it's a wet Saturday at the shop and Nick is trying to get a few cars finished up
and out of his way. I'm having a big dilemma over this motor.He came here
because he had no spark but we changed the distributor, got it going, now he always has a
spark but the problem is a fuel.. it floods you see this carburetor this carb
that it came with.. it keeps flooding right keeps flooding so I change the needle
and seat guess what it still floods... I adjusted the
float it's still floods ..so he had a holly mechanical fuel pump you don't need a
regulator forever right you go to 7 pounds 8 pounds
I installed a regulator with a fuel gauge I brought it down to 5 pounds and
guess what it's still floods... you come to a stop sign you see the carb fill up
to the top ..so then what do you do so guess what I did I put in another carburetor
edelbrock, that's what it did same thing 100%... then I said you know what
maybe i will take off the holy pump and put a regular Carter fuel pump mechanical I
put it on guess what same thing ... two different carbs two
different pumps, i have the same story I even installed a regulator I remove the
gas cap in case it builds up pressure in the tank I did everything
it just keeps flooding. bizarre right? very bizarre so we think for a Holley ?
2 Carters, man I and the other Carter I'm sorry not the Carter, edelbrock the
other Edelbrock I use on the dyno I never had any issues I put on this car
got flooded you know what I'm gonna try a Holley
just for fun yeah where else could keep the pressures something's boosting the
pressure what ? mechanical pump no electric pump it's only mechanical if you put a
regulator to bring it out to five pounds it should not flood out you have to see
the gas, you know what yeah when you turn it off when it when it
stalls you see the carb, the float the the venturies all full fuel all into
the intake manifold then you gotta take it all the plugs, crank the fuel out..
everything to get it started again
you know what I'm gonna go back inside work on the 64 Rambler change the set of
points get that car running and there at least we have one car running out of two
sounds like a good idea
sometimes a car will throw a few twists at Nick as he works to track down a
problem sometimes he'll discover new problems along the way he's not going to
quit until he makes his customers happy but when one job gets frustrating Nick
always has another that needs his attention too here's a 1964 Rambler
classic 660 from American Motors.. 1964, look how clean it is, check it out... it's got four
doors and six cylinders but it means a lot to its owner so Nick is trying to
get it started after a long time in storage the Rambler classic was the
toyota camry of its time a sensible mid-sized sedan in 64 if you wanted
solid affordable transportation you'd be looking at a Ford Fairlane a Dodge Dart
the Chevy Chevelle or this well-appointed family car
although they were offered with engines up to a 270 horsepower v8 this one has a
thrifty 90 horsepower inline 6... they can't all be Hemis ...ok, crank it over.
its got gas, not strong. yeah.
ok, you turned off the key?
yes okay it should start ..it came we adjusted the points it's started and drove over
for a couple of days then it broke down again so I got a new set of points but I
got spark I got fuel coming through the filter so before I go into the
carburetor let me I pump it a few times and see where okay let's start let's say
you need to put oil already put yours let's see what happens
there you go.. told you.
this is really old-school
we got a 64 Rambler came in on towing checked to see what the problem is.. I see it's
got a spark that comes and goes so I know he had issues with the points I finally
found a set so we're gonna take off to the distributor cab replace the points and see if
it starts... a lot of mechanics nowadays don't
know what these are is your set of points way before electronic ignition
there they are
nick is no stranger to cars with old ignition systems with points but when he
gets a good look at the ones in the Rambler he realizes they're not the same
as the new ones he'd found ... this is really old school can't get older that
is I mean in my shop 64 it's common but then again trying to find parts for
these things everyday you don't find that easy you do eventually find them
if you have the time so lets see if i can get these points up but I need
them today to finish off and deliver the car today but as you can see... we're gonna try
cleaning them instead of that replacing them ...well... let's clean them up a bit
i want to file them down just get a nice flat tip and see if they work after that
anyways we're just doing this temporarily until we find a set of
points ..as my client needs this car tonight we're gonna do a fast repair by
fining down the tip of the points just to get them going
I don't care everybody does it but this is the way I do it ..actually we are cleaning it
because there are a little bit burnt on the tip that looks pretty cool a little
bit more this is all in the 60s 50s the 40s in the early 70s and after that
became electronic ignition and way after that electronic fuel injection but this
is a time with carburetors and points so this is what we got today this is what
we're going to deal with I do it of course less and less often because we've
done a lot of conversions to electronic edition from points but this client wants it
the way it is so we're gonna end up putting back the same points so let's go
put them on and see what happens
this is this is sweet a 1964 Rambler original except for the gas filter oil
filter and battery everything else besides that genuine... look at that
even the radiator cap is original god this is awesome.. lets put them in and
hopefully get started is that can't wait to drive this car around the block
i once got a phone call last year, a guy tells me 'Nick I got an old car i need to
replace the point you know what those are?' I told him yeah I know what they are
and you know what it was it was a 71 HEMI Cuda I will dual points a HEMI Cuda with dual points that is rare it comes here man
an original owner believe it or not anyways job was done
we gotta deliver... okay here we go... I love working on these old cars
they are so simple.. and you know what's the fun part about it? People ask me what are you doing? Jeez.
I said very simple, changing a set of points or adjusting them or whatever you know
they go whatever, they have no idea what im doing
especially the new mechanics
there aren't many guys like Nick who can still keep these old cars on the road
and even fewer who can do it when the replacement parts ordered aren't the
right ones... but Nick wants his client to have his ride for the weekend so he
takes the time to patch the Rambler up and keep it rolling
Let's go for a road test.
64 American Motors
what a ride. this is the way it was in the 60s check that out now there's an
American Motors does not even exist anymore this is awesome
man, there's no blind spot in these cars everywhere you look is windows
it came in on the tow truck but the Rambler will drive home with a happy
customer behind the wheel all thanks to a little know-how and Nick's garage
