Cool Sir, hey we tinker and get them right. Love how we help one another, love that you speak that way Sir! Hey, I work on a 1963 Chevy C10, I like to learn from others, I remain open to learn.. looks really cool, sounds good I’d like to share an opinion and express my findings on a couple details I noticed Sir… I noticed a really interesting thing when I like you preferred to leave the ignition advance system inoperative by not using the vacuum canister at the base of distributor. I discovered and used UA-cam and tested the following: You’re down south so I know you experienced this overheating which can be eliminated Sir, by re-enabled vacuum advance.. secret here is to use 1 of the 2 available “manifold” vacuum port at the base of the Holly 600 carburetor in the footage below the vacuum plug you noticed damaged in your video. My thing I noticed was the idle is enhanced and the time the spark ignites the charge-air is the “KEY” to running “COOLER” at those long red lights. I was stubborn like most and thought… well I’m seeing all this on UA-cam let’s experiment? Mine is a 1963 Chevy C10 with a 383 small block Stroker with a Howard’s cam, not much vacuum and the tuning is so much more possible “After I went with the vacuum advance system working.. Also, don’t get caught-up in the old “Only use ported and only use manifold ridiculous discussion Sir. Look-up “David Visard” this is an older gentleman whom worked with GM, when GM, was beginning to become eco friendly. Going with the “ported” vacuum signal resulted in lower emissions. Reason being the engine produces much more hydrocarbon emissions with “Manifold” vacuums being used at idle all over the USA at traffic lights big polluters then with “manifold vacuum.”… Manifold vacuum is less eco friendly “but” the engine runs more efficiently…Mr. David Visard was there and I trust a veteran of the history of the subject and I go with the reasoning. High Performance move to enable that system with the - Manifold vacuum used to operate… Cool cam in that truck Sir! Sounds great.. keep the wheels they look cool= Peace😊
Yes sir! I appreciate you watching and I appreciate even more the knowledge you shared with me. I've watched a few of his videos and have learned some things from him. A lot of people wouldn't because his videos may seem boring to some but, I'm always open to learn. Being entertained doesn't always work out. I may still hook the vacuum advance back up one day. Just weighing my options and continuing to do research. Thanks again dude! Be blessed ✊🏾✊🏾
Most people put too big a carburetor on. The engine is probably running better with a amaller carb. Carb tuning is difficultcat best without a dyno. You can get close usually good enough in most cases. The only comment about a new cam is make sure all the parts lifters springs etc. Are all designed to work together. Very good video Thank You.
No doubt. The engine is nothing more than an air pump. I could put a dominator on it and as long as it's jetted right, the engine won't know the difference. Thank you for watching!✊🏾✊🏾
Sounds really nice. I could listen to your exhaust all day too!!! I use vinyl plugs on all my carburetor ports. They don’t crack like the rubber ones do. They come in a package with different colors and sizes. Awesome video!!! Thanks for your input and knowledge. Very helpful.
Yes sir! I appreciate you!. Where can I get these vinyl plugs? Are they the same style plugs that come in used engines from the junkyard but, in a smaller size?
@@WorkingwithBobby My vinyl plugs have been on my carburetor for 7 years. Still hold’n strong. The only thing is: DISCOLORATION… They definitely do’n their job Fo’Sho !!!
Oh yeah. I installed 2 40 series flow masters with old carb. I couldnt hear the exhaust. When i put new intake and carb it sounded like a hot rod. Cam big time. I loved it and still do
When i bought my carb i thought it was pre tuned. Comin from summit they usually are. My choke wasnt even set right. I opened it completely put the spring on the pin because it wasn't on before. After i did that it finally idle great.
Love the build man I’ve watched most of your videos and kept up with the build , truck has got such i nice sound to it I was wanting to do it to mine I got a 94 Silverado and I was wanting to use the same cam I just had a few questions before I order the parts did you change the valve springs? And are you still running the stock torque converter?
Yes sir! Thanks for watching! I appreciate all the love! The summit cam didn't require a valve spring upgrade. It works well with stock vortec heads. Also, it's the largest cam you can get before having to upgrade the converter. I ran a 1800-2100 stall. Hope this helps!✊🏾✊🏾
Good question! I'm no expert by any stretch of the imagination but, I do know that the carb comes new with three different cams in the box. If your carb did not come new or you maybe lost the other cams, you can order them online and choose the one that's right for your application.
What kind of carb do you have? I'm only a novice at best tuning these holley carbs. They all pretty much do the same thing though. Can you tell me what you're struggling with? I'll help you if I can...
I ran it to a 12volt key on source. If you run it to the alternator, the choke would have power all the time. Even when the key is in the off position and burn up the coil that operates the choke. Try to find an unused KEY ON source in the fuse box to tap I to.
@richardporter4281 I appreciate it but, I ran that wire to a key on source a long time ago somewhere in the truck where I don't even remember right now. Thanks for watching!✊🏾✊🏾
Yes sir. I am since it's the only one I have with an electronic choke. I like it because of the choke. It comes in handy in the winter. I would actually like to try the aftermarket EFI systems. I'm not as good as I feel I should be tuning these carburetors so, every now and then I have to tinker with it. I'm probably just getting lazy!😁😁
@@WorkingwithBobby I’m doing a 5.7 vortec Swap removing a 305. And im going with a carburetor but don’t know what all I have to do. Do have any other platforms like instagram
@marquez74100 that's cool. I do have a video detailing what I have on my truck for the swap. You should check it out. It may help answer your questions. I only have Facebook and I don't do much of my UA-cam stuff on there.
The 650 double pumper ran fine on there. It actually performed better. I had to change it back because the 650 didn't have a choke on it and it was horrible to keep running during winter cold starts. Remember, the engine will on use what air and fuel it needs. Carburetors have a negative effect on engines when they are jetted wrong for that particular engine.

