Following you and Austin from down under Australia 🇦🇺😁🤘🏿 keep the vids coming.. you guys give a great insight into what it’s like as all round car fans. Love your cars!!!😁
Great to see old cars clicking off the miles. Wish there was more back road driving and less interstate, but hey. Regarding the creeping coolant temps at slow speeds, I have rarely seen an electric fan help with that issue. Usually people install them directly on the surface of the radiator, which reduces the effective cooling area of the fan (counterproductive). And when people use a flat metal shroud with an e-fan, they often block too much air when driving at speed. In my experience, a mechanical fan with a heavy duty fan clutch and a 19.5" fan is the way to go. Lastly, we fixed the fuel boiling issue in our GTOs by using ethanol-free gas. Made a huge difference.
I realize I didn’t tell you the carb setup - it’s an original quadrajet for a 1969 Ram Air 3 GTO judge. A friend gave me the carb back in 1998 when I stripped the intake thread on my original 1967 quadrajet. As far as I know it’s never been rebuilt, at least it hasn’t while I’ve owned it, and it seems to work. It’s has some issues but no major leaks and works well. The biggest problem is that it has a hairline crack in the float bowl which leaks down into the engine, so it’s hard to start on cold startups.
@@MechanicalAdvantageGarage that's just a little tiny quirk though at least it fills up quickly and fires right up it's not like an all-day process of getting it to start couple extra cranks ain't nothing It's cool you're still rocking the QJ So many go to Holly and Edelbrock
Seeing all the different cars cruising down the highway is my favorite scenes.
Thanks, I’ll try to put more in
Nice highway Cruze looked like the 70s on a summer day good to see theres more then cars on wheels 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎
It’s a real time warp
Thanks for bringing us along for those of us that couldn't make it for some reason or another

Yeah I have to figure out something to keep this cool because running the heater is killing me
Bring back wing windows. St.Paul,Minnesota.
They are literally saving my life because I don’t have a/c in the car
