I’m sorry to see you having trouble, but it also makes me feel better to know I’m not the only one who always has stupid things go wrong that don’t even make sense

[@ChadDrake4185]

Ha! I know how you feel. Thanks for watching.

Man that is a interesting vid lol the struggle is real

[@Jerrys_old_school_engines]

I love the way a flathead sounds

My 1939 9t engine Stromberg 97 carburetor accelerator pump gushes the same when cranking. I later found 3 stuck open intake valves. Not sure if that was my problem.

[@rustyredemptions]

Beautiful engine! Sounds awesome! But dude, you need a remote start button lol! I use a doorbell button mounted on a block of wood with a couple of clip leads, and a solenoid for Fords.

[@ChadDrake4185]

True. I need a lot of things. All my other stands have solenoids and keys. I was too impatient to finish the stand on this one. I had to hear it run.

[@rustyredemptions]

@@ChadDrake4185 Haha I know that feeling. I'm well known for rigging stuff to make it go. I've started engines loose on cardboard on the floor, hanging from the hoist, chained in the truck bed, etc. Hearing them run first start is addictive.

Im not sure if you said in the video what its going into im kinda curious now ive been eyeing one of these for my 30 model a

[@ChadDrake4185]

I’m not sure yet. I have a model A chassis coming. For a speedster build. I may put it on that. I have 4 of these. This green one, the yellow 60, one with a block in the machine shop and I literally just posted a complete 60 with trans on marketplace. It will need total rebuild.

Review your safety measures or you will get hurt

[@ChadDrake4185]

I’ll have to rewatch the video to see where I asked your opinion. I don’t recall that part.

It ain't got no gas in it...mmhhmm..
