I’m Wayne Scraba and I’m the guy behind Lone Wolf Hot Rods. Some might recognize my name -- I’m a grizzled veteran of the Hot Rod, Drag Race and Corvette publishing biz. Lone Wolf Hot Rods is my way to provide you with solid no charge, technical advice on how to build, maintain and tune fast cars. Some of the tech is back to basics. Some of it is advanced. Some of it is “in-between”. I won’t be blowing stuff up (at least I hope not!) and I won’t be swapping LS engines into Ferraris (definitely not in my income bracket!). Instead, the goal here is to gear tech toward projects you can actually build in your own garage with common tools and to keep it informative. With that said, point your cursor to Lone Wolf Hot Rods’ videos and please subscribe to my channel! With your support, new videos will be released regularly!

How To Pull An Engine - Hot Rod Basics
Hi Wayne is the car still for sale?
Yes it is. Had it sold once, but they buyer wanted me to install power steering and power brakes (?). Are you interested in the car?
I ordered a pro systems and my rear PV had a 5.5 but my front had a block off in it. Any idea why they would do that? They also said on build sheet it had a 6.5 and it has a 5.5
Probably a mistake... :)
1 4 SALE IN TX
Insane nice car... We used to buy them for a couple hundred bucks or new for A few thousand Dollars... Now 50 to 100.. grand.
Beautiful 🔥
Thank you. It's a great car.
Love everything about this car the fact that it is a non-SS makes it more of a sleeper and it’s got all the goodies. I would be proud to own this.❤🙏
Thank you! I make the sale to you happen...:)
Nice front yard!
thank you. I love it
Omg! Sweet nova!
Thank you. It rolls along nicely...L-O-L
Displacement?
565 cubic inches.
@lonewolfhotrods Who manufactured the block? Any details on the build? How many bolts are holding down the drivers seat? 😃

Stef's pan includes a full set of baffles and a layout with a windage screen on one side. I prefer bolts to studs in a door car application and gear drives are ancient history...L-O-L
Anyone who hears it idle will know it's not a sleeper
Usually when I fire it up it terrifies people...L-O-L
I love it. NOTHING like a sleeper.
Thank you. I tried to keep things low key, but somethings I couldn't hide...
Very nice car, wish I could afford it, may God bless you and prayers for you and your wife !!!
Thank you
Is there a rule of thumb for how you know the secondary butterflies are opened the right amount? In other words, is it good as long as your idle screws are functional and you have the idle soeed you want?
Just watch to see if the transfer slots are exposed. Sounds like it's a-ok. If it works for you, it works for you!
If youre doing the idle mixture screws on a tunnel ram, are you doing the screws on the front of carb one then front of carb two then moving to the rears?.. Or are you doing the front of carb one then the rear of carb one and then the second carb...?
Great, detailed vid!
Glad you liked it!
Great explanation on method and materials as well as the 'why's' to use each! Very concise and thorough! THX!
Will this all be the same procedure for dual quads ? Anyone thx. I’m running so rich I can hear my exhaust popping
Yes. If it was mine, I'd treat it as one big carb.
Highly underated chanel
Thank you.
Very awesome.
Thanks!
Bad ass car man
thank you.
my good friend ran nhra c/sm in late 70 he had a chevy 12 bolt and dana 60 said 12 was 5-8 hundreds quicker but could only avg 10 12 runs before something would break would qualify with dana race with 12 bolt if needed
I don't doubt that, however technology has changed....L-O-L. All of the pieces in the bolt in the video are far different than those of yesteryear.
Good video. What numbers on an AFR gauge would you be targeting? Does Ethanol added to fuel affect jetting much?
Hello from Argentina. I´m triying to restore my 1971 F100 with an argentinian V8 292". It is equiped with a holley 2300 but they were built by Argelite with holley patent. I am having problems with tune because our numbers are not registred in Holley lists. I Think, I´m running rich how can I do to regulate this. Greetings and thanks.
