[@JunkyardDigs]

Actually... you're right. You would get better mileage out of a 4bbl for the reasons you mentioned and (assuming you had the will power to stay out of the gas... somehow) a 4bbl has smaller primary barrels than a 2bbl only 2 barrles, therefor using less gas, until the secondaries are opened under load at which point the 4bbl is then using more fuel.... but who cares because horsepower.

[@cropduster6059]

Legendary comment 🙌

[@HarryParentII]

The primaries are only smaller on a spread bore carb such as a Thermoquad . The reason that mileage increases with the 4 barrel is that the plenum beneath the carb is quite a bit larger allowing for better atomization of the fuel.

[@hammburgerman4633]

“Who cares because horsepower” is now my favorite quote

[@willrikersbeard]

This is the crossover we still need

[@rucarnuts13]

I love the owner's approach to dailying a classic, because so many people unnecessarily baby cars like this. "Look, people drove these Belvederes in the winter back in the day..." so he dailys it. I dig it.

[@BleedingEdgeOfProgress]

I love the poster's approach to furrying a classic, because so many people just think of it as a classic newspaper cartoon instead of something yifffy.

[@rucarnuts13]

Jazz Thread - What the fuck are you talking about?? :/

[@lsswappedcessna]

tbh I've considered putting Holley Sniper EFI and high energy ignition (OK so HEI has been a plan for some time now. The car won't start right now, possibly due to the condenser/points, idk, it coughs a bit but doesn't start and continue running, if it IS that, I'll see if my dad knows were to get an HEI converter and I'll just borrow my mom's car until I can get my guy to install the ignition chip) on my '66 Olds, because cold starts can be an absolute pain in the ass, and because Sniper is throttle body injected. No fuel rails, self tuning ECU that's incorporated into the throttle body, inline electric fuel pump, none of that shit that's unnecessarily difficult to access. It's also performance oriented ETBFI, and I've been debating having some performance upgrades (like cams, stronger rods, etc) when I can afford them. Possibly a full numbers matching performance rebuild for the engine and tranny (the old 2-speed Jetaway is pretty sluggish) so I can smoke some lower end sports cars. maybe even a straightpipe? (EDIT: don't get me wrong, I still like carburetion, but for a daily driver, performance throttle body EFI, which is essentially electronic carburetion compared to modern EFI, just seems more reliable at this point. At one time, I woulda said Carburetion was more reliable, but now I think they're evenly matched. both good in certain situations. A fun car would do great with carburetion, because you wouldn't need it to start reliably every single day. A restomod vintage car with its own fair share of OEM quality and aftermarket performance could make for a good, reliable, and zippy daily driver.)

[@rucarnuts13]

The KZbin Phantom Official - That would be pretty rad.

[@lsswappedcessna]

Oh it would be totally rad! I'm just a bit strapped for cash at the moment, and the whole setup would cost a good maybe 5 grand. QQ if you know, I'd appreciate the help, does Sniper EFI support mechanical fuel pumps? I don't mind the idea of an electrical fuel pump, but I've read about the criteria for placement and wiring, and it seems to be a real pain in the ass.

[@AutoAgitator]

The speech from 6:56 is worth some applause.

[@RJT80]

AutoAgitator I think those of us that are old enough to remember the last gasps of a time period where things were special, have every right to look back at those times and wonder where we are going. I remember that I needed to get dressed up to go out to dinner. I remember women in white gloves and men in hats. I remember my mother when my father got home with their first new car and she didn't think it was nice enough to take out on special nights. And we were thoroughly middle class, if that. It is in fact that class of people that used to try and strive to feel and make things feel special. Flying was still special. A trip to the store was special. That period and then very end of that period that I got to experience gave birth to the greatest uplift of human beings in human history until the Chinese would copy it. The people who crave simpler times are no more ridiculous than those who point out their flaws. A middle class person today has more economic freedom than Rockefeller but that doesn't mean our modern lives are more fulfilling. They simply aren't. And the current state of sex panic is a direct result of of the shift from when "no" was the default answer to where "yes" is the default answer and you have to explain why it might be a "no." Many people no longer know how to say "no" often believing it to be too difficult and then regret it later and/or see themselves as a victim needing their pound of flesh. We have lost the native intelligence we once had. We clearly cannot handle the complexities we have forced upon ourselves. Those simpler times might have been out best days.

[@AutoAgitator]

It's not about which times were better. The idea is that human beings have a tendency to remember only the good things to help them survive.

That's correct, I can't believe you knew about the 383 RB block of 1959 and 1960. 💯. Good job.

