For anyone who didnt get the air density thing about the sparkplug: The air offers electrical resistence, the more air between each end, the more power is needed to arc through it. When you increase the air pessure you are basically putting more air in the same space, creating more resistence as a result. A simple way to visualize this is to imagine you need to make your way through a crowd of people. If you need to travel a longer distance through the crowd it'll take more effort, but if you keep making the crowd more dense even traveling a short distance becomes hard work. The same principle applies for electricity that has to travel through an air gap: The denser the air, the higher the resistence.
Everybody needs a friend like Vince. He doesn't talk down to you when you ask questions, he's down to help you work on your project car, and he makes some mean BBQ. Shoutout to Vince for being a good dude.
Becoming? Dude has sweet ass hidden projects, a van and basically started learning a whole new career for Hoonigan (water jet table stuff). Fuck yeah Kyle.
Another old school way to check for a misfire is using a temp gun on the exhaust manifold. Do everything vinn did, but instead of pulling injector plugs you read the temp on each manifold runner. The lowest temps are your misfiring cylinders.
If you have any questions or need advice on this vette, Jeremy from the ( Faster Proms ) TH-cam channel has a car like this that makes like 600 hp. He's full of info.
Did you understand when he started tuning his Corvette he said he was not getting in to the prom tuning anymore it was just for the Corvette that's not what he does anymore
Then you clearly don't know the struggle. The first mod on any car of mine was the "make it legal" paperwork swap. The shittiest part about the swap is that only the damn DMV has the right parts. Now if you ask what's wrong with the DMV, Hert is gonna slap you from wherever he is, to wherever you are. Vegeta style. He will compress the air between you and transfer the slap over any distance. lol, I might be overestimating his skills a bit, but he watches enough Dragonball Z that he knows what's up. Isn't that how that shit works? You watch someone do something enough and you should then be able to do it? I guess if that logic holds, then I'm a drifting god, race monster, Master photographer, Maniac artist( already true), Scumbag and I can build anything out of anything, anywhere, anytime. Plus I have a ton of money, booming business and shit tons of awesome friends (definitely not true). All because I watch the Hoonigan crew. I wish that was how the world worked... I just proofread this post and realize I might have strayed a bit from the original point of the reply, but I am gonna hit the blue button anyways. #AintCare
Vince is a real cool dude. Deff seems like a trust worthy mechanic. Some of his tactics are a bit old school but knows what hes doing. Cant wait to see the Kyvette going strong!
If they're stock multec injectors, soaking them in anything or running fuel system cleaner will actually cause them to fail internally. They're a common problem on c4's and should just be replaced with Bosch 3 style injectors. I can't remember if your year is 24lbs or 22lbs. Hopefully I can make it to the next burnyard with my '91 C4!
Just because you saw some shmuck through another TH-cam channel does not mean hes anywhere near more qualified than half the tuners across the country.
I love these cars with a passion, especially the late model C4's. I learnt so much about cars on my dad's 94', even how to drive stick! (Still surprised to this day he let me) They are a pain in the ass to work on but definitely worth every bloody knuckle when you're done and get to stomp on the throttle. Keep up the quality content guys, and give us more C4!
Vince is cool if he dont get you to laugh or smile his mind starts racing and he will figure a way to break you. It was funny how he's like lets pull it in and almost rips the hood off the hinges. Vince is a funny dude. I wish you a good day Vince. I love the car by the way can wait to see it fresh and flowing.
I've got a '96 C4 with 115,000 miles on it and I've never had any issues with it. I understand the early Optisparks had issues, but with the later ones , they seem to have ironed the bugs out of them, and nobody likes wrinkley bugs. :)
I’m definitely interested in learning more about 80’s GM “performance” if you can call it that.. everything from C4’s to IROCs and anything else obscure
@@theangryitalian7922 the optispark is suffering incarnate. that era was like a half step up from the 60's. everything back then was mechanical or carbs unless you were filthy rich for an EFI conversion kit that was super picky with fuel, and you had to run 93 or you would get all kinds of throttle response issues. and turbos were black magic on par with shock damping.
@@coreyclark2692 as soon as I added boost to mine it was edelbrock opti then to stand alone with a custom wheel on the crank and ls coil packs. It's so unreliable
@@mpmagnussen anything but a delco or MSD opti is junk, didn't know edelbrock even made optis. i'm in process of hanging a precision 76mm off the front of my car and plan on keeping the opti for now on ~7lbs so we'll see how it goes lol but n/a there is nothing wrong with the optis with regular maintenance.
@@jononame8915 oh okay, i did not know that, i have a delco opti on my car and never had an issue. had an msd opti on it previously until the water pump took a dump on it.
Odds that the Opti is working correctly are suuuuuuper low imo. They fail frustratingly easily, especially considering the likelihood of this one being a vented opti is low.
I’m 10 mins in to video and I swear I’ve gotten at least 3 solid old-school tips for working on older vehicles, sooo cool guys. U hoonigans are the shit 🇺🇸😎
If you replace the plug wires you'll wish that you just bought the TorqHead kit for it. The LS style coil packs are super easy to change plugs and wires. Until then get used to misfires with the optispark distributor.
yeah, probably the Optispark. Not worth replacing if they do an engine swap. If they don't do an engine swap, the Optispark delete kit is nice. www.torqhead.com/index.html
Sounds Needs a full tune up gas filter ,oil change ,spark plug wires, air filter, run a seafoam through it and drive the car it's been sitting ... maybe a burnout or two lol
these guys make a good team. Vince knows everything and kyle knows nothing but at least he tries to jump in and help unlike some people that just walk away
Dear Hoonigan- I’m definitely interested in learning more about 80’s GM “performance” if you can call it that.. everything from C4’s to IROCs and anything else obscure in between would make great content. These cars are almost classics but can still be found on a budget and fixed up, which is always cool.
Turning Brakes as far as I know were used mostly in dune buggies back in the sixties and seventies. One of the recent Roadkill Garages is about an old vw dune buggie. It’s helps the vehicle whip around with a bit more control offroad.
Just get rid of the OPTISPARK for a Torque head system or LTx Conversion. Mine has been problem free ever since =) then a Set of AFR heads and a mild cam.
Pull the spark plug on misfiring cylinder and put seafoam or ATF directly in the cylinder to soak overnight. Turn it over the next day to push excess oil out, install plug and give er. The oil will break down any rust in the cylinder or on the rings to restore compression.
THE PARKING BRAKE IS ON!.... you have to pull it all the way to the top then push the button and release it, the parking brake handle can move up and down freely when it is engaged to make it easy to get in and out of the car.
Oh man it’s got the ASR box. That is an incredible pain to deal with. Best thing is convert it with an auto LT1 throttle body from an F body so you can run a manual tv cable and manual throttle cable.
to scan obd1 gm cars all you need is a paper clip to jump the scan port and count flashes. flashes correspond to a two digit code. codes can be stored and the light might not be on
11:43 EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED TO MY '96! Cruse control sticks on. I don't trust it anymore. Gave it a shot on a long trip recently, it got stuck on at like 5% throttle so no big deal. I was about to pull over to loosen it but I hit a bump that giggled it free for me. If you fix this on the channel I WILL be watching!
If the problem ends up being the Optispark stay away from aftermarket units. They are hit or miss at best. Look into the Optidoctor on Ebay. His name is Brad Errington and he can refurbish your existing distributor or sell you one off of the shelf. He is the go-to guy on the C4 Vette forums and has an excellent reputation. If mine ever takes a dump that is where I will send it.

