Rembrant Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 I don't follow very many Youtube channels, but I'm kinda fond of the Budget Buildz guy in SC (I think that's where he is). Couple of my faves here. I can watch these over anytime. https://forum.garysgaragemahal.com/Budget-Buildz-Starting-a-Bullnose-that-has-been-parked-for-29-years-tp86288.html There's also this series...fairly new Bullnose build. https://forum.garysgaragemahal.com/1985-Bullnose-build-series-on-Youtube-tp110789.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimJam300 Posted February 3, 2022 Author Share Posted February 3, 2022 I'm a big Podcast guy, in fact it's about all I have listened to for the last 5-6 years. I very rarely listen to the radio anymore. Anyway, the bad news is that I haven't found much in the way of car/truck stuff to listen to. Yeah this week at work I only found a few on Spotify, and I listened to a couple. First was Wrench Nation which I turned off after 15 minutes. The host was basically a radio shock jock. The second was The Guild of Automotive Restorers Podcast. While really insightful about classic Ferraris, Bugattis, Porsches, etc etc etc, it was more for the people who send their car to a shop for professional restoration. It reminded me of when I used to go to Monterey Car Week and get some oldster to monologue about the dozens of priceless cars he's owned. Cool stuff if you're interested in unobtanium-mobiles.

Have you listened to Bronco Talk? Here's a link to one I posted with Chris Lott. You can follow him on IG under Lotts of Vintage. He has some cool trucks and Broncos. https://forum.garysgaragemahal.com/Chris-Lott-on-Bronco-Talk-Podcast-tp77585.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty_S85 Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Luke on Thrunderhead289 can take a LONG time to get to any kind of a point. But he has some smarts on occasion. Smarter than me. Stuff I watch is mostly for the entertainment value and not for educational purposes. Mike's Carbs is good for learning about the carbs. Scotty Klimer can annoy the stink off *well you know*. Me and luke have butted heads numerous times mainly over his insane view that ported vacuum for vacuum advance will give you better fuel economy than manifold vacuum. He cant seem to grasp the vacuum is the same the only difference between ported and manifold is when vacuum is there. He claims that you cant run as much initial with manifold vacuum as you have driveability problems but then cant explain why my '82 F150 with a smog 302 stock engine (rebuilt in 92) is running 12* initial timing with manifold vacuum and runs dead smooth but with ported vacuum wont run dead smooth no matter how many adjustments you try following his way. That is why I dont follow him cause he takes personal preference and proclaims it as proven fact which is just wrong. Plus he loves to cite how technology is obsolete such as my vacuum economizer valve on my '78 Mercury that adds more timing to the yellow strain relief DSII on my 351W that nets me close to 26 mph on the highway and 18 city. He says that tech is obsolete but yet he keeps pushing how much better carbs are than fuel injection even though there hasnt been a new car produced with a carb in over 30 years as they are obsolete ways of metering fuel. Scotty is just a fake to put it simply. I seen him give horrible advice such as a kid said he had a 87 F150 with a 5.0L that he recently rebuilt and he was wondering how long he should run it before he makes the switch from conventional to synthetic. scotty told him that he cant switch he has to start off with synthetic. Then there is the whole fiasco where he was showing a brass compression fitting that clearly said on the package "Not for automotive brake use" and proclaim it was a acceptable fix for fixing a rusty brake line ignoring the fact that in just about all US states a compression fitting on your brake line will fail your vehicle in a safety inspection. Then another he talks about myths and proclaims the 3,000 mile oil change interval was because cars didnt have oil filters and that his father had a '56 Fairlane that didnt have an oil filter and they changed it at 3,000 miles. Im over here like really? The Y block had a oil filter when it was introduced in 1953 to replace the flat head V8. Not to mention the Y blocks had a 2,000 mile oil change interval cause they were draft tube systems. The 3,000 mile oil change interval didnt come about till the introduction of the PCV system and it slowly increased from the early days of 3,000 miles to 5,000 miles. The 351W in my '78 Mercury cites to change the filter ever 4,000 miles and the oil every 8,000 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Scotty is a rambling mess. I use them more for ideas of things to look at for someone who is at the edge of understanding (me). I've been around cars and people messing with them for most of my 55 years. But the internet gives a lot of things to think on or learn or reject. My 2020 Hyundai says 7500 mile oil change intervals - that just feels wrong to me. It hurts my soul. I sticking with my 5k interval. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sticking with my 5k interval. I agree, thats why I follow many different automotive channels on youtube as they give me ideas, ideas I may have never thought about. Some like Auto Resto Mod shows you how to do upgrades on a budget by doing it yourself. They even did a video with a 1G to 3G upgrade among other things. I like the guy that does the videos cause hes funny but he doesnt just ramble on with click bait or try to act relatable his videos just goes to the point.

Derek is smarter than he lets on - he did a video where he diagrammed how to figure out proper rocker arm angle when he was building an engine. I'll never use that, but sometimes he really provides some great material to learn from. Even his revival videos will teach you HOW to revive something with the best chance of ultimate car survival. Not to just put a battery in and hit the starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried the 1/2 lift method for my 302 build and found the roller tip on the base circle of the cam was already halfways to the edge of the valve and I know with over 1/2" of lift that the roller tip would ride off. I ended up ordering 6.400" instead of the 6.600" that I calculated at 1/2". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
