    I'm 31, and I miss an era I never experienced. 40s-80s, when things were made sturdy, chunky, resilient, and functional. Literally everything I currently see around me as I look around my room, my house, and the street outside, is just paper mache style of cheap, disposable, replaceable, mostly Chinese-made crap, mostly plastic, and thin aluminum at best when talking about cars specifically. The walls and insulation of my house included, just cheap materials, nothing else is available, even the cars parked outside, generic, boring, safe designs.

    This can be a really nice ride. 53s are cool. My mom had a 2 tone green 53 Bellaire & a 1947 Plymouth fastback. Both were super cars-both were green. P.S. Those 1 barrel carbs are easy to flood out. Terrible music-not necessary.

  • @stephenandloriyoung5716
    @stephenandloriyoung5716 16 днів тому

    When starting a cold engine, close the choke. The engine is cold if it hasn't run today, let alone this century. This enriches the air/fuel ratio. This start was accomplished through enriching the A/F ratio by adding gas through the carb throat, and, by pumping the gas pedal, through the accelerator pump circuit of the carburetor. These steps compensated, partly, for what the choke is designed to do, when it is closed. After a lot of unnecessary cranking, it finally started, but I suspect it could have been a lot easier. Engines are designed to run. You just have to meet the conditions they need. A cold engine needs an enriched air/fuel ratio. Look down the carb throat. This two barrel carb has two accelerator pump discharge nozzles, each of which will squirt gas down toward the intake manifold when the throttle plates are opened. If there is gas in the float bowl, they will work, unless obstructed or the accelerator pump's seal has deteriorated. The original seal was leather, I think, and may have dried out. If the nozzles are squirting, close the choke and crank, not longer than seven or eight seconds at a time. If the engine isn't at least kicking, by the third try, check to see which conditions you aren't meeting. I hope these two cents worth will be useful. Really really nice car. I've had a 53 since 1975.

    Brings back memories of my father's '53 Pontiac Chieftain. Straight-8, Hydramatic, built like a tank. This '51 even has a radio! And a standard shift! My father, when told a radio would cost $100 extra, said, "For that kind of money, I can whistle and be happy!" I remember how that straight-8 idled on my father's car. Easygoing at 450 rpm.
