GM 572ci BIG BLOCK 5 SPEED 1970 NOVA GETS A TUNE & RIPS THROUGH THE GEARS!

I’ve been working on this beautiful Orange 1970 Nova off and on for a few months, ever since Billy swapped the stock 10 bolt for a STRANGE 9” with 3.50 gears, and pulled the M20 4 speed and replaced it with a TREMEC TKX 5 Speed.
Unfortunately someone had gotten into the carburetor and kinda messed it up. And despite what some think, 🤣 I don’t HAVE to just replace every Carburetor I come across with a brand new ATM.
Believe it or not haters… I can actually tune engines well enough to correct issues I didn’t cause to begin with 🫡
BUT, can I actually DRIVE IT? 572 CUBIC INCHES, 5 SPEEDS, and a 50 year old washed up Ditch Digger… what could possibly go wrong?! 🤣
PLUS!!! Vicki drags me to COSI to visit the Titanic Exhibit and we got tossed out of the parking garage, and almost tossed from the exhibits themselves. 🥴

[@braxxtonn]

Was going to bed. But how could I not watch the old man banging gears in a big block !!

[@mikemontgomery7337]

We need to start a go fund me so Billy can afford a hair cut !!!😂

Very clean Nova. Nice car

[@billwilliams2242]

Bill, take the ticket! Lol We're too long, that's what she said! Lol. Dad jokes! The Titanic exhibit looks very cool. The big block sounds mean Bill.

Bill, you are a genius when it comes to those carburetors. Don’t let anyone else tell you different the people who are saying that probably have never done it before. Keep up the good work man.

[@garyclarke2385]

I'm with you and the old man on this, a screwdriver and a carburetor work's fine especially if you have the ear and knowledge that Bill has .. Bills probably forgotten more about carburetors than most people know...🙏🇺🇲🇺🇲OMG🇮🇪🇮🇪🙏

[@billyray8062]

The carburetor professor does it again, great job Bill.

[@johnsheetz6639]

Growing up on 70s economy cars. A manual was very important. Automatics were just no fun, so stick shifts were very important. They have a special place in my heart.

[@gibhamracing37]

Didn't realize he decided not to hook up the Dyno. 😢. Was looking forward to it being in the shop

[@kiotewolfer3278]

They're going with a different style dyno I believe. This one would take up to much space

[@gibhamracing37]

@@kiotewolfer3278 oh good. I must've missed that

[@HaywardRacing]

Awesome video! I love ripping stick shift cars, there is just something about rowing through gears that gets me through my troubles.

[@jasonbose3507]

I LOVE 💕 HOW THE OLD MAN IS FUNNY AND ROMANTIC! He's a good husband and Father that really cares about their happiness 😊. Great job! Anyway, thanks for the video 📸.

[@TexasDragRacingVideo]

Well, Well, Well….ha! Said that at a car show this weekend and a guy right away asked me if I watched the Old Man Garage? Said hell yeah I do. Bill’s taught me everything I need to know in life. Keep on keepin’ on Sir. Don’t sweat the haters. They are not worth your time.

[@scottkeeton]

Your night shift gang is up and ready for a kick ass video.

[@andrewslagle1974]

Mr BILL you do the best videos .Your narration makes them .Thank you for sharing a snapshot of your life with us.My father and uncles drag raced in the 60s throught the 80s now i want to get back into it.I wish they were still around for there guidance .I am a professional mechanic by trade but there expertise like yours with drag racing is so important. Technology with this sport has changed since thoes days and to be honest i am lost !

[@scottburrow8717]

Banging gears in that big block Nova was great to watch. Nice video Mr Bill

[@KeepGrindingGarage]

Laughter and education, just can't beat that. Bill just being Bill and that's just who is in person as well. What you see is what you get, love it brother. Great video man.

[@CCRider5312]

MY FAVORITE GARAGE CHANNEL! 😁👍🏼

[@jonathanhanners6057]

The man of the carburetors is the old man for sure he knows how to tune them and make them run and I think when the Monte Carlo gets done with the turbos the old man is going to surprise everybody on it and show them that the old man still has what it takes to keep up with the young guys with fuel injection stuff. I can’t wait to see the old man banging gears in the Monte Carlo with twin turbos with an atm blow through carburetor on it

[@davidblain2714]

Bill- Good catch on the bent linkage! Lockin in at 38' changed the sound and can hear it thru the shifts!

