    An old hot rodders trick is to use an 8 volt battery instead of 6 volt. Works perfectly with all 6v starters and 6v generators and gives you more cranking power. Great to see you saving these old cars and getting them on the road again.

    • @michaelbenardo5695
      @michaelbenardo5695 Год назад +3

      Absolutely corect, BUT, you do need to re-adjust your voltage regulator, or else the generator will not charge it, as generator voltage must be slightly higher than battery voltage, or else battery will try to "motor" the generator.

    • @leslietarboxjr4287
      @leslietarboxjr4287 Год назад +1

      ​@@michaelbenardo5695 I've never had a problem with that. With the original set-up and voltage regulator it will charge as high as 10V without damaging any gauges or any other components. Maybe if you were to drive cross country you may have a problem however most classic cars are driven less than 100 miles per month, and it works just fine.

    I bought a 54 savoy (brown over cream) in 1969 for $50 from a guy who got drafted. and got a rebuilt short block from Sears (very inexpensive). These engines (dodge and plymouth) were popular with water pumps on farms. Finally junked it in 1973 a year after graduating high school.

    I agree, your camera operator did a great job. That engine looks so familiar as my parents had a 1951 Plymouth flat head 6 fast back, 2dr. We moved to Fl in '56 and it was used for dad to go salt water wade fishing. Was not long before the floor board rusted right out. I have watched other youtubers doing restorations, but your channel is the best. Glad I subscribed.

    Loved watching this Episode, I just picked up a 1956 Dodge Coronet from a field where it has been sitting for ~50 Years.. So was neat seeing you all get that 6 Cylinder going, only difference on mine is that they switched to 12v+ mid 55, so I can actually deal with a 12 volt system.. Pulling the engine out and going through it before trying to get it to run though, pretty rusty in the Valves and didn't want anything to break, but it does rotate also, which is amazing for sitting in a field for 50 years. Thanks for the great content, and would love to see what you all do with this one.

Motor was 4.0 litre 235 Cubic Inches size 6 cylinder 1 barrel carb Zenith type updraft ! Yes is had honey comb core copper rad plus rad cap too and smoke on cold starts too Lol! But how we clean up smoke problems add 1 gallon Desiel fuel on on 3/4 of 91 octane gas and keep motor cool on long day of work of 12 hours!

    Gonna share a misconception many people who fool with treasures that we do, is oil appearence. When oil is looked at, it appears to clean fresh oil or having an oil change just before being parked. As engines set for a long time the additive package and contaminents will drift down from oil. That what people will call it sludge and resides at the bottom of the pan. I've drained oil from an oldies and use heavy wire with a bend and poke it in the drain opening wiggle it around and most of the time you get sludge. I've known of guys who've gotten um running only to have a knock develope. That's caused by pickup being a bit submerged in said material. I learned this hard way on a 37 Chevy. Only took bout half mile to start getting noisey. Course it wasJust a helpful suggestion, no criticism.

    • @BudgetBuildz
      @BudgetBuildz  Год назад +1

      Thank you for bringing that out! 😃 Good point and I completely agree with you! This is one reason we always drain and change the oil before running an engine that has been sitting this long 🙂 In cases with these older ones, they seem to always have a drain plug big enough to stick your finger up in and feel around too!

    I’m not sure the styling is ‘Art Deco’ by 1954 but maybe a little as a lot of pre war stuff like the flat head engine seemed to carry over into the early 50s and things were still getting going again. Great to hear it run albeit not on all 6 and spewing water everywhere. A survivor that deserves some love if ever I saw one.
