@@FarmsVilla yeah I was just wondering if they had all made a way to get along together or if she wasn't in the picture anymore. Either way I'm happy for them and all of their recent success
@@mattthemorningafter sorry that has nothing to with the damn video or the question that Mr Bill ask in the video if yall don't remember maybe yall should go back and watch it again.

And it's none of anyone else's business in social media world where Molly is or Molly isn't. Sorry Mr Bill.and Billy Hoskinson it not really applies to the title and topic.
@@chuckherald2405 that's why I didn't address the question to Bill. I addressed it to the comment I replied to. How bout you stay in your lane and ask whatever questions YOU want, and comment whatever YOU want. Because I'm most certainly going to continue to say any and everything that I want to. You came onto a reply thread to a comment in order to be a Karen. Go sit down somewhere.
Must if running E85 1 for proper atomization engine must operate at 185 temp. 2. A blaster 2 coil is not enough to ignite ethanol. Must run a HVC coil. 3. For SBC on E85 36 deg. Is about all they like. 4. If you park your car more than a week or two you should drain the bowls and empty the Excelerator pumps. If you get gel in your carburetor like that simply fill the carburetor up with gasoline and let it sit for a day or two it will completely dissolve all the gel! No need to tear the carb apart.
Best of luck for the 10 second pass this whole family is awesome I just can't seem to get enough of your all videos they make my day. Praying for big Rob and hoping he gets weal soon. God bless and as always be safe P.S. tell miss Vicki she cracked me up
Bill you guys are making it happen! Rubbing elbows with 405 guys, tv time, so awesome! Congrats to you all for how far you have come in a short amount of time! Love the videos, nice to watch em first thing in the am!
Bill, this format with the Mally continues to attract attention and help racers. Bill Kings comment was spot on and really gave you props for your help in the bracket community, and he doesn't sound like a stranger to track side. Enjoy this racing, helping the boys (and girls), and hopefully a family project soon with your parents and one of those hot rods up there, oh yeaaaaa! 🤓 Hance
I started running E85 a few years ago in my bracket car. Made a huge difference. Runs more consistently throughout the day runs cooler and picked up ET. I love the informational videos from you bill. I sure appreciate what you do for all of us trying to learn and improve our setups.
Chief had been telling us for over a year or so. I think I was tuning it into a bottle neck to where the ignition could only fire x amount of fuel under boost pressure. Now that the ignition ceiling has been raised, it’s wanting more fuel and making more power. We’ll see how it goes
Good to see Bucko was able to get the fellow racers back on the road. Hope Rob is progressing well,last several videos haven’t said much about him. Still praying.
Last year at pacemakers when matt put on the shit box showdown my wife and I trailered our sonic blue ford lightning down from Toledo. The main reason we went was to meet you guys in real life, I had watched at you guys at Milan for pyop. Since that day on I was hooked on no prep racing. My wife and I are currently celebrating our 5 year anniversary in hocking hills. We both would love to purchase some merch and possibly pick it up on our way back to Toledo. We love what you guys do as a family. Vicki has even made me want to go to Cracker Barrel now… we love what you guys do, keep it up…
Bill your Malibu is just beautiful. Love it. I had a !970 Chevelle. Billy's Nova looks amazing. Uncle Bucko does nice work. My 1971 SS Nova had 4:88-1's with 4 speed. Man I can't wait to see what you guys do next? Takes me back to being young, those were my days.
Looking forward to more e85 content, ss well as anything else you put out! Building a 64 chevy2 gasser with a 383 sbc. Full frame about done, then floor. Love all your content, and keep it coming! Thx!
I have to giggle every time you put out a Malibu video. I remember telling you when you first got this car to change the rear in in and you said "Oh we just got this to be a family cruiser to go out to dinners in with good air conditioning on summer cruises. Its too nice. We have no plans on racing it". The air conditioning seems to be working just fine. Well done!! Anyone up for bets when the 64 gets a small turbo to help tow the trailers its not supposed to pull? LOVE the content. Its educational, informative and sometimes like these down right hilarious.
That is a sweet old Camaro. I have a newer mustang which I love but it will never sound like an older car threw a nice set of flowmaster mufflers. The Malibu sounds really good to. It was good to see all you guys having fun with the NPK weekend. Can’t wait to see that show on tv and see how much time you guys get on there.
