Why Won't our 1952 Dodge Wayfarer Business Coupe Start?

[@VinoRatRodbuilds]

Boom baby!

[@EYE_SPIDER]

BOOOOOOM BABY!!!

[@615theBuzzard]

You will get it. Just stay after it

[@EYE_SPIDER]

Thank you so much, brother. I really appreciate the support! Can’t wait to have her on the road!

[@ogsuperflygarage]

Sometimes these classic cars fight us, but we must keep pushing forward for the victory!

[@EYE_SPIDER]

Oh man, amen to that brother! Can’t wait to get through some of the bugs lol

[@TheVitusGarageAutoblog]

Rock N Roll!

[@EYE_SPIDER]

BOOM BABY!!

[@timwindsor03]

Hipe you figure it out. Thanks for sharing. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible night. Much love and RESPECT. Tell Shy i said hello

[@EYE_SPIDER]

Thank you so much, brother! I definitely will! Can’t wait to have her back on the road but I really do think we’re getting close. Just a few more items I think. Luckily I think it’s all easy stuff to sort out once we get there.

[@neverbored_s10_addict]

Youll get it

[@EYE_SPIDER]

Thank you, brother! Luckily, there’s only so many things that could be lol I just gotta figure out what thing I have wrong lol

[@EdgeofEternityBillCameron]

This was a great video Bryce. Shilo is so sweet! Love her!!! (and you too) 🙂 Have you checked the resistor yet? When you switch to the Pertronix you probably won't need a resistor, at least I didn't with the HEI setup.

[@EYE_SPIDER]

Thank you so much, brother. I really appreciate it! I was able to check the resistor with Mongrels Garage as help and Oly’s Garage help. I think we’re definitely getting close. I definitely wouldn’t mind switching to a pet Tronic system.

[@Billybowboski]

Love it, bro daddy and Daughter Day. I hope it starts, bro let's get that spark Aloha 🤙🍺💯

[@EYE_SPIDER]

Thank you so much, my brother! Definitely a fun time for sure! Looking forward to getting her back on the road!

Looks like you are having lots of fun with Morticia! A 12v coil should be fine as long as you are giving it ignition power through the ballast resistor on an ignition circuit. All the ballast resistor is made of, is a ceramic or fiberglass rod with generally a steel wire wrapped around said rod and then it is brazed or solder to the contact points. At a completely cold ballast resistor a majority there should be close to no resistance. Most multimeters will read 0.00 or OL. As that wire heats with current draw the resistance will increase. The resistance is determined by the wire size and length. 5v is a little low with mopar ballast resistors, usually you will see around 7-8v. Check to confirm there is no resistance in the ballast resistor when it is cold and no power applied to it. Also check your coil grounding circuit and the engine block ground strap or wire. I also saw on another one of your video where you were having issues with the starter engaging the ring gear where it is running in place. That is a starter solenoid issue specifically the solenoid on the starter that engages the drive gear. Usually they are gummed up with rust. You just have to pull the solenoid apart and clean the bore out and re grease all pivot points and some silicone oil on the solenoid actuator shaft. Hope this helps a little bit! I enjoyed the video!

[@EYE_SPIDER]

Wow, this is really great feedback. Thank you so much, brother. I really appreciate that! I’ll definitely do as your recommending. I really appreciate all the detail and walk-through. Thank you again again for all the support. I really appreciate it and thank you for watching the video. I hope you have a great day, brother!

[@OLDSKUULGARAGE]

@ you are very welcome! If you have any other questions feel free to reach out. Hope your weekend is going great as well!

[@HogshooterHotrods]

Progress on getting it there, it just aint there yet! Boom Baby is what you want.

[@EYE_SPIDER]

BOOOOOM BABY!!! Oh man, I can’t wait to have her back on the road! Thank you so much for the support brother!

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

Yo Bryce, run a jumper wire from one terminal to the other on that 12v to 5v ballast resister on your firewall (the white thingy). Then start the car. If it fires up, replace the ballast resister but be sure to get a 12V one. Also, check your coil like @OlysGarage stated below. If you have the 3 Ohm coil, disconnect the leads from the resister and connect them directly together bypassing the resister all together.

[@EYE_SPIDER]

Thank you so much for the awesome feedback, brother. I’ll definitely have to try that! Sorry for the delay. I was on vacation last week. We’ve definitely been making progress. You’ll see on today’s video. We do get her up and running, which is awesome. I think we basically have a boil down to just the carburetor.

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

@@EYE_SPIDER Nice!. Those old one barrels are pretty easy.

[@pstreetgarage7304]

I feel like you are close Brice. ! Try the coil then clean connections Try moving the dist just a little at a time. My Comet was lime that but then when it came to life it was great. Boom 💥💥💥

[@EYE_SPIDER]

BOOOOOM BABY!! Thank you brother. I’ll definitely have to give that a try! I appreciate the feedback! Definitely getting close. I bet within the next few weekends will get her up and running.

[@pugliesesspeedshop]

Getting there brotha!! Sounds like a spark issue to me... Keep chasing it man, youll get it!!

[@EYE_SPIDER]

Thank you so much, brother! We’re definitely making good progress. I think on the next video we get the spark sorted out and now we’re down to the carburetor.

[@2StallGarage]

Good video. Your efforts are good and will pay off in the end here.

[@EYE_SPIDER]

Thank you so much, brother. I think we’re definitely getting there although it’s been a little bit of a painful process lol but luckily these engines are pretty simple

[@jamesthev5607]

Car does what it wants, new name Christine

[@EYE_SPIDER]

Oh man, so accurate! Lol this car definitely has a mind of its own lol

[@Foxcanfixit]

Nice job!

[@EYE_SPIDER]

Thank you so much, brother. I’m happy we’re making progress!

[@anthonynapier4668]

👍👍

[@1776_Garage]

The struggles are real! Lol

[@EYE_SPIDER]

Oh man, you ain’t kidding lol luckily though I think we’re getting close as frustrating as the process is lol

[@CowboyCarCrushing]

Does she also help with the editing? I think my daughter would like if I did some of that stuff

[@EYE_SPIDER]

She probably would if I asked her to, but I don’t know if she’s that into it to be honest lol I’m really happy that she enjoys coming out and helping me though!

[@1776_Garage]

Howdy brotatorchip

[@EYE_SPIDER]

Hey brother! Thank you so much for all the support!

[@1776_Garage]

@@EYE_SPIDER No problem. I have a 67 Mercedes that is just as frustrating as your Dodge. Lol
