a how-to I'm just bringing you along with me as we try to get this thing back road worthy again so that being said thanks for watching guys I appreciate it maybe it did help you in a way some of you maybe but you know anyway again thanks for watching Shea Bear the myth man legend I'm gone for now very hot out we'll see you in the next one bye bye guys and take care
