    In Canada the 122s was assembled in Halifax and called a Canadian. My father owned a ‘65 122s with a swapped in built B20 and electric overdrive 4 speed. I personally had an orange 74 142 GL, a 1971 144, 1977 242 DL. My father currently has a 1990 780 Bertone, B230ft

  • @dougcrosby6994
    @dougcrosby6994 21 годину тому

    It's lean. That's also why it's so cold natured.
    It could be from a vacuum leak or a carb issue.
    While it's idling, slowly cover the carb with your hand, like you're going to "choke" it. If it idle UP at all..... you've got a vacuum leak. If not, fatten up your idle mixture a bit.
    With a carb, your cylinders will always vary. Single plane or duel plane manifold, don't matter. Because of the firing order you're always gonna have lean cylinders and fat cylinders. If it's just a little lean, the leanest cylinder will give you the occasional misfire. Add a little lumpy cam to the mix and it only gets worse because of the weaker signal the carb sees.
    If you're suspecting a plug wire, open the hood at night with it running, idle it up and look at all of the plug wires and distributor. If one arcs out, you're more likely to see it in the dark.

      Exxxxxactly! More often than not the cars that get beautifully painted, never get driven or enjoyed. Which I completely understand. If I had $30,000 wrapped up in paint and I would be terrified on the roads even just from bird poop!

    • @AutomotiveAdventuresWithAustin

      One of the reasons I've been trying to film and show off so much of the machining side with Bob is I think it's great stuff most folks don't ever get to see, or understand. Pulling the curtain back a bit. We have most CERTAINLY done ourselves a disservice over the past decades by disincentivizing trade craft and blue collar work pushing folks into colleges and university (and debt) .
