VE Valiant VIP 1968, Barn find in UK, engine start after 25 years
Originally published on Nov 29, 2012. Video modified Feb 2013.
A very few of these Chrysler cars made in Australia were imported into UK in late 1960's. Shares a lot of parts with the US Dodge Dart. 273 cubic inch V8 engine (about 4.4L). This was actually smallest of the Chrysler small-block engines. This car was sold in Cardiff around 1970. Had been in mint condition with 32K miles on clock until around 2 to 4 years ago when left outside in British rain. Lots of surface rust but all panels are sound. No welding needed.
Drained oil. New oil. Oil down bores. Oil on rockers. Checked engine turned. Starter changed. Starter relay fixed. Spun engine with plugs out. Found a few distributor problems which were fixed. Checked for sparks then went for a first engine start after many years standing.
Rigged up temporary fuel supply to carb (funnel and hose seen in video) as petrol from tank smelled like varnish so could damage engine if used. Very cold winter evening.
Engine runs.
Feb 2013: Second half of this video taken when engine running sweetly after a lot more work and a small incident with burning petrol. Putting petrol down the carb is OK most of the time but it CAN (and did) catch fire if blows back!
Lots more still photos of the ongoing work here:
