Traditional Ford Hot Rod Carburetor Trials Stromberg VS Holley
I get knee deep in carburetors..... my arch enemy! seriously though, I am learning alot about these little things and I think it shows. I cant wait for another nice day where I can test out the latest carburetor tuning on the streets!

[@60chevyjim]

Happy birthday Travis , cool ride today glad it mt back home too. it sounds great now !! i love this car.

[@tazgee6609]

She may be running rough….BUT….that old flathead sounds beautiful!!!!! You’re a real hero in my eyes for not dropping a small block “chebby” in it!! Love that wonderful old sound of Henry’s original!!!!!

[@chrisnorris2573]

Car is awesome Love to see a video on the cars details rear end ,steering box ,brakes,what axle all the fun stuff

[@RACGARAGE]

Thanks! I’ll probably do one of those when it’s closer to completion

[@chrisnorris2573]

Cool. I found the playlist and are watching them all

[@mitchellfielder5869]

Looking good! However make sure that flamethrower coil has a resistor in the wiring!! I ran one of the 6v compatible ones in my old banger without a resistor and it kept frying the ignition condensers causing almost exactly the problem you're having! It would run for a minute or two and the misfire until it just died. If you're not running pertronix ignition or have a resistor in the ignition circuit, I'd suggest downgrading the coil to one that doesn't need a resistor and change the condenser and see how it goes! Run it all old-school and it will work for you!

[@black88coupe]

Congrats man!!!!

[@chuckstith838]

If you don't have to get towed or walk home it's a win. Baby steps. Enjoy

[@as901066ify]

Gotta be an awesome feeling to drive it down the road. Good job man. Love those old school traditional hot rods. Keep up the good work.

[@philrainey805]

Happy times when you get that first road trip done!

[@johnbernstein1127]

Congrackalations!

[@kurtludwig4783]

Haha little Vice G sound effects

[@michaelguinn5736]

Morning Travis, you & I both have awesome employers, my old boss before he retired would come into the machine shop & ask, what you working on? He knew I was working on race car parts....but they were ok with it....I was busy doing something...I always get my business work done first, congrats on getting the ole flatty running better.....be safe, God Bless!!!!

[@tomwilkinson2184]

I'm loving the sound of it , awesome build . Happy belated Birthday Travis !

[@budyeddi5814]

Just found your channel today and I'm liking what I see ^_^ Traditional hot rods are the best hot rods!! Looking forward to progress and future videos, keep up the good work :^)

[@molinelligarage1004]

Awesome to see it running and driving ..man does it sound awesome ...2 things come to mind ...but I'm not super familiar with Holly 94s and old flatheads ...but definitely grab a vacuum gauge and adjust to the highest manifold vacuum ....then maybe a quick fuel pressure gauge to make sure your gravity system is supplying enough fuel ...but all in all ...A WIN FORSURE!!!!! happy belated btw and thanks for the wicked video !!!!

[@JazzStrat781]

Man that flathead sounds great, love it that you are using that motor! Best to you and your family!

[@748rum]

That’s bloody awesome, well done.

[@denniscliff2071]

I would be inclined to mount an electric pusher fan in front of the radiator to save some power drag and other hassles, but you have already made that trick adapter plate so never mind. Great video. Thanks. After a bit longer drive time, sparkplug checks are a great way to find out which way to go on jetting.

[@jimsloan8549]

So Cool

[@bobbyjones2363]

Have you tried to lift up the fuel line. (Down hill and back up might starve it.)

[@CabinTimeOregon]

Hey you made it back, Sounds Awesome Man, Really looking Bitchin too, Good Work Mister...

[@bajalarry8738]

Look up Charlie price @ vintage speed he’s the best on rebuilding 97 s you can find him on KZbin awesome content my brother keep it going 🤘🏽

[@robertpeeler4359]

Excellent work Travis and happy belated birthday

[@bruceedgecomb8722]

its great to see the younger generation carrying on the hot rod tradition keep up the good work

[@leonardwalters154]

Belated happy birthday, and the old flatty sounds great 👍

[@slowshop]

It's a win!! First little test drive feels like a road trip. 👌 Love it

[@steveturetzkin9829]

looking good travis !!

[@scottwillette172]

Maine license plate...👍 Primate..awesome job on the coupe Travis..

[@tedcorey3054]

That fan blade is still hitting somewhere ,you can hear it as you were pulling into the garage .

[@RACGARAGE]

yeah i saw a rub mark. it has since been fixed.

[@MajTom-wd2yt]

21:28....It do look GOOD. Keep on keep'n on. 🛠⚙️🔩 REAL FORDS DON'T HAVE VALVE COVERS.

[@WaxMeister]

No, no, no! - that fan has too much 'mass', I believe it's gonna trash the generator bearings very quickly. You gotta let us know if I'm wrong on this okay? Enjoy the channel!

[@RACGARAGE]

If it does it does. Lesson learned

[@WaxMeister]

@@RACGARAGE true enough, there are few handbooks on our work.

[@lindaalexander7105]

might need electric fuel the cam and or push rod or fuel pumps were a big problem on flatheads old man Rich

[@waynehayes8237]

Good job. Making more progress every day.

[@whatsoutthere6822]

Great job, man. You hit a milestone! One step at a time, eh?

[@pappabob29]

No "expert" for sure but I would agree with Gee Whizz about the weight of that fan on the gen bearings?? You mentioned "no fuel pump". Are you running a electric pump or just "gravity" from the tank. Model A's are NOTORIOUS for sediment from the tank clogging the fuel line. Are you sure your tank is clean of rust sediment?? There is a small cylindrical filter you can install on top of the fuel valve so the fuel going into the fuel line is not coming off the bottom of the tank. Motor sounds nice !!! 👍👍👍⚙️🛠🔩🗜

[@timboyle2499]

That is a flathead fan, should be alright

[@RACGARAGE]

If it ruins the genny so be it lol I like the look of this 6 blade fan. I just have gravity power! And I lined the tank with that paint sealer stuff so it’s clean, motor should be all set as of now though. Need a nice day to test out the latest carburetor tweaks!

[@johnpatient4815]

Make sure that the tank is vented. If not the vacuum will prevent fule flow.

[@RACGARAGE]

@@johnpatient4815 the fuel filler cap is stock so it should be right?

[@pappabob29]

@@johnpatient4815 Agreed !! The 29's had screw on gas caps and the same size/thread cap on the radiator. A common "vandal" trick of the day was to trade the location of those two caps. The radiator cap being "non-vented" would eventually stop the flow of fuel to the engine. I think the 30/31 radiators use the modern style cap so that no longer worked. Still a concern if your tank cap threads on.

[@franciscocastillo4687]

nice sound ford flatheads forever

[@MrGlendale1952]

I feel like you have more of an ignition issue than a carb issue.

[@fueladdictiongarage7048]

👍🏻

[@MF-rn5os]

Running and driving before the snow hits. Congrats. I hope your garage is heated if you have just water in the block, would not want it to freeze

[@RACGARAGE]

I’ll drain some and add antifreeze I was just too excited to go to the store and get some lol

[@dennisd4452]

Yep, same spot that it breaks down at. sort a of funny. Yet the start of a curse? We hope not.
