And you only live once But, if you live right Once is enough! There shouldn't be anything but positive feedback Mr. Bill. Anything else is just jealousy, envy or pure hate! OMG,SRC & GENIIG are great entertainment and drag racing knowledge that good people can watch and enjoy almost every day and we love it! Thank y'all for the continuing effort!
That man may be 72 years old but did anyone notice how steady his hand was? That's year's of practice in a craft. Couldn't tell he hadn't done it in 20 year's
Yes, I'm 75 and I for sure noticed how steady a hand he still has. CUDO's to 'ol Dennis for stepping in to give 'young' Bill a hand when he needed one. The Malibu's new hood's gonna serve a purpose and it's gonna look too cool.
Hey Bill! Boy you just keep knocking it out of the park with your video’s. They are just the real deal. Not to many channels out that share the love and respect that you spread around. Thanks for what you do and let’s get that Malibu in the 10,s. Stay safe and thank you and your whole crew for being there and making the world a better place God know’s we need it. 😀😀❤️
Sounds like a whole new engine, and the world could definitely benefit for more people like Denny love seeing him drive his Camaro on the video of you fixing his carburetor. ... Hopefully Denny's feeling better from his medical issues .
I bet your happy you took the time to get Dennys camaro back on the road for him, one of your first videos. It was almost as much fun watching him focus on painting that hood as it was watching him drive his car for the first time in years. Great video Bill, can't wait for the next one. Keep up the good work.
Glad you found that missing horsepower! Can't wait to see how she runs at the strip. You would never know Denny took a 20 year break from painting! That hood is going to look great on the Malibu!
A true friend will help you no matter day or night..Dennis reminds me of my Grandfather..always up for a challenge and never turned down a friend..glad to know the Malibu is running better Bill..
Now thats what made America great people doing stuff for one another not for money but just to help someone that has helped you or someone you know.. Love seeing that 🇺🇸 🇺🇲
The last couple of video's at the track and problem solving in the shed have been the best, Love how you explain the leaving before the other car and cutting him at the finish, I had the hairs on my neck on end!, Keep up the good work. Hope it goes into the 10's for you.
I'm shocked you didn't install all of the new lifters and keep the old ones as spares. I wouldn't trust any of those old ones with 25% of them already being bad.
My thoughts exactly. Put the entire new set in all at once. But Bill may just want to see if any of the Comp lifters remaining fail? He does know how this stuff behaves.
BILL that Malibu sounds a whole lot better, I believe the rocker adjustment really helped it along with new lifters.👍👍 Really glad you painted the hood to match the car, it looks freaking killer..💯.. BILL , you really should pass alot of your wisdom off on TOMMY So he understands alot better about compression and motors and what not..👍👍
Thank YOU Bill for my morning coffee content, I can’t say how much I look forward to it. Now get some sleep. Per the Gen2Garage video you’ve only been dealing with Jegs for like 15 years. And Mark definitely trained his help extremely well. So glad Miss Vicki is on top of the hotel and detail situation😎 That’s so awesome Denny came over to paint that hood
It is great that you are blessed with good friends and family. The Malibu sounds great. Wish you the best on Friday. Have a great day testing the Malibu. Thanks for sharing 👍
Waking at three to find my favorite channel's video up. Mrs. Vicki is so funny, she knows something 😂God bless her. Glad you found your gremlin. The Malibu is going to be in the 10's if you're not careful. You'll have to get a roll cage.
Well well well THAT'S going to be a WHOLE lot of difference in power production for the little SBC and praise be for some ACTUAL functional shocks in that little old monster finally! Very excited to see the difference in trap speed and '60 foot with these solutions... solutioned.
So cool to see things finally coming together on the Malibu,,,,and the hood,,,he did an awesome job,,,that car needed that hood...love all the channels man....🤓💯🇺🇲
Excellent video! Denny is a cool dude and with years of experience it was a pleasure to see him paint! Ol' Bill ...could you go over the bracket racing terminology for those of us who are either new or have never bracket raced? Explaining the terms will expedite the assimilation process for everyone and make bracket racing more enjoyable! especially for the novice! Love to everyone and God bless! and of course the dogs too ...
My Father's name is Denine also. He's 77. Still hardest working man I know. Always first out the door when someone wants help. He's my role model and my hero. Seem's people with that name is the best folks.
