1. Choice of the model. The choice of the model is generally determined by the humour of the induction port andthe shape of the pipe. The solex type fv (with vertical offtake) can aye be adaptedwhatever may be the humour of the port. The solex type fh (with horizontal offtake) isonly intended for monobloc engines having a single induction port and when fitting like it isnecessary to be sure that there is sufficient pate of petrol to supply the carburettor regardlessof the inclination of the horse or appliance
First gear, shut off the engine, it will slow down.
Great work getting it running better. A potential 2 door convertible conversion while you are on a roll. Columbo replica 😁😁
This is a great car. A week worth of fettling would make it a nice driver.
“It’s not like there’s no brakes on the car,they’re just in the trunk”😂
At least put an anchor in the car that you can throw out the window!
That is one of your best lines ! Made me chuckle anyway.
At least the brakes are "in the car"... Maybe not where Peugeot would like them to be😆
You're not crazy...all my junkers run. Lt Columbo would be proud!
I was hoping someone would mention him
@@jack002tuber Excuse me sir, just one more thing…😂
@@MrsSunshine75 I'm sorry to bother you....
I’m one of the Magnificent Seven….. people who are happy to see the 403 getting some love and putting a smile on various faces! 👍
Happy to be one of the seven. Now you need Columbo asking "Just one more Question"
Thanks for the weeknight show.
Repair of a Columbo car: "Just one more thing"
@@jack002tuber Well, Columbo's was a 2-door convertible, but when was the last time anyone saw one.
"Well now, you gotta forgive me here, I'm just a simple detective..."
@@mannywilliams6409
Heck, i have never seen Any 403 in the wild, let alone a 2 door rag top.
Lieutenant Columbo--eat your heart out! 😆 "Mr. Newstead: Just one more thing..."
I kept thinking of his convertible too.
I think the last time I saw a 403 was a Columbo re-run. Can't recall seeing them on the road. But I think they were always rare on Long Island, NY.
We are one of the seven who like this kind of thing. It may be underpowered and rough, but this Peugeot has plenty of character!
Solex Saturdays!
French car Pride Month!❤❤
There are a lot more of us than seven liking this car! Every French car you have is interesting in one way or another. Keep having them in the show. Not everyone is a 1960’s American car junky!
Peugeot 403 is a 'motor' from the Cold War era.
That Peugeot needs a full restoration!
It probably wouldn't take as long to restore as the Citroën SM which seems to have taken a back seat....
The waiting list is so long i don't know if the 403 is even on it.
I am on the couch watching the Oilers loosing game 3 to Florida while watching Cold War Motors on my phone 😂
I would make some smart-ass remarks about French cars.. but I don't want to have to stand in line. Cheers, all the best and see you Saturday
Keep fixing up the weird little French cars! Most of my old cars have been/are American, but I have been collecting parts for years for a little 1958 Renault 4CV I rescued. I hope to get started on that one soon. Thanks for the inspiration!
We've got a British-assembled 4CV, interesting little cars
That peugeot sounds like an 1800 iron hay cutter.
At 10:14 you should have added tire screeching sound affects 😅
The Colombomobile Lives!!!
It's such a happy little car. What's there not to like about a 403?
The French are known for their engineering. And how different it is! See you Saturday.
The French copy nobody, and nobody copys the french.
Is that a compliment or insult?
@@waiting4aliens Absolute compliment, no matter brass worm diff or hydropneumatique or long swingarm underbodies or five-door-saloon in friggin' 1961 (Renault 4) or front wheel drive in friggin' 1934 (Citroën Traction Avant) or extreme lightweight full GF bodies on zinked tin-monocoques (Matra-Renault Espace and Avantime). That all was before "PSA" and "Stellantis" though .... sic transit gloria mundi.
@@waiting4aliens As a - now retired - European mechanic, I think I can speak for most of the non-French ppl in the trade, and say we have a love/hate relationship with French cars. 🥸😅
And from what I gather, an absolute PITA for most to maintain ...😉
I've never seen a Peugeot 403 in Nebraska. Not many French cars around here.
You know I love that car...
I learned to drive on a Simca .My first car was a Simca 1000 . And I was one of the lucky who bought a Simca 1204 at the clearance sale. Yeah, French cars are neat.
Yes! Thursday night is awesome now! Beer time!
I’m definitely one of “the seven”. I had to go inventory my Solex carb kit tin. Fortunately nothing was amiss.
Yippee!
The Peugeot 504 pickup was the truck of the 3rd world before Toyota came along. All the former French territories that still had ties to France, they were everywhere with all kinds of utility beds bolted on.
Not just the former French colonies, Peugeots of all types were very common in the English speaking parts of Africa too, 203, 403, 404, 504. Unbreakable.
Columbo drove a 403 cabriolet, had great taste too, we love the the quirky nuggets and clunkers!
I'M insane he says and laughs. Yep agree.
You shift from 1st to 2nd gear with elegance and finesse.
