@thesteelrodent1796 9 месяцев назад

@@Schlipperschlopper not "soon", and definitely not within the next century. There is still no viable alternative. EVs are still a gimmick, battery technology is ages away from being good enough for EVs to fully replace other vehicles, and until fusion reactors become a reality, worldwide electrity production will not be adequate to fully replace all vehicles with EV equivalents. The production of li-ion batteries is still massively polluting and destroys the planet, and the materials that go into the batteries cannot be reclaimed - they're harder to recycle than lead acid batteries and once broken down, cannot be turned into new batteries. Personal vehicles are doomed no matter what, but it will be a long time and require a drastic event before the world's countries realize they need to invest in proper alternate solutions

I just watched an episode of "Uncle Tony's Garage" which featured the Chrysler EFI developed during the '50s. According to Tony an electronics engineer bought one of these '58 EFI equipped cars recently. It had been converted to carburetors but a fellow enthusiast told him he knew a guy who was a Chrysler dealer in the '50s who still had an original '58 EFI setup on a shelf at his garage. The engineer bought it and restored the engine to original specs. It ran like crap! He decided to find out why. He started running tests and traced the problem to the paper/foil capacitors in the control module. It turns out they were fragile and VULNERABLE TO EMF RADIATION! While testing the cars, Chrysler engineers were driving them on test tracks or rural areas and they ran fine. When they sold the cars and customers began driving them "in town" they would pass by Neon signs, radio stations and other sources of radio emissions which would make the EFI injection go haywire. The electronic engineer who had the car replaced all the old original capacitors with modern ones and the car ran beautifully. Tony headlined the car as the only EFI equipped '58 Chrysler in existence but watching this video reminded me of Pers 300D. I know Per has upgraded his engine as well and it runs great! I thought you might enjoy this bit of automotive history (trivia) :) BTW, I wish to compliment Per on the superb job he did on his 300D! I know for you guys, it's just another day at the shop but I want to go on record as saying I appreciate the wonderful work done at Big Dog!

@michaelibey6700 4 года назад

I really enjoyed your story, BECAUSE, many years ago a fella bought a VW TYPE 3 Squareback. Once in a while, when he drove by the local US. Air Force base, it would conk out. After a while, it was determined that something at the base would interfere with the Squareback's computer. He stopped driving near the base and everything was good. Radar of some kind they figured.

@edwardwerick2420 4 года назад

in the early post-war era when electronics were a cutting edge science, there were few people who understood the effects of EMF radiation on devices that relied on electric current to operate. The key word is "magnetic" and the profound effect it has on these devices is noteworthy. The challenges involved in transmitting, shielding and controlling magnetic energy. are immense. I believe the only person who understood the relationship between magnetism and electricity even partly was Nicola Tesla and his work was ruthlessly suppressed by those who sought to amass a fortune through the sale and control of electrical power. Tesla dreamt of free electrical power transmitted wirelessly over the entire earth. This did not fit in the plans of those who sought to control and profit by this technology and so it was suppressed. I am happy to live in a Capitalist society but it can have it's down side and this is an example of such. I still believe that the pluses outweigh the minuses and the minuses are being dealt with however slowly. In the meantime, we can enjoy fiddling with the occasional examples of how our ignorance of these phenomena cause havoc in our daily lives. Cheers!

(Of course, it doesn't hurt that she's a first gen Hemi Mopar, either. :-)) Jay goes from boss and/or owner here to being presenter/fellow admirer - not to mention, these guys are no doubt longtime buddies, too.

@triangleofdeath6246 4 года назад

@@ldnwholesale8552 Yep, unfortunately, 1957 and 1958 Chryslers were notorious for rust issues, even way back then. It was bad enough that people were bringing the cars back for rust repairs. These "forward Look" Mopars were a huge hit when they came out, and Chrysler saw what was probably its strongest sales figures to date when they came out! Then came the issues with the Chryslers rusting, and the Plymouths rattling, which cost them big. They fixed it for 1959, but the damage was done. It was a black eye for Chrysler, who was known for being "The Engineering company". They made a beautiful car, but rushed to get them in for 1957, and forgot to do their rustproofing. They goofed up and did it again in 1976, with the Dodge Aspen/Plymouth Volare twins. Long Story short, those 1957 and 58 Chryslers are beautiful, but look out for rust.

