We all have our opinions, but does one manufacturer's car start better than another? While I have not read any studies, I'm going with Chevy.
Dad bought a like-new '39 Plymouth and about ten years later he bought a new '51 Dodge. Neither of them started well. Dad said IF he put in new plugs & points every fall they would start MOST days through the winter.
1961 Dad bought a new Chevy Impala, and it was a whole new world. That thing would start EVERY day, new plugs or old. So we became Chevy people overnight.
And while we've owned other brands over the years, Chevy remains king around here.
Back in '77-'82 I attended a university in SW Michigan. My brother & I always had a Chevy there. Come time for home leave & hoods would be up all over the parking lot, but our old Chevies would click right off.
Fast forward a few decades. My '88 Astro is probably the oldest ride in the parking lot by 15 years, and it'll out start 'em all. I've jump started the Principal's Toyota pickup, and the rich snob UWM graduates' new car that Daddy just bought for 'em.
I'm sure the '61 Chevy's twelve volt system was a plus, but I know our '51 DC CASE will click right off on six volts with just a couple revolutions.
....And the nine year old plugs, wires, cap, and rotor on my Astro van have over 136,000 miles on them.

What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