Dennys camaro is sooooo cool! Pretty neat the ole Malibu is on e85 now too. A 10 sec pass in it would be really impressive with that 10 bolt. Best of luck! 🙏🏻
Bill I happened to notice at 6:23 in the video that the Malibu’s motor mount bolt might be coming out. Just thought I’d mention it but a great video as always and can’t wait to see the upcoming E85 content!
Love your and your sons content! Love the family feel your channel provides it viewers. Reminds me alot of my family before the glue that held it together got called home to be with the good lord. God bless you and your family and fellow subs.
Hi Bill & family!!! Thank you for sharing!! I love your channel and what you guys are about and how you guys race and work on the cars together as family. The more i watch your videos the more im inspired to put my 71 nova together!!!!
You should write a book on carburetors and what everything does and how it all works. I'm serious, you have a way of explaining things that a big dummy like me can understand. Or, have a tech section in your playlist on TH-cam on carburetors, camshaft selection for sure, and other building, tuning, how to's, etc... I'd buy your book, or audio book, or whatever. You'd make a dang good trade school instructor. You remind me a lot of my late uncle, who was full of knowledge but humble and eager to help people out. I know you're busy but maybe you'll find the time here and there and School us. Anyways, really enjoy watching your videos and learning a little bit every video. I sure do appreciate you. Take care, be safe, and have fun regardless.
Still learning some things on carbs. Bill, you said yours has a rich stumble that can be fixed with an air bleed replacement. That's good info for people trying to learn more. Thank you for the time you put into your channel and your family.
I forgot to say when I raced my lightning at Matt’s shit box showdown I pulled up to do a burnout and you were standing behind my truck and see I had a dealer plate and laughed, that make my night…
On that Camaro a nice aluminum radiator designed as a Big Block replacement and a factory big block 7 blade fan with the HD clutch would most likely cure the overheating. But never forget the importance of a properly fit and sealed shroud. If you feel the need for E85 then by all means go for it.
thank you Bill for a new video! glad you guys had a good weekend at trails ! How is uncle rob doing and god bless everybody! P.S.uncle bucko to the rescue!
Really cool video Bill, it’ll be cool to see the difference between the e85 and pump gas. Keep up the good work, and best of luck this weekend with the Malibu.
I've got a 69 Camaro that has been sitting in my garage for quite some time. After watching your videos. It is beginning to spark my interest back in to my old girl that I've owned since 1992. Since my son was born I have let my car sit in my garage with out doing anything to it (priorities). My son now 15 almost 16 has been dropping hints that he wants me to do something with the car. I have been considering the switch to E-85 for quite some time. My current set up is rather out dated but is fine for the application and it's intended use. I have a stock fuel tank that has been modified with a sump. I have a Fram fuel filter housing and a Holley blue pump and regulator. I have 3/8 inch aluminum fuel lines running the length of the vehicle then just below the fire wall i switch to braided fuel lines to the regulator and to the carbs dual feen lines. The motor is fueled by two Holley 650 Double pumper carbs. The main reason I've have been shying away from using the E-85 is the corrosive properties of the Ethanol with Aluminum. Besides changing the carburetors and aluminum fuel lines what other recommendations would you suggest?
this video is exactly what I needed to watch. have a 383 78 malibu on 110 and have been going back and forth about switching to E85. can't wait to see what it picks up at the track. I love your videos like this bill, teaches me a lot me being fairly new to the sbc world.
Love me some E85, been running it in my Malibu since 2010, TT SBC fast XFI fuel injection. 13:1 355 and about 25psi with two little 50mm turbos. It does cause leaks on my AN fitting, anything older with rubber o rings. I just change them out for teflon as they go bad. And oil changes more often due to condensation.
