A friend of mine had a 71 roadrunner back in the 80s. It had a 440/4 speed, torker 2 , Holley, mini tubbed. N/50 15 M/T tires, .509 cam. It was the fastest car in town ! Cheers Nick ! This brought back memories.
A honda accord 6 cylinder wood blow it away today..or my 2009 sts v 500hp caddy..todays technology wow. I member once drag racing a plymouth024 omni sport in my 1979 trans am anniv addition ..the guy was blowin my doors in saying h is that all u got
@@UKESRfertilizer You gotta have the harley davidson mind set. It's the idle, the lope of the engine and how it feels more than beating someone in a race just to push it too hard and always rebuilding and replacing. These old muscle cars have a spirit and feel to them that hard to describe.
My Grandfather Ray use to say "Behind every train wreck is an engineer!!" and he owned his own service stations after WWII until 1980. The man taught me a lot!
It's good to see Nick, acting the way I do when I come across situations that keep giving me the finger. Engineering at it finest. These so called engineers, I know they aren't using the stuff they produce. Thanks for sharing. Peace to my brothers. This guy, what a awesome mechanic, and honest as the day is long. God bless.
I find that cursing in a demonic voice is sometimes necessary for things like getting that spark plug you can't get to start threading on to see things my way.
I know EXACTLY what you mean by "situation that keeps giving me the finger" My 73' Jag XKE 12 cyl (I've had it for 30 years) LOVES to tell me what to go do to myself. (I'm sure it's the Britt. way of getting even for the tea party!) Leaking oil? What's a matter with you Yank? A proper English car should mark it's teratory. Dependable electronic systems? Have you not herd of Lucas the Lord of Darkness? Tommy. Silly American....he he he....
For a short time, I had a Dodge Coronet Custom which looked almost just like that Plymouth, and it only had a 318 in it, but life's misfortunes separated me from it. [sad eyes]
Nick, you're the iconic Guru of Mopar, and everything muscle!! Love the detail videos you give us. Its so nice to see these cars and engines from your prospective. Thanks
A bit confused, you loosen the 3 screws on the plastic choke cap and turn it to adjust the choke and the idle screw is on the other side by the linkage.I think Nick needs to switch to decaf.
Well, it’s always good to hear from fans. 👍 If you want that address, it’s on Nick’s Facebook page. The link is in our ‘about’ section. Thanks, Michael.
I hardly ever cursed. Then I started working on cars. Lol. Try as hard as I want, it's impossible if the car/engine is giving me some kind of difficulty or trouble. Lol.
I'm Okay with frustration until the person starts taking it out on me when i'm trying to help them! I'm done! They can fix it on there own! I have a friend that would do that when he couldn't figure something out. It aint my fault! If you cant fix it don't take on the job! I refuse to work with people that do this!
I have to admit Nick, that when you release a new video, it's a highlight moment of the day. It's like a serial which I'm hooked in. I'm writing this message even I haven't watched this yet. Just great stuff, I KNOW in advance.
the wonderful aroma of cooking Goodyears makes all that pain in the rear engineering nonsense disappear in an ear to ear smile after you mash it to the floor. I can smell that burnout all the way from here,lol! thanks again guys!
On Holley vacuum secondary carbs (and maybe double pumpers without 4 corner idle screws) there is a screw that you can only get to from beneath to crack open the secondaries to act like a vacuum leak that raises the idle for a cam that has a lot of overlap at idle so that you don't have to open the mains so far to get it to idle and have tipped the throttle and exposed the transition slot which then decreases the signal to the idle circuit. I believe that is what Nick was adjusting, not the fast idle screw.
Matthew Mann , I worked around cars for a long time, I knew exactly how Nick felt being frustrated with this carburetor issue and the shifter issue. Peace brother!
Very cool car. Sounds like it has lots of grunt. I had a '71 with a 383. A UPS truck t-boned me and totaled it back in '92. Was always pissed about that.
It was worth the time getting through the video to see those 2 burnouts. Well done! However, I was cringing while Nick & crew were scratching up the customer's black fender paint with their jean rivets and even their belt buckles! Isn't it standard to use some sort of fender guard to work on classic cars?
Seeing that camera footage on the burnout reminds me of a trick we used to use back then to get that old Hotchkiss rear suspension to handle like a ladder bar setup with a stiff sway bar on it. Bolt two overload spring stops to the front half of the leaf springs making them as stiff as ladder bars and turning the rear axle into the sway bar. Of course you can just use two half leafs and get some independent travel. Depends on how you want it to perform: heavy for drag only, lighter for street handling.

