Seems pretty smooth for an old girl

Nice work, good video and some good info! Keep up the good work bro!

Good work man!

Pretty cool 😎

Yeah we I was young I had a 1975❤

That is one sweet mower and i want it❤❤👍

It's quite common for those power valves to fail ,,, causing idle to be too rich , and under load to be too lean ....Replace the power valves and then re-jet the carbs ....

Thanks im so glad I found this my father-in-law and I just started a rat rod tractor biuld for my 6 y son I need all this and more

The second shifter for the Peerless??? That 2 spd ??

Yes, logically you would think as things wear that you would have excessive clearance, but if the wear is occurring on the valve face and valve seat, the valve sinks into the head and the clearance may not be enough, resulting in low compression and or misfire. Pro tip. Next time, remove the individual feeler gauges that you need from the set so you’re only holding the one you need in your hand. You’ll get a much better “feel” of what you’re measuring. Far more accurate.

Learn it break it in put some heat in the motor. Let every thing seed in right 👍

Yes sir you've brought a relic back to life very cool.

My 2002 Sprinter sounds the same at startup. After running, idle smooths out. All new injectors. Does not smoke. But I think I might have some bad rings in a piston.

Why would you show us that engine running like trash why don't you show it to us when it runs right

Just wanted to say I like your videos, but yeah need to keep the talking points to a limit! It’s good info but want to see more results! Keep up the good work!

That mother got a motor in it😮

Your dad would be proud 😎👍✌️

Wow. Brings back memories. In 2008 I bought two four-door 85 model Diesel Turbo Mercedes play the guy 1400 for them brought them home use the red one for every day driving put it on cooking oil ran beautiful for about 6 years. Finding some parts were kind of hard

Bought a 79 Arizona camaro in 1996. 100% rust free. Loved it since I lived in MN. Was a flexy sled though.

I tell you what, it's got some good chop to it. It sounds great, an absolute perfect place to start from. I can see this car being even greater than it is already... never give up bro, never .

Hey bro, I subbed. This is the channels I really like. Old school street pounders.. sry for your loss. R. I . H. Pops🙏

I will say you're lucky you have the clearance there buddy.

Just found you and subscribed. Your dad would be proud!! Love the old school tunnel ram and carbs! I would build the same. I would play with the setup you have. Get mufflers and maybe close in the floor. Make separation from trunk area. Make street legal and go from there. Love it!!

Great car. I own a 97 E320. 151,000 miles.

TURN THE TIMING TO 27 WITH DISCONECT VACUUM ADVANCE. ❤ .YOU DID GOOD AND WAIT TILL YOU DUE AND I HAVE 750×2 HOLLYS MECHANICAL SECOND S AND SBC ...WITH A 3/4 CAM AND THAT TYPE OF INTAKE ITS LEAN 1 1/2 OR 21/4 TURN THOUSE SCREWS OUT 3 COMPLETE TURNS FROM ALL THE WAY DOWN. WITH IT RUNNING AND DONT BE AFRAID GOD MAD YOU NOW YOUR DAD BUIT A CAR YOUR THE TUNNER ITS NOT BUIT BUY GOD SO IT CAN'T DIE LIKE ME AND YOU HAVE NO FEAR WALK ALL OVER IT DUE WHAT EVER YOU WANT...I GOT 11.1 BAGER RACING PISTONS 76CC HEADS NEW WITH NEW EVER THING ROLLER TIP ROCKERS AND NOT EVEN 202 VALVES I.

Cool video, Awesome Race Car.

😢😮

JUNK!

That sounds almost exactly like a 7.3 power stroke

27:02 That’s a metering plate. Holley got cheap, so instead of using a metering block they used a plate. The front only has main jets. Holley doesn’t have pilot jets whatever they are. I’m e never heard that name before. Use a scuare robertson screwdriver to remove the rear metering plate if the gaskets need replacing. There are different size robertson bit heads, so it’s best to just get a screwdriver that has all the bits included with the magnetic tip. Buy the blue Holley gaskets, they can be reused and do not stick like the cork gaskets from yesteryear. Also check the body of the carb where the metering block mounts for warping with a straight edge. And the base plate and the bottom of the body. I spent 5 hrs filing my 780 Holley that was leaking internally. Now the engine runs great. Once you start filing you will see the low spots.

that thing looks badass even just coming down the driveway. it has a presence in the vein of "hear me, I am arriving!"

Most cars that run tunnel rams use and are set up with 600 vacuum secondaries that's not unusual the jets will be more tunable if you put a left and right bung into the exhaust after the collectors install oxygen sensors and a gauge so you can get your fuel air ratio correct when driving it under load once you can get on the road , road worthy. Get timing light on it so you can see if it's making full in timing of around 33°, 34° at 2800 -3000 rpm. Also your running your carbs of over 240 jets when you combine the primaries. Like on my big block I run 144 total on just the primaries. So you are real rich but those tunnels demand it especially like that high RPM they want to live up there but you have to Rev them a lot to keep them from pooling fuel they don't like low RPM on street if there not cleared out they have a tendency to fuel bog, cut out, hesitate from fouling.

Awesome brother. Your Dad is smiling down on you.

What a KOOL Camaro

Gyten abent a wasmaxansigy😊❤🎉

Very nice. Very nice.

shits and gets

Badass

In my younger years I built many cars. Unfortunatly that stopped when I married my ex wife now. I allowed her to control my time and my money. Anyways I never used a timing light. For some reason I was able to time cars better by ear then I could with a timing light. Back in the 1990's my ex had a 1978 Ford Granada 2 door with a 351 Windsor V8 engine. I drove that car a couple times and I asked my ex who worked on this car. Well she had a well known shop doing all her work. For a 351 Windsor it had no power and really hard on fuel. Well I timed that car by ear. All of a sudden that car woke up, had all sorts of power and was getting close to 35 mpg on the highway. My ex was completely shocked at how it ran just with me timing it by ear. If you build or work on enough vehicles I guess you can hear how it runs and make corrections from there.Whether it is timing or making carb corrections.

Old school iron heads like 36 up to 40. Really. Compression above 10.1 pull out a few degrees. We ran 20 initial and had 16 of mechanical advance. Also sometimes locked out- no advance curve. 40 years of experience ( race cars, hotrods and family run machine shop)EDIT- 12 degrees is to low for initial timing. Also it won't have enough total timing. You need a dial type or digital timing light. Congrats on diving in and going for it. Very very cool.

man i am glad you got to drive this thing

Hey bud your gonna need some wheel tubs.find a steel drum and cut it in half and weld em in.or else them wheels will be kicking stuff into the cab good luck.peace...

This is definitelty an underated channel!!!

Looks like you my not live long enough to finish it!🎉😂

damn it son i miss my 81 z-28 T-Top 4 speed camaro. i bought it for 500$ an found out it had a 58 283 out of a fuely vette, the cam it had was insane it didnt like town driving what so ever lol

Idk man I don't think the video was boring I like hearing stories about cars that people acquired and the backgrounds about them and how they got into cars like the Channel I got into small engines recently because my interest in chainsaws so the lawn mower videos were pretty cool but I like the other videos to

That thing just starts when you touch the key, and it doesn’t smoke a lot like all the 3208 cats around here. Badass truck man. I had a 91 Kodiak with a 3116 cat and 6 speed. I couldn’t register it under cdl so had to sell it. But I will find a ford similar to yours eventually!
