All the comments here roasting.. but everybody missed the best part!!! The ignition wasn't in the "lock" position when he got in I was getting ready for him to just start it.... But then he made the big deal of putting the keys in that he did not need to turn the ignition 😂😂😂 Love my 64' 4door too!!! They are sooo much fun to drive, sporty little things!!!
I think after the 64s and maybe some of the 64s the key worked like 68 and 69 GM. The was a off position and a lock position. Oh and they push start easy in 2nd. If it isn't a powerslide automatic. I miss that. I have to keep my 2003 Envoy on a battery maintainer. The alarm drains the battery. Even worse if it is drained to much. Can not get the keys out until you put a charge on it.
cold weather start. Crank it for about 4 seconds. Press the pedal to the floor twice. Crank it. if it sputters. let run until it stops Press the gas once. crank it. Let it run about 30 seconds and tap the gas again. Put it reverse and let the clutch out slowly and go easy on the gas petal. About a minute later the engine will run a lot better. There will be some heat. About enough to defrost the windshield Then there will be plenty after you go about minute at 60 MPH in 4th. I drove one every day for 3 years. The best thing I ever drove in the snow. Put 14 inch snow tires on the rear and it would go almost everywhere a 4WD would go. Probably the next toughest thing to a FJ 60 Toyota. Minus the ground clearance. Bought it new. Sold it with 100,000 miles on it. Yes I always kept a spare fan belt and a wrench where the spare used to be. Kept the spare in the front.
My late aunt used to own one of these, once upon a time. She was having trouble cold starting it in the winter and said a mechanic had told her to “hold the pedal to the floor.” She obviously missed the part about, “let off the gas when she starts,” because she over-revved the cold engine one frosty morning and blew it up. Poor little old car! 😢
It is a dynamo to be precise 2right4words! It is technically a DC generator & they only charged at a certain engine speed due to the fact that the dynamo pulley is exactly the same size as the crankshaft pulley, if dynamo pulley is smaller then the dynamo armature will be damaged. Hope this is helpful.
@@patday1121Correct! Alternators produce AC current but you cannot charge a battery with AC current so a rectifier is fitted in alternator converting the AC current to DC current fit for charging the battery & running electrics on car. What you see fitted here is a dynamo which produced DC current but only charged at a certain engine speed because the crankshaft pulley & dynamo pulley are exactly the same size & if the dynamo ran faster than the engine due to smaller pulley then serious damage will occur to dynamo armature. Dynamos were technically called generators I have to admit.
If you're a dealer, you should be ashamed of not discussing the badly leaking fuel pump. That's a fire hazard and you would have seen and smelled it. If you sold it that way without disclosing it, you should be sued. I know who to NEVER buy a car from that's for sure.
Yup those aftermarket pumps were a problem in the late 90’s. The replacement pumps were fixed and no leaks after that. I even bought a NOS AC pump that was probably 20 years old at the time and it never leaked but had bad valves inside.
He said it's been sitting for a week. Pretty typical for a carbureted engine. Fuel evaporates or drains back into the tank. The engine driven fuel pump has to reprime the system.
