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.

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

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?

Nascar wasn't formed until the late 1950s. Daytona wasn't a race track in the 1950s. The beach was the track. Dale Pierce Allison brothers driver 59 - 67. Record for head over flips 12 to finish 2nd. Drove for Yardbrough in 1960 when it happened.

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,

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 !
@79tazman
@79tazman Ай бұрын
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 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.

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.