I am Swedish and i agree. Can´t explain why. But there are thousands of classic US cars here. And in absolutely every town, city and village, there is always someone. I live in a very small village in a rural area. And it´s common to see a 50´s Cadillac, and a few more. My friend has a Camaro. And 10 minutes away is another tiny village. There we actually have a museum with plenty US classics. And also. Another guy has started a restaurant with real American 50´s feeling. Every evening, people drive there in their own classics. Oh, i forgot... 30 minutes away is also a much bigger "real" museum with a huge collection. And this is only one of many. Last but not least, in the same area we have a high end shop that restore US cars. And that is run by another Swede that have been working in the US on restoring cars. And the crazy thing is that i am not even surprised of all this. Look up Mjöbäck in the south of Sweden. All i talk about is around this little tiny village. I guess we really like the American way of life here.

@rossawood5075 Год назад

Both New Zealand and Australia also have large numbers of resto USA cars and a considerable number were actually assembled in right hand drive in Australia. Chryslers, Desoto's, Dodge's were assembled in Adelaide, South Australia and the build quality was often better, revised springs were sometimes installed to suit Australian road conditions. As in California Nevada, Arizona the dry hotter Southern Australian weather allowed better longetivity from rust. In the early 70's I owned an Australian assembled right hand drive 1959 Desoto Firesweep with the 361 BB Torqueflite, however this would equate to the US 1958 model, regret selling it. Ford Australia even made 1953 through 1958 (I think) two door utilities known as a Mainline coupe utility. Thes were Customlines with a Ranchero style rear predating the El Comino Chevs and Rancheros. They were fitted with 272 or 292 Y blocks and exported to New Zealand and some to South Africa. GM Ford and Chrysler built Australian versions of American cars until very recently including the 2 door Pontiac Transam which was a left hand drive version of an Australian designed and built Holden (GM Australia) Monaro and exported to the US.

Fuel Injection !!!? That'll NEVER catch on!

@frankdenardo8684 5 лет назад

Reginald Bowls Volkswagen in 1967 introduced electronic fuel injection. other cars followed suit. in 1975, Cadillac introduced the Seville which was equipped with a Bosch throttle body injection system. also the Datsun 280-Z and the Opel came equipped. by the 1990's it is the norm on every car. you better distribution and meets EPA along with carb requirements.

@keptinkaos6384 5 лет назад

@taelorwatson9822 5 лет назад

Yeah, that's the more important stuff. Cause people look at the 10 HP increase and say "wasn't worth it" or "of course they gave it away", but, there's the fuel efficiency that was the big deal. Frankly, they sold the gold laying goose as far as i'm concerned. Bosch made big money off it.

@Mercmad 5 лет назад

The original fuel injection was made by Bendix (another swede name) . It could have worked but it was beyond the understanding of most mechanics of the day. So Bendix Corp. sold it to Bosch who sold it to VW for use on the type 3 and it became the Djet ,which still work fine today. It's real automotive stoneage stuff though,no oxy sensor and no diagnostic ports or codes,so it's as Per Described the Bendix system,no actual computer like today,just a switch box with transistors using the heat,air temp and manifold vacuum to measure fuel delivery against the throttle position switch ,which activates the injectors.

@knote4958 5 лет назад

Even though the unit didn't work too well, let's not overlook the fact that in 1958 Chrysler was introducing electronic fuel injection and in-tank fuel pumps.

@@BuzzLOLOL Many, many videos when, I assume post editing, do not have the sound up to the levels they need to be. Someone editing may be wearing headphones and think sound levels are just fine. But, as you said, different systems have different outputs. I have noticed that many recordings of music seem to have the audio set right--likely because the people putting them up are highly aware of audio--but some videos with a lot of dialog are recorded way low. Your sound should be peaking right below the level of distortion when you do your edit, allowing the listener to set the audio to their level of comfort--but this is not always the case.
