I'm a Mopar Dude, But Mr.Glidden had an illustrious Career with Ford, but in 1979 with Mopar, but back with Ford in 1979!!! I appreciate you Mr.Glidden!!! Mopar Nate, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania R.I.P
Ford put a small block into production with racing heads on it in late 1969. The 351 Cleveland, Bob Glidden caused upper management at Chevrolet toMarch upstairs to the tower at a lot of racetracks to try and shut that little small block down, it didn't work..lol
My Uncle Bob IS a LEGEND! I learned my competitive edge from Uncle Bob and my awesome Father, his brother. They were slaves (sharecroppers). When will Hollywood make a movie about my family???
My Dad, drafted to fight in Vietnam, would've been a RACING LEGEND too. But Vietnam was not a choice for my Dad. I'm very proud of my Uncle Bob, Aunt Etta and my cousins Billy and Rusty. Shannon, Billy's wife, is also a LEGEND. WHY HASN'T HOLLYWOOD MADE ABOUT MY FAMILY?
Men like Bob Glidden are a very rare breed and his wife could drive a car also a true gentleman to the sport of drag racing wish alot More of today's drivers was like him
Saved me a bunch of time! Was all prepared to remove the intake to get to the sending unit, but you guided me past that not-so-wonderful bracket. Much obliged!!
the rear end = very important correct power to each side is where a straight line launch counts = lot`s of work and what great motors ! - thank you bob drag racing loved it all ! At 15:00 you are seeing a 427 sohc engine tear down ! rather nice.
Did they train all the GM and MOPAR guys to say that? We understand, it's hard admitting FoMoCo > the rest. He out muscled everyone fair and square and your crying will never change history.
He drove the chevy and dodge and AMC guys crazy they had a very hard time to beat him I’m a Cleveland guy for long time it’s all in the heads only ford small block with production canted valve heads 4v closed chamber plus those huge 2.19 intake valves
I remember Bob coming to Va and buying all of Tex Shultz 429 stuff that he had after Tex changed to funny cars with his daughters Roberta and Linda . just happen to be there that day was great to stand close t sombody who i read about in magazines and he carried the ford banner which i was a ford guy . thanks for the memories bob
Back when Pro Stock was Pro Stock. Today's Pro Stock is a total joke! NHRA'S favoritism towards GM has been slowly killing the class since the middle 90's, which explains why NHRA is losing fans! The Pro Stock class is what the fans mainly came to see. The factory wars, FORD vs chivy-let vs slopar. Today's Pro Stock is a joke, and boring AF! Be that as it may, Bob and Dyno were my all time faves! RIP Bob and Dyno.
Hey man great video! I have the exact same problem with my 2016 Sonata right now, I just changed the oil sending unit and cleaned the connectors that were full of oil. But I'm still having the same problem with the dash lights coming on. I cleaned the 1 pin connector and the I think it's a 10 pin connector up on the intake. Did I miss something?
Bob was a true Champion 🏆 And the Glidden family was the best, hard working family in drag racing. They sure made us Ford people proud.....RIP Bob, we sure do miss you
It's a good video! But I have a question ,, is it the oil sending unit??? Or is it the oil sensor? I asked because I believe there are two different parts am I correct? Or are they the same thing?
Never liked top fuel, funny cars. It's not even a car. Tubed chassis, no transmission. Never figured out what that proves. All car no driving. I could teach a 12 year old to hold a steering wheel.
We recently had this issue. It is the turbo vacuum pump. 1500 job by the dealership. We are getting rid of this trash as soon as we possibly can. However Hyundai’s do not hold any value so we are VERY deep in negative equity because of that
Awesome footage. Bob was absolutely the Best. Always an underdog with his Ford, he was usually the Only one with a Ford, Ricky Smith drove a Ford also, but wasn't at most of the races. Bob will always be my favorite Drag Racer, he was such a hard worker, and it showed. He simply dominated the Pro Stock class. Bob, Etta, Billy, and Rusty were quite a team. RIP Bob, you will always be the Best. You are truly missed.