Great vid showing the folks how to double check the valve train on hyd lifters. So important for a long lasting performance car. Just the sound said it all.
Comin in clutch, burnin the midnight oil to throw down some color at 72.. Denny is the man!!! 🤙💪👊 If you look hard enough you may see his cape.. Testament to surrounding yourself with good people and treating them right. No doubt you are just a phone call away if Denny needs you Bill. Clear evidence of the quality of men you both are..
You almost need a parts runner to keep from having to run JEGS and Marks 2-3 times a day yourself with all these projects lol its amazing how much you guys got to get stuff with all the projects now
@@theoldmansgarage Is there a known issue with Comp's lifters? Seem to remember "Uncle Tony's Garage" Having an issue with several sets wiping out cams?
The Malibu is coming together nicely. You definitely called the power loss gremlins! Vicky has me itching to see your dad's face after the '55 gets a fresh paint and visible freshening.....
That's crazy. I didn't think the Malibu sounded bad before. You can hear a difference now. It sounds really good. I can't believe the difference if you listen to a previous video vs now.
Denny is the kind of friend that needs a friend as good as he is to everyone else. I try to be that friend, drop everything to help out when needed. Unfortunately that is usually a one way street, I have projects in need of attention, but rarely have time to accomplish, due to friends needing help. Oh well, thats my place in life, and I would rather lend a hand. Cant wait to see the "stock" Malibu in the 10s. Great video!!
I am 50 now and wish I could have had these videos when I was growing up. I had to learn all the stuff you show the hard way. Lol now I use you videos as a guide line in showing my sons and working together as your team does. Thanks for sharing another great video.
Great video the tips at the track always have a hot bottle and diagnosing the engine loved seeing Denny come return the favor for getting his Camaro running hell of a Painter Love y’all
Thank you Bill...again! Always brightens my day when I see an upload from anyone in the Hoskinson family. More Uncle Denny please! Seems like an amazing friend and person...
Great find on those lifters,theres alot of techs that without a scanner can’t figure much out mechanically,it’s becoming a lost art just like carb tuning and timing👍
Boy and howdy. Carb tuning is indeed 'almost' a lost art. Bill has paid his dues, he's learned - because finances and a desire to WIN said HE HAD TO - the what for's and how to's of making a carburetor work and deliver it's optimum performance. Most of us either gave up or had 'a friend' who is just like Bill, knew how to tune a carb, set up a distributor and time an engine to make it run as best it can. We'd furnish the beer, help them drink it and watch them do their magic.
Maybe its just me but it even sounds crisper and smoother for the exhaust! Great to see Denny back at it! He really seems to be thankful for your help and definitely remembers! 10's here we come!
We had spectrum while back. They're terrible here in Kentucky too. Young guy at marks smilin like yeah I effed up 😂 Mark is a Man among Men 😎 he's what every parts store man should be. 🇺🇸
Oh my the Malibu definitely sounds much, MUCH happier! I can't wait to see the difference in the time. On a side note, it is truly so wonderful to see just how much more relaxed and less stressed you and Miss Vicki have been over the last month and a half or so, and that in the family. The last 6-8 weeks I've noticed the biggest improvement, and I am so incredibly happy too see it... it's been awhile in the making. Thank you for another awesome video. Love n prayers from upstate NY.🙏💜
Hey buddy good to see you Man I had tears when Dennis was painting the hood good guy I remember him when you all got the 55 running I love your videos just makes my day don't change a thing about what you're doing can't believe chief coming to race with you all that's awesome God bless you all and the kids and Kenny and Harley and uncle buck o and Dennis Mom and Dad keep on keeping on bill
Almost 100k! Early congrats! Super proud of you and the boys. It's truly insane catching a channel with barely any subs, just starting out, and being around to watch it grow.
That Malibu is almost still original! Lol. Kinda looks like a race car big Bill. The best thing is it appears you are having a lot of fun with it. Good content too, to keep us all a part of things
Agree. ... but paint formulations have changed in the 20 years. I'm no safety zealot, but with those polyurethane paints a cartridge respirator is a really good idea. I got a little messed up treating modern paints like the lacquer we sprayed in the 60s.
Please put the hood out in the sun for a few hrs before you install it. That was good paint you put on it! Keep up the great content!!! Now you have me wondering if I have a bad lifter in my car....
I know all about Internet issues we've been having them for over 5 years and they have done everything including digging up my front yard🤦♂️. Glad you found your motor issues. God bless Denny. Good people like him are rare gems in Today's world.