Rough day for Nick not a fan of this sucks when a car fights you! Never seen him rush like this that’s how mistakes happen:( Guy is a master but getting burned out from overworking can ruin anything it sure did for me:( Never ever thought I’d see them work on a classic without fender blankets:( Happens to all of us I know I was there the other day with a 383 RB that all of a sudden lost oil pressure man did I flail. Much respect to Nick that is how you do a burnout!!! Cheers
Ahhh. Time Warp! I’m at the old mans shop, it’s 1972 and my sixth grade self is sweeping the showroom floor for lunch money after school. That big block mopar is doing another burnout at the light.....memories!!!
He wasn't swearing at it he was offering words of encouragement. That big ole girl looks good in black. Take the Plymouth sticker off and slap a number 11 on her she's good at those!
Nick, Snap-On tools sell a $318.00 screwdriver to adjust that Holley carb. The quiet type are the ones to watch out for when they get pissed...........Me..... I'm old school: my garage is rated XXX when I'm dropping in an engine. WE LOVE YOU IN VEGAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i heard someone mention " installing a line lock". it's not a drag car on slicks and there's a giant boat anchor big block in the front with lots of torque
JNaasty. That fast idle screw has no hex head on it, and faces downward, impossible to adjust unless you remove carb. Nice car, had many little issues with the ignition also. Anyways, with all that done, and no fender covers, it all went well.
Wow, never heard bleeps before here....gotta love some of the aftermarket garbage. You have a great crew Nick, all hands on deck for the Plymouth. Nice burnouts!
The customer ain't satisfied till you take it out and do a smoke show with the car lol!! I love those 72 Plymouth Road Runners/Satellites the body style looks so awesome I use to have a 73 Satellite with a 340 in it but my favorite body is the 72 it has the sexy body with a beautiful ass end on it :)
The first time Nick has shown any impatience or angst working on a car. Otherwise he is a pillar of patience. I start saying some of "those" words changing my oil. I certainly don't blame him after seeing what he was up against working on this Plymouth.
if you hold the throttle wide open it sticks out the bottom just far enough to adjust or I think that was the holley street carbs that did. may have to be cold/cold choke also. EDIT. sounds like they changed the design later on, going by other comments.just wonderful....
Purists hate it but a Superbird wing looks bitchin on a fuselage body. Like it was meant for it. Would go great here since it already has the giant Plymouth decals.
Youre right.. there should have been a fender protector on the car.. and a bunch of new ones were ordered after so many of you guys pointed it out. But remember, Nick doesn't own belts with sharp buckles on them. Thanks for watching.
I had a 1972 Plymouth Satellite....Loved It!... Midnight Blue... Green Bench interior... 318 Auto... It could do awesome burnouts. I miss that car. Sold it in 1990...Mistake!
I bought a '69 Charger in '77 for $750. This was a 383 Magnum, 727 Posi with house carpeting. Rough getting things sorted out but the one thing i always struggled with was rebuilt Holley 4bbls. I'll never forget the day i got a decent tax return and ordered a nice NEW Carter AFB. Never had carb problems again and no, I didn't have to remove the carb to adjust the idle (WTF??!!).
I noticed Nick had a belt on with a metal buckle and I also noticed there was no Fender covers. You could tell he really wanted that's 72 out of the garage. Time and space is money.
You gotta love this guy..... Did you see when NICK was throwing his tantrum that guy that works for him came by with the tires he couldn't get out-of-the-way fast enough....lol