[@salpairadice]

Our family car growing up was this model, 1966. Learned to drive on it, it was a solid but primitive car. You never felt special or comfortable on a long trip. It was cheap inside, the interior was paper thin (although not as shoddy as say a Fox Mustang) and you could hear the tires and transmission and everything working. No sound insulation in these cars, they were tin boxes. Took about 12 seconds 0-60 with a 318 , handled like a wheel barrow and the transmission had a manual downshift linkage so if you went 80 and you floored it, the car would downshift to second. It did have a nice looking steering wheel and dash and some cool chrome switches. By the time I drove it, it was the early 1980's and it was a poor person's family car with rust holes.We were poor and we felt Tom Joad poor when we were riding in our 1966 Belvedere, although it never let us down. It was the car for a family that could never go on vacation. Eventually my dad just sold it to get a slightly nicer car around 1984. I still love to see these cars, but they take me back to a bad, sad time.

The 60's and 70's were as good as people remember them to be, if you weren't there it's not something that can really be explained to you. Even the people that were getting their ass beat in Selma or Chicago feel nostalgic for those times. Those years were so much the same as every ones else that was living formative years had been. Those years were linked to their own past by familiarity and sameness. Consumer digital products have torn us away from that era as much as the pilgrims had been torn away from the the stone age, but in a much, much shorter time. Nostalgia is the pain of old wounds remembered fondly. A new species has been created now, not just a new era or generation. That is what people of the 60's and 70's are really nostalgic about, the old model of person.

[@StrongEnough78]

In regards to your thoughts about a 2bbl carb vs a 4bbl carb, this is why Rochester came out with the spread bore Quadrajet and a few years later Carter came out with the spread bore ThermoQuad. The primary barrels were much smaller to aide with good throttle response and better fuel economy even better than a standard 2 bbl carb when cruising. Then when power was needed, the much larger secondary barrels would open. So in a way you were on track with your thoughts about a 2bbl vs a 4bbl.

Here here! There's an attitude firmly embedded in the criticism of the values this car embodies that takes a view of history that is at odds with the facts. Those "protestors" were just like modern antifa, thugs. And by protesting the "Facist" Lyndon Johnson, the man who rammed the civil rights act through Congress, the man who, history has shown, was actively TRYING to end the war in Vietnam, they threw the election to... Richard Nixon, who would keep the war going for another 5 years... It was the same generation as those protesters (boomers) who would undo their parent's efforts to racially integrate American society, and raise fatherless children with a host of mental problems. So yeah, in hindsight, the values of the 1960's Fathers look pretty damn good in comparison.

And when they split up they tried to use us as pawns in a stupid fucking game between eachother because we actually wanted to have a relationship with both our parents and not just see one and shut the other out like they wanted. And ill say ultimately i never really learned to be a man probably never really will and at this point i dont really give a shit. My buddy and i make enough working shit store jobs to rent a not terrible not great place to live with enough left over to keep cheap food in our fridge 87 gas in our tanks so long as we dont floor it very often with enough left over for beer, dope or saving a bit in case we need it in an emergency depending on what we feel like doing with our non rent portion of what we make and fuck it at least were self sustaining and dont take any handouts theres no point in my mind in putting any more effort in beyone not living on others backs while society circles the toilet anyway. The only thing i care about putting any real effort into is keeping my car nice and hopefully saving for a manual swap.

Let me know the next time you’re out in SoCal and if you want to drive a ‘64 Cutlass with an LS swap but stock suspension snd brakes. Hahaha

You'll have to submit your car to the RCR eMail if you want that to happen: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHfck5Whi6x2d6c

[@jimdieseldawg3435]

PLEASE get that offside front wheelbearing sorted and made safe! Maybe the rim is also buckled but...sheesh. Mighty cool car though

[@Drew-yk9ib]

Archaic? Far too long? Because the kind of family societal disintegration these days is so much better with 40% of children born out of wedlock. GMAFB.

[@crabyman3555]

loads of kids were born out of wedlock back then too, its just that they were hidden from sight and general population didnt know about them or ignored it because it didnt suit their beliefs. It still happened and it happened a lot , pretending it didnt and that the past was more ''respectable'' in this regard is very naive and condescending

This video needs more B-R-O-W-N

[@Meton12765]

I hope you'v noticed from the footage that the right front tire of that Belvedere is wobbling dangerously. The owner should have his front right wheel bearings replaced and probably do a proper inspection and replace all the consumables as well on the whole frontend wheel and steering assemblies. Blox do call the guy...