Man that Malibu is sweet!!! It's my idea of a perfect little street car. Clean as hell and sounds just as good. I love everything you have done to it. Thanks for putting out such good content on a consistent basis.
How bad do you want it? Motivation will get you only so far, discipline and dedication will get you there. Old school principles of meaning what you say, and doing what you say are sadly missing in far too many people these days. Good friends like Dennis Place to you guys and some of my late fathers friends live by these principles and their friends do the same and trust gets built over decades of being there when needed and being there for them when they need help in turn. Glad you were able to find the problem with the lifters and rockers adjustments. I had some Rhoades lifters in my CJ at one time and the engine would just lay down at anything above 6200 rpm, a cam change and solid lifers and Harlan Sharpe roller rockers and it would pull really hard to 7500rpm, probably further but didn't want to twist that old FE more than that. Always good content Bill. Go fast and be safe, God bless you and your family.
Damn! Another great video. CZcams content Champion 2022!!!! Dennis is my old man's age. My old man for whatever reason stays up later than he ever has in his 70's. Weird. But hey I guess just trying to get the most out of life.
I been a spectrum tech for 10 years in Louisiana, a crimped wire will definitely cause problems that aren't always visible to the tech and his meter. Also you could have a neighbor with bad cable wires backfeeding noise into the system causing modems to drop off. To be honest there are all kinds of things that cause equipment to drop off. If the problem persist keep calling in. Don't put up with it for months before calling back in. The more you call the more they notice, and believe me every supervisor, manager, and field tech will hear about it. At least that's how it is down here. We get emails every day with the list of repeats and are expected to answer why a customer had to call in so many times and what did we find. Good luck
@The Old Man’s Garage I disagree entirely with Spectrum's analysis of the internet problems you are having. "Dust" and "Not having their Appliance", in the window in a excuse and just shows that the techs they have working them haven't a cue. Signal issues to the modem have to be within range, i agree. Coax and or fiber crimps / connections need to be perfect and their is no excuse for this, If a recurring problem has been your experience. My suggestion and i have plenty of experience to back it up is to ditch all of the Spectrum gear that they want you to use ( monthly rental probably ) and purchase your own cable modem ( if that is what your service is ) and just have them connect your modem to their network. Everything else downstream should be your networking gear ( Mesh networks ) work well, but i highly recommend running cat/5/6 wire as a hardwired infrastructure between buildings and using non wireless routers and switches to support wireless access points. Ditch Spectrum's gear and invest in a real network, your YT channel / business depends on it or keep being frustrated and listening to Spectrum tech excuses.
@@tuk2433 the dust excuse is bogus unless there was enough built up on the equipment to cause it to overheat, the only thing about keeping any equipment in the window would be if it overheats from roasting in the direct sun for hours which is highly unlikely this time of year as it's not even hot enough down here yet for that to happen. But yes the signal levels have to be within spec and it doesn't matter what equipment you have how expensive it may or may not be if the levels aren't good it won't work. Period. With that said there are plenty of people who have our equipment that works great with zero issues and there are cases of the opposite. Just know that if something happens to our equipment we replace it free of charge, or if you buy your own which is perfectly fine you are responsible for it, setting it up and if it takes a dump on you. But you definitely have much more control over what you get and what features said equipment has. There is no fee for the modems and the wifi is $5 a month. Which is pretty reasonable for most people. But still none of that matters if there is an issue that hasn't been resolved. And the best way to do that is make some noise if it persist. The squeaky wheel gets the grease
@@MrKKUT1984 For the average home user a all in one gateway may be fine, especially if it is broadcasting from the center of the house. Beyond this, it is limited. I have procured internet to many homes dealing with all the top ISPs and i will say, especially the residential installs the techs knowledge is basic. Sure there are veterans who know their stuff. Renting a large corporations equipment is foolish and becomes a slave to there system. Most users are complacent and don't know any better.
