1950 Chevy w/ 235
Well this weekend I finally got most of my bugs worked out and fired up the 235! It feels good to have it move under its own power after tinkering with it all winter. I found out my radiator now leaks, so now I need to replace or repair that too. Anyways here it is...
Here is a link to a youtube clip from yesterday: Some other pics:

Love it! Those inline sixes sure look clean and simple when they're all restored, dont they?

Re: 1950 Chevy w/ 235
Looking good, I assume you got the filter oil leak fixed? Also, I'd keep an eye on the upper radiator hose when it gets to temp it might try and kink at the upper bend.

Re: 1950 Chevy w/ 235
Thanks guys!
Yeah, I ended up making a gasket for the bolt that holds the lid down on the filter canister. After checking and double checking my lines for correct placement I think its all good now. I also installed a new fuel pump, and that made a big difference starting it too. Dont have to worry about starting a fire due to fuel spitting out of the side of the pump!
