If you plan on driving an older car daily there are things you need to do to make sure it's going to run and not give you regular problems. I have a 44 year old car that I drive regularly in conjunction with a newer vehicle and it isn't a trouble free vehicle, but I've gone through most of the car since owning it and haven't had any real problems. All I'm saying is that you cant just buy a 50 year old car off craigslist and start driving it every day.
@@shanemorgan8910 so if I maintain a very old car (1960's) I can drive it coast to coast (I'm Canadian). My current car is 2003 Ford Focus and its in good shape.
wolvie45 a family made news for driving cross country in a 1926 pickup. Perfectly possible. Take care of it, make sure it’s in prime run, and plan for every problem. I plan to do a road trip in my 1940 special deluxe.
No way. It's a mistake to think that mere solid metal and lack of integrated circuits makes for reliability -- almost the opposite, in fact. Modern cars are 10x more reliable than any but the best-restored (#1, #2 cond.) classics. They don't call them "crank and hopes" for nothing. And I currently own 4 of them.

Freddy Corven i got a 74 mustang hatchback and i plan on dailying it. It was my dads first daily driver and now it's gonna be mine. Were putting a ranger v6 in it and then ill start driving. That thing was mistreated amd ran on diesel, kerosine, lead gas, unleaded gas and a water gas mixture and its still fixable. The tank currently is full of diesel/gas mix and will run fine with new headers. I just need something newer and better in gas. Going from 26 to 38 miles per gallon.

My C10's 6.3L 383 Stroker with a Edelbrock 750CFM 4bbl carb made an average of 22mpg, most trucks now-a-days say they get 25mpg but average around 13-19mpg. ;]
I expect you had all the lug nuts on every wheel to make sure the car was legal and actually safe to drive on the roads with passengers - check out the front wheel lug nut missing at 5:32 ..... quite apart from the fact that something is wrong with the braking system as well and it will probably fail very soon (hopefully NOT while he's driving it on a public road.... but he will be. Lets just hope a little kid isn't crossing the road when that happens). That thing shouldn't be on the roads in a state like that. Nice gas guzzler though once its done up.
Looks like the starter could use a rebuild. The battery is good, as the interior light didn't dim while trying to start. Engine also has a miss in at least one cylinder. V8 shouldn't chug like that, should be nice and smooth.
you've never restored something. it ran, it drove, its restored! (ish). the anticipation to drive things sometimes is just too much. it always is for me.
That's what I loved about driving my classic until it was dependable. It builds the relationship and you feel the improvements you make to the car every day.
I daily drive a really clean 66 Charger....there is NO problem with an old ride, provided you are SMART enough to make sure that the critical components are up to speed and reliable..
SSGTA440 Thinking the same thing. I daily drive a 65' Stang. Easy AF to get to/fix EVERYTHING and runs like a top. Even drove it 1300 miles through driving rain and snow to Nebraska with ZERO issues. Would trust that car more than ANY computer-laden, smog law choked, modern POS.

Ignore this buncha clowns. Here's why ya SHOULD drive a classic car daily: they're damn good, and if maintained better than this one, they WORK. Modern cars are full of computers and sensors that fail, and if anything goes wrong you probably have to take it to a shop (unless you're experienced on working on the damn things, and have the equipment to do it.) Simplicity is a virtue where any mechanical device is concerned, and that's the bottom line on why modern cars SUCK.
I know what you mean. I drove an orphaned automobile for 2 1/2 years: a 2004 Pontiac AZTEK. It had great gas mileage and tons of cargo room. But it was only one wheel drive, and it had that sight-obstructing wing across the rear window. The computer conked out, because it needed a fuse. Then the mass air sensor died and it would no longer idle. Sure, it was ugly, but so are English Bulldogs, and they grow on you. That vehicle needed a naturally aspirated V8, and a driveshaft-powered rearend. And the unibody both rusted out and started to break in half vertically from the heavily salted, very bumpy roads that my family lives on. I would rather have bolted it's body to a Chevy Blazer chassis and gotten the best of both worlds.
Plus these were built to fucking last. All american steel all american parts. My grandparents drove a 51 pontiac for a long ass time. It kept breaking down though and we didnt have the money to fix it so we sold it to someone who did. Well it was either 51 or 47 I forgot which. I was really really young when they got rid of it.
