If you wanted to get into some gangsta shit, add a high torque starter to a carbureted motor and you’ll save yourself from continuous cranking and voltage drops. If you really wanna get into some gangsta shit, add a 4 speed manual to a carbureted motor and you got heaven on earth in the palm of your hands and the smalls of your feet
@@saulescamilla3605I’m not sure if you’re familiar but the muscle car era topped out at 4 speed manual transmissions during the horsepower war of the big 3. 5 speeds weren’t available until the mid 70’s my boy. 😎
I am a crate motor small block Chevy man all of my motors have carburetors. You have to spend more than $400 to get it right. I have a Holley double pumper 670 CFM manual choke. Fires right up with one press of the gas pedal in the morning. Took my car to the dino and got my fuel air mixture perfect. I'll survive an EMP
350 vortec with 160k+ miles, Edelbrock 750 double pump with no choke, tuned by ear, Edelbrock fuel pump from O'Reilly's, fires right up without having to pump it, let it sit and idle for a minute to warm up and smack the gas while she's running once to fill the secondary fuel bowls.
Being the only person at my shop that can tune a carburetor on a old Toyota is nice keeps me busy but when you start getting into multiple carburetors it gets entertaining
I had a 81 step side in high school. It had a 1967 327 with matching heads my dad had held onto for years. I built it with a chiltons manual and some supervision from my dad. I started messing with the timing after a new cam and a 12.1 compression backfire blew the air lid off and I had a small fire at a stop sign luckily nothing major was damaged.
Bro, you hit the nail on the head!!!! I love it. You always do a fantastic job!!! Been a subscriber for a long time!!! Love your shorts keep up the good work. SBC 409 with 18-degree heads putting down 625!!! LS kids can't get it???
I put a Holley sniper on a 383 stroker in my 68 Camaro and it made all the difference in the world. The responsiveness and power was like night and day from when I was running a regular carb
Was it the correct carb for the build and was it tuned correctly? (fuel pressure, float levels, jet sizes, power valve, discharge nozzle, accelerator pump with correct cam, etc.)
I had a 92 suburban 2500 with a 454 throttle body injection. It was a complete dog until we finally put the 750 carb on it. Burnouts for days after that.
I love a carb. I enjoy tuning them. Got a box of probably 20 different holleys. Always swappind different metering blocks and stuff trying to get the best combo
I love the air sucking noise that carburetors make when you rev the gas. Also about carburetors is that they’re easily tunable, but they don’t have as much tuning potential as fuel injected vehicles. Not to mention they’re easily rebuildable.
When I was young I enjoyed the carburetors and honestly you don’t drive them enough to necessitate worrying about anything other then them fowling up from sitting in your driveway… fuel injection is nice because you can enjoy the car without having to mess with a choke or adjustments.. both are awesome
I had a 429 with a Holley carb in my '65 Caddy...I could get it working exactly right.. I switched it to an Elderbrock and it worked a lot better. You're going to still smell like gas if you don't have a filter on it though.
A nice set of high-rise twin fours square bore of course. Vacuum, Single unit spread bores. Mechanical. In the only module we had to deal with was the one sitting behind the steering wheel. And could be programmed to any car make. Truck, motorcycle, aeroplane. 😁😜🇭🇲
Dude i had a 2wd shortbed single cab Silverado with the 5.3 with bolt ons and a cam. Now it ran and idled great no gripe with that thing. At the time it was almost 20 yrs old when i had it and the hemis and Ecoboost couldnt pull away from me. BUT my first truck was an 85 squarebody with a 305 and a quadrajet. That thing was the smoothest engine ive ever owned regardless of model year car/truck anything. I tried doing some bolt ons to it and when we would try n bump the starter 9 times outta 10 it would start ehen you didnt want it to. I mean u whispered on the key and it fired up. I think that quadrajet was a big part of it. I upgraded to a 327 365hp built version and it was a screamer but i replaced the carb with a 600double pumper holley and it never did do what i wanted that quadrajet was actually bigger cfm sidnt know that til years later and i eventually went to a summit brand 750 and it ran well had the idle tuned good no hesitation in the throttle response but whatever was going on inside that quadrajet was magic and nothing to this day comes close to how perfect that thing was tuned
I remember the first time I got my 4 barrel adjusted in my cutlass that baby was sounding right. I was so lost when he was like where your flat head 😂.
