Our mechanic Jeff can start a rock!
After sitting for 40 years, this 1968 Dodge Super Bee’s 383 was frozen like a rock. We soaked it, freed it, got it turning over and cranking—then got it firing with fuel supplied through the carburetor. Brandy’s reaction says it all!
Fuel-system work is still ahead before it runs reliably on its own fuel supply. Fender tag, VIN, build sheet and core support verified; engine-block stamping verification is still pending.
