Billy has been busy at the Machine Shop, so I took the opportunity to dial in the Mustang N/A to hopefully get a set of spark plugs to last more than a couple hours. The result was certainly worth it.
That’s awesome TERRY brings you Parts by on his way home! More people need to go back being more like us Old Timers and learn that this is how life long honorable relationships are built with HOSPITALITY & HELPING HIS FELLOW MAN! My hat’s 🎩Off to UNCLE TERRY 😁👍
I formed a few great friendships from my time working a parts counter as a young man. one of them is still storing my first car for me while I figure my life out.
Very true CC Rider I had 2 body shop that bought all their aftermarket panels from mine and my dad's business and on the way home if they needed anything and had time to wait for me stop by I always took care of their need on my way home built 2 incredible relationships with both and you could never get away without a hour hour and half just hanging out bsing and having a good time kinda miss those days sometime
I'd just like to say..... It sure is nice to see you and JR. back together working on projects . It has definitely been fun to watch the shenanigans run rampant with these street cars....... God Bless
Agreed!! The old man and Jr remind me of my father and me so much it's unreal we've had the fallouts and we've had the big loving moments the same as Bill and Billy but one thing for sure is no matter what we are always there for one another. I wish and hope nothing but the best for this entire family!
Father and son's all back at it like normal. So glad the family is firing on all 8, the love your family has for each other really comes through in the videos because everyone is having fun and doing it together. Team SRC 💯👍💪
Bill, you are a wealth of knowledge and I listen to you intently even though I will never build another race car cuz I am 70 years old unfortunately I am retired living on my social security check but back in the day we didn't have nitrous we didn't know nothing about nitrous everything we ran was high compression big carburetors but I do enjoy listening to you so from the Old Man in Tampa Florida may God bless and keep you all safe
I am the same as you David. I’m going on 72 and I enjoy Bill’s tutorials of the why and how to’s. When I stopped drag racing, nitrous had just come out and It ruined a lot of classic cars by not being used correctly by today’s standards.
Going on 68 i have a 91 302 foxbody trying to learn. Still work part time to pay the bills. Still enjoy driving my retirement project. Still running rich but working on that first,lol
Knew we should have taken a crack at the Mustang with the AMX right when he got it, he's WAY out of our league now! Great to see you guys working smiling and laughing together and making your respective rides better and better. Hmmm... wonder how much spray that little AMC 304 can take... ;) Btw... nice new hat!
You floored me talking about burn speeds and remembering what I studied in tech school studying engines and rod ratios, bore to stroke ratios and woke up alot of my studies on on center blocks and long rodding an engine to get a good rod angle and all that stuff. I had my 60th yesterday and am studying cylinder head design and chamber design believe it or not and getting with Drag boss garage and MLB to name a few. My dad told me a mechanic never retires, he just stays home more
I swear this is the BEST way to start my day before I leave for work..keep up the great work Bill and this Ohio boy cant wait to meet you and your family
That was an excellent explanation on nitrous, fuel and timing. I have seen a lot of cars blow the hoods off their car at the line with nitrous because of exactly what you described. It makes a very beautiful flame especially at night.
Would be great to see a nitrous dos/donts video for the beginner guys, I haven’t seen a lot of basic info on it like your explanation of the backfire scenario. Would be extremely helpful to see that put out, keep up the awesome videos 👍👍👍
Hey Bill, I very much enjoy the technical data you give us. Every time you do this it gives me a whole new level of respect for you and the knowledge you possess. Having said all that, please do not waste your time with Billy talking to us. I would give anything to have a little more time with my Dad. These are some if the times Billy will look back on after you're gone. I'm only trying to share something I have learned after it was too late.
Thank. You for the info on the fuel and timing. You have settled along time subject disagreement with a life long friend. Now he is running better than ever. My hats is off to you with a big THANK YOU for teaching the art of fine tuning.
