1958Belairjoe Newbie Posts 20	06-09-24 10:34 AM - Post#2870686 Good friend just bought beautiful restored 1955 Belair.Nice professional build to car . Delivered to his home on car hauler . Drove it off the car hauler , no concerns yet , drove car 4 miles around the block , brought it to his shop and decided ha had to do a burnout on the concrete .283 with 4 barrel , automatic trans three speed . After the burnout which was not really crazy , the engine sounds fine , starts right up , but he has to FLOOR it to get the car to move forward or backward . Fluid in trans red and clear anf full . This beauty was moving fine untill the burnout . Feels like the trans may be damaged or rear end ???How can this occur , I do not know , hope you do , So I did compression test on motor , great , fuel system is suppling all , took Holley 4 barrel apart and looks new . Ignition is tip top and ballast resistor is new , Pulls 20 inches of vacuum and sounds great. He thought it was the fuel / carb , etc , so I went through the basica and the timing and all to make him feel better about the tune .To get this car to even move you must FLOOR it , and it will slowly slowly get up to 50 mph on the road , but it is wide open and engine is getting quite hot , told him not to drive it till we get some answers from yall
