SUCCESSFUL TEST 1940 BUICK SPECIAL STARTED FOR FIRST TIME WHOOPEE

[buick special]

Today was a happy day

 

I drained the gas tank and put in fresh fuel

 

I picked up a battery locally

 

popped it in the car

 

poured a little gas down the carb

 

and cranked her up

 

spun a few times then

 

whoopee she started right up

 

she sounded great and went into a beautiful idle

 

I let her run for a few seconds appx a minute

 

then shut her off as that was the only test I wanted to do today

 

 

 

Things to do yet before next test
 

 

I still have to buy a new battery as the new battery I got from the store had a date of 8/2014

 

its old stock and does not charge fully so I will return it and get another

 

 

 

I have to replace gasket / seal on AC Filter around the glass bowl as it was dripping when the car was running .....anyone know the correct size or number of seal?
