    You and Slick need to keep working on her and get her road worthy! It was good to see you two having so much fun on a car you two grew up seeing just setting there for years. It was also nice to see Bill at the shop!

    Anything you do with Slick in it is must see tv. But to bring back to life his dads car , after sitting all that time at the house , thats priceless . The home movies with Slick and his family around that car says it all . Family values have always been a big part of your channel . Never loose sight of that . Shout out to slicks mom for getting this ball rolling . And of course the cherry on top of this content was getting to see Bill again . Keep 'em coming .

    Very cool to see you two bring a old bird back to life. Never understood why GM gave up on her. Pontiac firebird and trans am always out class the camero in style and speed. I don't care what anybody says. Please share more on what is going on with the old bird. Ones that can be saved. Need to be saved. Looking forward to see you guys progress.

    Firebirds are my favorite cars, especially the 1st and 2nd gens. FYI a Pontiac 400 is not a big block motor. Basically all Pontiac blocks are the same external size, so there is no big block or small block designation, it's just a Pontiac block. I wince every time I hear someone say "Pontiac big block" lol. Nice car Slick has there.

FAMILY FOR ANOTHER 3 or 4 generations and enjoy your family legacy..pull the tank and check to see if the original factory stock sheet is there find out the full true history of it and this will make you even happier for the factory stock restoration.. when y"all are finished. Trust me ..I did this with my 65" Pontiac GTO convertible and I have been offered $300K bye a collector of GTO"s😮 and I" don't regret spending the 22 years it took forever me to find all the original factory stock parts .

    This car could be the perfect next build series for the channel in my opinion. You have done an amazing job thru this channel of making your fans feel like friends and your friends feel like our friends as well. I say you on mechanicals with maybe a guest appearance if possible from the great Mortske and a chance to really see Slicks body work in action and finally a car with some paint (don’t get me wrong, I love the patina cars/trucks) but this one deserves paint. This could be a hit build series and bonus of helping your buddy rebuild a car from his childhood for his kids one day.

      Fun content with you and slick. Pontiac did run their 2 starter wires down thru that tube to protect em from the manifold heat
      And that single leaf spring swap out with one air shock was common to help launch on the subframe GMs.

  • @GregoryJohnston77
    @GregoryJohnston77 Рік тому +13

    The rotor needs to be aimed at #1 on the driver's side. Hard to tell in a video but I think you might need to pull the distributor and reset it. And the #1 on the distributor is to the right of center (driver side)

    • @chuckg3517
      @chuckg3517 Рік тому

      Was thinking the same. Maybe a tooth off?

    • @jaysonhallson-ow5gp
      @jaysonhallson-ow5gp Рік тому +2

      It doesn't matter where the rotor is pointing as long as the #1 plug wire is aligned with the rotor, while the #1 piston is at TDC 0°. The only reason GM points rotor a specific way is so the vacuum advance bell can rotate without hitting something thus minimizing your timing adjustment travel.

    • @GregoryJohnston77
      @GregoryJohnston77 Рік тому +1

      @jaysonhallson-ow5gp I don't know where you get off thinking that, with the engine at TDC compression on #1 cylinder, the tip of the rotor in the distributor needs to be pointing to the terminal on the cap where you connect the wire to #1 spark plug.

    • @markhenderson3498
      @markhenderson3498 Рік тому +1

      You can set #1 anywhere on the cap it does not matter as long as the rotor is pointing to it at TDC.

    Firebirds and GTO's some of my favorite cars.
    The Early Pontiac V8 did not have a big or small block, they used one similar block layout for all V8's from 326 to 455, with heads, crank and rods for each size. Great engines.

    My jaw was on the floor when lil' tiny tyke Slick was shown with the '67 Pontiac. What a wonderful connection to the past.

    Pretty cool to have the platform and the means to take a car like that w so much sentimental value and get it running again!! I would like to see more firebird content maybe get it track ready and see what she’ll run in the eighth / quarter! Does she have a name ? Cool seeing baby slick footage too ! I watch every Monday religiously thanks for the laughs y’all !!

    Top tier video tonight boys! Nice job with this one. Loved the change up in how the end was edited. Hope now that Puddin got a little taste of muscle cars he sees some potential in some of the “field cars” in those yards he visits. V8 rear wheel drive and your good to go😉

    Yep, more Firebird in the future. I'd like to see a build similar to the wagon.

    I'm no expert on carbs and intake manifolds, but I'm pretty sure you can't ignore the difference in the openings between the carb and the intake. 1:37:05. That gasket was definitely WRONG - covering up the secondaries into the manifold. Probably need to find a machined spacer that adapts the two different shapes for smooth airflow.