I put my Pontiac on e85 3 years ago and it’s been like a miracle elixir. 0 issues nothing but positive results. Power, cooling, all I do is add in a bottle of e85 conditioner in the 5-6 month winter break
Man that Camaro looks fantastic, a Big Block with a 4-speedy it doesn't get much better than that. Don't get me wrong, I would love to have the Malibu, it's looking fabulous and in my opinion running great as well and the color combo doesn't get much better either. Good luck if you go racing and if you're going to be doing that, I'd be looking for a 12-bolt rear end replacement or a 9-inch, even better yet. It's not likely your ever going to get rid of that beautiful thing anyhow, or at least I wouldn't be. Damn, I wish I had half the cars I've owned back, and at 72 years you can only imagine what that would consist of. Woops, didn't mean to go off on a tangent like that. You go racing and have a great time and enjoy yourself. 😎✌️❤️
Hey Bill, I sent you a fakebook message in messenger. I know you're all extremely busy but would you please read it when you get a chance. I love the content and everything y'all do for everybody. You're a good man and you remind me of my late dad. If not, it's perfectly fine with me. Thank you for all you do. It's amazing!!! Keep it up. P.s. I don't want a single thing from you or anybody else.
Just thought I'd mention that my gas mileage almost doubled when I got my vacuum advance working right, engine ran much cooler too. Another thing I noticed was that without the vacuum advance, I had to keep my foot in the throttle like halfway, almost getting into the secondaries, just to stay at 65-70 MPH. Once I got the vacuum advance dialed in, I could cruise at 65-70 MPH with the throttle just barely cracked open.
Engineers kinda knew what they were doing....In modern EFI systems its really impressive how good the OEM engineers have dialed in part throttle timing curves (tons of advance)
@@HPRaceDevelopment I am trying to duplicate vacuum advance curve with sniper efi and hyperspark system. Kinda struggling to figure out safe lean cruise afr and timing advance.
@@cfmechanic Most people try to go too lean on cruise - it usually doesn't result in better economy after a certain point - if the engine is cammed at all - I suggest stay in the middle to high 13's afr wise which will really help any mis fires or stumbles vs tryign to dial in around 14.7 ( lamda around 1....We usually deal in lamda rather than afr - lamda .92-.95 ish is good cruise) Spark wise - A good tip I heard was use a vacuum gauge ran into the car - and play with the timing while at cruise until you reach peak vacuum. Of course listen for knock - but that works really well. Numbers as high as 50 degrees low throttle are not uncommon. Eventually you can advance so much is will mis some - so that's something to listen for. Just slowly work away at it - and anything past 75 percent throttle should mimic your WOT timing curve...
@@HPRaceDevelopment awesome amazing tips. My idle is nice at 14.7 cruise is set to 13.5ish I tried 13.8 but felt too lean slight miss at steady light throttle. I'm only running around 27 degrees in cruise will follow your tips thanks.
@@cfmechanic on a car without individual cylinder control, you will find through testing that you have lean and rich cylinders that avg out to the lamda you see. The variance is huge. For this reason - you may find it best to tune for lamda .9 at cruise and wot power lamda of .84 or .85. Afr aprox 13.0 for cruise and 12.0-12.6 wot. this keeps the really lean cylinders from being say 16:1 afr
Been thinking about your next giveaway. How about one of the rc cars. Or a day with you at the shop. Winners choice. If they choose a shop day. They travel at their own expense.
I have been running E85 in my fuel injected Turbo V6 since 2019. If you are fuel injected, make sure you run a high-quality fuel filter like a IF-750 from Injector dynamics. The other thing is you need to change the oil sooner. I do it every 2k miles. When you change the oil, it will smell like the town drunk. It can get diluted with E85. It's more noticeable in the winter months. If you park the car for the winter, make sure you pickle the fuel system with gas. It will help to keep things clean and it won't gum up as it sits.
First thought, what does E85 do to the inside of the stock metal fuel tank over the winter. Is there something that keeps it from corroding the inside of the tank. Also I start my day with your videos while I have breakfast. Thanks for the quality content.
I'm seriously considering making the change to E85 based on your experience . But I'm thinking about the diaphragm in my mechanical fuel pump and do I need Teflon fuel hose from the tank to the carb.
I live in southeast Texas, e85 is considered a death sentence for a car that sits very much. Ethanol gasoline goes bad in about a month with our conditions. I love the benefits, but the negatives keep me away from it.
