I've been supporting the channel since the beginning (my name is on the lift) , but its hard to see this stuff in the videos. The original source of the phrase is racism about as simplified as you can get, which means of course it appeals to ultra-nationalists with concepts of purity or 'good old days.' Its just about destroyed America at this point, what's the harm in destroying another country too? Cool concept, build, and ride, just sad that anyone could think that hat is anything but anything but a packaging of the wearer into communal rage for profit. It ain't my mates, ain't my channel, ain't my build, ain't my anything but it still tarnishes it a bit

@CurtisBowman40 2 года назад

The 'make carbies great again' comment made me laugh. I despise them, give me a laptop and a table any day vs fiddling with a screwdriver. First and last carburetor I rebuilt, the float stuck open and I melted the air cleaner because of the fire from it dumping too much fuel.

@adamscully4397 2 года назад

Moving the engine back 300mm, means it's almost behind the front axles, so does that mean it could technically be classed as a mid engine...? A bit like Jared from Wrench Every Day's Johnnie Rev? I'm sure it helps it handle better as well. Cool concept for a vehicle, although not too sure on the carbies. I've got triple side draft carbs on a 265 Hemi in an old Valiant and man it's a pig to start if it hasn't been driven for a couple of weeks. I can empathise with the clip of attempting to start it at the KFC carpark at the end - the pain is real!

Also a Datsun 120Y.... with a Hillman Avenger Alpine (duplex chain to cam) 1600 engine....turboed. It could leave skids marks from both rear wheels up to 3rd gear..and break the tyres loose momentarily on acceleration at over 100mph. To keep the engine together @ 8000rpm he made solid billet steel rockers.... all done before electronic engine management in the late 70's/early 80's.

@GeFeldz 2 года назад

The quadrajet in my 1968 Cadillac DeVille convertible seems very reliable and i'm getting 18 liters per 100 km with a 1300 kg caravan going 80 km/h... If it ever fails i might look into an EFI replacement. Starts up fine with one step on the gas (acc pump) when cold and with just the key when warm. EDIT: The Cadillac has a 472 cubic inch / 7.7 liter Cadillac big block with 10:1 compression and 375 hp/700NM, although that's the old american gross hp. The power should be more like 275-300 at the crank, the torque is pretty impressive though and it jumps off the line pretty quick for 5.75 meters of american steel at about 2200 kg.

@bgdwiepp 2 года назад

I dunno why but to me that seems like a trigger sync issue more than a carby issue, the extra cranking didn't really seem to "help" it, it didn't seem like it was cranking and then would slowly sputter then catch, it seemed like you cranked it and once or twice it would spark then do nothing, but if you cycle the key it fires straight up.