Only missing one thing no rear end girdle???
Hi. The custom rear end case Mark Williams uses incorporates a set of massive caps. The area behind the caps is also heavily reinforced. No need for a girdle of any sort (and that's coming directly from Mark). And if you need more info on the M-W 12 bolt, check out the two videos I have posted on my Lone Wolf Hot Rods site. Thanks for the comment too! I appreciate it.
Beautiful car! Was this car at pump gas drags back in the day? 1990's?
No it was not. In 1990, it was sitting in Mrs. Marian Yaggy's garage in Fort Wayne, IN. By 2000, it had a whopping 11,700 miles on the odometer! Thank you for the compliments :)
Bad ass, build man! What do you think the car would run in the 8th mile?
Thank you. I have no idea. I have never taken to the track (and probably never will now because of my wife's health). But honestly, I've been around fast cars all of my life (and I'm old..L-O-L). This Nova really takes all of my concentration and effort to push the shifter into second on the shift light. It pulls so hard I think I'd be inclined to add an air shifter kit to it if I was going to take it to the track.
Jesus has healing for you and your wife
Thank you
Have you heard about something called "monoclonal antibodies"? Something new that supposedly does a good job on cancer. That's all I know. Might be worth checking out. Best wishes.
I have not. I will check with my wife’s cancer team at the University and find out. Thank you for the info. I really appreciate it.
Definitely worth more money.
Thank you! I spent well over $100,000 and did pretty much did everything myself except machining, paint, powder coating and TIG welding.
I have almost its twin my mom ordered new at Padgett Chevrolet in Morristown Indiana. Radio delete rubber floor and rear window defrost big block 4 speed. She was the younger sister to 2 hot rodding brothers and wanted to show them up lol. I have the car now still in original condition and drive it when I can.
Super nice car! Would have liked to have seen what you would have done with the 40 Ford coupe that you had at one time.
Thank you. When I had the '40 Coupe, I was freelance writing. I just could not find enough work for the car to make it happen. I ended up crating it and shipping it to a young fella in Hawaii.
What a beautiful car! So sorry to hear about your wife. One word I can t stand & that's the C word! All my best to you and your wife. Don't think you'll have a problem selling your car for what your asking. My uncle was offered 100K Canadian for his 1970 Nova SS L78 396 & turned it down! I hope your wife kicks cancers ass! Wishing you all my best!!
Thank you. I truly appreciate the kind words.
@@lonewolfhotrods ❤️
Hi Wayne, your "Holly Tuning Vids" brought me here. It's how I discovered your channel only a few days ago. If I had the $82K I'd buy your Nova. It would be a shame to sell a car like that. Try and hang onto it even if remotely possible. Speaking from my experiences here. Sorry to hear about your wife. Prayers from Australia.🙏
Thank you very much for the kind words and prayers. My wife certainly needs them and the words help me too.
@@lonewolfhotrods ❤
Hi Wayne, I'm really, really sorry you have to sell that car. Are you OK?
Thank you for your concern. I’m fine but my wife is not. She is very ill with Stage 4 Cancer. As you can well imagine, my priorities have shifted, and because of that I made the decision to sell my Nova. it wasn’t easy, but it’s the right thing to do.
@@lonewolfhotrods🙏🙏 prayers for strength and healing.
Thank you. I (need and) appreciate it.
@@lonewolfhotrods- Very Beautiful example of a true sleeper, thank you for sharing this creation of yours. ❤️ and prayers to you, and your wife. My partner for over 20 years found out recently that she has cancer, and since she takes care of me, im disabled, its been very hard on her, i feel your helplessness, heart ache, and pain.
Thank you for the message as well as the prayers. I spent five years or so putting the Nova together. I hope and pray your partner can find some way to cope and simultaneously provide you with care. Cancer is a horrible disease.
So raising the float level raises the fuel level to or does it close the needle more? My boat one is flooding, I think the floats just stuck, but not sure. It sat over winter now flooding.