Nick Rules!!!! Great holeshot, nice 20 footer, feel better now Nick after that carb toyed w you, the master?, nice satellite, needs the Tuff steering wheel, looks just like a Roadrunner
The fast idle speed screw is a bastard to get to on a Holley carb. However, I was able to get to it without taking the carburetor off the engine (1967 Chrysler New Yorker 440). This is how I did it: Remove the 3 screws that hold the electric choke to the carburetor body; pull it out of the way, then you have all the room you need to get to the screw. Usually a half turn up or down (depending on whether you want to raise or lower the fast idle RPM) using a small wrench does the trick.
Electrix Ladyland. This screw did not have a hex screw head on it. I wish it did. In some cases, you do WOT and make your adjustments, but in this case not possible. Thanks for the input.
That’s a beast I rather have this than any car now in days pure American muscle love he sound and the body I wish my z28 have that type of power lol great video nick
She's a looker.... That thing is just one sexy beast. DAMN! I hear David Lee Roth with that car- "I'm talkin' about a yankee rose!" Sorry, it makes me feel like a teen again. Hehe Love the burnout test alley, Nick. So worth the frustration with the issues it had.
All of that work and it was still a Plymouth.... You cant get frustrated if you are a Plymouth lover when they do what plymouths do.. :) Thats like loving windows but hating that you can see through them...
right on, open throttle to expose adjustment... use 1/4" wrench on adjustment screw... that adjustment accepts a 1/4" hex head but misleadingly also accept flat head screwdriver. i have the same carb. nicks the man tho, anybody would get frustrated with that design...
Problem is, the adjustment screw on this carb was round, with a standard screwdriver slot on the end. The only way at this one was to pull the carb. Thanks for watching. 👀
uhhh, have you ever seen a quadra/jet/bog/dog @ Electrix Ladyland? I can 100% say that's a holley and not a quadrabog. sounds like someone changed the screw on that one or maybe some custom OEM for X car manufacture
I hung around a lot of car guys back in the early 80s. My neighbor always would trade around different muscle cars. He had some sweet cars. One was a 68 road runner standard with a 440. After about a week he traded off. We asked him why said he was afraid he was going kill himself. We all laughed about it about a few days later the dude he traded his GTO wrapped that Road Runner around a telephone pole. Lucky he wasn’t killed. Ah the power of the Mopar
Love the sound of a 440 that will make nick feel better good to let loose that thing got some balls doubt very good at the track if you can make it hook awesome video
I remember going to Sanair Race Track in Canada for the NHRA nationals years ago . Maybe Jean Guy Chartrand will ring a bell with his Hemi Hawk that he brought to Oswego I think it was a twin turbo 500 cube monster on alky .
Nick invited the Plymouth into the shop, and it just did not want to leave. You know you are at the right speed shop when they have a bleach box on the road out front.
Can't say I blame ya ,if we repair it ,I'm atleast going to make sure we did it correctly,hands on testing is the only way to know for sure. Very nice whip. I'd like to bring u my c10 Nick .
Hey Nick have you considered coming to Australia to see The Chrysler’s On The Murray car show it’s an all Mopar event it’s Australian muscle you can check out videos on UA-cam great videos on the channel btw
I've always loved that body style. Man! I have never seen Mr Nick that pissed. Putting the idle screw facing down is just plumb dumb. But the results sound so good.
A friend of mine had a 71 roadrunner back in the 80s. It had a 440/4 speed, torker 2 , Holley, mini tubbed. N/50 15 M/T tires, .509 cam. It was the fastest car in town ! Cheers Nick ! This brought back memories.

