@southfloridafishingtv8948 what intake do you have today? The only other thing is possibly the bottom piece of the lid system.

@@jamestemoney6680 below the radio screen

that's the best way to do it! That's how I plan to show it in my next video!

@@jasun6859 yeah no issues

@@carsgunsandguitars there's an easier way, I need to do a new video

@@RamblinGarage lmk when you do

@@RamblinGaragecould you link the easier way?

@@jmiles3993 I will when I make it.

@kejerf69 yeah I do it the other way now. Make a video if the other way and you'll probably get some views 😀

@@MichaelMorrison-k7e can't go wrong there!

@@chrisrobinson6486 I do! I'm actually looking to get rid of them because I may be getting rid of my truck shortly.

Thanks papa, now it's too clean, I don't wanna drive it lol

Get the house first, harder to buy a house than a $20-30k car. Then have fun! We're trying to buy another house, I want some other cars really bad, but they have to wait haha

@@RamblinGarage I’m good in the money for both but I don’t have the room to store/work on it.

Agreed! I have a tick, think it's the oil pump, but it keeps chugging away, so I'm just monitoring it making sure it doesn't get worse. Fantastic engines and great power per liter.

Yeah I'll try to make a video soon! Update for you.. these tires have been nothing short of great since I've owned them. I've put about 16k miles on them, they're still quiet, some cupping, but I make a u-turn every morning to go to work and I think that contributes. I'd have to measure tread depth, but I'd say I'm still probably around 60-70% and I don't really drive friendly, as can be seen in some of my other videos. lol

@@RamblinGarage Thanks. I found another 3 of them at $89 each at another Walmart. They got a bunch of 2022-made ones on clearance now.

Well frick.. it won't let me move the text now. lol I'm in Janesville WI

I updated the description though, thanks for letting me know!

I ended up abandoning this project, just because I want to keep my car more original, at least at the moment. That being said.. what are your goals for the car? The 4 barrel intakes do float around, I'd expect to probably pay around $400 these days. You're probably good for a realistic 10-15 hp after that upgrade. That being said, if make mass amounts of power is your goal, the 327 is going to get VERY expensive. To swap to a Gen 2 or 3, you're going to need the engine, trans, and full driveline if your car is currently a torque tube car. As for this process.. if you have the spacers, it's really not a difficult process, you just need to cut off everything on the bottom side of the intake that isn't the gasket mating surface. It just takes time.

@@RamblinGarage Thank you for the reply! It's rather disappointing that you abandoned this project since this seems to be the only video that I've seen on this subject. But I can understand the want to keep things original! In terms of my Ambassador 990, I'm looking to beef it up a bit, ideally get as much power out of it as possible without getting absolutely crazy. The primary goal is to make the car dependable and reliable on the street during the non-winter months, and it feels like upgrading to a 4 barrel is the best way to go without converting over to an expensive EFI system

@DJIMini4Pro-NTB outside of using the DVC harness, no it was plug and play. Factory screw holes worked perfect.

@@Berniessen no, cleaned the lines out and replaced with r134 and pag.

@@RamblinGarage perfectly done thats how u shut convert ure AC. I am thinking of recharging my car with R12,meaning i have a 1984 GM car with the huge Harrison A6 compressor that stil has pressure,even the car is parked in a barn for several years,i will take it out next month,replace the tires fluids fuel and vaccuum the system and put R12 in it.(i was super lucky i got my hands on a big new 13 14kg cylinder).

@AJay-rp1ml yeah I do it a decent bit, it's pretty enjoyable.

@@RamblinGarage it is it is I'm opening up a business here in the near future I saw you are very far away from me tho I'm from Texas near the gulf ive only ever been to Wisconsin a time or two

@@AJay-rp1ml ah cool! Best of luck! You're not missing much here in Wisco 😀

@@RamblinGarage thanks bro!!

@@Traviswhite12 not perfect, but it's close!

Thank you!

@@DanielHernandez-x9y are you referring to the nutsert install tool? I bought my own, I believe a link is in the description

@@RamblinGarage not too concerned about the tool to install but need to purchase more of the actuall inserts- as mine only came with 1 - could you share link to the ones you bought ?

@@DanielHernandez-x9y oh i gotcha, here's the ones I got Glarks 110Pcs M3 M4 M5 M6 M8 M10 M12 Half Hex Body Flange Rivet Nuts Assortment Kit, Zinc Plated Carbon Steel Flat Head Threaded Insert Nut Rivnut Set a.co/d/0W8F7Di

@@RamblinGarage thank you. I’ll be subscribing- appreciate the help

Also @ramblingarage what spacers did you purchase ?

@@charliericker3124 my starter is brand new. I think I'd benefit from a smaller high torque starter. All is good now that I'm back with a carb.

I adjusted my target AFR's before selling the sniper (bumped them, the sniper seemed to read richer than it was actually running) and the car ran a TON better. Probably lost the gas mileage.. never checked. lol

Ah the age old debate that always leaves everyone looking and feeling like an ass.. lot to unfold here.. For starts, you enjoy your car how you want, I'll enjoy mine how I want. lol As for how little I drive the car. I drive the car pretty regularly in the spring and fall.. less regularly when the black leather scorches, mid summer. As for value, I have no desires to retire on the value of my car, that's what cash investments are for. The car has increased over 100% in value since I bought it though, I'll take that. I do enjoy my car, alongside my 6 other vehicles. That alone will naturally result in me driving my car less, I have to distribute about 10k annual miles between 7 total cars.. Not worth arguing about.. if you don't understand the want and desire of owning and driving a mint vehicle that is about as close to a brand new off the lot car, 24 years later, then you just won't understand, and that's okay. Have a good day, thanks for dropping by.

I'm with ya. I'm on the fence. I think i need to pull it out and get it in the air and remove some body panels to see what I'm really working with.

Mines a dual cat car, if you delete the cat you can just weld that tube with an extension into the replacement pipe or you could delete the smog system all together

@@ryanreckard4239 road trip to Louisiana?

@michaelm3381 ceramic coating it is! I think people overestimate sometimes how perfect they need to get it. Sure you're locking in imperfections, but if you have no intentions or later fixing those imperfections, then ceramic coating is just extending your application periods as opposed to using wax, which essentially does something very similar, but lasts a much shorter period of time.

@reddragon6613 I like them so far in mine, after a couple hundred miles they've really started to ride smooth and they're very comfortable. As for the steering shaft.. mine started doing that. If I'm turning left, as soon as I start to turn left it has a small pop/clunk. I have no idea why. I re-torqued everything and it went away for a couple of miles and came back. I'm not too concerned about the trans pan, I hopefully shouldn't have to drop it too much to renew fluids. Worst case I got a flush of sorts without pressurizing the system lol. Your trans pan sounds much nicer than the cheap one I bought.

@ronron9274 it was pretty difficult to show with needing both hands, but if you pull up, versus pushing to either side of the tab it should pull up. It's also possible that in vehicles that spent a good bit of time outside, that the plastic just isn't as flexible and will crack from the stress.

It should be the one it defaults to, the 4568