Great info!! Nitrous is Fun and an easy way to get some power. But these days it’s almost cheaper to boost it. I have about $800 in my turbo set up for my g body. Very basic, clean and reliable. I can drive this car everywhere and run mid 6’s on 93 pump 🤘
Bill, awsome suprise with the video drop, I needed this. It's funny that chevy wants nothing to do with that Malibu one of my dogs is the same way after a full throttle experience in my truck lol. Also That was a good explanation of the do's and don't with a nitrous engines for those who don't understand. I dropped a video earlier today, you should check it out. Anyway good video as always. Take care buddy... Adam
It`s great to see you and Billy working together again. You two busting each others balls is hilarious. Let`s not forget Uncle Bucko, he is a piece of work. You really need to hide your favorite foods from Paige, lol. Love it when you chipmunk Miss Vicki. Thanks for the nitrous and timing lesson. Safe trip to get Billy`s engine. Stay safe all, God Bless.
The Old Man is a treasure trove of great information learned from experience. Sometimes, you just know who to take advice from. He is exactly that guy...
I’ve helped friends with small block Fords off and on for years. Never thought my son would own one. But here we are, and honestly I’m impressed with it for what it is. It runs really good.
Had to hit pause to say.. I love the racing content.. But this right here.. The way you help Billy, how you stop and explain things and make it so simple to understand.. This is why you all are the BEST at what you do. This is why I watch. Thanks for another BANGER Bill. Kudos to you and yours.
From gatlinburg tn. I've been doing hvac work since I was 19 I'm currently 37. I first started working on automobiles. 500 microns with no decay your good. BUCKO I could do that in a day. Quality does take time tho. Either way y'all are awesome. I watch every video on each channel. Thanks for the content.
Watching this video brought back so many memories of my best friend my Dad...your boys are blessed in having a dad like you Bill....hope to meet your family one day at a race event...cheers!
Knowledge gained from years of experience, trial and error is invaluable. We really appreciate you trying to share some of that knowledge with us. Thanks for the great content Bill!
It sure is great that your managing to swing several videos per week. I truly hope that your able to get back into that Nova of yours soon. I realise that the Malibu is more suited for a Drag Week type event, but it sure would be great to see father & son out there both in their Novas. Both Nova's on a hoodie would be killer...
dude, buddy, bro, Bill....we need more than 1 video a week, any content in your shop is better than no content! come on Bill you got us fiening over here!!!
Little blue oval runs good ! So awesome to see you and Billy laughing and joking with each other . Looking forward to seeing the Mustang and the Malibu hooking up on the street .Keep the great videos coming.
Man I wished you had this channel back when I had my firebird. It was running mid 11. The way you explain stuff is very understandable and if I could have applied it to my bird, it would be running mid to low 10's or faster. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Well said on the timing and fuel burn rates, Bill. Very well said! By the way, I just found out my 66 Biscayne 396 is a complete, numbers matching car! If you're watching, just wait 'til you hear the carburetor story!
I literally grew up on David Vizard turbo, Nitrous, methanol and Alternative fuel Ak Miller and Jay Storer books. So I loved what you said. But I was interested mostly in the Homemade jam and the Fix Or Repair Daily. With them, you've always got Work... 🥝✔️
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE SEEING THE OLD MAN BUMPING INTO HIS SON AT THE PARTS STORE AND THEN TOMMY GETS SCHOOLED STRAIGHT FROM THE MOUTH OF DAD, THE ALL KNOWING FATHER FIGURE!!! Your videos are so well done and awesome!!!
I'm building a g body grand prix street car and I really enjoy the information and great time you all share in the shop. My Dad passed away several years ago and I really miss the times we all shared in our shop building race cars. I'm hoping it will bring my family together in our shop soon. Thank you for all the g body information.
Loved it Bill!!! Always great stuff!! Billys car sounded killer on that hit.. Its alive!!! Its alive!!!! Definitely some wholesome stuff there brother man!!! Uncle BuckoS theme song when in his presence is George Thorogood's bad to the bone!!lol Whole family rocks. Best of luck and safe trip guys!!!
