  • Ok, so this week I’ve been called on to fix 2 different carburetors that “needed tuned”
    90% of the time, the biggest issue with performance cammed Small Block Chevys is improperly tuned IGNITION SYSTEMS.
    Well, let’s just say I found 2 perfect examples this week, but the Trans Am was an EXTREME situation that made for an EPIC TEST DRIVE when the customer came to pick up his beloved Fully Restored “Restomod”1976 Pontiac Trans Am.

      Thought along the same lines, I must be getting older because I got more joy out of seeing his joy then I do sometimes for myself accomplishing something.

    Damn, A 500 hp classic T/A tuned by the Old Man.....the owner can spend the extra cash on tires which he'll no doubt need soon I bet LOL. That's just good stuff right there.

    @mattfritch6375 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +10

    That TA is so nice. Getting it tuned to run right and seeing the customers reaction is priceless. You can imagine how much it cost to build the car and not having it run 100% has to be depressing so good on you Bill for getting it going.

    That Trans Am looks awesome, the black/gold Bandit look is nice, but I've always thought the silver design was the best appearing. Great to see how happy the guy was getting to drive his car trouble free, great job!

    the Firebird guy's reaction is PRICELESS!!! You could see the hope in his eyes, when he cranked it up, but then the satisfaction was CLEARLY evident when he hammered it!! THEN the "one more time, ONE MORE TIME!" had me laughing and smiling and happy for him! GREAT JOB! on a great and gorgeous car!!!

Would really like to see more on the new shop over the years I’ve felt like you’ve family is part of mine. As far as I’m concerned,nothing better than old man’s garage and coffee to start my day off with the coolest family family on the internet. Thank you for all the laughs and knowledge you have provided for us all. 👊🏻

  • @YardCars
    @YardCars 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    So many of these "carb" issues are classic. A lot of the younger folks haven't had the experience of tuning an engine properly at all. Good on the old man for helping the newer folks understand the issues that are the real problem.

    • @YardCars
      @YardCars 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I maybe used the wrong phrase to suite everyone when I said younger folks. It was meant in a broader sense in relation to most people in general. Not a lot of folks know the proper way to tune and read an engine.

    Man, I've been procrastinating locking out my timing for awhile now, guess this answers my questions about doing it on a street car. May just do it this weekend, I'm sick of the shitty, stinky idle.

    • @lit549
      @lit549 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I have a question, just one I promise! Locked the timing and it retards timing while being revved, like 6deg. So, do I set the timing till it stops retarding, and just live with more idle timing or just set it at idle and live with the loss of timing?

    • @lit549
      @lit549 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Or, just go with a crank trigger and cal it good🤷

    I love the channel still watching the video. Just wanted to say while it was on my mind it would be nice for you to do a drawing and the lucky winner could send you their motor and have Bob build it. It’s a little different spin on the giveaway motor that would allow the winner to have some input on what he’d like to see realistically, of course just a thought.

    Bill the fact that your willingness to help people only proves my point,the young man with the Ford PU and the the man with the awesome TA are probably thinking your there hero and with your knowledge I understand why. That's going to make a awesome giveaway with everyone coming on board I'm looking forward to seeing that 427 dialed in and making passes. Thanks for what you do for the sport and the great entertainment. God bless and as always be safe.