@@tuk2433 I wouldn't say it's foolish at all. You go out and easily spend $200 + on your own equipment and take a lightning strike (which happens alot down here) and now all your equipment is toast. You have to go buy all new equipment again unless it's under warranty still. For most families renting the router is plenty good enough, on average that wifi 6 router covers a 2000 square foot home and supports enough bandwidth. If they have larger homes, bigger families where they may have alot of kids and everyone has devices then I tell them a mesh network is going to be a much better option for them. Another thing is not everyone has the skills or knowledge to set up Hotspots or wire a home with ethernet nor do they have the money to pay someone to do it for them. And when it comes to techs not having knowledge yeah there are some people who just aren't that good and some who are new and just don't have the experience yet. Just like IT people. And also people don't realize that a cable tech is not responsible for individually addressing your equipment with our equipment nor are they trained for that. With charter/spectrum in particular on a business account the tech is responsible for everything from the tap to the equipment which means just making sure WE have internet straight out of the modem or router. We are not responsible for YOUR equipment nor are we allowed to touch your equipment. And on residential we can hook your equipment up ie tvs, computers, tablets and so on and make sure internet is working on at least 1 device. Most techs will try hooking every up for you but if you have 1or 2 devices that aren't working out of many that are, we aren't responsible for that.
@@MrKKUT1984 I respect your position to defend the company you work for. Spectrum. But, i don't agree with your logic and how it pertains to The Old Man Garage's business and what is the best solution for them. So many better options when informed and you don't settle for the status quo. Spectrum. Do better for your channel and business Bill. Ditch Spectrum hardware.
Love the Malibu We put a81 Malibu Classic wagon together and it was our son's first hot rod, memories brought back from your Malibu Thanx for That Have a Great Day I've been trying to get up to date with the old Man's Garage, SRC and Gen2 Wish they had episodes numbers 😪
For your suspension test you'd probably get a pretty decent idea of the effect of the shocks if your first pass you run the shocks full loose on all of the clickers then go to an actual baseline shock setting for the second. Keep up the good work sir!
You talked about switching over to 1.5 rocker ratio. I am like Denny, have not painted for a long time but this newer paint will put you in the grave without the right mask.
I think the spacer will be an excellent addition on the Mali! Heck before when I was fuel injection I even had a throttle body spacer and loved it. Then when I motor swapped I still injoyed putting a carborator spacer on. Its almost a must have.
The super victor intake is a great intake for high rpm race applications, but in the Malibu I can't help to think an intake like a performer rpm air gap being a smaller runner dual plane would not only help throttle response but also make more torque and horsepower across the board in your current combination at every rpm range except for maybe at your max rpm...I bet just this intake swap would be worth a couple tenths in the quarter...love the content and everything you guys are doing!!! Be blessed brother!!!
Glad to seen Denny in this Video he’s been absent too long. And ain’t no better feeling in the world when you’re building a street car and testing at the track. You make that pass and they hand you that ticket and see you ain’t got a cage and they tell you your done too fast for no cage. Or not enough cage for the Et you just ran. It make a person smile knowing that street car is coming around.
Great video I love to see you old friends get back together even if it's in the middle of the night to give each other a helping hand just like all of us do or most of us do with our friends
Glad to see the Malibu getting sorted out.I know you can rest a little easier after finding those bad lifters.Cant wait to see the test session.That new hood will look awesome.
@20:00,, ",,, it's four o'clock in the morning,,". Back when Bill was operating his excavation business that's about when he was waking up to start his day. Now it's when he's ending his day. The work hours of the day depends on the kind of work a guy does :)
Another killer video Bill, Denny knocked it out of the park! Sure enjoyed Tommy and Allison’s video last night as well! Keep up the great work my friend!
Hey Bill, enjoy all the videos. I'm curious to why you didn't replace all the lifters and keep the old ones for spares. I would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks.
Agreed, and put the old shocks back in after test & tune and you will see what the loss is for the shock data!! Dang, I hope they didn't throw them out....
Hi Bill. I am really enjoying your channel and Billy's and Tommy's. All 3 are great best of luck with the Chevy I'm looking forward to seeing it get better and better. Good luck this weekend.
Bill I started out watching Bill's channel and I still watch all of them, But I have to say that I look forward to yours. Your content and knowlage is amazing. If you ever want to sell the Malibu I'm interseted LOL. I had 4 Malibus already. Love thoes cars. Keep up the good work and teach Tommy how to rebuild that engine. Love ya all.
Hope the Malibu performs as you hope... also, best move I ever made was dumping Spectrum and picking up FiOS thru Verizon for my internet. I pay $76.99 per month with no add-ons required. If it's available in your neighborhood, highly recommend a change.