Hey big fella, really enjoying this channel.. loving the family dynamics.. family that race together stay together.. Il put another order in on shirts to represent 🇦🇺🇦🇺
Its cool to see you help Billy be faster & he helps you be faster. Usually its each to their own & see who's fastest, so that just goes to show how selfish you're not. Keep it up src & omg gang
Hell Ya tech talk !! Old school drag racer style,,,, listening to you talk about timing , tuning, and carburetors is GOLD . This is very useful and you probably saved someone’s ass if they listen and understand. Idea 💡 - you could start a podcast and teach / help people learn and understand these things fully. The way you speak is clear and understandable, which is a gift. ... You know since you’re never busy and have so much spare time and all lol Jk Well I can say for me and I’m sure others THANK YOU 🙏 , I know there’s a lot of people that refuse to share information like that
It’s wonderful that you and jr are back together and working and racing together like it use to be on the channel and love all the information that you share with everyone and let us follow along with you and your family can’t wait to see what gets out in the old man’s nova it would be awesome to see it back on the track and racing it in some of the other classes that are at some of the races that billy and tommy go To and I bet the was one of the reasons billy sold the Malibu to the old man is to see if it would get him back in to racing after he ran the truck when billy was out on vacation
Great fireside chat Bill. I really like to listen to you explain things in simple terms my old brain can recall. I have really enjoy your videos (even though you dis on my beloved Blue Ovals).
Bill you need to be writing articles for HOT ROD MAGAZINE on carb and nitrous tuning you are very informative on this issue! Me Being a 39 year auto mechanic and racer you are very good at this!!
Your explanation of fuels, octane rating, timing, nitrous, is spot on! Should add in sometime and explain the actual chemical reaction process and how the expansion of gasses from the chemical reaction is actually the driving force behind horsepower , and how nitrous itself provides an oxidized enriched atmosphere to be able to “burn” more fuel or should I say allowing more fuel to have the chemical reaction that in turn creates the cylinder pressure that you speak of. Then combine that with proper fuel to nitrous ratio to also control cylinder temps. You have a way with explaining things and it gets complicated to properly explain how it all “works”! Thanks and great video!
Omg, just wanted to say how much we love your channel. You do such a great job pulling it all together to make stuff make sense with out losing the fun and passion you guys have for cars, family, God & country! 🇺🇸 Still cannot believe you do this every day on your phone & you still push the young guns with all there cameras, computers and technology. You work hard and it really shows on your channel. Thats why everyone can relate to you and your family. People want to be a part of what you guys do. Keep up the good videos and try to get a little sleep. 🔦🏁💰🇺🇸
Wow lots to learn from today's vid. Tech like this is what keeps me coming back. The family shenanigans are the icing in the cake. Surprised to see scrappy turn down the ride
Great info Bill ! Thanks so much for being so free with tips & tricks - I know it takes a long time & many busted knuckles to accumulate wisdom in this game. Have you ever considered a video on reading plugs ? Still relevant today, no matter what system you're running.
LMAO Scappy ain't having no part of that nitrous jolt.....cool garage uncle bucko ...👍....vicky i must say your office looks marvelous...bill you have not miss a beat with craka barrel and stranger things your mind is a lap top 💯% also thanks for the info.....its time for the grudge main event of the year can't wait...LOL...🙂👍🙏
Great info on running nitrous Bill. And I agree it's great to see you and Billy working together. Hope you will eventually get the Nova running again. Always wanted one.
Great channel, good to see you and your sons working together! Glad to see the SBF is coming around too. Billet Crossbar Plate System, 100-500HP (4150 Flange) would be my choice!
I wish you would right a book with all the tips and trick You definitely have unbelievable amount of knowledge. Thankx for the videos glad to see the family enjoying the some good old fashion $h!t talking
The time to write the book is when he retires so he isn’t letting the cat out of the bag as to why he is so successful. Otherwise he is working against himself. Remember when the Malibu was going to make its first pass and we were to guess as to what ET it would run in the comments. Bill really surprised me with the results. I am pretty good with Holley carbs, but Bill is on a whole other level. Absolutely love me some OMG to start my day and I’m older than his father.
