Nice to see a show where the people don't have to be "bleeped" every time they open their mouths because they think it makes them look cool or edgy to the particular demographic of viewers that they cater to.

I mean a guy can fix on. But I want to learn more

[@RustyZipper]

Alex Stoppa - learn by doing. Do some research and buy something that runs, drives and not rusted out. You’ll find plenty of other stuff to fix. Don’t fall for that “ran when parked” always ask: “why did they park it then” and “why are they selling it” if it’s in such good shape?

See the pretty ceramic block on the firewall It is a resistor to drop voltage to points after the engine starts A wire runs directly to starter from key start position to bypass resistor when starting When in run position voltage runs thru resistor to prevent burning up points Still have flexible tool to adjust points while running Good luck

[@michaelszczys8316]

That’s right. Connect jumper wire to t.

[@danmybusiness1167]

I once replaced the coil on a Ford Escort without knowing about this voltage drop. In the Escort it was done with some kind of internal resistance wire (never found out exactly how it worked). Never could get it running with the non-standard coil because it never received enough starting voltage. Good learning experience, without costing too much.

Agree change the oil and ideally drop the pan and clean it and the oil pump screen

If any car that you have ever got your hands on is worthy of a full restoration, it's this one. They are a totally iconic car worldwide, and if I could pick one up at that price, (approx $3050AU) I would be weeping tears of joy for years. You won't find one in that condition over here for less than $12,500 USD. They actually built these in Australia for a while, but as far as I know, they were all stovebolt sixes. Please (🙏) give this amazing car the attention it deserves.

[@plymouthduster2252]

Great video. I have actually seen that car before. I live in Idabel Oklahoma and that 57 sat in a abonded gas station stall next to a red 57 2 door hardtop. The man who owned the station sold it and took the 57's along with a few other old cars to be auctioned off the man's name was Ferrell Jackson that owned the cars and the gas station. I dont know him myself but my Uncle does. I wasn't expecting to ever see this 57 again. I was born in 1991 and that was car was in that gas station as far back as I can remember. So I guess that was were it was parked in 1985. Glad to see it found a good home.

@@delwhylie4748 I definitely would flip that car 🐤

[@thekingsilverado9004]

@Jason Blackburn>>>> Most professional shops would not open the hood and start pulling on parts without first power washing the entire car period. The process most professional shops like mine use is the first step is washing the car entirely particularly under the hood. The oil gets drained spark plugs radiator and distributor get pulled plug wires old points go in the shit can sometimes the distributor itself ends up there. After the radiator comes back the freeze plugs get examined before any water or coolant go back in the car. Shitty hoses get replaced. No professional likes to see a hose rupture of the engine suffer a mysterious mechanical demise from old sludge and shit blocking the oil journals in the engine. So what these guys R doing disgusts most of us that call ourselves professionals. In no way would have started fiddling around in that engine without getting all the crud out of the way first. We also go over the transmissions and examine old clutch and throw out bearings. Folks do not realize just how easy it is to get a vehicle stuck in gear and have it freeze up in gear. At times trying to force a car back out of gear where it froze can cause a catastrophe to a gear box. I find the car in the video interesting. I find the hosts being a pair of Boobs.. There is a shop here local to me that can a do beautiful job on those old brass and copper radiators. To me these guys offend people like me that call themselves a professional. What happens is videos like this give assholes bad impressions on what a professional restoration shop does do. What happens is shit like this starts arguments that I shoulda just done just this or that. More over we have severe winters and storms here which alters my approach at how I prepare a resto mod job.

[@thekingsilverado9004]

@@gmc1284 John politely understand what these 2 guys are representing gives other folks thee very wrong idea how a professional approaches getting an old wreck running again. Now if you can only reach deep down in your confused mind you can consider what I mean. I have people that drop stuff off here and get a very wrong impression on how a Pro Shop approaches this work. I am sorry you are not capable of understanding the fundamentals of this work and the problems videos like these can cause. Just like those videos of guys going creeping around property and personal items left on remote and rural properties. It causes problems. It would be a lot diff if these two guys did not represent themselves as a professional shop. Even the happy the clown wires and battery can be dangerous just have a rouge unintentional spark hit gasoline and see what can happen to a person or their home or garage... These videos give the totally wrong impression of what a Professional shop does. Not to mention as the fiddle and fuddle with a 5 gallon gas can nearby you don't see a fire extinguisher in sight now do ya. I just about duct tape one to my ass when I am fiddling with an old engine that might spark arch or errupt into a ball of flames from the timing being off.

You guys did a great job of showing everybody what you can accomplish with the bare minimum of stuff. Now that you know what you have, the fuel pump, carb kit and ignition switch are justified. This is the old school way, like my grandpa and my uncles taught me. It's too bad they don't build things based on logic and common sense any more. I totally enjoyed watching both of these 2 vids.

There is a window on the distributor cap that allows for a special flexible allen wrench to enter and you can adjust the points on the fly with a dwell meter.

On these older cars you have 2 small terminals on the solenoid. One is the trigger. 12 volts to it engages the starter. The other goes to the + side of the coil. It feeds 12 volts to the points for a hot start. Once the car starts and the solenoid is released power goes to the points through a resistor wire dropping the power to the points to 9 volts. It makes the points last longer.

Change the oil. Then while it's draining take a good look at the choke and throttle linkage on that Rochester 4GC carburetor. The throttle must be cracked to re-set the fast idle cam and allow the choke plate to close. That is why you pump the gas pedal at least once on a cold engine. Re-install the heat tube to the exhaust manifold so the automatic choke will open. If you can find a "Motors Manual" from the early '60's buy it. Therein lies a wealth of knowledge.... good luck. Oh btw the generator with the armature drive for the Power Steering pump is Gold. That drive is also used for the rare unobtainium factory Tachometer.

56's didn't have that and i don't remember any 57's having it .It's how you adjust the dwell on the fly and quite a good idea back then (i bought a near new 56 belair when i was 17,and back then Model T was a 40 year old antique..) )