[@Windemtight]

That's one nice Nova . Love to watch your videos but when the music at the end starts .... bummer it's over already. Thanks Bill

[@swift__]

The 3 wealthiest men in the country (who all said no to world banking ) were on the titanic the night it sank…. And basically 48hrs after it sank things were in motion to start world banks👀. 🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@WNCworks]

It's hard to beat a big block Nova with a manual transmission for a fun street car. Love that thing! I had a 69 Chevelle with a 427 big block 4 speed in high school, and I have a lot of great memories with that car. Good video, brother!

[@KarKamp]

I installed the sealing in the Titanic museum thing that’s parked on the strip in Branson, Mo.

I think it is hilarious the ad at the beginning of this video was for dentures 😝

Bill your advancements at Vicki are resembles the ones i have tried on my wife and they literally have gotten me the same response lol.

My night just got 20 minutes longer lol. I keep commenting on the kids channel and telling them they need to do more just normal around the garage vids. These always remind me of growing up in the garage with my dad working on his built S10 and Chevelle’s and always tearing my dirtbikes down rebuilding them ect.

[@crippleKW]

You make Tony look like an amateur banging those gears. 😂😂

[@MODOORTEK]

Hey Bill, I had the same problem happen to my Vortec 350, turns out the distributer cap needs to be vented. I switched to this cap and It has worked 5 years now! Hope this helps brother UNITED MOTOR PRODUCTS DCR820X Includes Rotor; Blue Brass, Premium Quality Info One of our most popular parts Kit w/Brass Contacts and Vent

[@MODOORTEK]

Mine wouldn't start when it rained either. I replaced the cap with an ACDelco and ran but as soon as it rained, it wouldn't start when it was really wet out. I went on rock auto and thought what the heck ill try it... and it worked. Hope this works for you in your situation.

Sorry Bill but it never hit an iceberg, it was damaged by hitting an British sea vessel, it also wasn't the Titanic that sunk, but its sister ship that was damaged so bad they said it couldn't be fixed, by the way it had the same caption on the ship as the one that damaged it, they doomed him to death

Don`t know much about this "Locking the distributor out" business. If a guy has a stock 1990's SBC with an Edelbrock intake and a 650cfm carb as a weekend street cruiser...What would happen if he locks the distributor out? Would a guy see a difference, or should it be left alone?

[@stevebauer7162]

Good thing Chevy has strong seat back brackets or Bill would have been in the back seat 😅. No but really nice job on my dream car. Pretty much any vintage muscle car is at this point.😢. God bless folks. THE REAL STEVE 💯 OG

[@carl5536]

