This video is just what i was lookin for .. is there also a timing mark under the ip cover..wish you would have went into detail on that to or maybe that is irrelevant..just tryin to learn
I purchased one of these carbs to try out the annular boosters on my '66 Mustang. After a year of messing with it, like all of these videos showed and adding a phenolic spacer, I decided to go back to my trusty Holley 1850. Heat soak was NEVER an issue with the Holley, with no spacer. Much like an Edelbrock carb, I think the problem with the Summits is that the aluminum body and integrated float bowls transfer too much heat. With the a Holley there are a couple thermal brakes in the form of gaskets between the body and the metering block and the between the bowl and the metering block. My Summit went on eBay and the Holley is back on the car. The car dying in traffic made the Summit dangerous.
Looks like where you welded the pieces end to end could be a potential weak point. Should have added a piece of flat stock lapping over the butt weld by at least 12” either side
It's a heavily-modified Hygain CB antenna that I've long since lost the dimensions. I'm planning to pull it down and adjust/log the dimensions in a future video.
I recently p bought a summit carb the 750 had two excelerator pumps on it a double pumper. I was on a stroked 360 it's a 408 now it has a truck flow heads on it The carburetor was it ran good it was a little bit powerful but it was kind of a dog and I like my Holly spread board a lot better and all kinds of power so I called summit and told them that I want to send the carburetor back to them yhe told me i could try rejetting it and add larger 60 cc pump on the secondary they have a kit that has a new pump housing and accelerator pump and a new spring forward and the hardware to operate it so I bought two of them and put one in the front of one in the back and then I took a drill and drilled out the offices on the accelerator pump squirters are jetted it up but almost five complete sizes from where it was and I'll tell you what this carburetor runs like good now it has so much power is better than the devil bumpers I have
I have made this from 450 ohm ladder line, it was called a sloppy J, I put this in a pvc tube and used that as my first 2 meter antenna for at least my first year, now I use the same antenna as fieldday antenna. 73 pd5rv
Thank you Rick! Great information about this old but very functional antenna. Just bought 40,20,17, and super 15 coils today from my local CB/commercial radio shop. They did not have a mast though. I have a 2005 F-150, where would you mount these? NMO mount on top or stake pocket drivers side or my aluminum toolbox? I’m looking for ideas: first though I have is 22” mast on top of my truck where the NMO is with spring. That is contrary to the antenna current theory, so I’m not liking it. Next idea, stake pocket with a 90° mirror mount with 54” mast, spring on bottom, QD on top, with the resonator on top of that(probably the best plan). Third idea, use same as second idea just mounted on the back of the truck toolbox. It is aluminum so I would put a piece of Steel on the inside to beef up the metal. 4th idea, mount in my 2” receiver with 3/8-24 lug, with the same spring, 54” solid mast, QD, then resonator on top.

It looks like you have interference on the 40m band probably from your power supply. I have exactly the same spikes on 80m band with preamp enabled. Anyway I'm happy that got FIELD version as I see now what the crap is that original speaker.
I would love to see CBers DIYing their antennas. There are lots of overpriced garbage antennas out there, you'd be surprised how effective 6.5m of wire and a homemade 49:1 can be. You can buy a $200 antron, or drop $10 and an hour of your time on something that works better anyway. Also directional antennas you can build yourself as well. I've never tried building a yagi for anything bigger than 2m, but the tape measure abomination I made worked very well.
Nothing compares to the viscous fan, it pulls lots of air and cools not only the radiator but also the whole engine bay and surroundings under bonnet. Look at the viscous blades at 2500rpm they suck air like a Boeing, electric fan can only dream of that air volumes.
I enjoyed your video because I like mobile HF and I also like Hustler antennas. I am Jack Daniel / KF5SGC. Thanks and 73. PS You probably already know but Hustler makes a part, VP-1, which is a part that can be attached to the mast that you can attach 3 resonators at the same time and work 3 bands without having to stop the vehicle to change resonators.
As mush as the radio is nice, the speaker seems to simply be a matching $100 money grab. If you want the look to match, your mod is fantastic but boy its a lot of work
If you had the right adapter you wouldn't need that "short piece of coax", you should clarify that. Your using two adapters and coax instead of one adapter.