That thing sounds a lot stronger and that Dennis paint guy was awesome looks really nice that thing gonna be fast fast more you do to it looking very cool 😎
Bill, hands down you make the best videos on the net. Love your knowledge and the humble way you all go about things....maybe not Jeremy. Just joking of course, I was amazed you guys were painting at that time of the morning! Take care from Brisbane Australia.
Man this was a good video seeing Mr Dennis he did s amazing job on the hood and the mailbu sounds bad ass she looking good can't wait to see it test and tune video
Love the content. And the Malibu coming out of the drive way sounds so much better. Like it's really hitting on all 8. It just sounds like it's really rolling on all 8and happy. And it's always good to have family friends that will always help. Hats off to you Bill. You are Def one of the old school guys. Don't never give up on your dreams. Thank you Bill and to your family for doing this for us the viewer's.
I have been following all the channels for a long time and you guys all put out great content, but have to admit that it is a lot cooler when the whole family is in in the videos. Keep kicking ass Bill!
Loyalty is everything.
Respect is earned,not given.
Honor and dignity never get sacrificed.
3 simple rules to live by.
Old school rules.
Amen brother!, old school forever!.
And don’t forget. Trust is earned not given..
Amen!! I couldn't have said it any better myself and I 100% agree and there is nowhere near enough of that in today's world! That's pretty sad!!
And you only live once
But, if you live right
Once is enough!
There shouldn't be anything but positive feedback Mr. Bill. Anything else is just jealousy,
envy or pure hate! OMG,SRC & GENIIG are great entertainment and drag racing knowledge that good people can watch and enjoy almost every day and we love it!
Thank y'all for the continuing effort!

My thoughts exactly. Put the entire new set in all at once. But Bill may just want to see if any of the Comp lifters remaining fail? He does know how this stuff behaves.
I’m sure he had his reasons he did it the way he did.
Yup I said the same
Denny is the kind of friend everyone needs. Great job my man!
BILL that Malibu sounds a whole lot better, I believe the rocker adjustment really helped it along with new lifters.👍👍
Really glad you painted the hood to match the car, it looks freaking killer..💯..
BILL , you really should pass alot of your wisdom off on TOMMY So he understands alot better about compression and motors and what not..👍👍
Tommy will listen well, I think.
@@theoldbigmoose yes sir, tommy seems to have a good head on his shoulders,he just needs pop to share all that wisdom with him...
I absolutely love the small block Chevy content. I don't think I am alone on this one but a good ole sbc sounds better then a Ls any day of the week
🙄
You're not alone. The SBC definitely sounds better than the LS, mostly because of the different firing order. They also look a whole lot better IMO.
Thank YOU Bill for my morning coffee content, I can’t say how much I look forward to it. Now get some sleep.
Per the Gen2Garage video you’ve only been dealing with Jegs for like 15 years. And Mark definitely trained his help extremely well.
So glad Miss Vicki is on top of the hotel and detail situation😎
That’s so awesome Denny came over to paint that hood
Glad to dee Denny again. It sure is good to have friends like him. We definitely need more like him in the world.
It is great that you are blessed with good friends and family. The Malibu sounds great. Wish you the best on Friday. Have a great day testing the Malibu. Thanks for sharing 👍
The Malibu sounds a bit more rowdy at least to me. Glad you got it figured out. Looking forward to seeing it run. Hood looks great too!
My best friend passed away 1 month ago he was like Denny always there to lend a helping hand! Bill you are blessed to have so many good friends!

Most of us either gave up or had 'a friend' who is just like Bill, knew how to tune a carb, set up a distributor and time an engine to make it run as best it can. We'd furnish the beer, help them drink it and watch them do their magic.
Maybe its just me but it even sounds crisper and smoother for the exhaust! Great to see Denny back at it! He really seems to be thankful for your help and definitely remembers! 10's here we come!
Glad you got the motor figured out. Looking forward to Friday's testing video.
We had spectrum while back. They're terrible here in Kentucky too.
Young guy at marks smilin like yeah I effed up 😂 Mark is a Man among Men 😎 he's what every parts store man should be. 🇺🇸
You have to be smart to be a GOOD parts person.
@@donhorner6019 ol Mark is as sharp as they come.
