Nick builds some big, powerful cars. Cars that do some incredible things. And some days, he has to light things up and make a little noise to be sure everything is working.

[@stevensampson7738]

Doing a burnout with the line lock isn’t the thing to not try at home. It’s doing that burnout INTO Nicks Garage. My wife would kill me if I did a burnout into the garage. My humble suggestion, turn that roadrunner around and start from the other end of the shop so you can drive outside in the breaks don’t work perfectly. (But since Nick built it, it works perfectly!!)

[@ladeseddy5994]

Love the "heh-heh" when Nick was done with the burn out.........

[@don66hotrod94]

Exactly what my buddy used to do after fun times with his 74 440/6B Cuda.

[@garthruttig5455]

"Don't try this at home". Too late. Already tried it.

[@dschaub9535]

Nick to client: You need some new rear tires.

[@acts2211]

But but but but Nick the tires at 80% tread when I bought the car in what happened?

[@rodneybrand8521]

Hey Nick..my favorite year roadrunner and color..my brother bought one right after they came out..july of 69..his was the same color 383 4 speed bench seat..it was beautiful..two weeks later they shipped him off to vietnam.i was 14 years old..so every time it got dirty his wife would bring it over and i would clean it..wax it too..it always looked new when i finished..seeing this car brings back so many memories..thank you for showing this car..my brother made it back from vietnam..he was a Marine..see you on the next one ..Cheers 🍻🍻🍻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@bdubz5150]

Another excellent video you shared with us! Thanks. My favorite part of the video is when Nick is done with his burnout/line lock test, he goes "HEHEHE". I'm guessing the rear tires only lost about a 1/4" of circumference. My shop used to keep a set of worn down soft compound snow tires we'd throw on the cars for burnout tests, which coincidentally were also our stealth cheater drag tires...the soft compound gave excellent traction for summer street launches.

[@jeffjankiewicz5100]

That Road Runner is GORGEOUS! Nice burnouts Nick. Always a good time at Nick`s Garage. Thanks Nick.

[@easygoing2479]

So refreshing to check into Nick's latest video every week at least - my favorite KZbin channel, along with hickok45 and his firearms. Both so down to earth, with their 44 Magnums and 440 Magnums.

[@ricardobarrios4159]

The more videos I watch, more I want to buy a car without electronics. No sensors, no crazy emssion standards. Simple construction, simple to troubleshoot, simple to rebuild. And AMAZING sound.

[@NicksGarage]

Right on.

[@anteropaulino5151]

Outstanding !!! lol trying this at home in your garage you might end up in your kitchen or living room ! lol it's been 25 years since i had a car with line lock and a big block and i can still hear the rumble and smell the fumes ! ahhhhhh... the good old days . :)

It's nice to know that I'm not the only professional moron out there. Nick even has the evil chuckle down. Thanks for another fun episode!

Nick , Arizona is calling. Low 70s everyday and car shows every Saturday.

[@Mr.Mopar.23-7]

On a car without an electric pump "original show car" I use a 50cc syringe and add fuel through the carburetor float bowl vents. Starts right up. Burnouts are awesome. Makes grown men smile and laugh every time. 😆

[@ThePaulv12]

Yeah I use a small funnel and a length of vac tube and connect it to the bowl vents. This technique can start cars that haven't run for years.

[@inmate666]

I use a 90 wt quart sized oil jug with the pointed nozzle on it to fill the carb through the vent.

[@rickyb2200]

I like the way you installed the line-lock . Nice Job Nick.

I like how Nick set up that line lock that's pretty sweet ! I set my 53 Chevy fuel pump up the same way it's mechanical but I put electronic fuel pump in the tank click on a few seconds roll the car over fires right up otherwise it's a role until it's dead beast .I like how Nick showed that little trick! Two little hidden secrets one video how could you not watch these videos!

That is a beautiful 70 Road Runner. Wish I still had my 70 GTX with 440 auto with air grabber. Unfortunately I ended up scrapping it around 1975. It was so eatin up with rust and at the time I didn't have the resources to save it. I did save the engine and rebuilt it and put a six pack on it for my 73 Road Runner. I also saved the air grabber hood but have long forgotten what happened to it.

Giasou Nikola, Is it just me or did the planet just spin a little faster with the Hemi doing a burnout. Fantastic to see you haven't lost your hooning skills, you still got it. Today I am pulling my Valiant out of the restoration shop after 3 odd years & your stickers are on the rear side glass both sides. Roadrunner horn is on, bumblebee strips are on, Mr Norm number plate surrounds are on, so later today off to get a few last minute touch up at the paint shop. Definitely going to drive my Samantha with a Nick's Garage cap. You can keep the snow, thst looks cold very cold to say the least, 31 degrees today in Melbourne. All the best at work , coffee, mum's galatoboriko & Nick's Garage doesn't get much better than that. Your number 1 Fan in Australia Louis Kats from Melbourne Australia ☺ 👍

[@NicksGarage]

Nicks customers wouldn’t have it any other way.

[@grabir01]

Ok.. What I have learned is that putting an electric fuel pump near the tank to push fuel to the carbs is not the best way to go. It is the only way to go!! For any motor that makes power and uses a carb, this is a must. Not just to prime carbs but to prevent vapor lock with all of today's gas which has a low specific gravity and boils at such low temps. Take it from what I learned working with carbs and high performance big blocks. This is a must!! Also.. I learned to install electric fan or fans to run for 5-10 mins or so after you shut the car off. This prevents heat soaking of the carb so when you come back to the car, it will start right away with no crank and crank and crank until you fill the carb again with fuel. I have been through this so many times with some small blocks and mostly big blocks. Depends on the environment. I have had some Big block cars that run fine until an hour or so, or maybe pulling mountain climbs, the engine will simply lay down. Yikes!! What is wrong? Fuel is boiling in the carb and line in the engine bay. Solution? Let the car cool for an hour or so.. Or install a pusher electric fuel pump. If you have a return line, even better. On the return, put a valve cap with a small hole drilled into it on the return line to regulate return fuel. Use an electric pump designed for carbs as you do not want pressure, only volume. More than a few pounds of pressure can blow right past some carb seats and flood engines with fuel. If you have a return to tank line, position the return as close to carb as you can. Put the electric pump a close to tank as you can as they push better than they suck. Enjoy the ride. :)