I have a 1966 Cadillac sedan deville with a 429 engine. I use it as a daily driver and never gave me a problem. I bought it 5 years ago. I love the fact that it has no computers and electronics. My neighbor has a 2015 Cadillac XTS and has had all kinds of problems with it. All electrical.
KvAt The thing is also that with the modern cars today, the dealership knows that the parts aren't going to last long. So, they're the only ones with the parts and tools to fix them. So, they'll charge you an arm and leg to fix it. I remember the old renaults. They were great cars. What color is your renault?😊
Big Rob I was lucky, it's actually a Sport Coupe 500 with the bucket seats with center console, but the 289 isn't original so no K code. *[whispers]* Between you and me though I'd prefer a bench seat haha. Those Caddy's are nice! I love the long sleek body lines.
I have a 16’ corolla, just got it after my 2007 Camry that was mantained like my second wife crapped out at 164,000 miles! Cars are not made how they used to be
Then they go on a adventure to fix the talking car. Which leads them to the governors house to assassinate him They then get thrown in jail with Morgan Freeman and plan to break out. The plan didn't work and were sent to a firing squad in which They woke up in the car with headaches and puke all over.
+Keegon McPherson (Gromable) Headaches and puke is more a drunk then a stoner. How about we change it to waking up with the munchies and covered in chip bags? What do you think? Next week we hang with the Plymouth guys and their 1970 Furry 3 and they have 20 bucks for a bag and 5 for gas......... now where do they go?
I drive a luxury car every day as well, my 1973 Imperial. Any old car can be driven daily as long as you put the work into it. Sometimes it helps to update them a little, like with electronic ignition, disc brakes, radial tires, etc. As long as you are willing to put the work, time, and parts into a car, it can be done. These cars were intended to be daily drivers when they were new. So why not now?
How do you define classic? I daily drive a 1984 FJ40B, and my wife thinks it's a classic and will be best if I only drive him on special occasions. Breaks my heart...
Abdul Jabbar Al Hayyan Classic is 25 years old at least. antique is 30 years old at least. You could get your car registered as an antique and get antique plates on it if you wanted
that means... 92's are classics now... that means the first year Dodge Viper, Jaguar XJ220, Mclaren F1, Ferrari F355, and the first Mitsubishi Evo are now classics
These cars and older were driven everyday for decades on cross country trips and daily commutes. Simple, reliable and easy to repair on the road. It amazes me that young and non car people think its a big accomplishment to drive an old car anywhere. I only drove 1940s, 50s and 60s cars as my daily drivers to this current day. To me they are just more fun and comfortable.
This is why you SHOULD use an old car as a daily driver. a wrench and 45 seconds your up and going? Let's see you do that to a dodge journey!? take you 45 minutes just to locate the battery. let alone all the other bs electrical littered throughout it. Regardless slick car man.
+FlatBastard I find it ironic that this video was uploaded on the same day I got my 1990 Chrysler New Yorker from my granddad. That car hasn't gave me no trouble.
It won't overheat in a few minutes. I leave my 79 f150 running when I won't be gone all that long. Even after 15 minutes, it still doesn't run higher than cruising the interstate. Ford 400. Funny thing, the doors are a different key than the ignition... so I can lock it and leave it running no problem.
The cost of leaded ethyl fuel. I'm not sure which year, or if it is a stock engine, this 4th generation Continental would have one of three drive trains. A 430 cu in (7.0 L) MEL V8, 460 cu in (7.5 L) 385-series V8, 462 cu in (7.6 L) MEL V8, 3-speed Turbo-Drive automatic, or 3-speed C6 automatic. They were heavy, Curb weight 5,000-5,700 lb (2,300-2,600 kg). This Lincoln was heavier than any equivalent from Cadillac or Imperial.
finally someone knows the drill!!!!! i dalily drive my 57 chevy i put arround 13 to 15k miles every year the only time i been on the side of the road is cause i run out gas lol
Come on guys. Everyone knows that horses are better. PROS: Environmentally friendly. All-terrain, lasts for about 25-30 years. Reproduce by themselves so you don't ever have to buy another one. Runs on water and grass. Can rear up and be badass. CONS: Produces exactly 1 HP. Top speed of about 70 km/h Is a 1-seater No suspension, meaning bumpy ride
elmohead pro: gives free nuzzles Never have to change brake pads. MPG is based on what it wants it to be Towing capable Lifetime sealed oil system Amazing sound
that big beautiful car is in need of some work. my 77 nova runs just fine and does 100 miles a day on a moderately maintained 350 with vortec heads and a th350. proper maintenance is required with all rigd bruh
Tony Necas I got an 83 grand prix with a 305 and when I got it the thing ran like dog shit. So when I took apart the engine the rear of the camshaft was absolutely fucked, there was no lobe at all. The fact that it ran and drove an hour in the middle of the winter is just crazy given what condition it was in. Now it has been cleaned up nicely, it has one helluva lumpy cam (sounds amazing), the carb is still original and on the line between ok and broken, and the starter is giving me some problems so thats gonna have to be dealt with. But I absolutely love driving the thing, right now with the carb it is probably only putting out 150-130hp but it still can kick the rear out on the dirt and it sound amazing doing so. So hopefully Im gonna be getting that carb soon so I can enjoy the full potential of the engine.
