Почему бы не выкрутить свечи, залить смазку, осиотреть их итд.? Поиграть моментом опережения
Sounds like Christine at her worst.
its almost always valves.
my dad lusted after one of those in 68. ended up with a firebird 400 in 69
Remember guys you crank a tractor you start a car
My parents had a 80" Toranado, was the car i remember the most from my child hood. Was the height of luxury every option including the hood turn light indicators.
Maybe the timing was needing adjustment
It took far to long til they found the problem. Also when a carb spit fire ,,Check the timing and you open the valve covers to see if you got oil pressure ! Even my wife says check the Sparkplugs..! Seems like 2 struggling guys .. A well we move on ! GReets.
Carburetor or step valve
I think you got it stuck valve
Should have taken off the valve covers and removed rockers and dead blow free each of stuck valves
Recent purchased a 69 Toro. Been in storage since 1985. I now have this classic beauty running. I think it's Flamingo Silver. Have installed a new water pump, battery, coil, aluminum radiator, master cylinder, redoing rear brake lines, new tires, new exhaust, back seat reupholstered, rear carpet. Black vinyl top is great. It's quite a project for me but will be worth every dime I spend.
Do you know what you’re doing or is it more of the other guy?
As an old-school-geezer-gearhead, I never got into nor liked anything front wheel drive. I love those Caddys and Olds that have front whhel drive, except the front wheel drive part. To me, front wheel drive has always=wrong wheel drive.
Same sentiment about the 73-76 GMC motorhomes: I love em, but not the drivetrain.
The chips kept the critters from chewing the seats
Great video guys. And thanks for selling me the car. I almost bought it about 2 years ago, but it didn't work out back then. I am planning a very nice driver restoration on it. I have an old car problem, but it's not a bad problem to have. Thanks again and take care, Anthony
On my 39 Pontiac that had been sitting since 56, ( at the 26 yrs) , i took each plug and dipped each one in jelly. Gas. Wiped off the excess. It started on the forth go round!!!
love tornados but, id have kept the spitfire
Those are not 46 year old wheels
Basic things to do when you start a car idling for years is first to clean or replace plugs, clean distributer points , drain oil and put new oil, replace filter , clean the carburetor and clean tank or have alternate tank , check petrol pump . All this done if the engine turns . Better to remove the valve cover and check on valves also. If they are sticking, must release them .
This is a lame effort .
Now go back and get that old pontiac that was in the background ❤
Use a dent puller to just blow out the Ignitionthen use a screwdriver to start it
