Hey all i found your site doing a google search, and glad I did.
I have tasked with helping a coworker whos father passed away early last year getting a 1928 Chevy 4door up and running again.
With many questions to come, and with the wealth of knowledge from you all I am sure it will be easy.
I will post some pictures next time I am with the car so i might get a better idea of the exact model

Welcome to the Chatter, towtruck.

Howdy towtruckmikey,

Welcome to the VCCA forums! This is definitely the best place to get info and trade lies with old Chevy folks!

The '28 cars had a Car Number plate with info on it that will help with identification. Also, get the engine block casting and stamped numbers that are near the distributor. Post all this info and we'll help decipher it.

As for getting it up and running, how long has it been sitting? Before even attempting to turn the engine over, I suggest squirting a little Marvel Mystery Oil or automatic transmission fluid into the spark plug holes and let it soak for a while before turning the engine over. Also, take off the rocker cover off and oil the rocker arms.

The oil in the cylinders will help protect them from scratching and will help loosen up the piston rings.

Cheers, Dean
