Because the truck was given away and the manual was in the house. Contacted them but they had already sold it. They didn't have a phone number to call. This was in the late 1960s. Never saw or heard of the truck again.

The what is that is a WW2 Daimler Dingo Armoured Car.

Didnt see a Triumph Vitesse or Humber Hawk.. otherwise. Great display.

Wow, such beautiful and great memories. I was born in 1944. First car, a Ford Thames van with windows, followed by a Ford Consul in 1970.. Thanks a million,

Another great OCC video. I was particularly interested in the Standard V8 because a family friend, a manual arts teacher, had one of these back in the 1950s here in Australia. It was the only one I have ever seen, but it was a delightful little car, albeit with some heating problems.

i love it

What a great show of cars thanks for showing the 2 Vauxhalls I had both of those the pa cresta the best car I ever had thanks again cheers

The Rolls Royce 856 XVX is bodied by Hooper. The headlights are distinctive to their bodies and the fastback styling was many times too. I saw a couple of these at the fall car show in Hershey PA many years ago. The one you show here is immaculate for sure.

Wondering, what is the cost of entering a vehicle in a show such as this? JIM ❤

Hi 👋 Richard. All old classic cars should be restored. The only thing is that it is costly. The Alfa Romeo GTV is nice. I think they are one of the best looking car designs from the 1970s. Interesting the wind down window in the back. Excellent car display . Thanks from Carl in NZ.

Enjoying your video. For quite some time now I've noticed that there are very few Morris Oxfords in these shows and cars and coffee meets. There lots of the Morris Minors both passenger and commercial but the Oxfords seem to be very scarce. Is there not the interest in the Oxfords. My father had a new 1955 Morris Oxford pick up that I learned to drive in. Had the side valve four cylinder and a four speed column mounted gear shift. I still have the original owners manual. These owners manuals were almost as good as a service manual they told you so much about maintaining the vehicle. Watch and enjoy all your videos and your son Harley's also. Looking forward to seeing more.

When I first moved where I live now just east of San Diego I would often see a Riley 1.5 driving around.

Have you ever thought of converting Big Dodge into a camper? Then you could venture further afield and cover more shows. I hope to see you at Corbridge on August 1st.

I went with a club on the Sunday. Went for a walk around the independent entries ( where the show starts) and was horrified how many had been squeezed in to the area. Women with push chairs, dogs and kids ,pushing in between the tightly parked vehicles. I'll bet a few discovered scratches and dings on their cherished motors by the end of the day. It was so tightly packed I gave up trying to film amongst them

Thanks for showing how to start this tractor!

very good thank you sincerely yours Emma Royce

I have in my Classic Garage a Jaguar xjs pre-HE from 1977 , a Maserati Biturbo from 1985 and a BMW e46 Touring 330xd from 2001. All of These are great cars😊

Tinkering at its most engaging. Fingers crossed she's fixed.

So pleased that you've sorted the problem on the Dodge. Do you intend to work on the A40 restoration this summer? Maybe too many car meets on the calendar?

Job done ! Have to add Richard my mechanical post repairs on my old cars always ended in failure .......so l stick to the bodywork and paint . Each to thier own ! Cheers !

Great work Richard

I do think you have fixed it. Good job and good luck

Seems like the dreaded ethanol has penetrated the old lead solder. Good result though. Just a tune up now, or a good drive and check plug colour.

Good job, Richard - takes me back to the 1950s and 1960s when I used to work on my own cars. I like your logical approach to solving problems.

Harley looked pretty cool in those shades at the end.

I think i agree with you about the bristil. My favorite in what you have shown..i really like it in that colour to.

coil or ballast resister.😊

Great piece of work, the truck sounds better/smoother running. Very nice video. All the best Bob

Get some hottish water & immerse the float in it. Then you will know where the hole in the float is. It is then easy to solder back up. Obviously, you should be able to get the fuel to vaporize out with the warmth.

Googling an exploded view of your Carter carb might show the missing spring. I'm puzzled how such a small difference in the two gasket thicknesses had such an effect on the oil pressure. Excellent video - nice to to be taken back to the good(?) old days by your under-bonnet tinkering. I wonder if Kurt watched the video?!

Another great video . I think it deserves a Oscar. Should you start the little Dodge appreciation society ? Thanks once again👏🏻🤩🛻

It seems to have been a combination of all those little things that made it go 'on strike'. Obviously the float was the main culprit I would suggest and the little spring going AWOL, the spring has sprung, made things go awry on the choke side. The gasket issue seemed a bit odd, after all we are only talking fractions in thickness. That one caused me a bit of a head scratching and I am still not sure why, I mean you haven't changed the volume of the oil, very strange! Does something press against the plate when it is in place? Anyway you seem to have cured the old girls ailments so maybe I am over thinking things. One more point, did I spot solder on one end of the old float or was that just calcification? The only reason I mention it is because that could be another possible entry point for fuel. It would be worth keeping it as a spare if it could be fixed I think. Thanks for the video Rick and glad all seems to now be well. 👍👍

A very educational video Mr OCC, I enjoyed that. Great to see you get the old girl fixed!👍😁🚗

Excellent war chest of bits Mr OCC!!

I had the same truck but RHD here in OZ for 10 years. Very reliable never let me down. Mine had the Richards ute body . Engine 218ci Canadian 3 and 3/8 bore these blocks are 1" longer than the US blocks.

Good video....brought back nightmares of the carb on my 1952 Dodge pickup! Floats woth gas in them need replaced or a specialist can resolder them after draining the liquid out. Those screws holding the carb top on are filister head screws by the way. Pardon my nerdy-ness!

yes floats can be fixed/resodered good idea is to find the spot where hole is ,fairly easy drop in a pot of water look for bubbles then drill a hole and let the gas inside drain out and blow compressed air let it dry off you don't want to be making a brass hand grenade .then re-solder your done a fairly easy fix

hi Rick, great video, back in the 70s i always used a gunson's colour tune for the old land rover, carbs really try your paitence at times, but well done with this, is the oil ok in the air-cleaner ?

The Dodge probably doesn’t require a MOT was just wandering about cracked Windscreen , great video

Yes always used Coloutune on my twin carb Spitfire and it worked!

I have to say that tinkering videos at OCC HQ are my favourites, although all your content is most enjoyable.

I think I would drill a small hole in the float which should allow the fuel to drain out of the float. Only a tiny one. You may be able if you can pressurise a little through the known hole find the leak under some water but almost certainly around the seam Once you find the leak solder it and then solder .the small hole you just drilled. Holding the float under water should reveal any further leakage with bubbles.

exactly the same issues I had recently on my Rover P6 - 2 new floats, 2 new needle valves and back to normal. Of course it was easy for me to get the parts the same day just a few miles from my home, given it's a British car

What a relaxing video! I admire your patient attitude to tinkering around with the carb as many people would have simply ordered a new one. I know that this is outside your normal operating radius but on the 1st of August there is the Corbridge Classic and Performance show which is held in this beautiful and historic Northumberland town situated on the River Tyne near Hexham. I'd love to see you and one of your beautiful cars there or you could make it a real family weekend out as there are a lot of hotels, pubs and b and bs for accomodation.