I used to ride to school in a nearly new 403, in Brussels. Liked it just fine.
"You know, Sir, my wife, Mrs. Columbo, thinks I get carried away with details, but sometimes it helps me in my work. When you said your partner must have driven the car over the cliff, that's where you made your mistake. You see, the Peugeot 403 has a worm gear in its rear end. When our technician opened the casing, he found that worm gear in a million pieces. We know you nerfed your partner over that cliff, because if he'd killed himself driving off the edge, the car would be a wreck, but that gear would have been fine. You almost got away with it, Sir, but I'm afraid you're under arrest."
The first car I drove in my life!
In my memories, it was a big car... I was 12.
Moved. To. Moncton. NB in 1964. Next door. Peugeot. In y as rd. Looks. Like. Yours. Never heard run. People moved. Away. Around. 1970. Thanks
Still a subscriber , why should like Frankers not like it, it’s French !
My thought exactly. I'm sure she approves.
That is a neat little car. I'm betting the points were not as bad as the ones in my Fairlane. 😊Thanks for sharing the ride. Cheers!
Not too many people have a 4 cylinder hemi pumping out 58 HP. Nice job! Cheers! 😎👍🏎🏁🏁
Now it's time for a complete frame off (did they have frames?) restoration, including 27 coats of old school lacquer with block sanding in between each coat and take it to Pebble Beach, eh? LOL! 😂😂😂 😂😂😂
I spent a considerable amount of time in France with my family n the 1960's and am well acquainted with Peugeot cars up to early 504's. 403's were plentiful then and sounded exactly like yours does. I remember 403's as being very dependable little workhorses. Many were cabs.
Puck hockey
I have learned so much watching this channel. I would probably have pushed the Peugeot into oblivion. Now I know better, not that I will ever get the chance to show off my new knowledge. The Saturday trivia about body by Fisher was downright fascinating and I may actually get to show off that knowledge someday. Cheers Scott, Frankers and Hunny Bunny. 🍻
A friend of mine had a 403 ! He bought it off a Professor who taught ar the Univ. of Cincinnati. My friend drove it back and forty to work, for years ! He finally gave it to a kid that really admired it !
CHEERS Scott...Newk from Kentucky
Handsome little car. Be cool to see a little tidying up on it.
What a lovely little car. Thank you for a recap on this one.
Progress!
Spring.
You pass Stephen.
These old Peugeot cars always remind me of the older James Bond movies. Many Peugeot cars can be spotted throughout the various installments of Bond’s exploits. Peugeots and Renaults it seems. Lots of bad guy cars and background cars!
Stylish AND sensible....
A friend in need...is a friend indeed...
Fix this rocket...eh..?
Carry on
Great to hear and see the 403 drive, neat automobile
Lt. Columbo comes to mind when I see one of these. He had a cabrio in the show, though. Very cool to see one going!
You'll never make me into a Renault LeCar fan, but that Peugeot 403 is really growing on me...
That car reminds me of the one from the TV show Columbo
That was great little video. Except now I have a strong craving for wine and cheese. Cheers!
..."Luckily I have my best Undercoating scraper screwdriver handy" HA! So fun!
Love Solex Saturday great Peugeot 403 episode
Definitely a cool, little car that would be fun to drive around in.
I used to ride around in one in New Zealand in the 80’s that was old looking like yours and it was a fucking treat good car
Scott thanks for doing a video and talking about the Peugeot 403 sorry i do not know a lot about them but you do i can tell it is a neat little car that i like hope to see some more on it cheers see everyone on Saturday.😊✌🍺❤
Bonus point 🚗
Kudos to agent Hunny Bunny for trying to give us a better angle on the carb rebuild. The 403 provides diversity in the stable like that sweet old Kaiser!
The 1960 Peugeot has to have the noisiest tappets herd on CWM.
Noisy tappets were a trademark of some of the Simca engines - especially in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Scott , not only are you three the only ones not watching hockey your the only ones rebuilding a Solex carb off a Peugeot 403 Anywhere In The World That Saturday Night ! Cheers 👊😎👍
The Peugeot is a nice size car. Looks like quality parts? Camera girl is nice. She does a good job. As always great show. Appreciate your work.
Love the French cars too. I grew up in a family that was one of the odd ones in Ontario that owned multiple Citroens, Peugeots and Renaults.
The grill on the Peugeot reminds me of rambler
Our closest neighbour in my small Swiss village was a farmer who loved his Peugeots. He had his old 403 sitting in his barn and beside that one he had his newest possesion, a beautiful 404.
In a barn I have been tinkering on my cars for years a guy had his 403 pickup that he had bought from a French farmer. The bed was made of wood. A reliable little thing.
Hunnybunny is an angel. no Saturday night dinner date, she gets to hold the camera while Scott rebuilds a carb.
Watched your video between the 1st and 2nd period. Thanks for the intermission video!
Oilers are performing worse than a 50 year old french carb.