Oh my the Malibu definitely sounds much, MUCH happier! I can't wait to see the difference in the time. On a side note, it is truly so wonderful to see just how much more relaxed and less stressed you and Miss Vicki have been over the last month and a half or so, and that in the family. The last 6-8 weeks I've noticed the biggest improvement, and I am so incredibly happy too see it... it's been awhile in the making. Thank you for another awesome video. Love n prayers from upstate NY.🙏💜
Yes and the better language has been a breath of fresh air too.
Denny Place seems like the guy you could call at 3:00 A.M. and say” I need to bury something”!
And be there with a shovel!!!! LOL!!!
What a friend!
Hey buddy good to see you Man I had tears when Dennis was painting the hood good guy I remember him when you all got the 55 running I love your videos just makes my day don't change a thing about what you're doing can't believe chief coming to race with you all that's awesome God bless you all and the kids and Kenny and Harley and uncle buck o and Dennis Mom and Dad keep on keeping on bill
Almost 100k! Early congrats! Super proud of you and the boys. It's truly insane catching a channel with barely any subs, just starting out, and being around to watch it grow.
...you have surrounded yourself with good people and this shows you have been there for them as well...
Way to go Denny! Awesome video guys!
That Malibu is almost still original! Lol. Kinda looks like a race car big Bill. The best thing is it appears you are having a lot of fun with it. Good content too, to keep us all a part of things
Denny needs to become your on staff Painter dang boy he made that look easy.
Agree. ... but paint formulations have changed in the 20 years. I'm no safety zealot, but with those polyurethane paints a cartridge respirator is a really good idea. I got a little messed up treating modern paints like the lacquer we sprayed in the 60s.
Please put the hood out in the sun for a few hrs before you install it. That was good paint you put on it! Keep up the great content!!! Now you have me wondering if I have a bad lifter in my car....
I know all about Internet issues we've been having them for over 5 years and they have done everything including digging up my front yard🤦♂️. Glad you found your motor issues. God bless Denny. Good people like him are rare gems in Today's world.
Man that Malibu is sweet!!! It's my idea of a perfect little street car. Clean as hell and sounds just as good. I love everything you have done to it. Thanks for putting out such good content on a consistent basis.
Love the step by step fixes and how detailed you make each video. Can't wait to see how it does
I love your choice of wheels on the Malibu they look perfect
How bad do you want it? Motivation will get you only so far, discipline and dedication will get you there. Old school principles of meaning what you say, and doing what you say are sadly missing in far too many people these days. Good friends like Dennis Place to you guys and some of my late fathers friends live by these principles and their friends do the same and trust gets built over decades of being there when needed and being there for them when they need help in turn. Glad you were able to find the problem with the lifters and rockers adjustments. I had some Rhoades lifters in my CJ at one time and the engine would just lay down at anything above 6200 rpm, a cam change and solid lifers and Harlan Sharpe roller rockers and it would pull really hard to 7500rpm, probably further but didn't want to twist that old FE more than that. Always good content Bill. Go fast and be safe, God bless you and your family.
Damn! Another great video. CZcams content Champion 2022!!!! Dennis is my old man's age. My old man for whatever reason stays up later than he ever has in his 70's. Weird. But hey I guess just trying to get the most out of life.
Freakin hood is giving that thumping Malibu even more Character!! 🤟🤟😎
I been a spectrum tech for 10 years in Louisiana, a crimped wire will definitely cause problems that aren't always visible to the tech and his meter. Also you could have a neighbor with bad cable wires backfeeding noise into the system causing modems to drop off. To be honest there are all kinds of things that cause equipment to drop off. If the problem persist keep calling in. Don't put up with it for months before calling back in. The more you call the more they notice, and believe me every supervisor, manager, and field tech will hear about it. At least that's how it is down here. We get emails every day with the list of repeats and are expected to answer why a customer had to call in so many times and what did we find. Good luck
@The Old Man’s Garage
I disagree entirely with Spectrum's analysis of the internet problems you are having. "Dust" and "Not having their Appliance", in the window in a excuse and just shows that the techs they have working them haven't a cue. Signal issues to the modem have to be within range, i agree. Coax and or fiber crimps / connections need to be perfect and their is no excuse for this, If a recurring problem has been your experience. My suggestion and i have plenty of experience to back it up is to ditch all of the Spectrum gear that they want you to use ( monthly rental probably ) and purchase your own cable modem ( if that is what your service is ) and just have them connect your modem to their network. Everything else downstream should be your networking gear ( Mesh networks ) work well, but i highly recommend running cat/5/6 wire as a hardwired infrastructure between buildings and using non wireless routers and switches to support wireless access points. Ditch Spectrum's gear and invest in a real network, your YT channel / business depends on it or keep being frustrated and listening to Spectrum tech excuses.