That's what's its all about! Trying things and working our stuff. Glad it worked out for you!✊🏾✊🏾
Funny how some things we think are so complicated cause we over think it. Well done , yes and keep wrenching. My SBF rich on start up too
Yes sir! We seem to over think everything sometimes. I appreciate you sir! Hope you get your SBF figured out also!✊🏾✊🏾

Ok, I never looked at it that way. I wonder if I need to mess with this on my carb?...
DAMN that thing sounds good thanks for the vid i just got that holley and dropped it on my 1st gen dodge

this helped me. Thank you
I'm glad to hear that! I am most appreciative when the content I post blesses someone when they watch it. ✊🏾✊🏾
The red cam. In my carb gets stucked and it has to be pushed manually down. Any idea .Thanks

I have no idea what’s happening.same happened to me .good luck .
Thanks! It's just the basic initial set up. I'm not an expert so I can't go much deeper than this. Thanks for watching.
Thanks brother, where bout you at down south, I'm I'm Pass Christian Ms
No problem! East of you in SC.
Great video and really good explanation on the electrical choke
Thanks man! I'm glad you enjoyed! ✊🏾✊🏾
i live in myrtle beach need some help tuning my carb
What kind of carb do you have? I'm only a novice at best tuning these holley carbs. They all pretty much do the same thing though. Can you tell me what you're struggling with? I'll help you if I can...
Where did you run the positive wire I was told you can hook it up to the alternator is that true
I ran it to a 12volt key on source. If you run it to the alternator, the choke would have power all the time. Even when the key is in the off position and burn up the coil that operates the choke. Try to find an unused KEY ON source in the fuse box to tap I to.
@@WorkingwithBobby Connet it to the stator post on the alternator only has power when Motor is running
@richardporter4281 I appreciate it but, I ran that wire to a key on source a long time ago somewhere in the truck where I don't even remember right now. Thanks for watching!✊🏾✊🏾
Are you still running this carb? If so how are you liking it?
Yes sir. I am since it's the only one I have with an electronic choke. I like it because of the choke. It comes in handy in the winter. I would actually like to try the aftermarket EFI systems.

Yo could you help me I’m doing a carb swap Im in sc!! As well
What do you need help with?
@@WorkingwithBobby I’m doing a 5.7 vortec
Swap removing a 305. And im going with a carburetor but don’t know what all I have to do. Do have any other platforms like instagram
@marquez74100 that's cool. I do have a video detailing what I have on my truck for the swap. You should check it out. It may help answer your questions. I only have Facebook and I don't do much of my UA-cam stuff on there.
@@WorkingwithBobby ok bet what’s yo facebook
How do u have your timing set
12 degrees advance at idle and 34 degrees advance at 2200 rpm or total timing.
@@WorkingwithBobby is that with or without vacuum line hook up on the distributor
@dynamitebmxgaming5748 I run mine with out the vacuum advance hooked up. This is all on mechanical advance. I have my vacuum advance plugged off.
I never run double pump carburetor. 600 is great for mildly cam engines. Double pump carburetor is way too much for your setup.
The 650 double pumper ran fine on there. It actually performed better. I had to change it back because the 650 didn't have a choke on it and it was horrible to keep running during winter cold starts. Remember, the engine will on use what air and fuel it needs. Carburetors have a negative effect on engines when they are jetted wrong for that particular engine.
You ever been told you look like Eddie Murphy?
Not that I can remember but, I hope looking like him to you blessed you in some way from watching my video.✊🏾✊🏾
