[@DaveSquibbSr]

I'm not particularly an expert on Plymouth but most of those old engines that set for a long time lose compression like that, if you put a couple of teaspoons of gear oil in each piston it should give you enough compression to start it up, once you do that and run it through a few heat cycles you should get your rings back and have compression again.

It only takes about a spoon full of gas to prime the engine. Any more and you flood it. The low compression may because the excess gas washed the cylinders. Oil the cylinders and see if the compression improves.

Chevy's in my experience either start straight up quite easily or they are hell on earth. Had a '65 C10 283 that sat for 30 years, started up after new points, rotor plugs and was great. Then I had a '63 Impala SS 327 that sat for 25, did all the same stuff, it even had more compression, but the sucker is still fighting me after a month. I know they are near identical engines, but the 327's always give me a hard time for whatever reason.

[@minnesotatomcat]

Yeah she just screams 50s, love that front end it’s just so unique. It seems like the little 6 cylinders are usually the ones that will fire up after years of sitting and just refuse to die. The old 300 fords were the same way, gutless but you couldn’t hardly kill them

REAL SIMILAR TO THE 58 PLYMOUTH FURY ( CHRISTINE )

[@AudioMobil]

Now we're talking! Finally a '58 Plymouth, the only classic american car I know quite well. Looking forward to watch that beauty come back to life. By the way: That's a 2dr Sedan, not a hardtop. It has a 2-speed powerflite automatic transmission, there was a 3-speed automatic available as well, called torqueflite + the basic 3-speed manual transmission. With that golden "V" in the grille she usually should be a 318cui V8 (or the V has been added at some point). Watch out, at some point she might even try to kill or hurt you...and I know what I'm talking about. Looks like she's a factory radio delete so at least you won't be surprised by a radio that will suddenly turn on and play music from the 50s. 😂 PS: Check out some of my older videos to see one of these. 😊

[@silverperzon]

Oh man, that growling starter brought back memories when I first started up my 58 Plymouth. I had this very similar situation, ran great and let it sit for months. No start. These don’t like sitting for long periods of time. Marvel mystery oil down the holes, clean and relube the starter (helps get more rpm’s out of it) and dribble in 2 cycle mixed fuel down the carb for starting, any mix is fine. Straight gas will just wash out your cylinders. Once it does run, try to get some heat cycles into it to help loosen/seal up the rings. Also might want to look into replacing that carb with the correct unit. The one currently in your car is off an early 1950’s Plymouth. It’ll work, but it’s not correct for the later model 230 flatty. Love the car as much as mine. Hope to see more of yours! Parts wise, Big M and Dave are the way to go! As well as the 1958 Plymouth FINatics group.

You know about old cars!!!

[@MortskeRepair]

@@danesderelicts I know nothing!

[@danesderelicts]

@@MortskeRepair seriously man. I have learned so much from your channel. And I have been wrenching for over 30 yrs. Keep up the good work. BTW 2hrs is a bit much for a revival.

[@MortskeRepair]

@@danesderelicts Glad to hear it. I guess I'm not a fan of dragging a revival out for 5 episodes so we knock it out in one long one.

[@danesderelicts]

@@MortskeRepair couple of episodes would be cool. Plus easier to edit. Maybe??

Can’t wait too see more of this car!!!

Get it running again, leave the body as it is. If I had to guess, I'd say the low compression is probably the valves- either stuck or carboned up so they don't seal shut. Either way, a healthy 360/727 would be a welcome improvement.

awesome car Dylan, it's is so enjoyable to live vicariously through your projects and you getting a cool car collection.

This bring back memories. I had a friend back in the late 60's who had a 1959 dodge that looked a lot like this car given to him. The car was perfect it was just like new and he took it out in the field and totally destroyed it. Pretty sad.

Hmm, very wasteful, thanks for interesting post.

[@markdoyle6414]

Good to see it run.

Very cool Plymouth. Looks like its got the powerflite trans. Our neighbor had a brand new 58 Fury. Had the 318 with two 4 barrel carbs. Rode in it a few times and it had awesome power for the day.

Was the neighbors name Roland Lebay by any chance?
