FORGOTTEN 34 Years! Will This V8 Buick LeSabre RUN and DRIVE? Part 1 

Yeah Mortske’s same color and interior as well.

@@andydiaz7296 yes sir

Don’t catch yours on fire like he did 🤣🤣🤣

I was thinking that or torque convertor loose.

@@Hobodeluxe960 Me too. backed off torque convertor bolt. Had it happen on my 74 Corvette. Looks like it might have a sticking valve (backfiring) so was hoping he would at least remove the valve covers and check the timing. I don't think I would have even attempted to start it without building the carb. They almost always need building from sitting.

I had an Oldsmobile that was doing the same thing. When we pulled the engine it had dent in the pan. We dropped the pan and found were it was hitting. Straightened out the dent and it ran as smooth as silk.

@@pclayton5063 yeah but that would have showed up on the compression test. and as a dead miss.

Hopefully Dylan doesn't catch it on fire.

@@64lesabre455 Mortske -Moses .Buick - burning bush.And neither was consumed.Makes you think

I was thinking the same thing that what's the chance two 60's full size Buick LeSabre's are brought out on the same day

Buick season!! 😂

Just finished mortske’s video and now here I am on Dylan’s lol

@LunarOutlawsGarage Well, there's a name I haven't seen in some time! How are you?

@@lateefcarrere1649 I am doing really well man. The director, producer gig is keeping me pretty busy, but with the super done pretty much regular contact is going to be coming out again very soon.

@@lateefcarrere1649 how have you been man?

Hey Bryan, I have this car in my back yard but it is a Wildcat convertible. I will get back to it someday.

I know you!

I did turn it over by hand, we just didn’t film it. That’s what determined me working on it for the video.

Toyota Jan, New Baby Tundra.

There are quite a few shortcomings associated with this will it run, but we won't mention them due to time constraints

I agree I think it's off a tooth or so it just doesn't seem to run just right. And the abrupt stop when it shuts off and the backfire make me think it's off time.

Mine had the nylon teeth broken on it

That is true I've done that to a oldsmobile 307 by beating on it with a half functional qjet and it stretches the timing chain til it cracks up the nylon timing gear for the camshaft and it quits and takes forever to try to restart,I have also done that with a Buick 3.8 1985 oldsmobile cutlass supreme brougham salon 231 V6, I had just put a brand new cloyes timing chain and gear set in it and pre lubed the oil pump which on a Buick 231v6 is on the front cover of the engine.. and unfortunately I drove it down the road and stomped into the dual jet 2bbl and it acquired a oil leak on the Dr side of the front cover I had just resealed and let it sit up in about 75 degree weather for half a day anyways in less than a mile after it started leaking it acquired rod knock that was louder than the stretched timing chain I pulled it apart for and then wouldn't run faster than 30mph and didn't want to idle sucked since was a very solid southern car with 127k miles had a beautiful deluxe velour 60/40 bench seat front interior the supreme brougham salon pwr woodgrain trim door panels and the checkered pattern on the seats gold interior and the only bad part of the interior was the trim around the heater cigarette lighter and gm Delco am fm stereo no tape player..was broken around the top of the heater control panel..

And this is also why I have said I don't usually waste my time with the gm 77-88 Buick rwd 3.8 231 V6 engine I have had three fail after fixing them and then there was the one I had in highschool that I ended trading for the 74 chevy Cheyenne super c10 long bed 2wd southern truck with patched floors and new cab corners welded on, anyways I had a Dayton Ohio native since new metallic brown with cream yellow pinstripe 1983 Buick regal limited 117k mile very nice interior velour limited pillow top bench seat front interior and absolutely complete factory 15 inch steel Buick road five spoke mag wheels and whitewall tires,am fm stereo 8 track,it was factory manual window car was supposed to be a one owner old lady car, and I got it from a 76 yr old lady in 1993 and it would do really good posi burnouts but it knocked from the time I got the car and the oil pump had no oil pressure but you could not blow it up so I had bought bearings sets,mains,rods, gasket set and new melling oil pump and a good used 84 Buick regal limited 3.8 231 V6 crank that was in cleanable by Scotch Brite pad/Emory cloth lol and also a gm 4bbl intake m4mc non computer feedback qjet carb and distributor and then ended up trading for the truck oh and that car had a good th2004r overdrive transmission and very little rust but the passenger side mirror got pruned off the door and fender got dented by the mirror, and the back corner of the rear bumper on the right side was bent.

You may be right, but it idles pretty well for having a bad timing chain.

I had it idled up so it would run. Carburetor is in serious need of help.

Yep, i think your right danny. May need to twist on that lightnin whirler one way or the other to clear it up,along with a carb rebuild

Fun video dylan. Ill be waiting on part 2. I love me some 50s,60s,70s buicks

180 degrees out it would not be running! Only backfiring.

I think 64-67 lesabres all had the 4.9 litre (300) V8. Aluminum intake and heads. I shot a rod three the block on my 64 and put a 455 in it. Still a work in progress.

All Nailheads had the ignition at the rear of the engine, this is a 300 CI Buick small block.

Should be the 310 Wildcat, 300CID BSB.