Hey Bill any video with Dennys in it is a good video to me he is one of my favorite people on your videos. I really love his 68camaro that is one clean car and a big block 4 speed to boot that's a win win in my book I was thinking about e85 on my big block but it's hard to fine here in Louisiana. I know it was alot cheaper then gas at one time not sure anymore. Great video good luck testing and can't Waite for your next video. Your friend from Louisiana Rick 427
I apologize for the way my comment came out saying that he didn't say that he loves his boys I know he loves his boys he was racing was his wife his whole family it just shocked me when he said at the Dennis I was blown away I love the show watch it religiously keep up the good work I'm sorry for the confusion hell I stay up to watch you guys and wait for the next post I hope you can forgive me and I hope to meet you sometime
Let's go racing boys. Well can definitely relate to Jeremy on holding on to things, then someone calling you for a rescue with one of my "precious" pieces. I have fixed so much dumb things I should have thrown out years before.
You want to use a stand alone wideband O2 with the scale from 7:1 to 10:1, best power will be around 7.5:1AFR and best mileage between 8.5:1 and 9.5:1. The ECM isn't going to give you an accurate reading because its on the gasoline scale and won't show rich enough. With your blower you should pick up a good bit of power regardless, because ethanol cools the intake charge under the blower so much, and you can give it the advance it wants rather than being worried about knocking pistons and rod bearings out of it.
Love the videos from everyone love watching all the channels and I have an old truck that been thinking to see what I have to do to it to change it to e85 but it’s all stock as far as I know and can’t find much information on what I have to do to change it over to e85 that was awesome you and your brother helping them on the truck
2 things about E85, it runs clean but doesn't like the cold weather we have in Ohio on Start-ups....😁 What I have found in my area, Speedway is my last choice, a little inconsistent on their E85. I use a local Co-Op, might be something to pay attention to. Advice for older vehicles, make sure you are compatible, maybe you can run through this Bill for the guys thinking of making the switch.
I don't remember what they did after you broke the axle but an easy upgrade is a 4th gen f body posi unit. They are 28 spline vs the Malibus 26. But also we have found that if you pull the gear back to a 3:23 or 3:42 you are less likely to strip the teeth off the pinion. But once you get into the 3:73 or lower gears that becomes a problem.
Good luck this weekend.... But might as well replace rear end so you don't have breakdowns... It is going to happen and right now that rear end would work good in Tommy's street driven truck and give him a little room for deeper wheels.
Looks like a nice carb. I need to do a economy test on my setup. I changed the PV restrictions to lower jetting on a 950 xp E85 and delayed the signal to the primarys as much as possible so cruise is nice and lean. Had to change to a 50cc up front also to remove hit stumble. Tricky to get economy with 4.30 gears th350 5000 stall and a 400 cid solid roller. 😆 But I really like that XP E85 it's a nice unit. I have my setup on my channel check it out if you have time. I love the content you guys are providing.
Those quick fuel e85 carbs are the ticket, got one for my 78 Malibu with a 400 sbc and it will print tickets all day, it’s the driver you gotta worry about lol
This was a cool lesson for us new people to racing and tuning carbs. My question is will the e-85 effect the tuning on the nitrous? I believe you will have a blast at the drag and drive events, whenever you go that would be some great content that you’ll provide to your fans. I love everything about your channel and your kids channel, you guys have been killing it. Keep it up sir and have a blessed weekend.
Hey Bill; something to consider since E85 is more detonation resistant than pump gas, is using a (slightly) higher temperature thermostat.....I know it sounds counterintuitive but, the ideal coolant temp between different fuels (ex: gas vs methanol) and different engine materials (ex: all-iron vs. all-aluminum) changes for the best thermodynamic efficiency. As said if your not knock limited, doing so can translate to more power, better fuel economy, and cleaner oil, but it it all depends on the tuneup to take full advantage of it.....I’d expect a thermostat of around 180-degrees be about the point of maximum beneficial coolant temp on E85, and up to around 200-being the point of diminishing returns or slight loss (based on what I’ve read / seen)......there’s some good content on this topic on YT where dyno water temp is swung to the high/low extremes on different fuels and the gains / losses can sometimes be surprising. BTW; my statement is based on you not having any cooling issues at the track, and it can get back down to thermostatic temp between rounds; if it that’s not the case then just ignore my comment. Keep up the good work 👍
our channel has a very extensive e85 vs pump gas video going live soon with extensive dyno work and tuning work shown
Hi Bill. So proud of you guys. Just goes to show you and Billy working together will deliver the magic. You all look to be in a good place now. 👍🏻😊

Must if running E85
1 for proper atomization engine must operate at 185 temp.