Thanks for the laugh - love the video & your peanut gallery in the back. Many of us who drive classics have similar adventures, and have similar peanut galleries.
That's to prime the fuel pump/get gas in the lines. The car had just been killed, that wouldn't do diddly. What Rob did was correct. Also, that wasn't even the problem, the starter was loose, so even if he was pressing the gas pedal incorrectly, it wouldn't have mattered.
Strike_Raptor carbureted cars have something called an accelerator pump that squirts extra fuel into the engine when you pump the gas pedal. the purpose of it is so the engine doesn't lean out if you suddenly open the throttle plate. it just happens to also be very useful to add extra fuel when you're starting an engine. but if there isn't any airflow through the carb it won't atomize the fuel. it just puddles in the intake manifold and isn't nearly as effective and make it's very easy to flood the engine with too much gas.
#RobDahm check the timing, sounds like it's too far advanced. That's why it starts so easy initially, and than get harder from there (because the engine is on the verge of knock/ ping) so it's over heating the engine.
One other thing, that ticking sound you hear from the burbling exhaust, is an exhaust leak between the cylinder head and the exhaust manifold (the gasket has given up the ghost ) Best to fix that sooner rather than later. The hot exhaust gasses leaking out there can slowly eat away at the two mating surfaces, creating a bigger pain in the butt later.
Not sure on the engine but it might want a higher grade of fuel. Check the plugs for signs of overheating as well as checking the ignition timing. Good luck finding a dwell meter :) trunk maybe, could be carboned up and causing pre ignition.
That's exactly what happened to my 1978 Chrysler Valiant ( Aussie made version with 4.0 litre straight six. Ended up getting extractors to replace the factory manifold.
Other way around, unless there was some kind of mix-up. Extremely early (advanced) spark timing would cause the opposite effect, it puts more strain on the starter because the spark is occurring early enough that it will try kicking back against the starter. Once had a mech advance spring break, the weights stuck in the advanced position and the engine was so hard to turn over that every time I went to start it, the first attempt would overcome the Bendix spring in the starter and it would pop the starter gear out of the flexplate's teeth. At first I thought my starter was failing, but with a new advance spring the problem disappeared for good. Late (retarded) spark timing will make the engine seem to spin a little too easily while starting, and while running, causes the fuel/air charge to burn while the piston is already beginning to travel downwards. Result is, the charge starts burning in the cylinder but finishes burning in the exhaust manifolds as waste heat, rather than mechanical energy. Heating everything up like that does allow for more complete combustion which is why emissions-controlled cars in the days of primitive catalytic converters were sometimes timed *after* TDC from the factory, but it's also why they were notorious for being gas pigs with overheating problems when new. Cars from the '60s, without emissions controls, generally ran cooler because of the more advanced timing (more mechanically efficient, less fuel wasted as heat in the coolant/exhaust systems), but the trade-off was that the exhaust was more toxic. Once cats were developed more and could effectively burn up the pollutants, they started to advance the timing again, and even more once knock sensors came into play.
Instead of giggling like 14 year old school girls (sorry, 14 year old girls) why not maintain your car to a reasonable, functional level? The car is not the problem. The owner IS!
I daily drive a 78 Chevy C10 Scottsdale. It's actually the only vehicle I have. It's fun to drive and super easy to fix since there aren't any electrical components. I'm actually restoring it and have taken the whole thing apart many times to actually know it and know what's wrong and how to fix it. I love it and it starts up every single time.
Steef S My dad was looking at a 1957 pontiac in a local junkyard that was in great shape, sadly we didn't have the money at the time so we couldn't get it.
exactly, I drive a '78 bmw e12 that drives so smooth, no rattling interior, no wind noise, everything works and no hassle. And fun to drive. I used to have a modern car too but couldn't be bothered to drive that anymore: boring and problems with engine management.

I know what you mean. I drove an orphaned automobile for 2 1/2 years: a 2004 Pontiac AZTEK. It had great gas mileage and tons of cargo room. But it was only one wheel drive, and it had that sight-obstructing wing across the rear window. The computer conked out, because it needed a fuse. Then the mass air sensor died and it would no longer idle. Sure, it was ugly, but so are English Bulldogs, and they grow on you. That vehicle needed a naturally aspirated V8, and a driveshaft-powered rearend. And the unibody both rusted out and started to break in half vertically from the heavily salted, very bumpy roads that my family lives on. I would rather have bolted it's body to a Chevy Blazer chassis and gotten the best of both worlds.
Plus, the parts were all interchangeable.
Plus these were built to fucking last. All american steel all american parts. My grandparents drove a 51 pontiac for a long ass time. It kept breaking down though and we didnt have the money to fix it so we sold it to someone who did. Well it was either 51 or 47 I forgot which. I was really really young when they got rid of it.
Correct
I have a 1966 Cadillac sedan deville with a 429 engine. I use it as a daily driver and never gave me a problem. I bought it 5 years ago. I love the fact that it has no computers and electronics. My neighbor has a 2015 Cadillac XTS and has had all kinds of problems with it. All electrical.
KvAt The thing is also that with the modern cars today, the dealership knows that the parts aren't going to last long. So, they're the only ones with the parts and tools to fix them. So, they'll charge you an arm and leg to fix it. I remember the old renaults. They were great cars. What color is your renault?😊
Big Rob
Preach brotha! Daily drive a '63 Ford Fairlane myself with a 289 and C4 setup, she's so fun to drive.
Lance Uppercut I love the old cars. My 66' cadillac has bench seats which are really comfortable. You're 63 fairlane has bench seats also. 😊😊😊👍👍👍👍👍
Big Rob
I was lucky, it's actually a Sport Coupe 500 with the bucket seats with center console, but the 289 isn't original so no K code. *[whispers]* Between you and me though I'd prefer a bench seat haha.
Those Caddy's are nice! I love the long sleek body lines.
I have a 16’ corolla, just got it after my 2007 Camry that was mantained like my second wife crapped out at 164,000 miles! Cars are not made how they used to be
stoners in cars that don't run
That would make a better title!!! Today on Stoners in cars that don't run we hang with the Lincoln boys while they get cranked!!! Lol Keep Rocking!!!
Then they go on a adventure to fix the talking car.
Which leads them to the governors house to assassinate him
They then get thrown in jail with Morgan Freeman and plan to break out.
The plan didn't work and were sent to a firing squad in which They woke up in the car with headaches and puke all over.
+Keegon McPherson (Gromable) Headaches and puke is more a drunk then a stoner. How about we change it to waking up with the munchies and covered in chip bags? What do you think? Next week we hang with the Plymouth guys and their 1970 Furry 3 and they have 20 bucks for a bag and 5 for gas......... now where do they go?
Rocker Pat
Too the zoo to talk to president lion
+ScottySquatch It's great to be King!!! Lol Keep Rocking!!!
did you try putting the hub cap back on?
MrTruck1012 no, they used it as a plate for their munchies. Stoners
"Have you tried putting the hubcap back on" Made me spill my beer when laughing. You owe me a beer god damnit.
I drive a luxury car every day as well, my 1973 Imperial. Any old car can be driven daily as long as you put the work into it. Sometimes it helps to update them a little, like with electronic ignition, disc brakes, radial tires, etc. As long as you are willing to put the work, time, and parts into a car, it can be done. These cars were intended to be daily drivers when they were new. So why not now?
The laughs aren't creepy at all...
that one dudes laugh sounds like bubble bass from spongebob.
SHoTs FiREd lmao
SHoTs FiREd im dying
You guys all just quietly calmly dying of laughter made it so much better.
This video should be called, "watch as I drive around with my friends, in a classic car I don't maintain"😕 just fits the video way better. Ijs🤷
are your brothers comedians? they are actually pretty funny lol
Pretty funny for useless assholes.
Jim Ervin Fuck off Jim.
hohoho
Your friends are exactly like mine. No sympathy at all when stuff goes wrong lol
I drive a 1979 Ford Fairmont to high school and I love it better then a new car
I love driving old cars especially a 1955 Ford Fairlane
Why you should daily drive a classic car!