On the SRC Channel at the old man's garage he says those carburetors are so good that he doesn't even have to turn any screws most of the time he's bought I don't know how many of those carburetors because they just work that good.
Fun fact carburetors to start after the EMP strike if there was one especially if it's got a manual transmission and a distributor equip it with a backup Magneto and it doesn't matter if the alternator goes out you'll still have lights and gauges
To throw some more fuel on the fire - in my opinion, Quadrajets are actually the best 4 brl carb design, its just that nobody uses them because it requires some serious sorcery to tune them. Its why Holley 4150 and 4160 carbs were so popular - theyre so much easier tune.
Carbs are so damn easy to work on. Once you install a wideband gauge a fuel regulator and possibly change some jets or metering rods they run just as good as fuel injection. They are extremely reliable as well.
You forgot to mention how much more it'll impress your girl when all you need to fix the car is a can of starter fluid a flat head and some paper clips and zip ties in the glove box. They never believe it or appreciate it at first, but after a few momentary pit stops over the years where you fix the car faster than they can google a tow truck or text their friend about your shit box breaking down and you're back on the road, they'll love you forever. Just bear in mind that you are now considered THE car guru, and fixer of ALL things after that.
I've owned several carbs in my life and not a single time did I ever have a problem starting them, even in the winter. My 79 firebird had a bad electronic choke so I had to warm it up fully before I drove but that vehicle never had a problem in the snow. I would even pass 4 wheel drive trucks and suvs.
My best friend in high school, his dad was a mechanic. He could rebuild and tune a carburetor better than any fuel injected tuner. He taught me to tune a carburetor by ear and with a vacuum gauge. To this day I can walk by a running car at a car show and say yep that carburetor needs to be adjusted.
I love when car guys from basically sea level talk about tuning carbs with attitude. It’s pretty easy to tune a carb that’s never starving for oxygen. When you can make something run good under even normal driving conditions at 3,500’ and have it run just as good at 12,000’ on the same adjustment I’ll respect your ability. Now THATS what a good tune does. pretty easy to think you’re dialed in when you never have to test it out. 😂
Damn, I don't know a hemi lifter tick from rod knock...never heard either from my car. Guess I need to swap a big block in it so I can.😂 Foreal though, I'm talking to the older car guys in my shop to learn what I can before I start my own projects.
Tune it right and it'll run right. My wore out 302 starts at 18°F with a few pumps and knocking it out of fast idle and taking off about 30sec later... Tune that carb and ignition system. Points do fine. There's so many ways to tune them to work with each other perfectly. Once you've fine tuned them together, the engine will start fast and easy.
I'm runnin a 750cfm Holly single pumper on my all roller 383 SBC & my baby starts no matter what temperature it is with 1 single pump of the throttle, & about 1 to 2 seconds of cranking! You tune a good carb right, & she'll start as fast or faster than ANY fuel injection ya wanna put it up against!! Now if ya don't have an electric or manual choke on that carb you may have to sit & hold a miner amount of throttle on it till it warms up enough to run on it's own. But if your a TRUE gear head, you'll enjoy those moments that you just can not get with fuel injection. Oh, it's also a proven fact that a good carb setup makes more power at wide open throttle than ANY fuel injection setup! The main reason most high-end racers use fuel injection is because they can do more complex fine tuning quicker with a laptop.
I got an R22 in a 1985 celica st coupe that i converted from fuel injection to dual weber 40 dcoe's and its a hastle but i love the look and i dont have to worry about anything if my ecu takes a shit.
They would be lost!!!😂😂😂 Jet changes. Adjusting idle air screws. If you're really old school and still running those old q-jets. Setting the float. Adjusting the choke during the winter and summer time. I miss those days!!!
Carb over efi all day! Tuning efi is hard but tuning a carb with getting squirter size and accel. pump cams timed right along with jet size tuning. Man there is no better feeling when that thing makes a clean hit
I love both. I just hate playing the jetting game, it blows ass constantly pulling bowls and cleaning gas off the intake. Adjusting only does so much if you need to jet up or down and once you do, your stuck retuning everything all over again.
I ran a carb'd rocket 350 on my 80 olds about a decade ago. I miss the sound of that old bastard, but I don't miss the mileage, lol. She'd get 13 on a good day when I wasn't being too much of an ass on the highway, and I couldn't even hit triple digits due to gearing, but that was a seriously fun car to fart around town in!
