Could a impact drive be modified to use as a starter,like the drag cars.

Will I ever need this knowledge to start a 1926 truck? No. Did I watch this whole video and enjoy the shit out of it? Hell yes.

When you hear the sound of an old engine start up for the first time in around 80 plus years, it's about one of the best sound ever.

In every cylinder, because the fuel pump, which isn't frozen and isn't leaking through its antique gaskets under pressure, keeps delivering enough gas through a filter and line that aren't hopelessly plugged with gunk, from a gas tank with fuel clean enough to make the trip.

We have a guy here in NZ called Marty, he's exactly like this guy,no BS very, instructional,and never fails,like this guy,a pleasure to watch,

Gotta love the tenacity of cranking the old girl for 20 hours knowing that if you can heat cycle the engine the rings will probably unstick and she will run better and better. Hats off to you sir. Eager to see how she looks going forward

That’s just how older stuff was made, built to last. Nowadays stuff is weaker because companies want to make more money, and what better way to do that then to make customers buy replacements after the previous one breaks?

I definely wanna see one day this thing gets restored back to life, would be awesome to see it running again on the road. I'm not a huge car specialist but iwhat I think is that if the engine works fine, the rest will just be as easy to get it back running.

At first I didn't think I was gonna make it through your commentary. But I like watching videos like this and I was able to watch the whole thing. Congrats on getting her running. I hope you spend the time on her to give her a proper restore. Tear motor down, tear tranny down and everything else that needs to be torn down and rebuilt.

Sheer persistence and youthful energy paid off here! So many small things to accumulate over time and conspire to prevent success, but something in you says …I will succeed! Well done! Cheers from Englsnd

You proved 3 things. You are one determined man. They truly don't make things like they used to. And what a brilliant invention the electric starter is. I thought it would surely be rusted way beyond ever running. The synthetic oil they now make from natural gas will probably look almost the same 80 years from now. All the lighter fractions evaporated from that petroleum based oil. Then again, the goo coated the metal, keeping the water off parts.

You're a wizard, sir. Well done!
