@JosephPPreston this is a very common conversation it seems the info points towards ported is good on stock vehicles as it was more of an emissions device originally and manifold favors high performance engines. What I found in this case after hours and hours of tryin both is that it runs significantly better on the manifold vaccum then ported. However I'll try the different rpm like you stated out of curiosity and see if i get a different result

Not yet, no belt change, fluid change or flush... nothing.

@hd114ul7 always a must do in my opinion especially if you up the ratio which in this case went from the stock sbc 1.5 to a 1.6. Plus there's the cool factor as wexhaustcar definitely sounds a bit nastier with them installed

@hd114ul7 I added a larger ground strap as I've learnt the hard way on that one before. Adding the msd module would be obvious help though forsure

@cantwealljustgetalong2 I know it's the easiest conclusion to jump to but not this time. Nothing but full synthetic oils run and changed often in every mechanical part of this vehicle which I've had since new. All highway driving cruising between 50 to 70 mph is easily 80 to 90% of the driving this thing got. Believe me when I say I was very surprised when this happened. Bone stock and always 91-93 run in it. I believe its just another classic example of engineered to fail.

@JosephPPreston these are platinum plugs. I do want to try running the Autolites just haven't gotten a set yet

@@BCars_Garage You can run whichever brand you'd like ( I personally run NGK for the reliability I PERSONALLY have had) just make sure you get the copper flavored ones. Cheapest in the bucket, it'll make you scratch your head, but it's due to the much shorter life span BECAUSE of the amount of material its able to convert into the SPARK energy to provide a better combustion event. I only run copper on high performance applications, elsewise you're pissing away reliability in the LONG drives for better HP in the short drives lol.

@m.i.a-s.7750 it's been great so far🤷‍♂️

I try to keep a close eye on it. I really do need to invest in an AFR gauge though

@rickt2100 spot on maybe even a touch below what it should be. Always a good idea to check it from time to time though

@born2wrench that was the first thing I replaced, you're right though very common for those to go bad

@danmac6185 this is true

@@fairbrotherdamon5932 .030 over so 355 it ain't out there winning any awards just a good simple combo that sounds good and is a blast to drive

@JustinToledojr just a small hydraulic cam in there with flat tops nothing fancy. Runs great for what it is. Might put a 6AL in it just because though

😂classic

A great place to start is with a timing light I 100% agree there

I can't imagine why they've always made excellent vehicles in my opinion.

@@Thundarr995 which is also a great tip as many cars that are converted from points to HEI skip this step. Most people just slam the distributor in there and think they're done

@Thundarr995 it's a red wire however it's a new one. I believe its 14 gauge although I'm definitely going to check because now I'm curious. That's a great tip I have a 65 pontiac that was also converted to hei from points years ago I'll check that one as well

How many amps does it draw.?

@user-rx2kv5jw9m fixed it in less than 60 seconds I can't complain

@timreimer713 you had me at burnouts. The rest is true but can be added. This thing knocks down 15 to 16 mpg consistently which is great for an old car

​@BCars_Garage what kind of car is that? Year make model?

@timreimer713 1969 Beaumont the Canadian Chevelle if you're not familiar with the Acadian/Beaumont line

@BCars_Garage dang thats awesome, I'm familiar, I'm canadian. I also have an old car, but not as cool. An 81 riviera. It's a piece of crap tho. A real headache

@timreimer713 any year Riv is worth fixing those were great cars in their day and there's not many of those around anymore. I've always thought the Riviera was right up there with any Cadillac in comfort and options

@colbygraves9298 pretty impressive for a tank I think

@colinkennedy4646 what a beautiful first car that would've been.

@samosei8412 it's cheap insurance in my mind. All they did was update the computer and make the knock sensor more sensitive to pull more timing when a lower grade fuel is used. 91+ octane is cheap insurance on any boosted vehicle.

I can't imagine why someone wouldn't opt for the 5.0 for an extra 100 or 150 a month twice the car for not much money.

I know the RS gets going in a hurry didn't know the regular one moves well too

it's getting stripped down and lots of new metal is going to get hung in the process I'll get it all cleaned up once that parts done

@BCars_Garage Nice.

302 is a great engine in these cars

I did videos for both depending on where a person is from

@dennisd4452 they did what they could with what they had. Engineering has come a long ways that's forsure.

Thankfully no

I want to keep those as far away as possible from my cars

@jkoonce4244 a 10$ part and 15 minutes on the side of the road ain't so bad though

Haha laughes in plastic thermostat, water pump, intake, valve cover, oil pan, etc. Even harder laugh in leadless con rod bearings, i pads for dashes and propritary infotainment systems. Still laughing in the manuals schedualed life of vehicles being an average of 100,000 miles. That cars 60 years old and i bet it starts you corprate dog.

@stevend4544 it'll spark right up. I don't think most people are up to speed with the terrible materials that are going into new vehicles or their lackluster reliability. My Rdx had an engine out head gasket at 74k miles and my expedition had phasers done at 50 and now 10k later I think the head gasket might be bad. Low on coolant with no visible leaks and oil level crept up on the dipstick. Parked till the dealer can get a look at it for yet another warranty claim

@holma2572 I've seen everything from 4.5 to 4.9 the outgoing 2.3 was slower

@AcuraAddicted I wish I were one of those people nothing but 91 or 93 run in this thing since day 1. Everything in my household runs premium except my old truck. I had really hoped for hundreds of thousands of miles but no luck this time.

@JohnGordon-ll3pi longest trip it's done was only about 800 miles round-trip when it was new. Very comfortable for long drives though. I'd take it from New York to L.A tommorow without hesitation

I can't imagine what it would've been like in the v8, 10 or 12 days what a sound that would've been

@@BCars_Garage Do you know about the F1 blown diffuser? That sound was amazing😍

​@MIKA_SUBSCRIBE ill check it out.

They dont sound bad. In person they sound pretty good. Its definitely a very unique sound. I definitely do prefer the older cars sound, i have heard the v8 RB7 and Rb8 in person, and those sound really good.

@@RespectTheLegend agreed it sounds much better in person than on TV.

Hard to beat the classic v8 rumble

Unfortunate because it would only add to the experience if it did

@@BCars_Garage Acura is trying too hard to be like ever other manufacturer. I owned a used Acura legend 1989 LS, of course it had a lot if miles on it and suspension was shot when i drove it. But to the point the car drove smoothly and shifted smoothly. The smooth v6 had a good amount of power, superbly comfortable and well appointed for its time. I finally bought a brand new 2011 MDX base and this car has been excellent, comfortable and reliable. Since it was the base model there sre no gimmick buttons or modes, just a naturally aspirated 6 cylinder engine with 300HP.

@danielmelendez9943 I'm not sure when they made this poor decisions but it's certainly hurting the brand. Also I owned a 92 Acura Legend and absolutely loved that car

@@Taffy924 I use it to help me sleep at night

@@BCars_Garage smart man!

@James-ej7wz this is true. Well worth the wait though

Its a dream right can only fake it so much haha. The ol 289 has a long ways to go

@@AcuraAddicted I did and glad I it as the head gasket went at 74k miles (120km) and it was thankfully covered it was an engine out ordeal so I can't imagine what that would have set me back

@@snootyfox.indahouse so a recall with no fix?

Yup

@aarongolden1891 now I feel like I have to try it 😄

@brianwalker1386 chevy in a pontiac I can't bring myself to chevy swap a ford when the Ford engines are just as good if not better sometimes

@killmozzies there's been some very good polishes over the years. There was a paste called magic I used to use and it was amazing
