I'm Awesome
So we've had this in our family since the 70's. Its a 1951 chevy 3800, its got an inline six swap from a 62? chev i think. And the body is from a 1952.. yes very mis matched. not a spec of rust, custom build interior from my grandpa, it was used on the farm as a grain truck and then retired.. now im 18 and graduating in june.. i want to have this beast looking and running fine.. so last year i rebuild the starter and rebuild the carb and she was running awesome! put about 200 kms on it. today i went out and started it and it wouldnt even turn over.. the battery has 11 volts, and the starter + wire is getting the same voltage, so i checked both points on the solenoid and there both getting voltage as well with they key on so now im stuck as to where to go from here.. rebuild the starter again?!? hopeing someone would have a bit of insight to these inline sixes as im more mechanically inclined with brand new systems and direct fuel injection newer vehicles... so my immediate plans are too get it running hopefully right away, get the exhaust leak fixed, replace valve cover gaskets (leaking onto mani) and get a chrome valve cover to spruce it up a bit, change all the oils. previous to last year it sat in a coverall in a swap for close to 20 years and after the carb rebuild, starter and brake lines she started up and drove right out after me having to tow it outta the muck.. also planning on getting new rims, and i allready have some nittos for it just need rims. thanks for looking, any help on the no start problem will be appreciated ill try to keep the progress updated as much as i do stuff to it!
