Oh man, how embarrasing. (Uncle Tony/Nick's Garage)

Anyone see the Charger episode where it sat for 10 years.
Tell me why that 383 didn't start.
It had fuel (lots), and spark.
This is why Nicks Garage annoys me a bit sometimes.
That motor should have had the plugs pulled and cylinders oiled before they ever moved a piston for one.
Yea, they primed the motor but that doesn't oil cylinders.

Then after apparently not oiling the cylinders, pouring a pint of fuel down it's throat. (Bad idea for already dry cylinders)

It was trying but the timing was too far advanced so what, a pro like Nick couldn't tell that?
That motor was screaming it loud and clear with those starter kickbacks and carb pops.
After the battery was charged better it would have fired off if it wasn't for the timing being advanced too far.