2. A blaster 2 coil is not enough to ignite ethanol. Must run a HVC coil.
3. For SBC on E85 36 deg. Is about all they like.
4. If you park your car more than a week or two you should drain the bowls and empty the Excelerator pumps. If you get gel in your carburetor like that simply fill the carburetor up with gasoline and let it sit for a day or two it will completely dissolve all the gel! No need to tear the carb apart.

It does cause leaks on my AN fitting, anything older with rubber o rings. I just change them out for teflon as they go bad. And oil changes more often due to condensation.
Hey Bill! great good to know video. E85 sounds like the ticket for the Malibu or pretty much anything. keep up the great content. be safe😀😀❤️
As long as it's reasonably available. Not so much for those like me who'd have to drive some stupid distance like 2 hours just to get to an E85 pump.
Thank you for this video. I'm glad someone finally went here. I wish you would do something on tow vehicle economy. Thanks again for your videos
You raised some kick ass boys. They took time out of there night Saturday to sing my hat. Great job this weekend.
Love seeing the 2a friendly e85 camaro.
I put my Pontiac on e85 3 years ago and it’s been like a miracle elixir. 0 issues nothing but positive results. Power, cooling, all I do is add in a bottle of e85 conditioner in the 5-6 month winter break
Thank you bill for a great video love watching you guys thanks again
Man that Camaro looks fantastic, a Big Block with a 4-speedy it doesn't get much better than that. Don't get me wrong, I would love to have the Malibu, it's looking fabulous and in my opinion running great as well and the color combo doesn't get much better either. Good luck if you go racing and if you're going to be doing that, I'd be looking for a 12-bolt rear end replacement or a 9-inch, even better yet. It's not likely your ever going to get rid of that beautiful thing anyhow, or at least I wouldn't be. Damn, I wish I had half the cars I've owned back, and at 72 years you can only imagine what that would consist of. Woops, didn't mean to go off on a tangent like that. You go racing and have a great time and enjoy yourself. 😎✌️❤️
Nice vid and enjoyed seeing a friend of yours with positive reviews after the e85 conversion
Another good video Bill God Bless you and the family!!!!@
Hey Bill, I sent you a fakebook message in messenger. I know you're all extremely busy but would you please read it when you get a chance. I love the content and everything y'all do for everybody. You're a good man and you remind me of my late dad. If not, it's perfectly fine with me. Thank you for all you do. It's amazing!!! Keep it up.
P.s. I don't want a single thing from you or anybody else.
Can’t wait to see you on a drag and drive. There are a bunch of them out there. Glad to see you having fun with that Malibu.
Great to see you and uncle bucko helping others out. Malibu sounds good . Keep on rockin.
How about a nice aluminum radiator for the Camaro. Wouldn't that make it run cooler also?
Bill thanx for all the update
Wish you all the best with your changes
You need a bigger rear axle
(12 bolt)
Good 👍Job
Love the videos! Keep ‘em coming hope Kenny and his family’s alright we never seen him in a few videos
He’s on vacation
Just thought I'd mention that my gas mileage almost doubled when I got my vacuum advance working right, engine ran much cooler too. Another thing I noticed was that without the vacuum advance, I had to keep my foot in the throttle like halfway, almost getting into the secondaries, just to stay at 65-70 MPH. Once I got the vacuum advance dialed in, I could cruise at 65-70 MPH with the throttle just barely cracked open.
Engineers kinda knew what they were doing....In modern EFI systems its really impressive how good the OEM engineers have dialed in part throttle timing curves (tons of advance)
@@HPRaceDevelopment I am trying to duplicate vacuum advance curve with sniper efi and hyperspark system. Kinda struggling to figure out safe lean cruise afr and timing advance.
