YEA BUDDY.

Cool

Turn the phone Sideways and enjoy

I rotate the wires one prong,then I know exactly where to point the vacuum booster and not worry about looking at the degree marks.

Before you tighten the distributor. Turn the key to run, take nuber one lead and earth it against the block. Turn the distributor anticlockwise until the lead sparks. Do it a couple times so you get the dizzy stopped dead on spark and bolt it down. This works with points and aftermarket electronic ignition systems. like crane electronic ignition.

Old school stuff there. I used to preset mine at 8.

Tdc cylinder 1 to line your rotor up so as piston is full compression the spark ignites at max compression. If retard it is sending unspent burnt fuel out the intake.

Oh stop being ridiculous. Put it on tdc. Start the fking car. Warm it up then set the timing. You're making things stupid just to seem intelligent. Here's a tip. Keep it simple stupid. Oh and none of that is relevant anymore anyway. Go ahead and play shade tree shit putting chains on an Audi q7. 🤣🤣 Just bc ppl are old doesn't mean they're wise.

Never built an engine without doing this. I don’t know how this video is even a thing

My FE 390 10:1 runs like a stripped ape using this

Is that timing advance?

Now big block it goes up to 16 erase all up there to about 1 5 usually they run pretty good

Cuz if you own small block if you ain't got that aftermarket time machine cover and you got a factory time change cover it only go up to 12

Big block around about 15 to 16

Big block around about

Small block small block times about 11 to 12

I have never see 3 hump heads before, anybody know what that means?

1974 or older by the look’s of the back window 😊

I wish I didn't sell my 70 firebird back In 1988!! I had the chance to buy it back in 1999 but when I got there they had just taken a payment through western union from Texas the person bought it site unseen 4000.00 the car is probably worth 15k now

How many times are you gonna make the poor guy say the same thing over and over. I’m surprised steam didn’t start pouring right out of his ears.

Love that idle

Trans Am make it from smoking bandits

Let it run for an hour or two but make sure all the doors and windows are closed

This guy is the real deal. This is a real mechanic thank you. I wish I would've had this video about six months ago when I was working on my 1990 bronco I couldn't figure out the timing for the life of me, but I ended up figuring it out, but this video would have been useful. Lol

When I was a little guy I was a big fan of AMC cars but not so much anymore. Good to see one still on this side of the scrapyard.

It is only common sense... but common sense is flower that don't grow in everyone's garden!

This man speaks with ALL the knowledge that anyone needs , I learned this method after my first engine fuck up ( 40 years ago ) , since then this is a tried and true method for almost instantly getting a new fresh engine started, make sure the carburetor has fuel ⛽️ and the timing is closely set and fire it up , the engine will start in a quarter turn of the fan blade and bring up rpm’s to 2200-2300 for 20-30 minutes to break the cam in ( if it’s flat tappet mechanical ) roller cams don’t require this much fuss , this should be the hot rodders gospel 😊

Problem with this is the guy that's not educated on how much initial timing a distributor has verse total timing with vacuum advance without vacuum advance with mechanical advance without mechanical advance with fully locked distributor with out fully locked distributor. These different setup types of distributors alll play different roll to keep the engine running perfectly or running poorly. U should explain that. Alot people that do new builds or that our new to doing budget build struggle in this area they never get the engine running correctly because the lack of knowledge in this area.

Thats a good one 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I used to set my timing on the harmonic balancer put a ohms meter across the points and adjust the distributor until the needle started to Flickr, started and ran every time

Power valve is the main circuit, not idle.

Vacuum advance doesn't have any effect until the engine is running.

Someone's going to have to explain how you set the timing before you're even running the motor and checking it with a timing light!! it ain't going to happen.. .

That's what I do and then I time it by ear I only use the light as a reference and I go by 2° increments until I feel it's right.

What year Firebird is it? I’ve never seen T-tops on the 70-73 before. It also has a Camaro 70-73 spoiler.

Confucius says…. Never lean over front and Rev engine… belt break and smack you in face!

I did that to my 302 started like a rape ape😅

When you gonna turn the camera back upright?

Oldsmobile is 20

He meant to say number 1 16 deg btdc on the compression stroke and the distributor must be pointed neer number 1 but more importantly the reluctor aligned.

Run at 87 octane should have no detonation. Only retard it just enough to avoid detonation.

Old school Mechanic, learned his hard won skills by investing in time invested labor.

Who doesn't love the sound of a built SBC

Love the sound of this motor !!!

Nice work Ben😊

I have a good tip for everyone, listen to this guy , and you won't wipe out your cam

RIGHTON MAN ,,,,,,

Solid true information!
