    When it was spinning over with plugs in it sounds like not all cylinders have compression. Probably some stuck valves. Some valves might be accessible through the plug holes and may be able to be tapped down. I did like the good access you had to the clutch. You couldn't free off a flathead ford like that. Nice job on the rust. I need something like that for my 32 sedan. That's a job I'm not looking forward to. Oh yeah, my views have tanked too, but I put that down to the T-Bird not being as popular as the 100E. Ok mate, catch you next time! Mart.

As you know most of my YT viewing is cats playing with string, so I'm not familiar with this "run and drive" thing you have come up with... But I gota say... I think you're on to something there.

Flooded cars are a kind of nightmare just like a engine full of mouse house or it having furry pistons inside. Good thing this has a mechanical clutch so with some work the flywheel is salvageable but the clutch friction plate maybe too far gone. Not sure you can even get a replacement clutch for these anymore. Ring gear might need investigating further if the teeth are not chipped off it can live.

    @65bugnut 29 дней назад +4

    If there isn't snow on the ground, are you really in Canada, and not some tropical oasis? I think that you should at least pull the head off of the Pontiac. Since the valves are in the block, it should be easy. You could clean the tops of the pistons, and maybe around the valves. If you're careful you can reuse the head gasket.

    • @CarterAutoRestyling
      @CarterAutoRestyling  29 дней назад +3
