I had a 1983 Caprice Classic. Owned it for 31 years. THE greatest car I've ever owned. Had a 5.0L V-8 (305 CID), which is exactly the same engine that yours has. That engine compartment is IDENTICAL to mine. If it were me, and if it's in decent shape, I'd leave everything under that hood exactly as you found it. This includes the air pump and any other factory stuff. In the time I drove mine, it NEVER stalled at a red light on a cold morning, and it seldom required more that 2 cranks to kick over. The Rochester Quadrajet was as rugged and reliable as an anvil. It made emissions perfectly. Mechanics used to remark about its originality to me. I never changed the distributor, rotor, module, wires... nothing! These cars are bulletproof. I gave it good oil at regular intervals. The only major drive train issue I ever had was the tranny pump in the 700R4 (which was a common item to fail on these). Thanks for giving this car the TLC it deserves. I hope it gets a happy owner to give it another 40 years of service.

Not that one. It's a worn out rust bucket ready for the crusher. It isn't worth anything. The was a nice car when it was new but it's worn out. But I do agree that nice well cared for examples of these cars from the 1980's may bring a good price but generally speaking most cars from the1980's except certain sports cars aren't considered to be collectable. It just wasn't a great decade but cars were getting better by the end of the 1980's as technology advanced.

May I suggest you obtain a few moveable partitions/walls that you can put on the opposite side of the vehicle when you are pressure washing. Could keep all the nasty spray from getting all over your shop. Keep up the hard work! The older/rarer/longer untouched the vehicle the more enjoyable the video. Cheers gentleman.

This Impala is somewhat rare with a factory vinyl top and AC. It would have been someone's pride and joy when new. Had to chuckle at the burgundy sport mirror off another car. That plush carpet was great.. not like today's velcro stuff.. We did not have a ton of safety features, but we have marvelous carpet to bleed out on!! 😂 Keep up the good work fellas.

Safety tip: When fire comes out of the carb, cease to spray starter fluid and continue to spin the engine over with the starter. It will harmlessly suck the flame back into the engine.
