Disconnect the vac when setting the base timing

need to fix alternator mount too much vibration

Nice

From here it "sounded" like the timing was retarded but I thought NAW !! Probably not !! Turns out, go with your instincts !!! Sounds much "happier" with more advance !!!

As amazing as this rig sounds and looks, I can't help but think "man that looks uncomfortable as hell to drive on long drives." Yeah, I'm old. Coffee Break sounds killer too!

Good job on the tri-carbs and the dual carbs, cheers for showing how to use the uni-sinc tool, good video, cheers.

👍

Travis, those fuel lines would look so cool made in steel likes. Oh S/S!!!

Great Video Those Are Some Cool Rides Keep The Videos Coming 👍

Nothing sounds better than a Ford Flathead V8!

nice to have a change of pace

Travis, I would suggest that you do something to stiffen up the alternator mount or it's going to flip the belt. It looks to me like that thing is mighty uncomfortable to drive with your back bent forward, mine is that way but 81 it's kinda natural.😄

Need to tighten up your belt To your Alternator.

That does not look very comfortable driving. I guess trying to look cool has it's disadvantages

Bet you could just shorten each fuel hose 4” and I bet you don’t need the bracket to keep them off the head. Been fun following along with these carb videos

Don't put yourself down - none of us were born knowing everything there is to know about every engine. You're doing fine, but your biggest asset is that you KNOW you have a lot to learn and that you WANT to learn. I've been wrenching for 60+ years and still learning. Lots of things I was taught by the old guys turned out to be not so good, afterall.

Cool uni-syn tool, never heard of this before. Learned something new, thanks for the explanation

Thanks for another , Brother !

Nice work ! Thanks for another , Brother !

This may not be the most popular comment but watching you drive this car it seems to be VERY uncomfortable. Seating position, windshield top header in line of sight, etc. I think you did a good job getting it running and driving.

Is that a 5 speed? Sounds great dude!

Love the sound of a flatty. Enjoyed the video man

Travis you say you're not a mechanic but you got it done! I really like your RPU its like old fashioned hot rod. on the other hand the other car you worked on don't know what style it is you got it running great, on the video its obvious you can't see out of the windshield you're sitting on the floor no safety belts etc. In a wreck the driver could thrown out through the roof or smash his face on the windshield header. You have a wife and children please don't drive that death trap on the highway.

The b6l plugs run better than the automates for me. Good job.

Nice job on this one! If the owner actually lays back in that seat to drive it, he’s gotta have 4 foot arms. I personally would put a longer steering column in it with a removable wheel, or move the seat forward. As for the tranny noise, I’d asked the owner what kind of tranny it is, pick up some fluid and top it off. Since he brought it to you to do the carbs, he’ll probably want you to check that too. Go Man Go!!! Extra bonus points.

That rod doesn't look very comfortable to drive.

Works out better if you I set your carbs up, air fuel, with the air cleaners on.

Great job on the carbs and tuning! That BBS Rod is definitely a hot rod for a young man with a good back! Who makes those air cleaner/scoops on the RPU? Very cool! Just curious, any concerns with the coil getting too hot where it is mounted? Keep the great videos coming! Go RAC Garage, keep moving forward!

Did you think about possibly going with hard fuel lines Travis? Great job on the videos! Thanks for sharing!!

Bad-Ass Ride.

Nice thinking outside the box! They tell us, "It bolts right on with no modification/fabrication necessary." An old time hot rodder taught me, "Never bolts on, every car is different and has its own quirks!" Can't wait to hear those beautiful carbs sing! Go RAC Garage, keep moving forward!

Great job Travis! 👍 love seeing the frequency of your new videos, makes my day!

Not being critical but the alternator shakes like hell at idol and eventually it will break the bracket. It might be wise to make a brace to keep that from happening.

Very cool🤙 I just picked up a handful of 2/3 carb flathead intakes one 4 bbl intake and a couple 348/409 tri power's Teflon tip: hold tape in left hand bolt in right and rightly tightly =tape in correct direction

Hot ridding in all its forms is a process of learning. I have been playing with this stuff for over 50 years and I am still learning, I really enjoy watching your work, and love the flaheads. So many great memories of my Dad.

Money well spent it's hammer down

Super sweet..super neat. ❤❤. How would a long mirror from windshield post to windshield post work out? Would this give driver a wide view of anything behind him? 😊 Seems like it would fit right in place. 😊

Nice job on the BBS but doesn't look very comfortable to drive?

Success ! Awesome test drive !

.... good job....

... alternator bracket needs to be rethought....

New 97 did it!

Im running a push bike cable on mine

Make sue the fuel pump isn’t overpowering the float valves. And if it is, put some sort of regulation in the fuel pressure. If it’s an electric fuel pump and the pressure is too high, consider putting in a pressure switch in line to turn off the pump when reaches an adjusted back pressure limit.

I love this old school hot rodding , you guys over there are awesome ❤️

Thanks Travis I enjoy your videos😊

Hahaha. Metric is normal stuff. It's that old imperial stuff that is odd..... Yes I know my Model A is loaded with that "odd stuff"..... 🤣

Only just a little research could find you a bigger, more gaumy alternator. All seriousness aside, there's a thing called the "Mini Denso". Even better would be no visible alternator at all. (run it off the driveshaft)
