  • I picked up this 1961 Chevrolet BelAir 4 door post this summer at a garage sale. It took me a few months to get it home but lets see if we can get this thing to run!! Story goes, an old bachelor had this thing for many years and the gentleman I got it from purchased it from his estate but never did anything with it in the 20 years he had it. It was last licensed in 1974! Let's see if we can get this 235 inline six to breathe fire again! This 1961 sedan along with the other 4 door hardtop have been sold! As always, thanks for watching!

    Had a thought about debris in the intake. Remove the spark plugs so the valves can’t pull vacuum, then stick the shop-vac down the throat of the intake and crank the engine so that you pull vacuum back through each of the valves. Maybe clean out the loose stuff anyway. Experiment for a future project?

    My grandparents had a 1961 Bel Air 4-door sedan like this when I was a little boy. I haven't seen any pictures of it for many years but it was either Seafoam Green (like Mortske's Impala) or Seamist Turquoise. When they owned it they lived in an apartment on a steep hill in the Twin Peaks area of San Francisco. I remember being scared when sitting in the back seat of my parents' Impala when going up that hill. In 1971 my grandfather sold the car to his wife's nephew and bought a used 1970 Impala that had air conditioning. All of us took a cross country trip that summer in that car because only it had AC. He bought both the 1961 Bel Air and 1970 Impala from a friend who was district zone manager for Chevrolet.

    Just an observation- seems like Duff likes his cars the way my brother likes his women, the trashier the better...
    I enjoy watching you pull vehicles out of a field and work on them. You take on some pretty well worn stuff.
    Quick story, my grandmother had a 1961 Belair Post 235 3 speed. My Dad and uncle rebuilt the motor in our garage when the body was pretty decent. It ended up rusted out so bad she couldn't drive it anymore but the motor ran like a top. she had a wheat field way back behind the barn that had patches of horseweeds that didn't get cut and it made sort of a maze. My cousin, brother and I (I was driving and only about 14 years old) slipped the old Belair back in the field one night and were making laps and kept getting braver/faster with each round. finally ended up on two wheels darn near rolling it, seemed like forever before it finally came back down. We were scared to death. We still talk about that night at family get togethers. Funny how working on or driving cars seems to be the common thread between some friends and families. Had a great time growing up helping my Dad and Grandpa work on stuff. Hopefully I can have some fun with my grandson working on junk... when he is old enough to twist wrenches....

    Do you mean roll starting it?? I learned to do just that on my old ranger,it is the mechanics special& the carb was garbage when I bought it,when it stalled out while driving it,I learned how to roll start itand ended up getting really good at it!! Just had to spend $500.oo bucks on repairing the electrical.the previous owner had wired everything up backwards,dangerous and the live ground wires were hanging down onto the drive shaft!! Alot of it was arching,burnt& scorched. We are very poor after paying all the bills. Still the crank seal,the main seal& the oilpan gasket is leaking. And it just needs a engine rebuild..everything cost wise now is even more expensive..Tho it would be nice to afford drive something that is'nt in such sad shape..We feel your pain mr. Morshqie. Our budget is so far below the poverty line,it hurts.

    I love these "make it run" videos... my first car was a 1959 Bel Air with the 235 and Powerglide. My Dad told me that it didn't have enough power to "pull a greasy string out of a cat's a$$"! It had plenty of body weight reduction-- you could see the road going by through the holes in the floorboards-- but it was pretty reliable. One day, I went to start her up, and the battery was on its' last legs. It was on the verge of starting, but wouldn't turn over one more time. Completely frustrated, I opened the hood and pushed down on one of the fan blades. Of course that was all it took to make it roar into life... nearly taking my hand off at the same time! I had forgotten that the key was still in the "on" position! I remember buying 14" recapped tires for the car for $14.99 each... nothing but the best for me! Great vids, Mortske! Pet Duff for me!

    WHY don't you set the ignition timing, with one of those many timing lights you have, at cranking speed with the plugs out..... One less thing to horse with when trying to start an engine that sat decades.
    The body is in decent shape all things considered. It would make a great parts car for the coupe.

    The thing with those 235 oil filters is they are hooked to the oil pump bypass outlet. If the pump never reaches full pressure the oil never comes out the bypass line to the filter.

    Fifty years ago I bought a 1959 Chevrolet Brookwood 2door station wagon from my father. (I needed a car because I had flipped my 1967 Dodge Dart /273 auto and needed transportation to college in the coming fall.). The Brookwood had been a family car and we used it for hunting and fishing. I learned to drive in it, practicing on muddy backroads before I had a learners permit. It had a 235 I6 and three on the tree. It was a big old lead sled that got 20 miles for each gallon of 30 cent gas. I drove it to college two hours from our home and had big plans to install a 327 with LT1 heads (that I was building) and a rock crusher. Before I could get it all done the early 70s bad economy hit the family business hard and I lost my garage in the back of the business building when we had to close. At the same time the 235 cracked a head and without a shop I couldn’t finish the 327 or work on the 235. Sold car with 235 and partially finished 327 for about $75. I’ve missed that car for almost fifty years. I’ve enjoyed these 235 videos a lot, and didn’t realize that I had forgotten how they sound. Thanks for doing the videos. Brings back memories.