[@Pilot_Pirx]

Great review, leading up to kind of weird last sentence. Yes, both people and machines can mean different things and 'reinvent themselves', but in the case of cars that's only because anything that we associate with them, any image that we impose on them is our own - it represents our biases, hopes, dreams, fears and past experiences - we made them and they can change at any time - just as we can. The car is a somewhat-blank slate that we fill with meaning. But people reinventing themselves is something different altogether. We don't change just because the way the world sees us has changed. We do it with hard work, and becoming of age, and educating ourselves and hundred other things. And that's how I would tie that in with cars - the idea and aura surrounding them can be subject to change, but the machines are unchanging. We can change around them, along with the way we see them. Or is that just what you meant?

[@nakoma5]

You seem to have come round circle back to his original meaning. xD

[@Pilot_Pirx]

Yeah, I noticed that too, that's what my question at the end is about. ;P While writing I decided I wasn't actually sure what he meant so I put it there.

[@user-lk2vo8fo2q]

no, i'm with you. i thought the last sentence was kind of a weird way to get that point across.

[@mastersoftoday]

i think that's a reference to the ending of Terminator 2. at least that's what im choosing to think it is

[@joeseeking3572]

In 1000+ comments below someone's surely pointed out many, many of these had the 225 six. Even many of the full size Furys had the 6 standard.

[@jessemulock1163]

The 60s were strange. I've got a 65 Chevelle SS. The SS was purely a trim package, no "sport" anything. It came factory with a straight 6. Packages weren't really things yet, you had options. Pages and pages of options, so every car was fairly unique, but no, "oh you want the sport option? Well then you get the big motor, brakes, and some fancy trims." No, you want sport? How big of a V8 do you want? You can still have EVERYTHING else baseline. I imagine that's why this car was a "2" trim, not performance

[@stephen3164]

2bbl vs 4bbl in power and fuel economy: ok, assume with a 4bbl swap you also are swapping out the intake manifold to a square bore 4bbl pattern. A 4bbl carb will likely be “larger” (say 650 cfm vs 500 cfm of two barrel), but as long as you stay out of the secondaries, you are running maybe 400cfm. The 4bbl gives you economy when cruising but power on demand when you need it. That said, if you had to flog this car to get it moving, a 4bbl carb wouldn’t help as you’d constantly be on the secondaries and just sucking down more gas. Engines of this age are just seriously down on power though due to wear. Its not really fair to judge how a car was 50 years ago by how it is today.

[@gzuzsavz]

agreed. id check cylinder pressure in this thing. but it could just be a tweaked set of points away from being more spritely and delivering better mpg. + what's the rear gear ratio? ppl not so rarely ordered crazy gears even in an otherwise pedestrian car..4.10's & stuff, lol. may explain why it's quick, then plateaus. like she's floating the valves..or running out of breath, bc mild engine. but 110 mph is a bit of a stretch with a well worn 273. Hmm. so may questions!! lmbo. id drop a 360 in it. 90 cube jump, same weight, probs same mpg if a stock ish build & add like 100 hp, too with a 340 cam.

[@Suzuk1r1der]

Belvedere's are fantastic automobiles i would daily drive one for sure

Will we see a Mr. Regular self analysis? Let's see, all people before your time were misguided and not too bright. Then there are the bros, the frat boys, the hipsters, the cocaine snorting Wall Street types, poor people, working class people...did I miss any of your stereotypes? I've been binge watching your channel.

[@RoobehTunes]

BlueHaze7024 Everyone's misguided because they're individuals in a network. A person can't be a perfectly rounded individual when they have to specialise to their spacial and social surroundings. Mr regular didn't get where he is now by being balanced. He apparently spent many years as an outsider in his hometown. Some outsiders think they're balanced as an observer figure but that's just not true.

His videos are modernist, I think he did a thinly veiled car review where he explained his videos.

[@frigglebiscuit7484]

beating your wife and money grabbing wars were great too, huh...

[@suspicioususer]

Wtf having a wife and family doesn't somehow automatically mean you beat your wife. Where did you get that from?

[@P7777-u7r]

Frigglebiscuit Not everyone was beating their wife

[@P7777-u7r]

Its not even just the mothers fault though. A big problem is that parents think their needs and well being should come before that of their kids. In my opinion when you make the choice to have kids the well being of your kids and that includes mentally absolutely should come before any of your own wants/needs if not dont have kids. Far too many kids are ending up fucked up these days from being raised poorly and in broken homes including myself. Hell the only reason im still here is because i happened to grab a dud piece of ammunition and that wierd chance of fate gave me the idea to at least attempt to try and carry on but my future is bleak and worthless at best

I had that exact car....with a 318 and power steering, drove it from 1978-1983. Good power and handling, always wanted a GTX, though! BTW, was available with the 225 six.
