Hey guys keep having fun and doing things your way. Being real is hard to find. Thanks guys enjoying the content.
I'm very surprised that car ran that good 👍. Thanks for sharing 😊 guys.
Amazing how these old engines purr after sitting for so long. Keep up the good work
The strap across the back rest of the front seat is not a grab handle, but is a strap to through a rear passenger lap blanket or motor robe through. That was a thing back in them olden days. A lot of cars from the period had floor heaters and the using the lap blankets helped get and keep your feet and legs warm.
Good to know 👍
always glad to see the old ones come back.thank you
Sweet old car just screaming for a full restore. I was 1 year old when this was made. Gotta Luv em!
You got stuck valves take the valve covers off and check the valves. And if you get an 8 volt battery it will work good and not destroy lights or guages
Damn. This is like watching Larry, Daryl and Daryl. Too much giggling.
Wow. What a motor!.
Well done lads 😎
Cool old car, definitely top of the line in its day.
21:00, Despite the voltage differences, a 6 Volt starter can handle 12 Volt, with no issues.
Also, when you do a 6 to 12 Volt conversion, most times you don't change the starter.
Great one guys back to life😀
U gonna blow the electrics out of it on 12 volt an 8 volt battery will work fine . See Merlin’s old school garage for info on how to turn the generator to charge 8 volt system
First car a 1949 olds two door. It really was a rocket. when I went to work and made some money we put three two barrels on it. later it got a hot cam. Nothing could beat it including the fuel injected chevys.. Even took a super charged model. The best thing it did for me though is helped me pay for my college degree. You brought back a lot of fond memories,
303 old engine and the 4 speed trans behind it is a wonderful combo they were fast cars I had many of them when I was young I'd go 110 miles an hour in a good car like that any time..one of the most simple cars there . Why don't you use a small hose to put the oil in the cyclinders?
You guys crack me up. You know enough to be dangerous (lol)
Giggly teenagers.
Awesome it lives 🤘and drives
By the way, 48-53 Oldsmobiles used 6 volt negative ground.
Interesting. Ours was wired for positive ground….
Hello I'm very funny It's a lot of fun with you, I like your videos and your channel, cool good luck to you guys❤❤😂
Hey Guys, yes you can use 12 volt to start it and run and drive for a short time but just remember the wiring through out the car is set up for 6 volt and after a while you might start melting wires, before it would short out any of the electronics, Awesome vid and Great old rig !
I heard you had a CZcams channel and I thought "this I gotta see!".
word of advice never keep the battery terminals tight on the battery that way if anything happens you can get a quick disconnect before it starts on fire and always unhook the battery when the car is unattended because they can start on fire too and with something that old with bad wiring one short is all it takes
Cool car never saw a carburetor like that before it’s crazy wild . Love it
Just found your channel and subscribed. Very nice old car. Man I’m jealous
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
There’s a park if it’s like old Pontiac pull it down n reverse and turn off the engine. I think it starts n neutral
That is good to know, I’ll give it a try. Thanks
Oldsmobile was the best of the best....that car cud cruise 97mph...no prob
Looks like an early hollow body my guess
watching
Just shows quality old iron.
Now get the breaks working and do a road trip 😂
You should be able to run an 8volt battery in there without damaging the electricicals
It might be a good idea if you guys would get serious about what you're working on there. So you don't get hurt
Now I am going to teach you something you never knew about that Carburator. My Brother retired as an Oldsmobile Mechanic from 20th Centry Oldsmobile in St. Joseph, Missouri. That is Mr. Smiling Olds when you ordered that two barrel CarburatorIf you look at that you will see why. Parts in our days had names. I frive a 1901 Oldsmobile and it was known as a Curved Dash. When you prime a Carter you should use a ten can ot a bottle to do it because they usually run pretty lean. Pour a short shot of Jack Danuals in the Carburator to get it running and then clean the valves with cold water in the Carb as it is running. Or real Coke in short shots.
I'm gonna teach you something you never knew. It's spelled carburetor 😂😂
I’ve got a 50 and a 51 olds, if you end up parting it let me know.
i belive that carb is called a turtle back carb
excellent
I'm impressed
Reverse was park in them old cars
That would be an awesome rat car just fix the floor and interior leave outside rough
I you was to get into a accident you have a better chance of survival going 90 miles an hour in that car then you would in any car built nowadays
Some who don't know what there doing should not work on something they know nothing about
Give it to somebody who will respect it. Not into two unskilled guys who obviously knew nothing of vintage cars make fun of it isn’t entertainment.
we all gotta start somewhere 🤷♂️
Next time using 8 volt tractor battery
Where u located?
Get an 8 volt battery at tractor supply
Fix the interior and drive the wheels off it
Terrible can't watch
That car is junk you use the moter and trans in another car that moter fit alot of cars 1049 to 53 olds
It is so sad how ignorant young people are today.