@@cfmechanic Most people try to go too lean on cruise - it usually doesn't result in better economy after a certain point - if the engine is cammed at all - I suggest stay in the middle to high 13's afr wise which will really help any mis fires or stumbles vs tryign to dial in around 14.7 ( lamda around 1....We usually deal in lamda rather than afr - lamda .92-.95 ish is good cruise) Spark wise - A good tip I heard was use a vacuum gauge ran into the car - and play with the timing while at cruise until you reach peak vacuum. Of course listen for knock - but that works really well. Numbers as high as 50 degrees low throttle are not uncommon. Eventually you can advance so much is will mis some - so that's something to listen for. Just slowly work away at it - and anything past 75 percent throttle should mimic your WOT timing curve...
@@HPRaceDevelopment awesome amazing tips. My idle is nice at 14.7 cruise is set to 13.5ish I tried 13.8 but felt too lean slight miss at steady light throttle. I'm only running around 27 degrees in cruise will follow your tips thanks.
@@cfmechanic on a car without individual cylinder control, you will find through testing that you have lean and rich cylinders that avg out to the lamda you see. The variance is huge. For this reason - you may find it best to tune for lamda .9 at cruise and wot power lamda of .84 or .85. Afr aprox 13.0 for cruise and 12.0-12.6 wot. this keeps the really lean cylinders from being say 16:1 afr
Been thinking about your next giveaway. How about one of the rc cars. Or a day with you at the shop. Winners choice. If they choose a shop day. They travel at their own expense.
I have been running E85 in my fuel injected Turbo V6 since 2019. If you are fuel injected, make sure you run a high-quality fuel filter like a IF-750 from Injector dynamics. The other thing is you need to change the oil sooner. I do it every 2k miles. When you change the oil, it will smell like the town drunk. It can get diluted with E85. It's more noticeable in the winter months. If you park the car for the winter, make sure you pickle the fuel system with gas. It will help to keep things clean and it won't gum up as it sits.
First thought, what does E85 do to the inside of the stock metal fuel tank over the winter. Is there something that keeps it from corroding the inside of the tank. Also I start my day with your videos while I have breakfast. Thanks for the quality content.
Good question, however I’ve never had an issue with corrosion in a steel tank. The corrosion problems always seem to involve bare aluminum.
I'm seriously considering making the change to E85 based on your experience . But I'm thinking about the diaphragm in my mechanical fuel pump and do I need Teflon fuel hose from the tank to the carb.
I live in southeast Texas, e85 is considered a death sentence for a car that sits very much. Ethanol gasoline goes bad in about a month with our conditions. I love the benefits, but the negatives keep me away from it.
Hey Bill any video with Dennys in it is a good video to me he is one of my favorite people on your videos. I really love his 68camaro that is one clean car and a big block 4 speed to boot that's a win win in my book I was thinking about e85 on my big block but it's hard to fine here in Louisiana. I know it was alot cheaper then gas at one time not sure anymore. Great video good luck testing and can't Waite for your next video. Your friend from Louisiana Rick 427
I love watching your videos and seeing familiar places. Down around Zanesville was my old stomping grounds 🤙
Love learning from ya Bill thanks for all the hard work!
1st gen Camaros are such sweet looking rides
I apologize for the way my comment came out saying that he didn't say that he loves his boys I know he loves his boys he was racing was his wife his whole family it just shocked me when he said at the Dennis I was blown away I love the show watch it religiously keep up the good work I'm sorry for the confusion hell I stay up to watch you guys and wait for the next post I hope you can forgive me and I hope to meet you sometime
This is a vibe there’s more than just cars
Great video. 102,000 and climbing. Hopefully 200k by end of the yr. Yall deserve it.
Can't get enough of all you guys, gals and of course the pups.....y'all make my day......Keep up the good work 👍 🏁🏁🏁
I’m still learning e85 on my car had a hard time for start up being in northern Ontario. But overall I love it. Great for bracket racing.
Let's go racing boys. Well can definitely relate to Jeremy on holding on to things, then someone calling you for a rescue with one of my "precious" pieces. I have fixed so much dumb things I should have thrown out years before.
As soon as you throw it out its needed!!!!
I’ve always been told to tune E85 as you would c110. I don’t know how true that is, but my 2003 cobra makes 100+ rwhp more on E85 vs 91 with torco
You want to use a stand alone wideband O2 with the scale from 7:1 to 10:1, best power will be around 7.5:1AFR and best mileage between 8.5:1 and 9.5:1. The ECM isn't going to give you an accurate reading because its on the gasoline scale and won't show rich enough. With your blower you should pick up a good bit of power regardless, because ethanol cools the intake charge under the blower so much, and you can give it the advance it wants rather than being worried about knocking pistons and rod bearings out of it.
