NEW BUILD! Saving My 1972 LSA Monte Carlo From Car Port Disaster!

What happens here

The creator expresses doubt about the car starting due to its long period of inactivity, even though it had previously started easily after battery reconnection. He attempts to start the vehicle. He turns the ignition key, and the fuel pump audibly primes, but the engine only cranks without firing up. This initial attempt to start the car is unsuccessful, indicating a deeper issue than just a dead battery, or insufficient power from the partially charged battery.

Goal: Attempt to start the Monte Carlo and assess initial engine response.

Tools and materials

  • Ignition Key N/A — To start the car
  • Monte Carlo Chevrolet — The car being started

stuff but it's been sitting for almost a year since the last time I fired up but we're gonna see if it'll start because every time I've tried to start it since it's been dormant I just hooked the battery back up and it fires right up so I don't know if the battery will have enough juice left in it to do that even though it's been unhooked but uh we're gonna see this is literally like a barn find like I can't even it just looks like terrible it hurts this car has given me nothing but problems for forever like I put all this LSA stuff on here from the Escalade in freaking 2017 I did that and the transmission I got with the pull out was jumped from the beginning it never worked so I put the Escalades old transmission in it with some kind of like hodgepodge tail shaft slip yoke configuration that I figured out and that one slips third and fourth which is what's in there right now so it'll it'll run and drive around but it can't like hold any power I didn't kill the rest of the way to find out but it's all it's all here I even made a nice intake for it like just freakin crap everywhere god I feel so bad but let's get this battery hooked back up and see if there's a little boil fire up how we got a hook
