I am old enough to remember how hard it was to start cars in the winter. I would look up and down the street to see whose car was started and warming up. If a neighbor's car wouldn't start my Mom would get a phone call for someone's child needing a ride to school. Our car always started ... We had a fuel injected Opel Sportswagon. My father always winterized it with a tune up radiator flush and oil change Halloween weekend.
Love watching your videos sir! You have a good thing going with your family and rigs and such. I want something similar when I'm older. A good family, a decent house with a decent garage, and of course some cool cars too.
Always a sense of satisfaction hearing a cold carbureted engine start. They took a skilled hand to adjust the choke pull off and high idle settings not to mention checking the heat riser and hot air door in the breather, ahh the good old days.
Nice to see someone smart enough not to be revving the daylights out of their engine right after a cold start. I'm still waiting for a real "cold" start, like -25°. LOL
Amazing video, perfect view, awesome sounds. I love it! You should make one of these every week! We could see how they all act as the weather changes. So neat!
Ha Ha! Like so many of us Yankees, I'd would think I was in Heaven with bare ground and +12 rather than -12 degrees this morning. Enjoy the warm southern sun.
On that blue and white 71 - I have essentially the same set of mini gauges at the bottom of my dashboard. That starter sounded different, almost like a diesel starter? Beautiful!
Nothing like wondering if you were going to stall putting it into gear or getting a green light and stalling off the line 😂😱🔊🔊🔊 let the road rage commence
I never understood why it always seemed any Chevy's I had were more cold natured than any other brands. Give up hevyshevy, if you posted a cold start at -60, someone would comment, That's not cold, it's -90 here in Uninhabitable, Canada, last week it was -200 and we had to put on long sleeves!
Hey can you help me I'm trying to start my dad's 1956 Chevy truck it ain't been started since 1992 I've been turning it over and over and over about every year at least turn it over real good I'm starting to get a little bit of fire but it wants to backfire a lot I don't know if I should run my Gap out more or in the morning when timing spark gap if you would please let me know what I should do or you think I'm a hundred eighty out but I turned it back and like no spark but at least it's backfiring but not cranking
Do you think that heat shield under he carb on your 400 makes a difference? Did you ever have run on or boiling issue before it? Always love seeing the bird
At 257 in the video my mom's red Camaro 2004 t-top V6 stock made the same sound in your blue Chevy that sound means it's going bad which my mom now has a 2012 black Camaro with Flowmasters stock she sold her red one for 2,000 and the guy who bought it lives in Warner Robins or Macon but yeah you need to get that fixed nice truck though I love old trucks
