- We finaly did it! After 26 years this 1964 Chevrolet Impala Convertible makes its "Maiden Voyage" aka first run arround the block!
First we went trough some last minute fixes and checks, next up we will be doing wiring.
The goal is to have a mechanicly dependable car before starting on the cosmetics (bodywork and interior).

Did you have to adjust the valve ?
I didn't, the valves train sounds pretty good. During first start up it did have some ticking noices but its normal since it was sitting since 1995. Once oil pressure build up it went away
Nice work, what country are you in?
Belgium, Europe
mortel!
How about the ac got a video on that ?
Unfortunately I have not been lucky enough yet to find/have an Impala with AC 🥲
How do adjust the steering control valve. I replaced mine and now mine turns..
You have to turn the adjusting bolt on the side either in or out. Best is to have the wheels in the air, start the car, see if it turns itself, turn off the car, adjust valve and repeat untill the wheels stay centered and dont steer on their own.
@@AMB1800 ok. It was new, didn’t think I would have to.. so would I turn loose? or turn tight??
@@AMB1800 also do I need Teflon tape on the threads of the hoses or no Teflon tape needed??
@@1962rag it depends in which direction the wheels pull, you will have to try either way and see what happens. Its a precise part so even a quarter turn can make a difference
@@1962rag no teflon needed on the fittings since they are conical.
