    I guess even crappy modern fuel won't block the jets in that carb - they've probably got a 3mm bore! Another great episode guys!

    As if it was in any doubt of starting under the guidance of you and Fudgey. I like how you tried to make the alternator “Flame Red” with some help using a drop of fire. Swiftly extinguished and she runs. Hopefully you be able to sort the stopping in part 2.

    What a fabulous new project, I like it. Clearly authentic, as you could not have plotted the alternator fire better as a counterpoint to the success of the engine firing first go! Looking forward to part 2. Cheers & keep up the good work.

    Good to see it all go to plan for once , except for the dodgey alternator, thanks for that fellas, enjoyed every minute of it. The frustraition of fitting the battery was comical to, why do the Americans put batteries indoors? I'd hate to contemplate how much those tyres cost per corner. Still its a beautiful machine and orange doesnt make it any less exciting.

    GM once tried turning one of their famed V8 engines into a diesel, apparently it was awful and very unreliable so they poopooed the idea of using diesel engines at all, cos they were bad at making them, instead of, y'know, employing anyone who knew how to build them... :P

    • @a4000t
      @a4000t 8 месяцев назад

      That was the olds 350 you refer to. It was a bad idea. They also made a different 6.2/6.5 used in Chevy trucks,Hummers and military. Don't forget their old Detroit Diesel division who made diesels for a zillion years put in GMC's,semi's and busses.
