I put 3 ounces in at every fill up! Also did this for years with my '50 Buick. Works like a charm! Got the advice from on old Buick mechanic

Congrats!

Great job! Congratulations and Thank You!

So I went out this morning 30 degrees and followed all the tips suggested; GAV at 6:00, flick of the wrist on the choke and it took four tries of it cranking and not starting before it finally went. I’m wondering if it’s because when I shut the car off I let it run totally out of gas? I was told...

Yes see my pic

Perhaps I misstated and apologize for doing so. As you can see from the attached pics I have a true positive ground system and I was able to get the charger working correctly connecting to the head bolt and starter apparently I just didn’t have a good connection on the head bolt.

I have a positive ground with an alternator. Red to the head bolt, black to the starter wire and it shows reverse but when I go directly to battery red to negative and black to positive it shows fine. Not a big deal, but was thinking it would be easier to connect it the way Paul shows in the...

My 1930 coupe doesn’t like to star when it’s cold. Was headed out to a car show Sunday, and went to start her at 9:00 with the temperature of 28 degrees. I start her using the correct starting method. She cranks and fires up once then stalls. Try her again same thing. Try her again and she just...

WOW!!! Great information!!