I third this
I forth this
How do you define classic? I daily drive a 1984 FJ40B, and my wife thinks it's a classic and will be best if I only drive him on special occasions. Breaks my heart...
Abdul Jabbar Al Hayyan Classic is 25 years old at least. antique is 30 years old at least. You could get your car registered as an antique and get antique plates on it if you wanted
that means... 92's are classics now... that means the first year Dodge Viper, Jaguar XJ220, Mclaren F1, Ferrari F355, and the first Mitsubishi Evo are now classics
I like how your brothers just chilling in the backseat watching you embarrassing yourself lmao
Sherron thats what they're for 😂😂 trust me
Sherron fuck you
Sherron that's what brothers are for.
I can't imagine watching this video as baked as these two guys... I'm stone cold sober and it's hilarious
Ahh the memories... Most people today don't know the joy that came in the old days from the car actually starting when you turned the key. Nice ride.
I'd daily that Lincoln any day
CreepingWolf925 as long as it's stick cuz then when in doubt push
Well that's my fill of Dahm laugh for the next year or so.
These cars and older were driven everyday for decades on cross country trips and daily commutes. Simple, reliable and easy to repair on the road. It amazes me that young and non car people think its a big accomplishment to drive an old car anywhere. I only drove 1940s, 50s and 60s cars as my daily drivers to this current day. To me they are just more fun and comfortable.
That was just to funny!! Loved the hub cap rolling down the road and the rocky music. All of it was very entertaining.
The Rocky music was perfect lmao.
Dudes sound like Alvin, Simon and Theodore when you laugh
rootytootbananaboy about as annoying also
But in reality the Chipmunks knew more about cars than them
I love how I can see the person in the red truck next to you, watching, wondering if he should help
This is the most accurate depiction of driving a classic car
By the time the 4 rotor is done JR Garage will have a chance to actually sell enough lemonade to buy a Ferrari.
Mel's 12valve they have a Ferrari lol
Bailey Rodgers I know. But any normal person knows he didn't buy anything other than a car freshener for it.
Mel's 12valve By the time 4 rotor is completed, there will be 6 rotor available crate engines available.
PPRE RX4 6B look it up it is a 6 rotor
taipeikartman Dont you mean available?
This is why you SHOULD use an old car as a daily driver. a wrench and 45 seconds your up and going? Let's see you do that to a dodge journey!? take you 45 minutes just to locate the battery. let alone all the other bs electrical littered throughout it.
Regardless slick car man.
Yeah, right? New cars are built so you can't fix the fucking things. Classic all the way.
+FlatBastard I find it ironic that this video was uploaded on the same day I got my 1990 Chrysler New Yorker from my granddad. That car hasn't gave me no trouble.
+FlatBastard Easy to work on too.
I'm running a 1967 ford P5. Going to V6 swap it very soon.
What kind of cars are YOU talking about? Stop yapping buddy.
Their laughs are so contagious. They're all so happy. One of a kind group of friends.
Their laughs remind me of my goat.
I was wondering why he shut it off when he pulled in to pick up the hub cap
it probably oveheats lol
When you own a classic car it runs better when it's off.
have you driven old school cars?
Overheat my man
It won't overheat in a few minutes. I leave my 79 f150 running when I won't be gone all that long. Even after 15 minutes, it still doesn't run higher than cruising the interstate. Ford 400. Funny thing, the doors are a different key than the ignition... so I can lock it and leave it running no problem.
The cost of leaded ethyl fuel.
I'm not sure which year, or if it is a stock engine, this 4th generation Continental would have one of three drive trains. A 430 cu in (7.0 L) MEL V8,
460 cu in (7.5 L) 385-series V8,
462 cu in (7.6 L) MEL V8,
3-speed Turbo-Drive automatic, or
3-speed C6 automatic.
They were heavy, Curb weight 5,000-5,700 lb (2,300-2,600 kg). This Lincoln was heavier than any equivalent from Cadillac or Imperial.
Mmm that's some fresh upholstery you got there.
This video was great, and very relatable! Lmao one of my favorite ones I have watch of yours.