@@tuk2433 the dust excuse is bogus unless there was enough built up on the equipment to cause it to overheat, the only thing about keeping any equipment in the window would be if it overheats from roasting in the direct sun for hours which is highly unlikely this time of year as it's not even hot enough down here yet for that to happen. But yes the signal levels have to be within spec and it doesn't matter what equipment you have how expensive it may or may not be if the levels aren't good it won't work. Period. With that said there are plenty of people who have our equipment that works great with zero issues and there are cases of the opposite. Just know that if something happens to our equipment we replace it free of charge, or if you buy your own which is perfectly fine you are responsible for it, setting it up and if it takes a dump on you. But you definitely have much more control over what you get and what features said equipment has. There is no fee for the modems and the wifi is $5 a month. Which is pretty reasonable for most people. But still none of that matters if there is an issue that hasn't been resolved. And the best way to do that is make some noise if it persist. The squeaky wheel gets the grease
@@MrKKUT1984 For the average home user a all in one gateway may be fine, especially if it is broadcasting from the center of the house. Beyond this, it is limited. I have procured internet to many homes dealing with all the top ISPs and i will say, especially the residential installs the techs
knowledge is basic. Sure there are veterans who know their stuff. Renting a large corporations equipment is foolish and becomes a slave to there system. Most users are complacent and don't know any better.
@@tuk2433 I wouldn't say it's foolish at all. You go out and easily spend $200 + on your own equipment and take a lightning strike (which happens alot down here) and now all your equipment is toast. You have to go buy all new equipment again unless it's under warranty still. For most families renting the router is plenty good enough, on average that wifi 6 router covers a 2000 square foot home and supports enough bandwidth. If they have larger homes, bigger families where they may have alot of kids and everyone has devices then I tell them a mesh network is going to be a much better option for them. Another thing is not everyone has the skills or knowledge to set up Hotspots or wire a home with ethernet nor do they have the money to pay someone to do it for them. And when it comes to techs not having knowledge yeah there are some people who just aren't that good and some who are new and just don't have the experience yet. Just like IT people. And also people don't realize that a cable tech is not responsible for individually addressing your equipment with our equipment nor are they trained for that. With charter/spectrum in particular on a business account the tech is responsible for everything from the tap to the equipment which means just making sure WE have internet straight out of the modem or router. We are not responsible for YOUR equipment nor are we allowed to touch your equipment. And on residential we can hook your equipment up ie tvs, computers, tablets and so on and make sure internet is working on at least 1 device. Most techs will try hooking every up for you but if you have 1or 2 devices that aren't working out of many that are, we aren't responsible for that.
@@MrKKUT1984 I respect your position to defend the company you work for. Spectrum. But, i don't agree with your logic and how it pertains to The Old Man Garage's business and what is the best solution for them. So many better options when informed and you don't settle for the status quo. Spectrum.
Do better for your channel and business Bill. Ditch Spectrum hardware.
Love the Malibu
We put a81 Malibu Classic wagon together and it was our son's first hot rod, memories brought back from your Malibu
Thanx for That
Have a Great Day
I've been trying to get up to date with the old Man's Garage, SRC and Gen2
Wish they had episodes numbers 😪
For your suspension test you'd probably get a pretty decent idea of the effect of the shocks if your first pass you run the shocks full loose on all of the clickers then go to an actual baseline shock setting for the second.
Keep up the good work sir!
You talked about switching over to 1.5 rocker ratio. I am like Denny, have not painted for a long time but this newer paint will put you in the grave without the right mask.
I think the spacer will be an excellent addition on the Mali! Heck before when I was fuel injection I even had a throttle body spacer and loved it. Then when I motor swapped I still injoyed putting a carborator spacer on. Its almost a must have.
The super victor intake is a great intake for high rpm race applications, but in the Malibu I can't help to think an intake like a performer rpm air gap being a smaller runner dual plane would not only help throttle response but also make more torque and horsepower across the board in your current combination at every rpm range except for maybe at your max rpm...I bet just this intake swap would be worth a couple tenths in the quarter...love the content and everything you guys are doing!!! Be blessed brother!!!
