    I learned how to drive on one of these when I was just a lil kid!!! I was too small to pick up the hay bales so I drove the hay wagon through the field instead!!! Wow!!! Thank you mr bill and uncle Bucko!!!

    Hey Bill! Loved this video very informative! After carb tuning it’s sounds real good. I say it won’t be long you will have it in the eleven’s for sure. Missed you in Billy’s video boy what a show !!the race your boys had was one of the best one’s I have ever seen. Competition deluxe. Both boy’s can really drive. Keep up the great content! Until next time stay safe! Also Miss Vicky I am with you, love that pot roast at Cracker Barrel 😀😀❤️

  • @jamesfackenthal
    @jamesfackenthal Před 2 lety +4

    I always adjust the accelerator pump arm adjustment so I can fit a .010" feeler gauge between the arm and adjustment spring at full throttle. That does 2 things. One) it makes sure the pump squirts with any movement of the throttle. And 2)(I think more important) It gives a cushion so you can't rip the pump diaphragm by overextended it.

  • @michaelmaher4328
    @michaelmaher4328 Před 2 lety +3

    Thank you 🙏 Bill for the carb tips. I have a similar combo in my 79 Camino and I went to 8.5 pv and 35 squirter q 750 on the primary and still have a slight stumble. I’ll try your pump cam recommendation. Thanks 🙏

    I so enjoyed the video love the JD content your dad is amazing going out this summer to plant with the old JD wow! I really love the carb content it took me back to the 70s when I had my race car, I used 6inch bolts to stand my carb other bench and my intake was a holley strip dominator, thank you so much Bill I had a blast back then and made a few dollars at the same time. God bless you guys and as always be safe 👍
    P.S. it's good to hear that Kenny's little s-10 might be fixed you never know about uncle bucko diagnosis 😆

  • @garypowell134
    @garypowell134 Před 2 lety

  • @mikepearson2756
    @mikepearson2756 Před 2 lety +5

    Adjust that front pump arm with a gap at idle.. At 2000 rpm launch you have already used up half your pump shot. Adjust it so its JUST touching when holding throttle at 2000rpm. Guaranteed fix.

  • @TheXopony
    @TheXopony Před 2 lety

    That Falcon has no shame in its game, It seems to get very little love compared to the pickup and still gives it about all it can handle. That last race they had was one of the best and close races Ive ever seen.

    I had almost the same combination in a 79 Malibu years ago. 72 jets in front and 80 in the back with a 65 power valve and 31 squirt in the front 36 in the back! Car was deadly consistent! Ran 11.50s on motor! Won several races at edgewater in the 90s when I was younger.

    @quickdeuce Před 2 lety

    Watching Bill Sr. take his 1952 Johnny 'Popper' down his driveway brought back some wonderful memories for me. My beloved Grandpa had a small (80 acres) farm in the Ozark's of Missouri, he had a John Deere exactly like the tractor we watched in this cool video. He also had a little Farmall 'B' my Grandma drove in their garden and in the fields mowing areas Grandpa couldn't get to on the BIG tractor. Many a farmer were hurt driving those old tractors if the seat broke off dumping the farmer off in front of the equipment they were pulling. One thing was for certain, that old tractor served my Grandpa well til they sold it once they got too old to take care of the of 'tha place'.

  • @stevelong6213
    @stevelong6213 Před 2 lety

    I'm sure you know your carbs better than I but I'd like to mention. If you are powerbreaking for your launch, That puts your excellerator cam in a different position than at idle. You wouldn't want it too far up the lobe before the big opening if you know what I mean because you won't be getting the full lift of the lobe. Good luck. Really enjoy your vids.

      Mine had been sitting in the garage since 1997, Head is completed and back, block still at the machine shop last 31 days, ordering the Ross Forged pistons is next, and all the rest of the parts are cleaned, freshened and painted, and waiting to be bolted on.
      Fuel cell, plumbing, wiring going now. Completing the dream, but the youtube channels were the motivation it took to finally do it.
      Cannot wait to scale the completed car to see how close to min wt. of 2,475 lbs. I am so far before I tear into under the dash.
      All thanks to O.M.G, SRC, VGG, GEN II, Jeff, and T.J., Matt...with a lil' Chief and Jack, 187 and of all things Cleetus and his crazy gang.
      Off to call the machine shop to ck. on progress.

    The sbc like to be quite up to temp to run efficiently, especially racing if you want to be consistent.
    I tune my power valves by hooking a vac gage, car warmed up, in gear, at idle, take a reading.. what that reading is -divide by 2
    puts you super close.. You want to super fine tune that thing on the malibu- start playing with air bleed jets.
    put a A/F gage in it too> that cars gonna fly! just keep a rear in one piece!

      You can not buy the kind of information anymore that Bill is giving us all for free!! Guys need to be soaking it up as much as they possibly can, especially with the carb information! That quality info has been hard to come by for a few decades now and is gonna continue to get harder as we start losing the few carb wizards we’ve come to love and cherish over the years and most will never be replaced

    These videos have gotten me fired up and working on my mercury zephyr. Set the motor in over the weekend and like you I’m using parts and pieces that I have. I got a kinda quick bbf fox body but I’m really enjoying messing with “slow junk” and I’m coming for that Malibu if we ever cross paths!