It’s always great how you’re frantically trying to get the car to start then there’s a bunch of drunk people laughing at you being helpful
Well if you actually maintain, restore it properly, and fix what's wrong it should maybe work:/. I daily a 66 caprice small block
matthew herrera daily drive bro. we both get around in 51 year old cars.
matthew herrera I daily a 64 gmc pickup with a 383. (rip my gas mileage)
finally someone knows the drill!!!!! i dalily drive my 57 chevy i put arround 13 to 15k miles every year the only time i been on the side of the road is cause i run out gas lol
matthew herrera thats how its done, brother.
I daily drive a 76 Ford f250 Custom Explorer! 360, 4 barrel, 5 speed with original 16 inch rims! I never break down, because I have 3 tanks on it lol!
Engine ignition timing advanced too far.
My thoughts too!!!
Come on guys. Everyone knows that horses are better.
PROS:
Environmentally friendly.
All-terrain, lasts for about 25-30 years.
Reproduce by themselves so you don't ever have to buy another one.
Runs on water and grass.
Can rear up and be badass.
CONS:
Produces exactly 1 HP.
Top speed of about 70 km/h
Is a 1-seater
No suspension, meaning bumpy ride
elmohead pro: gives free nuzzles
Never have to change brake pads. MPG is based on what it wants it to be
Towing capable
Lifetime sealed oil system
Amazing sound
A horse has not only 1 hp, it has almost 3 hp
🤣🤣🤣🤣 did you try putting the hub cap back on?? Was my favorite of all the insults!!
that big beautiful car is in need of some work. my 77 nova runs just fine and does 100 miles a day on a moderately maintained 350 with vortec heads and a th350. proper maintenance is required with all rigd bruh
Tony Necas fuck yeah I'm in a 76
Tony Necas I got an 83 grand prix with a 305 and when I got it the thing ran like dog shit. So when I took apart the engine the rear of the camshaft was absolutely fucked, there was no lobe at all. The fact that it ran and drove an hour in the middle of the winter is just crazy given what condition it was in. Now it has been cleaned up nicely, it has one helluva lumpy cam (sounds amazing), the carb is still original and on the line between ok and broken, and the starter is giving me some problems so thats gonna have to be dealt with. But I absolutely love driving the thing, right now with the carb it is probably only putting out 150-130hp but it still can kick the rear out on the dirt and it sound amazing doing so. So hopefully Im gonna be getting that carb soon so I can enjoy the full potential of the engine.
Fuck yea me too! 77 nova !
this is actually the funniest video i have seen in months
Thanks for the laugh - love the video & your peanut gallery in the back. Many of us who drive classics have similar adventures, and have similar peanut galleries.
Their laughs cracked me up 😂 make more videos like this please it's hilarious
You know, it would start a lot easier if your initial timing wasn't at 87 degrees.
SuperKONR Yeah seriously can't any of them tell how slow it's cranking. Just too busy making nerdy comments
Rob S It makes me cringe so bad. At first I was thinking the starter was just needing replacing
if you don't look back at your car when leaving it then you didn't get the right car
This is great! Y’all are funny, and your laugh is great lol
Funny stuff. I enjoyed the helpful troubleshooting tips provided from the dudes lounging in the back of the car.
Last time I was this early my girlfriend left me
Rob Dahm not be a know it all but you're supposed to pump the gas a 5 or 6 times before you turn the key not while turning it over.
Karl Hopkins I guess you can't be a know it all of you're too busy being a dumbass.
That's to prime the fuel pump/get gas in the lines. The car had just been killed, that wouldn't do diddly. What Rob did was correct. Also, that wasn't even the problem, the starter was loose, so even if he was pressing the gas pedal incorrectly, it wouldn't have mattered.
Strike_Raptor carbureted cars have something called an accelerator pump that squirts extra fuel into the engine when you pump the gas pedal. the purpose of it is so the engine doesn't lean out if you suddenly open the throttle plate. it just happens to also be very useful to add extra fuel when you're starting an engine. but if there isn't any airflow through the carb it won't atomize the fuel. it just puddles in the intake manifold and isn't nearly as effective and make it's very easy to flood the engine with too much gas.
Strike_Raptor yea ik it wouldn't have mattered but just incase he didn't know for when he cold starts it.
#RobDahm check the timing, sounds like it's too far advanced. That's why it starts so easy initially, and than get harder from there (because the engine is on the verge of knock/ ping) so it's over heating the engine.
One other thing, that ticking sound you hear from the burbling exhaust, is an exhaust leak between the cylinder head and the exhaust manifold (the gasket has given up the ghost ) Best to fix that sooner rather than later. The hot exhaust gasses leaking out there can slowly eat away at the two mating surfaces, creating a bigger pain in the butt later.