Agree, stronger carb signal at the boosters w/dual plane as well.
Glad to seen Denny in this Video he’s been absent too long. And ain’t no better feeling in the world when you’re building a street car and testing at the track. You make that pass and they hand you that ticket and see you ain’t got a cage and they tell you your done too fast for no cage. Or not enough cage for the Et you just ran. It make a person smile knowing that street car is coming around.
Great video I love to see you old friends get back together even if it's in the middle of the night to give each other a helping hand just like all of us do or most of us do with our friends
Malibu is looking the business! Awesome progress Bill. Let's hope the times reflect all your effort soon.
We know they will. Bill isn't one to give up on a project. The Malibu will give back what he's putting in.
Glad to see the Malibu getting sorted out.I know you can rest a little easier after finding those bad lifters.Cant wait to see the test session.That new hood will look awesome.
The new hood looks terrific! New found power may cause the 7.5 to check out.
@20:00,, ",,, it's four o'clock in the morning,,". Back when Bill was operating his excavation business that's about when he was waking up to start his day. Now it's when he's ending his day. The work hours of the day depends on the kind of work a guy does :)
Your channel and content outweighs all others I've watched when it comes to family drag racing performance and just cars period.. love it
Another killer video Bill, Denny knocked it out of the park! Sure enjoyed Tommy and Allison’s video last night as well! Keep up the great work my friend!
Thanks for sharing. Can’t wait to see how she is going to run. 🇺🇸
Hey Bill, enjoy all the videos. I'm curious to why you didn't replace all the lifters and keep the old ones for spares. I would appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks.
Agreed, and put the old shocks back in after test & tune and you will see what the loss is for the shock data!!
Dang, I hope they didn't throw them out....
Great content. Love your Malibu. Good luck at your test and tune
Hi Bill. I am really enjoying your channel and Billy's and Tommy's. All 3 are great best of luck with the Chevy I'm looking forward to seeing it get better and better. Good luck this weekend.
Man that guy does not look his age. I was shocked when you said the number. Good guy.
I never would have guessed that Denny was in his 70’s. I guess that big block 1st gen Camaros keep you young.
Bill I started out watching Bill's channel and I still watch all of them, But I have to say that I look forward to yours. Your content and knowlage is amazing. If you ever want to sell the Malibu I'm interseted LOL. I had 4 Malibus already. Love thoes cars. Keep up the good work and teach Tommy how to rebuild that engine. Love ya all.
Only a small block Chevy can collapse 4 lifters, and still makes an 11.50 pass, lol!
Hope the Malibu performs as you hope... also, best move I ever made was dumping Spectrum and picking up FiOS thru Verizon for my internet. I pay $76.99 per month with no add-ons required. If it's available in your neighborhood, highly recommend a change.
That thing sounds a lot stronger and that Dennis paint guy was awesome looks really nice that thing gonna be fast fast more you do to it looking very cool 😎
Bill, hands down you make the best videos on the net. Love your knowledge and the humble way you all go about things....maybe not Jeremy.
Just joking of course, I was amazed you guys were painting at that time of the morning! Take care from Brisbane Australia.
Bill I think you went the right route with the lifters. Install all new for reliability and keep the used good ones as spares.
Did we watch the same video?
I'm pushing 72 and still painting. Not in the middle of the night though. lol
I'll bet you use an approved mask too.
Such a fun channel. Thanks for your time and thanks for runnin Chevrolet’s.
So happy to see everyone and everything running smoothly. Keep it up old man.
Man this was a good video seeing Mr Dennis he did s amazing job on the hood and the mailbu sounds bad ass she looking good can't wait to see it test and tune video
Bill pulled another all nighter, thanks bud we sure do appreciate ya and the rest of the crew.💯
Love the content. And the Malibu coming out of the drive way sounds so much better. Like it's really hitting on all 8. It just sounds like it's really rolling on all 8and happy. And it's always good to have family friends that will always help. Hats off to you Bill. You are Def one of the old school guys. Don't never give up on your dreams. Thank you Bill and to your family for doing this for us the viewer's.
That hood is gonna look fantastic on that car matching paint!
Love getting off work at 4 am and seeing a awesome video like this!!! Thank you again for the this information. Can’t wait to use it all.
I have been following all the channels for a long time and you guys all put out great content, but have to admit that it is a lot cooler when the whole family is in in the videos. Keep kicking ass Bill!