Nice change of pace seeing you tune up this old Peugeot after working on modern cars all day. Guess I'm one of seven also. Aloha from Hawaii!!🤙
Cheers!
You guys see that? Somebody tearing up the drive doing burnouts! Ha! Enzo Ferrari had a Peugeot 403.
Looked like a nice Posi catch too.
I love my 403! And my 404
When the time comes to paint the 403 my vote is for Seafoam green.
I was kinda thinking the paint scheme from the parts car myself.
Man Scott I have a 71 VW Bettle I drive around the yard once and a while. No brakes but the parking brake works good. I'm usually drinking, smoking weed or eating shrooms when I get it out. Always a blast. My little part of the CWM lifestyle and I dig it. Great video, Junk's Automotive
Back in the mid '60's a kid in my neighborhood had an uncle who drove a 403 - pretty unusual car in Western New York. A few years later a college classmate had a 504 - that was a sweet ride on the Interstate! Cheers - see you Saturday!
Hello from Memphis. After 35 years of motor vehicle inspections by the city weeding out the " bad emmission" cars we rarely get to see any of the old "classics ".
My college roommate Gene got a (1959?) 403 in the late '60s. It can't have been very expensive, since he didn't have any money. It had a metal sunroof (no leak!) and the front seats had been replaced with bucket seats (from a Renault, IIRC). It was a comfortable and smooth-riding car. Gene commuted a dozen or so miles to school each day, including a short stretch of interstate, and after a couple weeks he found the owner's manual and learned that it had 4 speeds. Much quieter, and better mileage, after that discovery! It was terrifying to see the steering wheel wobble violently whenever we encountered potholes, but he found he could take his hands off the wheel and the car didn't deviate from its intended direction. The starter became intermittent in the summer, so Gene kept a baseball bat beside the driver's seat so he could easily tap (bash?) the starter into operation. We and our fraternity buddies were endlessly amused by the car's French-ness, but it was quite reliable.
Fantastic video Scott. Had my 403 for 20 years before giving to my mate in Melbourne in 1995. He still has it and it is still a great drive. They have great ride and handling.
Happy to see you in your new carburetor jacket !!
Scott, you have an entire empty field to fill with old cars!
You don't think he's tempted?
Anyone else would have just put an LS in it. I love this channel.
It doesn't matter what car you bring back to life Scott, I've realized over the years of watching CWM that the variety is an added bonus to learn about cars I've never seen before 👍😎👍
I doubt I'll ever get tired of Tom's 'Ah, SOS...'
I just looked online for 403s for sale and saw a beautiful 1959 station wagon for 16,000 Euros. I don't recall ever seeing a wagon in Southern California when I was a kid but there were a lot of sedan 403s and 404s.
All you need now is a 2CV to be eligible for the Inspector Jacques Clouseau Excellence in French Automobiles Award. Merde
Ha, ha, yes. merde.
I remember seeing them around Seattle back when I was a kid in the '60s-'70s.
These were just bulletproof and ran forever. Great to see it get some love
Count me as one of the seven who like that sort of thing. So nice to see it get some love!
I think I've only seen like one of these in the last 20 years where I'm at(Maine). And that was at a car show. Cheers!
Absolutely adorable little car, bags of character too. If there is a car in the fleet that deserves a fix up and a lick of paint it's that one. Very cool.
Such a sweet little car.
I'm sure glad to see Hunnybunny is filming you now and not robbing restaurants like back in the 90's, lol.
Thanks for the video.
Great to see the 403 running better. I've owned one French car in my life, a 2002 Renault Clio that I bought second hand while working in Serbia from 2009 -12. Three years of trouble-free driving. I've loved French cars from childhood, no doubt because among my beloved 1970s Corgi Juniors, Matchboxes, and Hot Wheels, there were many Majorettes - my faves being the Renault 5 and Simca 1100Ti, which I still have over 45 years later.
Nice seeing the 403 getting out. She's got charm.
"ohh, lovely!" Indeed it is. Très bon, Monsieur, très bon!
Excellent video Cold Water Motors Scott :) , Stephen :) , Honeybunny :) , Frankers The Dog 🐕,, never seen those cars in person 1960 Peugeot 403 car only in book in my Auto Mechanics shop classes in 1990 teacher had and bet were cool car have back then !
Despit the Peugeot 403's age and state, it still carries its original charm and beauty. Nice to see her out and about again. A samedi!
Doesn't everybody have a carb kit for a Peugeot 403 Solex hanging around and even know where they placed it. It's great having a friend around when messing with a carb style you haven't touched in decades.
That car isn't a waste of time, it's like a mini Rolls -Royce with the styling. I'm a big Columbo fan too, and yours has the padded dash intact! It deserves a tidy :)
Glad to see the Peugeot can make it around the yard and grab the mail.
I once owned an Opel Kadett which had a Solex carburetor. Hoo boy! It wasn't an easy monstrosity to keep in tune, but thanks for the memories all the same!
I’m glad there is a couple of them left, and it may as well be you that have them
