Independence Chevelle - Holley Sniper EFI and MSD Ignition Installation on Big Block Chevy

[@MrDondono]

I am an older guy and it is so nice to be able to listen to dialogue on a video that does NOT have every other word a curse word. I just subscribed to your channel a week or two ago and have been having a great time going through your old shows from the beginning. You do a great job and it is very much appreciated.

[@martinkristensen512]

Or as all of the youngster youtubers: screaming like they are getting beat down. Damn thats annoying

[@donellmuniz590]

I agree. I'm fairly salty myself, and I use cuss words sparingly, for emphasis. But I went to Zip Ties and Bias Plies once for about 3 minutes. Every other word began with either an F or a C. That's not colorful or emphatic, that's just stupid and illiterate.

VG, the 57 210 4 door in your intro video, Canyon Coral/ Indian ivory car. I had one with factory 283 4 barrel carb, 3 speed on the tree with Overdrive in the Dash ,charcoal and ivory was original interior, the car had OLD body damage/ancient repairs to RR quarter panel, I sold the car in early 90’s . Would be interesting to see if that could be our old car.. car was in Arizona until I rescued her from the desert,to bring her to the Rust belt... LOL..

[@officialgearhead6736]

Thank you for pounding out the video even with feeling like crap. You can hear that you don’t feel well.

[@BlackSunshine666]

A guy from Europe is just glad that VGG reminds him that cars are fun, passion and hobby, and there is no need to be stressed about doing some wrenching yourself, because it's fun and it doesn’t have to be perfect, just safe. Most importantly a guy is grateful that VGG has shown him how to be chill about things, and I ani't kiddin ya, he used to be stressed a lot.

[@kennethdonaldson3087]

i thought i was a laid back guy but i was much more stressed out for him than he was no brakes driving i only did one time and i still had the emergency brake in the vw beetle easy stuff the 3 inch pin behind the brake pedal snapped it was to the floor 100 feet from a 4 way stoplight at 159th and rt45 i was 17years old quick reflexes even moved my girlfriend from in the way next to me im not sure my reflexes could do all the stuff i did in seconds

I spent the first month of the pandemic last year going through every inch of wire in my 92 Chevy 1500 tibby. Then added another 70 feet or so with all sorts of digical toys and enhancements. Then I dialed in the EFI tune and I still like to fiddle with it. A guy can make himself multiple tunes for different conditions. Cold weather richer warm weather leaner (that whole air density vs temperature thing), a tune for towing, one for the valet, no EFI will magic your timing tables for you so much (yet) and that’s fun tickling out the last she’s got.
