I'm really glad y'all are keeping these videos alive and up, their still some of the best I've found for ground up study. and in a vehicle vintage I get to or want to play with. this is so similar to my spare 2v from a jeep 4.2L minus some additional vacuum controls and idle air control motor. in a world swarmed with holley 4v info finding any carter/holley 2v info isn't as easy as it should be. most considered such oddballs now these videos are the only reason I know my holley 2180 on my w150 (and jeep 4.0ho)
OMG!! The End was SO Sexist! We must band together and put Chrysler, and all of its employees - permanently OUT OF BUSINESS! 😱😜😜 *I of course* am KIDDING!!! It's just a sad shame that there's so many misguided idiots out there... *Thank You for this!!* 😎👏👏👏👍👍 These are invaluable for us old Gearheads, and younger people wanting to repair, restore, and appreciate, these Wonderful and über Cool Cars. Keep it up!!
With LUCK, the Snowflake Generation will go away, and things might return to its 20,000 year NORMAL! Respect, responsibility and caring (for what REALLY matters) CAN'T be gone forever...
*2 Barrel on a Straight 6!* WHY did it take so long! GM even *improved* it with a Spreadbore 2BBL, which got great Fuel Economy and lower Emissions with good power. (A RARE thing for GM back then!) 😲 Then there was FORD, with its PATHETIC 200 straight 6 with the 1 Barrel, that barely made *90HP* back then, and was SO dirty, that it needed MILES of vacuum hoses and so much ancillary equipment that you could barely see the Engine! 😖 ..... Of course at the same time, their 5.0 V8 only made *115HP!!!!* 😲 Same reasons. They really didn't get it back then. That's why when the 1987 Mustang GT came out with SEFI, it reinvented the Musclecar Market! They FINALLY made what people wanted. What was Chrysler doing by the mid 80's?........ Anything you "wanted" as long as it had a 2.2L 4cyl engine! 😖 It and Iacocca may have saved their ass in 1979, but by the mid 80's, they lost touch again. (Although that Dodge Magnum was SEXY!! Which is why they had to STOP making it)
The slant-6 was made to make the AFR in cylinders 1 and 6 as close as possible to 3 and 4, while still using a single carb. Ford saved money with the integrated intake manifold, but that was why it was both smoggy and had low horsepower. It made the slant 6 more expensive, but it made certain Chryslers a better deal than other cars. My dad said that back in those days, many car companies wanted people to buy a V8 whether they really wanted all the power of a V8 or not. He also said that most inline sixes were built so that car companies could sell 1/2 ton trucks and full size vans more cheaply. I thought that the V8 mustang had 115 HP in the late 70s, but in 1982 or 1983, there was an optional 185HP carb engine. There were other things that sucked about 80s Chryslers besides the 2.2L engine. They also went to front wheel drive at a time when McPherson struts, power steering racks, and CV axles never lasted very long.
I forgot to mention that there was another way to get good MPG and smog from an inline 6. You could have twin carbs. That helped eliminate the air fuel distribution problem. My dad never thought driving an inline 6 could be fun during the 1970s. However, it was different when a friend needed to borrow his truck, and he had to borrow his friend's Datsun 260Z. I had to explain to dad that Datsun was not interested in making a cheap engine, so that is why it was fun to drive. Put it into a lightweight car, and then the fun begins. I also explained that some British cars had powerful inline sixes, but he never saw them because they were so unreliable and because many had to be discontinued due to California smog requirements.
@@skylinefever 1982 Mustang GT had 160hp with a new Cam and Heads, and larger 2bbl Carb. That was my first new Car! 1983-84 they went to a Holley 585cfm 4 barrel! But still single exhaust, 175hp both years. 1985 got the first Roller Cam, Aluminum Intake, Holley 4bbl AND dual exhaust, for 210hp. It climbed from there. Ford ALMOST dropped the ball in 1989, when the Probe was nearly the new Mustang!!! 😠 There was such an angry public response, that Ford made it its own Model, the Probe! Which was basically just a reskinned Mazda MX-6. IMO, GM pulled the biggest blunder in 1989, CANCELLING the G-Bodies (Inc. Monte Carlo SS, Olds 442, and especially - Buick Grand National!!! Still the quickest Car I've ever owned), with the disposable FWD POS cars! Same issues as Chrysler, with CV Joints and early McPherson Struts. CV Joints especially when they put them in full size Cars, with 3.8L V6s and 4.1L V8s! Even Ford jumped in too soon, with their "wonder car" Taurus/Sable! Not only CV Joint problems, but a Tranny disaster that preceded Chrysler's! Now, the 3 speed Transaxle was bulletproof... But the A4LD 4 speed Transaxle was a JOKE! RARELY did one reach 70,000mi, and it had NO fail safe. 😲 At least with Chrysler and General Motors, when the Trans took a dump, you had 2nd gear only, to get you home. With Ford - NOTHING, neutral. Occasionally, only Reverse, but no forward gears! We did a LOT of warranty work back then!!
@@skylinefever ...... I had a Triumph TR-6 in College. It WAS quick! After I ripped out all the Lucas Electronics - it was even reliable! 😜 I've owned a 240Z, 3 280Zs, 2 280ZXs, and 2 300ZXs. (STILL love Z-Cars!) So yeah, I really understand the higher compression and twin Side Draft Carbs for power. 😁 But the 280Z, with Bosch Injection, was the first real look at the future! NO lean Cylinders, and passed Emissions without an Air Pump, and only single Cat. (I know I'm getting into more your area of expertise, but I am a Z-Car aficionado!) While Chrysler still struggled with the central Carb, and tons of Smog Equipment in a vain attempt to clean it up... Ford and General Motors was shockingly AHEAD of the game, with SEFI!! First Ford, in its 4.1L and 4.9L Straight Sixes, then GM with its 4.1 and 4.8L Straight Sixes. GM DROPPED theirs, because the 4.8L Straight Six made MORE Power and Torque, than its 5.0L V8s!! And the EFI Sixes were more expensive to produce. Ford kept its 4.9L EFI Straight Six for quite a while... They even added a Tuned Port Manifold, which made MORE Power than their 5.0 V8 (not H.O.) AND the new 4.6L Modular V8s! They were popular and very Torquey. But, the bottom line took over. Ford LOST MONEY on every SEFI Straight Six they built! Shame, because it was a real honey of an Engine. CLEAN, great Driveability, EASY to work on, and rock solid. GM did bring back the 4.1L Straight Sixes, but with Direct Port Injection and Dual Overhead Cams!! It went in the Chevy TrailBlazer and GMC Envoy. THAT was a Straight Six that could compete with the likes of Mercedes and BMW!! Nobody really knows why GM killed that one. Would have made a GREAT economical choice for the full-size Trucks. But then.... It surprises me that GM is even still in Business!! 😖

This channel had a video about how to sell certain cars to women, and that might be even more offensive.

@@CarminesRCTipsandTricks It is amazing that I think of obscure car variants and you have 2 of them.
