AM Radio - traction control is your feet. Same goes for “cruise control”... & stability control is your arms & hands, while blind spot awareness is the open headers... oh- & don’t forget the forward facing “adaptive cruise control/ collision detection” device- that’s your co-pilot riding shot-gun keeping both eyes peeled for lurking local patrolmen.. 😁
Oh yeah, love em, had them bolted right to my collectors one time on my 506 wedge😂😂😂on the street every car that passed me head on echoed like a stock car flying by😂😂had them on a sbc mud truck too...love em
Glass packs RULE! Back in the day, there were all kinds of cool "brand names" available cheap. Most of them were just re-branded Cherry Bombs painted different colors. A lot of cars in my area ran "Orange Peelers". These days, I usually use DynoMax complete exhaust systems. On the other hand, for my latest project, I fired up the chop saw and welder. I modified 2 pairs of their tailpipes so that I could have 4 outlets under a 74 GMC pickup. The mufflers are Cherry Bomb Extremes, single in/dual out. Looks and sounds awesome with 2 polished stainless pipes on each side right behind the rear tires!
I enjoy how your videos just start and are right to the point with no fancy intros, hype or product pushing beforehand. And they end just as quickly. I don't have to fast forward to the main topic like on other TH-camrs videos. 😁
I would go to the neighborhood gas station to add air to the Monroe air shocks I had installed. With the valve located just under the rear bumper.(1970 Z28). The old guy mechanic who owned the shop,would always say the same joke. "Hey young fella!. You'll never get air in your tires doing it like that!" 😂
I'm having flashbacks to my teenage years. And that forty-something-year-old guy down the street that would talk cars with me and my buddies. All kinds of knowledge....and he let us get high in his backyard.
Cecil county drag strip 1981, a case of beer and 5 pounds of ice over the right rear wheel of a 65 Chevy 2. Unfortunately it took a toll on my reaction times later in the evening.
Yep. I still run a single air shock and old school Competition Engineering adjustable slapper bars under my 74 Camaro. You can get the same result on a coil spring car by inserting an air bag inside the right rear spring. I recommend that to a friend for his 72 Malibu. That one change knocked almost a tenth off of his 60' times.
Wow! Finally, somebody is talking about what I explained to a lot of folks back in the day (70s) about traction. They always asked me why my car sat lopsided. You have just explained it. That old Blue Goose has some giddy Up Go. Thanks a bunch.
It is stuff like this that makes me absolutely love this channel so much. The fact you are willing to help people have, well, more fun when racing. And, you gave us a very clear and practical showing of what happens with and without the preload from the air shock. And also, I just love your cars, so the info is a huge, HUGE bonus :)
Great analysis,and a clever solution.In the muscle car days('60s) we used to play around with air bags inside the rear springs.Shocks are the way to go,as you so well explained and demonstrated.
Hey uncle Tony really straight forward explanation and boy l don't get tired of hearing that car pull away hi uncle Kathy as well regards Anthony from down under

I'm not there yet with a Vette I'm gonna rebuild, but I'll keep that in mind when i get to the suspension.
I use air bags in the coil spring, I feel shock mounts are not made to support weight.you could mount the air bag between the leaf spring and the frame .