Wait, he isnt already working with them? After build n battle i thought that was a given
HE COULD BE SCOTTO'S VARGAS!!
Kyle is the best!
He doesn't fuck around... if something needs doing he just accepts that's there's an issue that needs fixing and he fixes it
mainly cause he doesn't know shit about car, an trust is friend ;p
Kyle is quickly becoming my favorite hoonigan.
Becoming? Dude has sweet ass hidden projects, a van and basically started learning a whole new career for Hoonigan (water jet table stuff). Fuck yeah Kyle.

Same thing on a Diesel.
Old school is doing it by feel. A temperature gun is very new school.

Vince is Hoonigan’s version of Steve Dulcich, so glad he’s back!
Really enjoy the vids with Vince and Kyle. That moustache is on point! Thanks for the upload gentlemen.
He's like the Bob Ross of car repair videos.
@@TheCarZoomies yeah man, also reminds me a little bit of John C Reilly. But like you said, Bob Ross definitely!
Looks like more of a circle to me.
Why is this on bonus channel? Should be a main channel video

I dunno man. It's not pulling a stuck bolt out...
i find myself staring at his mustache curls LOL
they look like o-rings

Not the same. tho. Fasterprom is a TPI L98 with a miniram intake.
this is an LT1 the early and bad one. not vented opti.
This was educational and I feel like Kyle asked all the right questions and Vince is a great resource. Keep it up guys
Kyles Corvette looks like your old black T-shirt with deodorant stains in the armpits.
Peter - LOL but it’s a badass T shirt like a Harley or GM RACING / Budweiser / Pantera / Slayer black shirt with history and sentimental meaning
They should nickname it armpit.
