cobravii Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Almost 20 years ago my dad rebuilt the driveline in this car, tested it for about 20 miles and then shut it off. It seized up from sitting. I tore it down and put it back together and now it is running again!!There is about 15-20 minutes of run time on it now and the ticking noise you hear in the clip is just a loose pipe to manifold on the drivers side.<embed src="http://p.webshots.com/flash/smallplayer.swf?videoFile=http://videoserve.webshots.com/video/34652/3060430740012311043nSgShc_v_0.flv&audio=on&displayImagePreview=http://videothumb13.webshots.com/thumb/34652/3060430740012311043nSgShcstill_002_0.jpg&videoPageUrl=http://rides.webshots.com/video/3060430740012311043nSgShc&autoPlay=false&shareLink=http://cards.webshots.com/ecard/personalize?photoId=3060430740012311043%26source=v" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350" quality="best" allowscriptaccess="always"></embed><br/><br/><a href="http://rides.webshots.com/video/3060430740012311043nSgShc">Buick restore 128.AVI</a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZRIV Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Congratulations! Nothing like the feeling when an engine you have been working on finally starts running. Getting a dead engine running has always given me a real sense of accomplishment ever since I was 9 years old working on a Sears minibike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
