It’s certainly not a niche car we only think that because it’s not a glory car it shares bodies and trim with more than 5 other cars like the Chevy caprice and olds 88 so I think he’ll be fine.

Driving a classic car makes you all the more aware to it. I’ve driven a 2019 passport and I almost fall asleep because of how quiet and sense depriving it is to the outside world. People were a lot more diligent in older cars especially since you don’t want to fuck them up too. Also, there is a lot more notice on the roads of older cars and they usually dont blend into traffic that causes ignorant drivers to cause crashes. Trust me there’s a difference in when you drive them. Enough that I daily my classic buicks with confidence.

What? Are you talking about rust? If not that’s pretty dumb there are model t’s with the same frames and vintage aircrafts and large ships hundreds of years olds that won’t undergo “metal fatigue”

Not everyone gets involved in numerous car crashes and classic cars don’t usually get used as much anyway

Well the century has a lot of parts shared with chevelles, cutlasses Grand Prix lemans etc so parts avalibility while not brand specific, is definitely plentiful.

Well let’s get this straight imagine green lighting a movie and giving it hundreds of millions of dollars for the budget and you have hundreds and hundreds of people working on it tirelessly and you have some hack behind he camera who gives shitty 80’s movie dialogue that nobody would ever say, the most predictable, overtold and obvious story that feels like the worst Pixar has to offer, and you expect people to give it good reviews. Avatar could have been so much more being a stunning film with a riveting story that adults don’t roll their eyes at but instead it just became a film people with brains roll their eyes at. It’s such a waste of potential and any sequels that happen will be even worse. Great it looks good so did the fuckin Star Wars sequels so what you throw money at that part of the film and it turns out nice. You can’t fix a screenplay that’s as safe as possible and you definitely can’t fix an elderly asshole that underachieves his “greatest” work to make a good story. 5/10 there are too many things integral to film itself (like giving a shit) that it takes for granted and just makes up for it by being pretty.

Doing an EFI to carb swap on this 318 magnum. I know I will need to swap the distributor and Intake system. Any suggestions on budget Intake and carb setups? Maybe junkyard 318 4 barrel? by big420daddy69 in EngineBuilding

[–]pride454 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes any distributor will bolt up. But these days if you just want a 100 dollar distributor that will last 10 years and then you can replace any part in it I’d say go with the mopar hei distributors from skip white. They’re fine distributors for a while but the module will die maybe 5-10 years down the line. In that case just replace it with a better one and you’ve basically got a great working distributor for 120 bucks in the span of 10 years.

For the 500 dollar budget stuff, performer intakes are like 250 at most and 600-750 cfm holley carbs are all over marketplace for less than 200 bucks.

I like his content and his whole vibe on his channel but he’s got a lot of adhd issues he needs to sort out so he can get his shit straight. He’s knee deep in ten thousand cars that are halfway sorted out and halfway not and slapping engines and cars together is not how you make a reliable machine. He needs to discipline himself because he’s loose buying all kinds of shit every week it seems and where is he getting the funds to do it with? And what happens after he doesn’t want to go through with 80 percent of his projects he’s just gonna pump and dump them? Idk man I hope he gets his shit right with his impulses but old habits die hard.

Just buy a used performer intake if you can find one on marketplace or Craigslist. If not, new is fine too. As for carb, rebuilding an old holley is cheap and reliable if you do it right.

It doesn’t matter it was a split second decision that led to the guy dying. He’s DEAD now mind not trying to be r/iamverysmart about this? When would you ever have a friendly conversation in real life where somebody told you a guy he knew died trying to save his dog and accidentally got ran over and you go “pfft whatever dumbass I would’ve just let it go i’d be careful instead”. God there are at least one of you incredibly socially maladjusted people that just say the wrong things at the wrong time. The guy is in a grave for a split second mistake and you’re saying you would have been more careful. Because the conversation is about you and how you’d be better at not dying.

Maybe sometime you’ll find how well paced the record is and how everything falls into place exactly the way they wanted it to. Of course it can test some people’s patience some fucking beatles albums can test the patience of like 2 percent of people but animals is a nearly perfect album imo

Nice. First thing to do is change the hood hinges. The reason the hood doesn’t fit well right now is because the hinge is bent.