How can I get one for a 64 Impala SS, beautiful work and materials
My head is spinning ..i think ill just buy an Edelbrock carb ..this is all greek to me and no wonder i was never good at carb adjustments for the past 40 years
I have a 5.3 LM7 V8 that has a large cam, edelbrock air gap intake, 1 3/4" long tube headers, and a Brawler 750cfm carb that was worked over extensively by a local carb shop. The carb now flows around 900cfm and the car was dyno tuned to make 385whp/320whtq. Car idles great and cruises very well, but off idle it hesitates. Took it to a local parking lot and tried to do some launches and the car would stumble before picking up and taking off like a rocket. The AFR gauge in the car went to 18:1 during the hesitation before going back to a healthy ready once the car took off. I began going up pump sizes to try and tune this out. At front nozzle size 42 and rear nozzle size 37, it was slightly better, but not enough to make much of a difference. The car would actually stall if I hit the gas full throttle in park. Today I jumped the front nozzle to 45 and the rear nozzle to 40 AND changed to the hollow screw type. Now It doesn't hesitate in the same way, but its not a crisp throttle. It also back fires out the carburetor with this size. DId I go to far? I was thinking about going back to the 42/37 combo but leaving the hollow screws, but at the time of this writing, I haven't done that yet.
Did you keep the original drivetrain?
No
Grandma is going to be shocked when she sees what you did to her car. Then again, she will be the first one at church on Sunday.
Yes...So true...L-O-L
should the jack be under the coil. nice video and tool.
Holy smokes why didn't I think of this! A brilliant solution! I'll bet you can use these rod-ends on so many other things like throttle linkages etc. I'm literally knee-deep in 1968 442 parts in the garage, hot and heavy with a resto project. I just got a replacement z-bar kit and I'm absolutely going to fab my own clutch rod and fork rod with your idea here. The problem I'd hit with your swedge tube is that the Old's pushrod is bent 6 ways till Sunday to pass through the firewall to the z-bar and I'm not inclined to cut a wider hole to facilitate the straight throw. I happen to have the old pushrod still so I'll just zing off the OEM ends and weld these in place. ***UPDATE: it looks like Aurora makes female rod-ends with left/right threads now which makes this even easier.
I'm happy my video helped and inspired you!
Good info. I'm building a 572 and have been looking at these heads and wondering if they're enough for it. I'm thinking they might be fine.
They work fabulously on my "sort of pump gas" 565.
@@lonewolfhotrods Mine's going to be a high compression bracket motor. I was thinking of going with "smaller" size heads because I'd like to keep it under 7000 rpms, but still make 800-ish. Heavy car.
@@SealofPerfection I suspect you will be happy. I did a pump gas 572 years ago with 330 or so cc heads and that was a mistake.

Love the color! Do you have a paint code or source for the paint?
Hi. It's the original lacquer paint on the car (although the tops of the fenders, hood and rockers have been blended in with fresh paint): GM Forest Green Metallic. Trim Tag Code: 48/48. Hope that helps. :)
@@lonewolfhotrodsthank you! I believe that was the OEM color of ny 72 Nova, so I'd like to replicate it. Also curious on the size of the rims and tires? The stance looks great! Possibly lowered a bit?
Front wheels are 15x5 and the backs are custom 15X8's (5.25 or so inch backspace) with P275 drag radials. Ride height was a pain...L-0-L. Mixed and matched front springs, front coil spring spacers (GM used spacers in many production line applications to juggle ride height), rear Calvert split mono springs, etc. I messed around with the parts and tire diameters until I got it where I wanted it. It took some time. :). @@willfeather6383
All great info , only thing when people hear warm the car they think 10 min idle is good take it for 15 min drive the carb characteristics will be quite different then idling for few miniutes
Don't be a dick. Warm the car up means get it to operating temperature.
Excellent video. Simple and clear.
Thank you.
How do you know if a power valve works or is blown?
I finish putting spacer on my wilwood 🤦🏻♂️because also wanted 15wheels
