[@rumblesspeedshop-inrustwet1061]

I know I’ve said this before but your GTO video’s inspired me to start working on my 70 tempest again and get it running. Now I daily drive it!!! I bought it when I was 19 I’ll be 31 next month and last summer was my first summer driving it. Keep making awesome videos!!

[@RamblinAround]

That's really cool man, I'm glad you got it going now. I'm going to post a new video on my '69 later tonight, I have it rendering right now. This one is quite a project.

[@rumblesspeedshop-inrustwet1061]

@@RamblinAround I have a hell of a header leak though. I went through JEGS and just got the house brand headers had to put all my own dents in them took me seven hours to put them in. I’m not looking forward to fixing it it at least it’s on the driver side lol

[@RamblinAround]

@@rumblesspeedshop-inrustwet1061 Yeah, headers are a real pain in the ass on these cars. I've had a couple different sets on my '68 and I had to torch and dent them both.

[@adama047]

That's running good, from out of the box, sounds a lot smoother. Thanks for keeping us updated, Jordan. Too much damn traffic, for a country road...

[@RamblinAround]

Thanks Adam, it seems great so far. We threw some new plugs in it when we got back. Now, we just need to do some performance testing with the Dragy and see how it stacks up.

[@russellhale7694]

Great catch up on the GTO - Over here in the UK the 'fifty shades' Camaro is running great, as it is still in primer we are thinking of painting it! - we replaced the water pump on our ''Mystery Machine' 78 Ford Econoline van (4.9 straight 6) and we have a new car in the garage, a 'modern' 2004 Chrysler Crossfire, which needed a little work but overall is in good condition - hopefully the weather will be getting better so we can get out more!

[@RamblinAround]

Glad your Camaro is running well. A friend of ours has one of those Crossfires, it's a fun little car. Thanks for watching, we appreciate it!

[@billmiller5075]

Sounds great Jordon, can’t wait to start assembling my 455 with a Butler stroker kit 474

[@kurtzimmerman1637]

that carburetor looks great and the car sounds even better! you guys know your stuff. take care!

[@scottbourret1190]

I know exactly how you feel about townies moving out to the country/subdivisions. I have a shit ton of people who ride their bikes out where I live. Fortunately I live on a township road and gave a large shepherd that doesn't like company either. So if they ride too slow he provides them with the motivation to move along quickly or to know not come down our road when he may be out.

[@RamblinAround]

We have a ton of cyclists that come out here in the summer as well. There is an apple farm down the road they like to go to and we have a ton of nice flat roads out here.

[@walasiewicz]

That thing sounds great. I just ordered the same FST today but a 750. Seen nothing but great reviews

[@sheachopper6416]

Man I love that cam.

[@RamblinAround]

Thanks man, I appreciate that!

[@doublel7337]

That FST carb seems to be a lot smoother than the others and probably the best looking carb on the market. Love the fact it is built in the USA ! It would be awesome to see a M-22 four speed in this GTO, it deserves one, besides I want to hear that whine when Jordan drives it. Good video, thank you for letting us go back several years to my youth :)

[@RamblinAround]

We're really impressed with this carb so far. Jordan tossed some new plugs in the Goat, so now we are ready to do some performance testing. We'll see how it stacks up. This car could definitely end up with a manual at some point. The '69 is keeping the Muncie for sure.

Very nicely done guys! Looks like you have nice smooth roads near you lol. Also I’m trying to figure out what cylinder heads I have on my Pontiac engine (block is from 73), the code I find say HZ37&HZ47. Can you help me please?

[@RamblinAround]

I wish I could help, but I'm not sure what those particular codes mean. If you can find some other codes, maybe we could figure it out. There should be a two digit code on the heads, right between the middle exhaust ports.

[@vincentconte6973]

They both say 1 5

[@not2fast4u2c]

Enjoyed riding along on the short road trip ..Small towns are starting to get too many city people moving in and kids that will steal anything ..We have had too many houses being broke into even in the daytime Plus having to hear the junk people drive now is way more irritating than a hot rod car

[@MattsRageFitGarage]

Does this carburetor have the vacuum choke pull off feature? a lot of the later Holley and quick fuel carburetors have not had that feature. I have a Quick fuel 780 4150 style and the choke works like crap without it. Really not sure what they were thinking removing that feature other than to be cheap. That carb looks like a runner.

[@brianlee6849]

4 speed is always cool but I'm thinking T400 / gear vendors overdrive * 4.1 would be super nice in this car. You'd have a little taller highway gear and deeper launch all at the same time the best of both worlds. Do you also have videos on your trans am? I'm really wanting a 70 to 73 TA. Thank you

Love seeing this car out again! What are your converter specs?

[@RamblinAround]

It's a pretty mild converter. It's a 10.75 inch converter with a rated stall of 2700 to 3000. It stalls on the high side because of the torque this thing makes and the gearing.

[@benkalinowski5834]

How many mpg you get with that

That's not something I've been concerned with, but I might check it with the new carb. I am a little curious what it gets.

[@maddmaxx636]

Jordan, Why are you always putting autos into things? Im mainly asking since autos are more difficult to get working. Since they are either vacuum or computer controlled.

[@jordan-ramblinaround2323]

I don't know about hard to set up, I bolted it up and ran one vac line to the intake. And the same reason Finnegan from roadkill goes through built tremec t56s like crazy. This being a drag car I wanted the auto for it's strength. Generally, nothing kills built th400's. My friend running a stick in his second gen broke so many times last season he barely got to go to events. A muncie or saginaw wouldn't live a good life behind this engine doing what I do with it. especially on nitrous. I am building the 1969 gto I picked up a few months ago around the 4 speed setup though, since it will have a more mild engine. It will have m22 gears, hurst competition plus shifter, and hurst ram rod linkage. I plan to do the ultimate 4 speed setup in it, since people seem so interested in it. But if I did it in all of my cars I'd be broke. Manuals strong enough to live drag racing are very expensive.

[@maddmaxx636]

@@jordan-ramblinaround2323 The only reason I asked was because you drive both drag and street. I also didnt know how much of a pain itd be to hook one up. Since on my 84 ranger with all of the original ignition stuff. You have to do some weird shit to get the auto shift right (driving) luckily, mine is/was/always will be a stick. Personally I dont like autos due to one dropping from 3rd to fist in the rain since the rear wheels slipped and lost traction.

@@tonijoo6150 stock driveshaft, factory replacement u joints, stock yokes, stock carrier with a mini spool, stock axles, new 3.36 gears, and a thick billet diff cover, with cap braces. Also did a set of nitro studs on the main bearing caps. The weak link of the bop 8.2 Is the soft iron case, they tear open at the yoke. If you can keep them from flexing, it won't do that as easily. So studs on the caps, with a girdled diff cover does more than about anything else you can do. I ran mine on 295 drag radials, 3200 stall, running low 11s with no issues. But some people don't get that lucky I'm sure. Depends on what you're doing. If you run street tires, I highly doubt it would ever break.