Good info on timing control and the fuel you burn. I'm working on a FiTec 1200 hp kit on my 468 bbc. It has 8 injectors throttle body along with timing control and power adder options. First thing first I'm getting the timing correct.
Yes, especially if you intend to drive the vehicle more than once down the street or track. Ignition, cam timing, and fuel are critical to good drivability and power output. I think you'll find this interesting.** Steve Morris race engines put together an 800-hp NA BBC to give away on his RU-vid channel. Starting at around 14 minutes into the video titled "Part 1 How To Build A 800HP BBC," You'll hear Steve discover that the new cam sprocket is 90 degrees out of phase from the manufacturer. I don't need to tell you what would have happened had that engine been started. PS.If you don't have a good timing light with a tach, advance meter, on, off switch, now is the time to invest in one. Good luck with the engine, etc.
@@Godscountry2732 thanks good country I'll check him out. Ya I been working on this build for about a year. Had to wait 6 months for the machine shop but it was worth it. I'm experiencing how good timing, fuel and ignition is what transforms your motor from a bunch of bolt on to a finely tuned motor. And i know if I'm playing with NOS everything has to be right. Ya I like Steve Mores I'll check it out. I remember putting together a 460 build. It was a hone job, cleaned the rings and pistons, did some porting on the heads and a hood rv cam. Lol it didn't run because I used the old cam timing. Had to take the front on the motor all apart to move the cam with an correct advance timing chain. Made all the difference.
Looks like I will have to order some OMG shirts this week. Pretty sweet grand prize and have been meaning to get some merch from you guys anyway. Good luck with the road trip for Billy's new motor, a little father/son time is always good.
We have a small block Chevy 383 in a 01 vette it has a nx kit spraying 200 hp shot and you just solved all my issues . I can drive it only the trailer and foul plugs. I set my timing way down a while back. Thank you Mr. Bill .
Me and my buddy have a obs Chevy with 5.3 BTR cam, 750 brawler carb, and a NX Crossbar with 300 shot. Has issues doing burnout and plugs are always black so you just helped so much Bill! Gained so much knowledge from you and your boys
Morning Mr Bill hope you have a wonderful day and I hope you get the 55 in the shop before long because I know what kind of a smile it would put on your dads face to see that 55 done and I don't want you to regret not getting it done while he's still here I enjoyed the throttle in the bottle speech there's nothing else like having a nother motor at your finger tips Stay safe and God bless you all
This is so true what ole man is talking about. I had nitrous wired wrong when it was armed. Every time when on the brake it would bog I thought it was carburetors. A friend found it while checking the timing. It’s a 632 outlaw car I fought it for 2 yrs off n on at local dragstrip. Simple mistake that was so frustrating.
I've loved racing my hole life so I've been working on this Buick hoping it would bring me and my 2 sons closer but there into other things " as much as I love drag racing it sucks trying to figure things out on my own" I really enjoy watching how close your family is and I hope I can someday have some fun with you guys with these little old street car thanks guys
I would love to run juice " I'm just so lost I'm pretty much on my own well me and the wife" and being on the road most the time " I would love to maybe give some advice on how to" because I really am lost LoL thanks guys
Hey Bill! Once again great content! Love seeing you and the boys laughing it up and challenging each other. I know Billy wants to do battle with the Malibu but I don’t think he knows what you are capable of. I think you have the Mustang covered looking forward to that race. Hey as always stay safe😀😀❤️
It's good to see that red Nova pull back out and cleaned up I'll be glad to see a good engine put in that thing and back on the track that is a good looking car
I love these with some class time if you will. I’m starting an s10 daily project and I’m planning on running nitrous with a mild built 355.. so videos like this are very very appreciated! Im think a base kit like what the Malibu started with would be excellent! But then again a kit like the new one would be bad ass!As always excellent video! Thank you bill