Love the videos from everyone love watching all the channels and I have an old truck that been thinking to see what I have to do to it to change it to e85 but it’s all stock as far as I know and can’t find much information on what I have to do to change it over to e85 that was awesome you and your brother helping them on the truck
2 things about E85, it runs clean but doesn't like the cold weather we have in Ohio on Start-ups....😁 What I have found in my area, Speedway is my last choice, a little inconsistent on their E85. I use a local Co-Op, might be something to pay attention to. Advice for older vehicles, make sure you are compatible, maybe you can run through this Bill for the guys thinking of making the switch.
Turkey Hill always has the best E around here.
Great video Bill! I am wanting to convert my Camaro LT1 build to e85 soon. Can't wait to see the difference it makes for you at the track!
Good to see Rob was on his feet at garage,get well.
I don't remember what they did after you broke the axle but an easy upgrade is a 4th gen f body posi unit. They are 28 spline vs the Malibus 26. But also we have found that if you pull the gear back to a 3:23 or 3:42 you are less likely to strip the teeth off the pinion. But once you get into the 3:73 or lower gears that becomes a problem.
Good luck this weekend.... But might as well replace rear end so you don't have breakdowns... It is going to happen and right now that rear end would work good in Tommy's street driven truck and give him a little room for deeper wheels.
Put the tri carbs on 327 for the 55!! Would cool!!
Very informative for a newbie to e85 like myself
Thanks for the video today from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
Bill I love you guy's,an the Malibu looks good,keep doing what you do
Another great episode Bill 👍👍😎.
Jeremy came through for those guy's.so let's give him a big SHOUT OUT ,,for that.👍👍😎
Denny's not messin around. Carjackers BEWARE ;) Them mag mounts work great!
Because it’s a top question today… Kenny has been out of town with Harlie’s family but they will be back soon! 😊
Looks like a nice carb. I need to do a economy test on my setup. I changed the PV restrictions to lower jetting on a 950 xp E85 and delayed the signal to the primarys as much as possible so cruise is nice and lean. Had to change to a 50cc up front also to remove hit stumble. Tricky to get economy with 4.30 gears th350 5000 stall and a 400 cid solid roller. 😆 But I really like that XP E85 it's a nice unit. I have my setup on my channel check it out if you have time. I love the content you guys are providing.
Thanks for the free education on E85 Bill .
Hi guys. Loving the content. Where is our friend Kenny Powers?
Those quick fuel e85 carbs are the ticket, got one for my 78 Malibu with a 400 sbc and it will print tickets all day, it’s the driver you gotta worry about lol
Uncle Bucko “You Summoned the god” lol, he’s a trip….
This was a cool lesson for us new people to racing and tuning carbs. My question is will the e-85 effect the tuning on the nitrous? I believe you will have a blast at the drag and drive events, whenever you go that would be some great content that you’ll provide to your fans. I love everything about your channel and your kids channel, you guys have been killing it. Keep it up sir and have a blessed weekend.
Hey Bill; something to consider since E85 is more detonation resistant than pump gas, is using a (slightly) higher temperature thermostat.....I know it sounds counterintuitive but, the ideal coolant temp between different fuels (ex: gas vs methanol) and different engine materials (ex: all-iron vs. all-aluminum) changes for the best thermodynamic efficiency. As said if your not knock limited, doing so can translate to more power, better fuel economy, and cleaner oil, but it it all depends on the tuneup to take full advantage of it.....I’d expect a thermostat of around 180-degrees be about the point of maximum beneficial coolant temp on E85, and up to around 200-being the point of diminishing returns or slight loss (based on what I’ve read / seen)......there’s some good content on this topic on YT where dyno water temp is swung to the high/low extremes on different fuels and the gains / losses can sometimes be surprising.
BTW; my statement is based on you not having any cooling issues at the track, and it can get back down to thermostatic temp between rounds; if it that’s not the case then just ignore my comment.
Keep up the good work 👍
Take care of Denny!!!!
Never seen e85 gel like that!!!
