Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

We finally go for a drive in the 1961 Cadillac "Lil Debby" after a grueling 2 years of work. This thing has fought us from start to....not finished, but you know what we mean. Hug wins! And the best part is, we got to share it with the whole family!

    Glad to see lil Debby on the road! One heck of a journey! Very familiar exhaust note, just like rosies! (61 sdv)

    I think carbs are just your arch nemesis. You might need to do some searching for some old school test equipment out of a dealer to help set these old beasts. Glad to see you finally got it running. Now for the next project for you to stumble upon.

    Congratulations on getting her back on the road! yeah those original carbs are a pain in the ass, I had to finally get rid of mine and just go with an edelbrock. Way better performance out of them.

    I hate when people slather the rtv on. A little bit goes a long way. No torque specs? Go a quarter turn past snapped off. Looks like it's time for a carb upgrade. And a driver side brake light. She looks cool going down the road. l knew you guys would get it.
