Subject: [FWDLK] 1956 Belvedere
As I have noted in the past I am the proud owner of a 1956
Belvedere. When I purchased it I knew nothing about it. Didn't
know if it ran or not, didn't know what electical system worked or
didn't....etc....
I bought the car just for the fact that I fell in
love with it and wanted to do whatever I needed to in order to get her on the
road. Plus the price was one that I couldn't
beat!!
Anyways, with the break in the weather I hurried up and
went to my garage and began to work on my new toy. tinkered with this and that
just to get primed for some all out get my hands dirty work on the
engine. Drained the gas out of the tank. (was in the tank for at
least 10 years if not more.) flushed out the line, put in a new battery
and changed just the plugs.
Next thing I knew....She fired up
right away!! And man does she PURRRRRRRRRRR!!! Took her out for a
quick spin around the block and all my lights work signals etc... Tranny
seems to be just fine. (have yet to test her out on a long stretch for proper
testing of smooth shifting.) Exhaust is just fine. Never would be able
to tell that she was sitting dormant for the time she was. Not dormant
anymore!! She is out and couldn't be happier!!
