Might want to start a black board , write down all the things you need to do. Get the carb kit or you wont know if the thing will excelerate correctly if you don't .blow out the fuel lines they might be cloged. get brake kits, only for rear , change front too Disk. your family will thank you.
Love this car! Actually have an original 55 jacket that went with my grandpas 55 but unfortunately he has dementia now and my family sold it before I had a chance to get it. Been in my family forever
Thank you. Mine didn't have corrosion - but being 18 years old, was concerned, as already had done this before on an E36 BMW. I used the same 12-point 11mm wrench with 15 degree offset, that I used on the E36, both worked nicely without rounding.
Awesome work so far. I'm late to the party clearly, so I'm not sure how far you got with this, but if you haven't already and I'm no expert by any means but Danchuk auto parts, a great source for tri five Chevys.. I hope to see more on this project.
Thank you very much for sharing. Anyone doing this job should be aware. All the videos I saw did address this problem which is the most important part of the starter removal process.
I never post but this is the best n one of the clearest directions I've ever heard in my life people should take note n apply the same depth n detail to there vids...hats off to .... We appreciate u ....God bless
Awesome!! 235 engines were unstoppable. The 55 210 or DelRay had the best interiors IMO. They had leather door panels while the mor premium BelAir had cloth door panels. I myself much prefer the leather. I also like the 2dr sedans over the hard top models. You're so lucky to have this Chevy. It would be a dream come true for me. ❤
This is my exact problem, and I was thinking the same exact way of going about it. My concern was whether or not the bolt will come out of the jb welded socket after
I've not seen a video after this one, showing the new brake setup you talked about here. Hope it has a new hubs with roller bearings and not the ball's that came from GM. As you are trying to keep it as it was as much as possible, suggestion would be update the wiper from vacuum to electric. GM only used the ground to body add one to frame then to eng. Replace ALL lights with LED's as a lot easer on the generator. Hope your sister enjoys many a happy mile in it. They can be a lot of work but also a lot of fun. I drive a 57 Sport coupe. (4 door HT) now only thing that is 57 is the body.
I have a 55 210 survivor. I was at a car show and a little boy wanted his mom , to take a picture of him sitting on the front bumper. There was a fully restored one next to mine. But not he wanted the picture of mine as rough as it was. Made my day!
Do some basic troubleshooting. Disconnect the output of the fuel pump to see if it's pumping. Also, gravity feed fuel directly from the roof to the carb.