Silly American....he he he....
1972 Satellite Sebring/Roadrunner always been a favorite body style
I prefer the tail of the 71.
and those sidemarker lights.
I had a '72 Satellite, so kinda biased..
if a 72' satellite showed up on craigslist for the right price with a hard top, i'd be just as thrilled to own it as i would a 71'
Or is it a GTX?

I could've listened to him clank that shifter for at least another 15 min! Beautiful burnout, 440 runs strong!
That second launch sounding like the beginning of the chase in Bullitt when the Charger first
slammed on the gas, lol.

Someone PLEASE send Nick some NICE fender covers. Thank You.
Haha! Need the address? Thanks for watching.
Yes of course we need an address ...
But you probably don't want 100 pieces of extra mail per day arriving at the shop.
Maybe use P.O Box for every few day delivery/pickup.

I understand the frustration but with Holley style carbs all you gotta do is hold the throttle wide open to gain access and adjust
Nicks the kind of mechanic I wish I'd grown up around . A MOPAR ONE !
Nick yes you need some “NICK’S GARAGE” fender covers! Get them made I will buy two! Another NICK’S GARAGE product!
Tim Butler. Fender covers? I will look into it, Thanks.

Great vid as usual...…….Wish I could visit the shop on a Sat Morning and share a coffee.. Hear those Mopars rolling in
Hahahaha! That was the best part - Nick losing his rag! Should show more of that !!!! Keep up the good work Nick's Garage!
That green interior is to die for. I love that.
if you hold the throttle wide open it sticks out the bottom just far enough to adjust or I think that was the holley street carbs that did. may have to be cold/cold choke also.

Leaning over the fender with his belt on @ 1:57. I guess there's not charge for added patina and Joe gets his car back for the weekend.

Probably from like the gasser era , Anyhoo good chat sir, thanks for sharing, peace my brother, Happy motoring
Awesome as always Nick but hey what a sill place to put an idle screw aye!
You work on my old Mopar without a fender cover, I slap you silly.

Love the burnout test alley, Nick. So worth the frustration with the issues it had.
Yo Nick all you had to do to adjust the fast idle speed was open the throttle and then you can get a 1/4" wrench on the screw lol
tron696. Yes, I am aware of that, but not with this carb.
The way that you adjust them carbs , is to hold the throttle full open and the choke full closed, and the screw will come up so it can be adjusted.
All of that work and it was still a Plymouth.... You cant get frustrated if you are a Plymouth lover when they do what plymouths do.. :)
Thats like loving windows but hating that you can see through them...
well you don't need to lift the carb to adjust that idle screw..... but I'm glad you did it anyway.. I need to make this adjustment on mine!
right on, open throttle to expose adjustment... use 1/4" wrench on adjustment screw... that adjustment accepts a 1/4" hex head but misleadingly also accept flat head screwdriver. i have the same carb. nicks the man tho, anybody would get frustrated with that design...

Nope. It's a Rochester Quadrajet. :-)
uhhh, have you ever seen a quadra/jet/bog/dog @ Electrix Ladyland? I can 100% say that's a holley and not a quadrabog.
sounds like someone changed the screw on that one or maybe some custom OEM for X car manufacture
When did Rochester start writing "HOLLEY" on their carbs?
I hung around a lot of car guys back in the early 80s. My neighbor always would trade around different muscle cars. He had some sweet cars. One was a 68 road runner standard with a 440. After about a week he traded off. We asked him why said he was afraid he was going kill himself.

8 bleeps in 14 seconds....a new world record. 😄 Love watching Nick's vids....if I had a quarter of his knowledge, I'd be a happy man.
I remember going to Sanair Race Track in Canada for the NHRA nationals years ago . Maybe Jean Guy Chartrand will ring a bell with his Hemi Hawk that he brought to Oswego I think it was a twin turbo 500 cube monster on alky .
I can watch this baby drive back and forth alll day😻
Nick invited the Plymouth into the shop, and it just did not want to leave.
You know you are at the right speed shop when they have a bleach box on the road out front.
Nicks belt buckle is probably doing a number on that guys fender.
Drew Styan. No, my buckle looked like it did a number, but no damage was done. Lucky me.
Id like to see Nick play around with a 265 hemi (aust 6 cyl) , hed be impressed .
IF NICK HAD HIS OWN TV SHOW ON HISTORY CHANNEL.. ID WATCH IT!!!!
Love the car. Had 4 of the 72 satellite. Now have 73 challenger
Can't say I blame ya ,if we repair it ,I'm atleast going to make sure we did it correctly,hands on testing is the only way to know for sure. Very nice whip. I'd like to bring u my c10 Nick .
Hey Nick have you considered coming to Australia to see The Chrysler’s On The Murray car show it’s an all Mopar event it’s Australian muscle you can check out videos on UA-cam great videos on the channel btw
YTB Gaming. I wish I could. Who knows, maybe one day.
Best sounding car I have ever heard and I’m a hardcore gear head
got goose bumps when he smoked them god love them muscle cars
Good Ol Mopar Smoking The Left rear instead of the Right rear.
My personal take on this: A wheelspin while taking off is a lot cooler than a burnout with braking
Cool car and cool blue colour in the begining!
Man. Its 00.30 and im supposed to deliver the baby in the kindergarden 8 oclock tomorrow. Just gonna watch one more.
The lies we tell ourself.
I've always loved that body style. Man! I have never seen Mr Nick that pissed. Putting the idle screw facing down is just plumb dumb. But the results sound so good.