Not sure on the engine but it might want a higher grade of fuel. Check the plugs for signs of overheating as well as checking the ignition timing. Good luck finding a dwell meter :) trunk maybe, could be carboned up and causing pre ignition.
That's exactly what happened to my 1978 Chrysler Valiant ( Aussie made version with 4.0 litre straight six.
Ended up getting extractors to replace the factory manifold.
Other way around, unless there was some kind of mix-up.
Extremely early (advanced) spark timing would cause the opposite effect, it puts more strain on the starter because the spark is occurring early enough that it will try kicking back against the starter. Once had a mech advance spring break, the weights stuck in the advanced position and the engine was so hard to turn over that every time I went to start it, the first attempt would overcome the Bendix spring in the starter and it would pop the starter gear out of the flexplate's teeth. At first I thought my starter was failing, but with a new advance spring the problem disappeared for good.
Late (retarded) spark timing will make the engine seem to spin a little too easily while starting, and while running, causes the fuel/air charge to burn while the piston is already beginning to travel downwards. Result is, the charge starts burning in the cylinder but finishes burning in the exhaust manifolds as waste heat, rather than mechanical energy. Heating everything up like that does allow for more complete combustion which is why emissions-controlled cars in the days of primitive catalytic converters were sometimes timed *after* TDC from the factory, but it's also why they were notorious for being gas pigs with overheating problems when new.
Cars from the '60s, without emissions controls, generally ran cooler because of the more advanced timing (more mechanically efficient, less fuel wasted as heat in the coolant/exhaust systems), but the trade-off was that the exhaust was more toxic. Once cats were developed more and could effectively burn up the pollutants, they started to advance the timing again, and even more once knock sensors came into play.
“Did you try putting the hub cap back on?” That one got me
“They may break but they’re never broken” -regular car guy
Instead of giggling like 14 year old school girls (sorry, 14 year old girls) why not maintain your car to a reasonable, functional level? The car is not the problem. The owner IS!
Ytxmak Exactly
they tell us why we shouldn't drive classic cars even though that is the biggest shit box i have ever seen.
SHoTs FiREd I don't think I'd even trust it to hold shit properly.
It needs a tuneup, and work
Which is why they shouldnt own one
My daily driver is an 88 chevy silverado stepside 5.7 stock with extractors , undercover parking and regular service and i got no issues
You guys had me laughing pretty hard, good stuff!
This movie is called hangover 5! The Chinese guy helped fix thier car.
I love how your brothers are just fucking with you the entire time, made for a great time.
Have you tried putting the hub cap back on had me dyin'🤣🤣🤣🤣
“Lady luck is on my side” literally not even 1 second later *car breaks down*
OMG.. that hub cap.. just committed suicide... LOL.. I am dying 😝😝
Sounds like chipmonks and pigeons.
I daily drive a 78 Chevy C10 Scottsdale. It's actually the only vehicle I have. It's fun to drive and super easy to fix since there aren't any electrical components. I'm actually restoring it and have taken the whole thing apart many times to actually know it and know what's wrong and how to fix it. I love it and it starts up every single time.
I've dailyed a 31 year old BMW for the last 4 years. They will keep breaking until they don't break anymore 😘
My dads daily is a 1955 Buick
Steef S Can yu show us?
Steef S My dad was looking at a 1957 pontiac in a local junkyard that was in great shape, sadly we didn't have the money at the time so we couldn't get it.
My ride is a 1963 Impala
Classic cars: I'm too tired. 😓
Future cars: I need Battery! 😡
It's just funny that in GTA V, classic cars were still functioning really well just like new cars. AFAIK, it's depends on how do you look after them.
Oh yeah, except "Beater cars"
exactly, I drive a '78 bmw e12 that drives so smooth, no rattling interior, no wind noise, everything works and no hassle. And fun to drive. I used to have a modern car too but couldn't be bothered to drive that anymore: boring and problems with engine management.
A car is a machine just like any other. You keep up with it like it's supposed to be kept up with, it'll work forever.
Gta 5 is fucking trash
@@abovethelaw4417 yikes
daily drive my torino gt every day the weather permits it.
This was freaking great. Your friends made this video
"Have you tried putting the hub cap back on" i seriously started dying of laughter 😂
The giggle brothers in the back were killin' me!
The blinker fluid is probably low...
