@LillithCarmichael

They sure do. Unfortunately, my brother isn't around to tinker with it anymore. He ran away to North Carolina.

whats that smoke coming fron the right side of the engine??

around 1:32 of the vido??

[katey1dog]

@elgringotomecino

Oil, I think.

[kaunasprince]

I had mine a long time ago.It was not all that old then.Best I can remember is that I had it around 1964.The going joke was "change the oil and the ball joints".I loved the comfort ,styling and power.

[kaunasprince]

I had one, and my dad had one.Great power,crappy suspension.Terrible MPG,but it was fun punching it at 90 and being pushed back in the seat.

@kaunasprince

I never personally cared for the car. Dad bought it when I was a boy and he couldn't make it work. Brother finally got it working in college. Now he jumped state and we don't know what to do with it.

Also, yes that should be smoking. That is the crankcase ventilation before they invented the modern PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) system. There is also another breather under the car.

its .060 over with an RV cam.

[loudlives]

how did you get that nice sound?

[katey1dog]

After 15 years or so in the garage collecting dust, my brother got it to college and rebuilt the engine. Right now, it's operating with 7 cylinders and not 8.

But it does sound nice!

[i973blazer4x4]

actually it was running on all cylinders. it was running rich though. it has factory exauset and a mild cam that i installed during the rebuild.

[superbassmario]