We used to be a food source for those big ol skeleton remains thing's and I'm guessing they were pretty sneaky while being on the hunt..I watched Titanic several times, purty durn good movie and I use to have the DVD..I can only imagine what it'd be like to watch it on a big screen tv instead the older box tvs..I still have 1 and I still watch the thing every now and then..I used to love tinkering with carburators and all the things it takes to get peak performance and I use the want to yank the gear shifter out of the floor cause I use to love grabbing cogs instead of awful matics doin all the work for me..After building a 66 Belvedere with a 727 trans with 4.11 gears and a shift kit in the trans wasn't no missing 3rd gear anymore and it spoiled me but I still love yankn cogs with a 4 or 5 speed stick. Backwards to the shift kit. I watched the guy do the transmission and it's crazy how he rerouted the fluid and all that..It makes me wonder who the first person was to figure that out cause when I'd click into another gear itd hit harder than any 4speed I've had..I got into Mopar for awhile but I'm back into Chevy's after I figured how much power these newer LS engines make..I still can't believe it although small block Chevy's and big blocks never hurt the wallet to bad and if I ever wanted a big or small block engine..I'd go on the hunt of worn-out looking campers and some of em was given to me to get em out of their yard lol..Big ol 454 or a 440 engine setn in em with very low miles and if I'd ever wanted a Chevy 350c.i engine I'd go on the hunt for a small Chevy camper that was trashed inside with a 350c.i 300hp 4bolt main engine. Do everything on a cheap budget and I ended up with 700 to 800hp easy especially buying new heads in the corner at Summit Racing..People that ordered stuff and didn't come to get it, sometimes you can hit jackpot and buy the whole corner full of stuff cheap like 50% to 75% off the regular price...My daughter lives like a mile from Summit Racing in Tallmadge Ohio and that's my info with parts and yes they will overnight discount parts..My first time going into the store. It blew my mind how well stocked they were..Heads camshafts and everything on the shelves. I think you could build a complete car, if they'd let you and drive the dagon thing outa the parking lot and roll..They have everything and it blew my mind. Headlights taillights body's frames, everything lol...What's even more amazing is Summit County Ohio was Summit Racings first of 6 or 8 stores nationwide...I'm pretty sure they can get anything you'd want or need..Love the SRC Channel and yalls youngns are doin exactly what me and my brother did...We were constantly building something for drag racing and it bugs me where I'm living now. .People don't know anything about building horsepower cause they think a 4barrel intake with dual exhaust and a hoodscoop is all they need..They know nothing about camshafts, spray and all that..I have managed to take several car's with a 4cylinder Pontiac Grand Am 2.2 ecotec 4cylinder engine and I reckon I'm just outdriving em here in Wva in a small town of people that just don't get it lol..I could've taken a couple Chargers and Challengers with car's I've won but they wasn't paid for so I'd make em throw cash in the pot and take it..Enough of my rambling, I'm just into the sport that I started doing in the 70s into the early 80s..I don't remember why I quit racing, maybe I's to interested in raising my bbgrl that's in Tallmadge Ohio doin great, I hope cause she wouldn't tell me if she wasn't doing well..Nah, she'll tell me cause she's always been straight up with me..That's a bad ol Nova and I know I'm fixing to sound so silly but in the 70s a buddy of mine had a 68 or 69 Nova with a what we thought was a 250 straight 6cylinder engine with a 2speed power glide trans in it..His brother has a 66 or 67 Nova that got a vehicle smashed into the roof of the car cause the way some of the dirt roads and driveways are in Wva, you can honestly get your vehicle trashed by someone running down a dirt road onto the pavement and over the embankment into the roof of a car or truck..Anyhow, back to the 68 or 69 Nova..The only salvageable part on the 66 Nova street car was the rearend cause everything else was smashed badly..A 66 Plymouth Satellite Sport met the same fate..Anyway, we put the rearend and found a 4barrel intake for the 68 Nova with N50 Mohawk tires on the rear, that little 6banger would swell the tires up and outrun V8 engines that wasn't really built..Stock engines with what GM said had 325 to 375hp in a 327 engine..I was so amazed how well that 6cylinder red Nova ran..I'm thinking 13.26 seconds wasn't bad for a quarter mile run, so he said plus he showed me the E/T slip of paper from the track cause I had to work that weekend. Race night was any night up Armstrong Creek Rd where I was born and raised..They used to race under Montgomery Wva bridge on the weekends until the poleece started lining up with em and away they'd go but they always had the 4 lane blocked at the other end and people stood on the overpass and never warned anyone that the road was blocked with poleece lol..The audience just wanted to see races so we went waaaaay up in the coal holler I grew in and made our own straight 8th mile place to race..It was pavement but I didn't have any problems with it..Only thing I didn't like is when a sore loser tried putting me in the creek that was a good 60ft drop over the bank into the creek..One time was all it took..I thought, if ya wanna play bumper car's I'm game. .I gapped the guy and on the way back down the road I pushed him wide open down outa that holler cause everybody seen him trying to wreck me. .I'm pretty sure that I pushed him waaaaay over 100mph down the road until I thought he had enough and yes we fought but that was nothing unusual. .We never let him race anyone in our loop but I don't know if he ever tried to wreck anybody anymore cause it's not cool, especially at high speeds. .I didn't care if I won or lost cause I enjoyed doing it lol. .20 to 50 bucks is all we'd race for but after winning several races that was good money back in the 70s lol..I almost quit my job just to focus on racing until I started losing badly so I decided to stay employed and keep it thataway lol...

[@ShawnGilbert1967]

One of the few times im annoyed, i used to lock out timing on my BBC's too, but jesus if your buying all new stuff grab a MSD 2563 or similar programmable ignition.... I guess i missed the video why Billy is selling the Dyno... Great editing awesole video .....
