    The 2 Small Blocks were idling within 2-3 minutes---damn cold natured Big Block Chevys are always a pain---not surprised it took twice as long to cooperate on a chilly day. I had to watch the last part of the video 3 times just hear that beautiful Orchestra.

    I had to put a starter on my 55 Nomad back and in the day. That dude was heavy.

    • @donshotrodgarage1717
      @donshotrodgarage1717  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey Ed! Yeah they sure are heavy! I think the early 12 volt starts are so trick! Happy Thanksgiving 👍

  • @alkennedy1124
    @alkennedy1124 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    That’s good starter, my big blocks are 3 bolts , but with integrated Solenoid and on all of my Chevys I put a jumper across the big post to the start little post up to a Ford solenoid on the firewall somewhere makes it 100% better on the wiring,, works real good, thanks BigAl California

    Those big blocks are cold blooded! That one took a min to warm up, those two small blocks chiming in with the big block was music!
    Plus ya dropped a little knowledge on us with the starter rebuild, great stuff brother 👌

    • @donshotrodgarage1717
      @donshotrodgarage1717  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey BW! Yeah the Big Blocks are super cold natured! I was really into hearing them all with there own sounds. Hopefully soon the convertible will join the party! I think the early 12 volt starters are pretty trick! Happy Thanksgiving to you Kim and your family 👍

    Don, All cars need work. It's called TLC. With all of the Nomads running its music to my ears, like a harmonic cord of 3 balanced tuned cars. Your playing my song, and it sounds sweet.

    • @donshotrodgarage1717
      @donshotrodgarage1717  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Harvey! I enjoyed the comment and it's my song as well. Happy Thanksgiving 👍

    @hubiesgarage ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Don, I tell ya, this is the first video I've ever seen that I smiled from beginning to end! That starter looks factory fresh! It's good to see those early bellhousing mounted starters with those neat Bendix arms sticking out the back of the solenoid. I did not know the battery trays were different on the '55/'56. My buddy Mike owns an electronic shop here in town and he rebuilds starters, generators and alternators. He is a big tri-five guy and I need to get over to his shop to do a video. I am going to have him build me a new high torque factory starter for the historical Gasser and the Del Ray Gasser build. I have Tilton gear reductions in 2 of my '55's and I miss that classic Delco-Remy Sound! That Holley Blue pump is nostalgic too! I could tell it still had gas in it! I have always liked the L-79 '55 Nomad but, Wow, the LS-6 is awesome! I didn't realize it had such a big cam, it sounds great! It sounds like a real Bruiser! I really hope that you are able to tuck it away or hold onto it until you retire because that '55 would make a really fun nostalgia drag car to run at the track 3 or 4 times a year and get the old ticker pumping! I still love the L-79 because I own one too and the '56 is probably my favorite year for the Nomad. Great job on the video! The thumb and title really came out nice too! I hope you and your family have a great thanksgiving! Take care!

    • @donshotrodgarage1717
      @donshotrodgarage1717  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks Jeff! Man I have to tell you I think these early 12 volt starters are so trick! You can mistake a Delco Remy starter sound! Your buddies shop sounds pretty dam cool I may need him to rebuild some stuff down the line. Not many of them old quality shops left around here anymore! Happy Thanksgiving Buddy 👍 Oh and the cam in the LS6 is a comp cams Nostalgia ZL-1 Plus solid lifter, something like 590 intake 613 exhaust. I'll have to find the cam card👍

      Great video Don! Loved hearing them all fire up! My next project is detailing my starter in my L-76 like you have done to your convert. (I’m envious of someone with 4 Nomads and a convertible). Really enjoy your videos. All of them have been helpful to me Have a great Thanksgiving with your family!

  • @BillBynum-n9y
    @BillBynum-n9y ปีที่แล้ว +1
