As a 70 year old retired mechanic it is an absolute pleasure to watch your interviews*****
Awesome - thanks for letting us know. 👍
Man Ed is an endless wealth of information. I love listening to him. Too bad so many of the old geniuses like him have passed and not shared their knowledge in such a way.
👍👍🙏
Experience as no substitute.. and hearing it from the man can’t be better… just love Ed’s video. Priceless…
Ed has seen it all 😎 love listening to him tell his stories 👍
Thanks!🙏
I had nothing but problems with my 1978 425 ci engine in my coupe Deville, I went through 2 of them in less than a year. I changed the oil in them every 2500 miles religiously, never mattered. Awesome video, great job ED. You guy's keep up the great work.
Oh boy, that was a tough one! To be clear, Ed’s fondness of Cadillacs are the 472 and 500 high compression engines!
Thanks so much for coming along with us we very much. Appreciate the encouragement!
In the 80's I bought a used 67 Eldorado, a magnificent car. I was talking to a Cad mechanic one time, and he had a 70 Eldorado with the 500 motor, and when he held it down from take off, it felt like the front of the car was coming off hhen it went into second gear. The 500 had a 4 3/8 inch stroke and 4 3/8 bore. The torque reading was at 550 or more. My 67 had the 429 cu in motor with 360 hp. On a trip down south, I got 17 mpg. Pretty good for a 5000 pd car. I'd love to have another 67 Eldo.
Those were some great cars 👍
We've a 500 eldo out back that will probably go to scrap. Running well when parked.
There's a sedan too, I think it's a 500.
Ed is a treasure. Great guy.
Agreed 👍
David Vizard says most headers are wrong, because i think the firing order of say a sbc has 5 and 7 and 8 and 4 firing right after each other, 2 on the drivers side, 2 on the passenger side causing chaos in the collector, if you check on the degrees of firing between all the cylinders, it goes something like this 90..180 .270 ..90, etc.I think.Daivid is right because of this, some pipes need to be longer, some shorter to delay or speed up the reflective waves in the pipes to more finelly tune them to each cylinder.
Very interesting - I get it and you explained it well. I’m going to ask Ed what he thinks about it 👍 Thanks
Don't forget that each cylinder has different intake flow and scavenging.
That's where the bundle of snakes headers make a difference. But theyre complex and huge.
I used an A/C condenser as a transmission cooler in my '56 Chevy with its 425 Buick nailhead. Transmission always ran cool as a cucumber.
That’s a great idea!
They can be too cool and never kill condensation. I discovered that with a rusty dipstick.
@@hotrodray6802 ... Transmission condensation isn't much of a problem in the phoenix valley zone.
You guy's put out a good show. Going to try to see them all... thanks!
Thanks so much, glad to hear it!
Always enjoy your show.
Thanks for watching! Glad to have you along!
My favorite channel. You guys rock
You are too kind!
Thank You 💪
I look forward to seeing y'all's videos
Thank you Barry and Ed! I have that same flannel shirt lol. Great minds think alike
Good morning all. Happy new year. Thank you again for these nice videos. :-)
Great show, you guys talked about my comment on the E altered car.
Thx.
Thanks, I always appreciate it when you guys come up with some great questions!
Love to hear about his 6 cylinder Ford stuff.
I’ll ask Ed some more about that - there’s a lot of history yet to present. 👍
I appreciate you both for your time and comments
Thanks !
Thanks again
I never stop appreciating it 👍
Would you ever ask Ed about the things that HE knows about the IH 345 in a semi performance application, like an “off-road trail buggy”. I’m curious about that because the most performance parts that I have ever been able to find were headers by a few manufacturers and a few camshafts. I had to go to a heavy factory intake from a dump truck for a 4V intake. There’s just not that much in the way of HI-PO that “I” have ever had luck tracking down. 😢
Ok - that’s different and interesting - I’ll ask Ed 👍
Ford's car were originally made to run on alcohol then with Rockefeller oil he made them run on both flex fuel. You adjust levers on the steering wheel for timing and fuel. Ask Ed about it next time..
I have to say that Truck'N Caddy engine really is an intriguing topic... oh my... could we see pictures of that?? :-)
I’ll ask Ed if he has any 👍
25 yrs ago a friend had a 500 pickup and another 403 olds pickup.
next time ask what is his thoughts on the pete jackson timing gears robbing HP compared to a double roller timing chain?
Great question - on the list of things I’ll ask Ed 👍
I feel like I’m seeing Ed O’Neil, waiting for Peg, to walk in and interupt
Does Mr Ed have any of his hats for sale
Yes - go to ebay and search barryts - thanks!
@BarryTsGarage thanks little buddy hope u and Mr Ed had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Old guys have knowledge
i have to disagree on ford crankshafts bieng weak, compared to what i have had stock sbc cranks crack from daily driving.the metal they used in stock ford 302 and 351w from my experience and knowledge are actually very atrong in stock form.stronger then sbc anyhow.
I’ll ask Ed about that 👍 - it might be something related to racing and not a daily? Thanks