I have been an 11m (cb) operator for 55yrs now. My mentor a silent key was an extra class amateur radio operator taught me alot about antenna's/equipment which I still use today. Even though alot of equipment has went to surface mount technology I for one still remain with the through-hole technology which I think will alway be better. My knowledge/experience has helped me remain atop of the competition over the year's due to the competitiveness of other operator's and will continue to get better until my last breath on earth.
Before I go criticizing this video and the previous one he made on this topic... I must ask what is your radio of choice? What do you use when you decide to sit down and make some HF contacts? Do you have any hearing issues (do you hear better on one side? Long term noise exposure? etc...)? I do, after years of punk\metal playing with no hearing protection and tons of time at the gun club, low tone or bass-y voices muffle because I do not hear mids, and highs so well. I hear plenty of lows, I need to turn up the treble and mids. This radio does exactly that. The AESS system is not focused on low fatigue tone... IT IS focused on phenome clarity. How well you understand words received. For me it does that very well. It is a great radio. So my thought is... What price point of radios do you prefer to use? There are radios doubling in price, that do sound much better. The Kenwood TS 990 and 890. If you use the TS990 then yea your gonna hate the FT710 and many many other popular radios. So what is your favorite hf rig?
LOL it is interesting, your video stating a distaste for the radio convinced me to buy one. For me, the more lows on the sound is harder to differentiate the phenomes. With the AESS focusing it's ability to make the speech easier to understand not necessarily a better sound. Mixed with the notch filter I get great audio out of mine. Also the appeal of a radio's sound also comes down to the ear of the beholder. Meaning we all have different hearing. Some people hear high pitched tones better, some low pitched tones better, some mid range tones are better and then add how our hearing diminishes. I hear less high frequencies than I used to (age and exposure to loud noises over the decades), so for me the AESS system rocks., also an internal equalizer you can adjust as well. I had to throw in my 2 cents, I love my FT-710.
@Rick's Shop Building a GMRS collinear antenna! ... 1di0t SERIUSLY ... PLEASE LOOK IN A ANTENNA BOOK... ARRL THIS DIPOL HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TITEL .. OTTER M0R0N IF YOU ARE A HAM GET YOU´R MONEY BACK .. IF YOU ARE´NT A HAM .. STUDY TO BE ON. YOU REALY NEED TO KNOW WHAT A COLINIEAR ANTENNA IS... AND A FUK1NG DIPOL AIN´T IT
Thank you for the video, i also made this just i put inside damping material also. All the best! '73s ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NhqPiCBAneU.html
The end of the tape measure is not sloppy. It moves to account for the thickness of the end. It’s short when you push it against a wall but extends when you hang it over a lip and pull.
did some testing on chokes done this way. the cross over and reverse of windings lowers the choking ability. Best cmc choking was on a 240-31 core with 11 turns all one way gave the best cmc resistance from 1.8 Mhz up above 54Mhz.
I have a 2700 that worked good. I changed my timing chain on my 1982 E150 351 Windsor and it runs good until it gets to 3rd gear at 46 mph, then bogs down badly until it gets down to about 35 mph. I messed with all carb adjustments and it still bogs down. Any ideas what I can adjust?
Sure! I did exactly that in the two meter version here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lpilADTKD6k.html Remember though, with bare copper the velocity factor changes and the wire dimensions will have to be a bit longer.
Ordered 2 from PE. Thought I'd put away a spare. Nice work! Ever seen a solution to keeping the speaker mounted permanently so it is not a lift off to remove?
The average person like myself isn't going to buy a Meter just for a single antenna installation. Great video otherwise. I'm looking to install a simple base antenna for my HT GMRS radios to use once in a while.
Thanks for the video! Not much info out there on these so very helpful! I have one on a pinto engine in a kit car I inherited from my grandfather. It seems to be running ok except sometimes on acceleration the rpms will drop from say 1000 to 300, almost dying but usually coming back up to normal shortly after and accelerating fine. Any idea if that sounds like an issue cause by this carb?
