    I know you won't see this comment, but your buddy Ray's 55 @11.30 just made me do it. I'm real old school, his and my 56 back in the day had a 4 spd hooked to a built 350 4 bolt main, big cam, headers, 411 rear and came with the same exhaust sound and you just can't beat that tune when going thru the gears vs automatic...near brought tears to my eyes. Anyhow, I really like everything you do and love your style. PS I noted when you got plated your exhaust exited before the rear wheels. Here in CT USA we couldn't get it through by law, it must go over the axle and to the bumper. AFTER inspection it got righteous. Merry Christmas/Happy New Year.

    That’s why I got a haircut way back in the 90’s. My hair got caught in the creeper wheels. Life has been better ever since. Not sure if it had anything to do with the hair tho.

    That evap system is for open exhaust only. The one way valves clog up and backpressure blows out all your seals in the engine.

    Your 55 is looking great. A suggestion which may be obvious, To keep your hair from getting caught in the creeper, get it cut. LOL

    I wouldn't run the evac u pan on a street machine - they only make enough vacuum at wide open throttle at high rpm to draw anything out of the crankcase. just run the mopar style breathers you bought with no hoses on them - they don't drip like the open bottom breathers. I would run a PCV to one of the carbs, and you can put the valve in the valley part of the tunnel ram.

    I dont want to disrespect you cause i think you are doing a good job on the cars. But your woman is a doll. Omg shes hotter than a set of big block headers. Absolutely gorgeous. Im not sorry for saying so.

    Excellent build!! How excited are you for the first shake-down cruise? I can hardly wait myself.

  • @xozindustries7451
    @xozindustries7451 Před 5 lety

    Those header evacuation systems don't work good unless you have straight through exhaust, any back pressure won't let them pull vacuum

  • @allankwiatkowski8217

    Unfortunately I have to say some things. 1 nice car.2 gassers have straight axle front suspension

    Did your buddy have that evac system on his 55 look like it did .I had that on with muffler an it blew dipstick out .just wondering how it was working for him .thanks for the video 👍👍

    • @DDSpeedShop
      @DDSpeedShop  Před 5 lety

      I dunno, I think hes happy with it though.

    • @rdcrankcustom
      @rdcrankcustom Před 5 lety

      It works well and draws decent vacuum even at idle. I think alot of it has to do with getting the angle of the tube just right on the header.

    I can't remember ..Did you use the nickel-copper line for the brakes and fuel? If so what did you think of it?

    • @DDSpeedShop
      @DDSpeedShop  Před 5 lety +1

      Yup that's all I used in the whole car. Super easy to bend but I don't know how it does long term.

    Put the wheels on the ground and those issues might go away??

    • @DDSpeedShop
      @DDSpeedShop  Před 5 lety +1

      Its jacked up on the axle so it's basically at ride height

    DUDE! You missed a really great opportunity to make a cheesy "HOSER" joke right there at the front!

  • @sbf_fox2434
    @sbf_fox2434 Před 5 lety

    Looks like it will be ready to take around the block soon! You mentioned you only had two vacuum sources off the Holleys which I assume are the small nipples on the primary metering blocks. Don't they also have the large vacuum fitting in the baseplates?

    • @DDSpeedShop
      @DDSpeedShop  Před 5 lety

      Nope just the 2 ported ones. I may have to drill and tap a hole in a runner.