I didn't have air shocks so I would play with the tire pressure and make sure the stripe was black all across the width of the tire and even on both side of the car. Helped a lot. Thanks for your great content.
Tony! Never knew that would be one that would apply to street cars too, so that whole every action has an opposite reaction is the mantra amongst us four wheelers... dig it
All those fancy high end car shows on TV for the last 20 years never taught what U.T.G. can in 5 minutes of real world application. Course I never gave much care to the TV show, I always had my head buried in magazines. Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge again.
Tony I love all of these tips that you give. I don't here tips like this ANYWHERE else, like they are guarded secrets of the ancient order of the voodoo traction magic elders. Love ya Uncle Tony!
Hell Yes Uncle Tony! You hit the nail right on the head! It's all about keeping those back tires Planted and digging pavement! 90/10 adjustable's in the front help as well!
Sound advice Uncle tony! I did this back in the mid eighties on my '67 Camaro. I had two air-shocks on separate lines. I also had '65 Chevelle big block station wagon springs with a coil cut off on the front and no sway bar. It had a lot of stored energy to lift the front on launch and transfer the weight. Man I miss those days!
My first car was a 71 Camaro and when I bought it in 1983 it had air shocks ! Yeah man, your so right!!! I was only 19 when I found out about what you are explaining!!
I remember learning a little bit about this in tech school. Good stuff. We were discussing big trucks and suspension designs for max traction. Ever see a bobtail truck accelerate from the light and the frame rails lift? Thats like the suspension setup in a grand national, they lift the trunk when you nail it and use the vehicle weight to plant the tires. The way the teacher explained it was that's like grabbing a set of wheelbarrow handles underhanded and lifting. Feel your feet get planted with more weight. Lol when it squats on a launch that's bad , like trying to carry a wheelbarrow with your hands on top of the handles and pushing down (your feet left the ground , no traction) Man I love this stuff.
Always experimented with extra spring clamps(sometimes with spring unloaded to hold more arch) n such but never thought about a one sided air system. Duh!!! Good one Uncle!!
Oooh this is why the Duster launches like a drunken cow on roller skates. Always learning something new, thanks for the great visuals. Thanks Uncle Tony and Uncle Cathy
Very good Uncle Tony. I didn't know it was that severe with a Sure-Grip (Power-Lok?) rear end. Is the next step after the air shock traction bars or ladder bars?
@@UncleTonysGarage Thanks UT. I edited my comment a few minutes ago because I thought that fist one might have sounded insulting, but you had already read it. I'm glad no offense had been taken--I would have been devastated.
Hi Uncle Tony. I just found this older vid, im hoping you can help me out. I got a 68 firebird with tons of torque. It definitely squats in the right rear when I punch it. I also notice it sits about a half inch lower in the right rear. By putting the air shock on that side, will that lift it up and level the rear out. Thanks!
Uncle Tony I know you're a busy man but I need your help with my 1980 Z28 I'm getting stiffer Landrum springs with a 250 Ibs/in rate but was wondering what air shocks you would suggest to really get the rear end to hook up.
Back in 1977 I installed a set of air shocks on the rear of my 1970 firebird. That thing was insane! I felt every bump and pebble on the road, awful ride but……….. that thing would hook up! On hill jumps in San Francisco it wouldn’t bottom out but bounce like a basketball on big fat Kelly Springfield M50s and 7 inch pizza cutters up front with Keystone classics. You had to be there, good times.
Air shocks, us poor folks use footballs 🏈 inside the coil spring! lol. 😂 I added cheap coil over shocks to the rear to stiffen the 3” lower leaf springs on my S10 Blazer; followed by building a set of Cal-Clone bars. I add a bit more preload to the bar on the passenger side. Testing to follow!
When I looked at the thumbnail I thought you were going to talk about putting 90/10 shocks in the front to help the front end come up faster to help weight transfer. I have run airshocks in the distant past but never thought of running different pressures. Good to know.
I knew that an air bag in the rear coil did that, like I have done in my 79 Malibu but I hadn't thought of using an air shock to do the same thing like in my 70 Nova. Thanks
Did you chainge transmissions? I thought it was shot? AND I remember you talked about weight transfer but i can't find it now it was about weight above the axle vs below and behind the wheel
Love the air shocks...Back in the day all the hot rod kids in town would come to my dads gas station for the free air because our compressor would put out 180 lbs at the nozzle. when they left the ass end was up in the air and the front bumper was hitting the road
Heh. One of my friends got in on a pre-reopening at a local drag strip, invited me along. His Cutlass had a decent 350/400 setup, but it turned out it had 2:73 gears. Wasn't too bad, since it was about to shift out of 2nd at the far end, but it was sucking hind tit off the line. It annoyed him when I ran a quicker time than he did in his own car by about half a second, so I taught him about controlled wheel spin.
So, doesn’t the right wheel grab more and push the back to the right? But when you air up the right side you precent the right rear squat and the left grabs more making you go straighter?
Kudos to Uncle Kathy for standing with a camera while having tire rocks thrown at her! Air shock(s) are a great tip! What do you think of the famous Mopar pinion snubbers? I had a friend that ran a BB GTX that got better traction than I did in my SB Camaro. We both had slapper bars. Seemed that was the difference.
Hell yea. Good stuff. Big difference ..do you think would work with a 70 C10 chevy pickup. I'm going to try using slapper bars to reduce the terrible wheel hop issue. Thanks
What force is making the rear go, always to the right? The torque from the engine is being applied to both of the rear wheels almost equally through the rear differential. Assuming there is equal slippage on both of the rear tires then, what makes the rear dance?

Looks like it spins out a long ways. Would some 80/20 shocks help? The car doesn't seem to be bogging now so I think it would.
