That steering wheel is worth some money! And you have all the parts for it too! Just swap the "Chevette" center for a "Bowtie" and clean it up! I've sold a lot of those wheels at the Rod Run in Pigeon Forge. Pull that engine out and put in a Small Block! Thanks for the great video! Your Son done great too!

​@Backroadjunk I think it would be cool to see that one back on the road. It looks like it had low mileage when it was parked.

Someone said it had low compression. I don't know.

That battery is twice maybe 3 times to big for that little motor ! That’s why it’s spinning like there’s 24 volts running through it ! ⚡️

You can take transmission fluid and pour down the spark plug holes and let set over night. Did that to one and it came back around

Let me guess that’s a Chevette. It’s a stick shift. I remember that my parents had one matter fact my mom had one I learned how to drive in one of those that’s a cool car to have.

Thats painful to watch. Applying brute force to everything. Plundering viking style. No proper tools. 6 pounder sledge hammer, chisel, brutely pulling everything, while the other feller armed with crowbar and hammer taking out entrails. Not mindful that those parts may hard to find in the future. come on brothers. Forcing the old engine to drink without cleaning the lines and holes.

You cannot even make a basic Chevette run... your parents should not be siblings, that might help.
