Start your long day with a fresh K-Cup of RRR premium blend coffee!
Our “Common Sense” brew of coffee is a medium roast (1/3 Java and 2/3 Brazil). It’s low acidity, full bodied, and has a kickin’ taste, and it just makes sense.* You might pick up on a caramel or chocolate taste with this one.
“Manic Morning” is our medium dark offering. (½ Java and1/2 Kenya AA). Balanced sweet and bold, and higher acidity. This is the brew for those who like the taste of coffee, without adding tons of sweetener or cream!

”Intro Music by Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio”
Thanks to Jesse for making the intro and graphic for us to enjoy!!
My moms 78 vette is in need of the same exact thing. She's 80 yrs old and takes it to church and runs errands in it.
Should’ve opened both doors and popped the t-tops loose and the flex in the body wouldn’t have happened
if you don't know it's a power steering control valve maybe you shouldn't be working on it!
god be with the person who has to remove that retaining bolt on the control valve. that thing is wrecked!
Thanks for
The video
I have a 69 vette same exact issue . I have a borgenson kit on the way I’m going to go ahead and do a whole front end refresh while I have it apart
Ahh. I had this issue. I just got rid of the power steering. Will go with an electric upgrade later.
Those pliers are odd shaped!
I take it back on the servo valve, servo is electrical
Would that be a servo valve? Change the directional flow of the hydraulic fluid.
There is a metal shield to protect the hoses on the old steering valve that you didn’t put on the new valve … should it be installed on the new valve?
When it comes to fluids, you need to use what the recommended product is for that Vehicle
Ray why do u always use one hand.
Car’s cool! Channel’s cool! You’re cool!😎
So would comeback be like when I asked my guy to re-tension my clutch cable and then they told me it was done but then the car wouldn’t move and when I asked they were like oh yeah it needs a clutch! Wth guys?
Personally I think you are objectively better than Scotty Kilmer! I don’t get how he has 6.4 mil subs. He doesn’t seem like a mechanic to me, he just seems like someone who has an opinion and anyone who disagrees is stupid. But people watch your videos and somehow find them offensive! Not even close
Do you have new hydraulic lines that came with the kit?
Hey, why didn't you mention there were new hydraulic lines that came with the kit? Hahaha
Might have a small exhaust leak
A-Rod is so much better when he doesn't talk.
Did you remember to grease it, not shown!!
Rubber hose bumped A frame..
Convert to a serpentine system to fix the alternator alignment
A little careless getting fluids on the body is a no no
I have this similar type of setup on my 59 Impala
I hope you attached that ground wire that was hanging down.
What Poor design, beautiful car . Yes let's hit anything and not be able to steer. Smh lol
I find it silly when people have the electric fan and they have the manual fan right behind it and he’s not the first one
That's the steering box for the system.
"I don't know if I want to use pliers on it and scratch up the new shiny part!" …. proceeds to throw new painted hydraulic ram on the floor. 🙄🙄
It sounds like you're deposing the hydraulic system, it's funny.
78 Vette, nice. That's understandable. It couldn't be helped. You're more important than any car.
That's called the "power steering control valve". We just replaced one on our 69 Ranchero. I know someone probably already told you this, but I am just watching this and happen to know!
Took a Google to confirm that in the US a split pin is called a Cotter pin. In the UK a cotter pin is a different beast. 😊
