Thank you for sharing. It's good to see a car original, unrepainted. We can see that there's no perforation rust. I'd like to imagine it with whatever mechanical repairs necessary to original specifications for safety, and just polish the original paint. The car is a treasure.

Love the awesome sound of your cool Buick. A person can easily start loving old classic cars. They are ALL beautiful individual pieces of art ! I have had about 5 different classics in my lifetime, am now 77, and I enjoyed every one of them and I would gladly take any one of the back.
My father had a '50 Super like this, but the colour was gray. It was in 1953 when he bought it. I was 7 years old. Happy memories 😊 Thanks for this video

@sethbarnes76082 жыл бұрын
So whenever you get your carb freshener up, here's a good way to fine tune her. The first thing you'll wanna do is get her warm. Then, before you even mess with the carb, check and adjust your ignition timing. A lot of people blame drivability issues on the carb that are actually due to improper ignition timing. Use a timing light! You hear guys say "I can set timing by ear" the fact is no they can't. They can maybe get close, but together it spot on, you need a timing light. Once your timing is verified to be correct, then it's time to start playing with the carb. Get yourself a vacuum gauge. It's gonna be your best friend. First you'll plug your gauge into ported vacuum. This will be a source that comes from ABOVE the throttle butterflies. Such as the vacuum advance to the distributor. Or any port that is high up on the carb. This is gonna help you make sure that your butterflies aren't open too far. You wanna see about 1/2 to 3/4 on the gauge. But never over 1. This should result in a warm idle of approximately 550 to 600 RPM. I'm betting if you have a service manual, that's what it's gonna say. Then to adjust the mixture screws, hook your vacuum gauge to direct manifold vacuum, or a port below the butterflies. To establish a baseline, turn em in until they just stop, then turn em out 2-1/2 turns. Then with the engine running, just start turning em in 1/4 turn at a time, alternating between the two, watch the vacuum gauge. Find the setting that gives you the most steady needle. You should be somewhere around 14 on the gauge. But you're more looking for a good stable needle on the guage. At that point, she should be purring like a kitten, and you're done. Make sure to reconnect any vacuum lines you removed to plug your gauge in. And drive er like you stole er!😂
@sethbarnes76082 жыл бұрын
You can still get a "dwell meter" at places like harbor freight, or some auto parts stores. These will generally have a tachometer feature you can use to set the idle as well.

Cool old comfy car. My dad knew a guy who had one and would haul us boys around to the local swimming pool in it as a favor for helping him with his taxes. Years later an old service station had six of these Buicks parked around it and me and my brother asked if they were for sale. The guy replied NO! , now you pin head bastards GET LOST! We did as he asked and and shortly the gas station was bulldozed away to make way for a K Mart. As for the Buicks, my brother was told by his girl friend they were hauled off so their engines could be used in dirt track racers. How she knew that I never found out.

The 1950 Buick grill was a one year model with the stainless waterfall bars or teeth "outside" the front bumper. This proved to be a bad idea as the first thing to dent or outright flattened were those bars as they were just hollow tubes. B 4 1950 and after 1950 the bars were placed "behind" the steel bumper. Made the1950 E Z to spot and know the year though.

@TomSpeaks-vw1zp3 ай бұрын
Your right about that grill. The 50 had a wider stance. It was not one of the better designs. The 49 had a nice flow, especially the Sedanette. The 50 was the only Production model with the ventiports in the hood. 1950 was not one of Buicks big sellers.

If you're inside the car pushing the accelerator cranks the car, if under the hood push the throttle to crank. You don't need the jumper wire.

I believe I discussed it in the video, but sometimes pushing down on the throttle won’t work to crank the vehicle so that is why it requires the jumper. Hope this helps

I think you have a vacumn leak. Not a huge one, but a vacumn leak none the less, and it shouldn't crank that slow. Are you using 1 gauge battery cables with molded on clamps? Modern auto parts store 4 and 6 gauge cables are too small, as 6 volt starters draw twice the amps as 12 volt starters, which means thick battery cables are mandatory.

@@DeuceBoyBilly If your Optima is a replacement for a Group 3, no problem, but if it is a replacement for a Group 1, then it is a problem. It may test fine as far as Cold Cranking amps - for your 248 engine, you want at least 400 amps of it - but will run down to soon if, for example, you are trying to clear a flooded condition. But remember, if you are not using 1 gauge battery cables, no amount of tinkering will fix the problem.
