[@ivanpomy]

[@friguy4444]

And THAT is why he's THE stud Muffin! He just keeps on going until it's complete!!!

[@philippberry4900]

I’m going to hear it cranking in my dreams tonight.

[@DaysofPainandVictory]

Haha sorry for the nightmares!

[@ericcranston8158]

Yes, it will run again, after another 36 years of cranking the motor.😂

[@DaysofPainandVictory]

Haha yeah we cranked on it quite a bit

[@davidbarr832]

My father had 6 Studebaker larks 5 62's and a 59 lark. When he got it the engine was mm locked up and he had to rebuild the engine. It was a v8 also. Looks like had a rough time with yours they can be stubborn to work on.

[@DaysofPainandVictory]

That’s a lot of studebakers! Did he restore any of them? Yeah this was kinda tough, but it was sitting a long time and honestly I’m still learning the diagnostic side of this hobby.

[@davidbarr832]

@@DaysofPainandVictory yes they all run on the road. He found parts at Studebaker car shows and the Studebaker club.

[@davidbarr832]

@DaysofPainandVictory there is a breather tube off the engine on the passenger side is where the smoke could have been coming from. It has a open crankcase.

[@DaysofPainandVictory]

@@davidbarr832 thanks good to know!

[@davidbarr832]

@@DaysofPainandVictory When I got my drivers license in 1983 I drove a 62 Studebaker lark with no power steering or power brakes. And it had three on the tree which made it interesting. The examiner definitely seemed nervous. LOL

[@darrenreinke4482]

Omg...hard to watch...props for getting it running though.

[@DaysofPainandVictory]

What made it hard to watch? What can we do to make it better?

@@DaysofPainandVictory spraying tons of starting fluid down a bone dry engine was a little rough but its your car lol.. cylinders prolly shine like a diamond now though

[@DaysofPainandVictory]

@@mattrage1673 we did two stroke gas and oiled the cylinders as well so it wasn’t all starter fluid. Thanks for watching
