Hey Gang, Just working on some audio issues here, we will try and level out the sound in the next little bit here! Listen at your own risk till then!
Thanks from Strong's!
If it says "1937 and up", do you expect it to fit a 2021 model?
Someone, I think Scott, said they got away from sandblasting spark plugs because residual sand was getting into the cylinders, so are you sure you got rid of all the sand? Anyway, I burn off soot with a propane torch, and go to hotter range plugs and more advanced timing whenever I find sooty plugs. Or perhaps foulers if hotter range plugs don't exist.
What is actually being adjusted when you set the gap dial on the tester?
reaching 6500 subs and climbing , keep putting out the content there
I remember as a young fella back in the ‘70’s using a spark plug cleaner like that at the local service station.👍
Great how y'all use period correct tools and machines. Really highlights the history of the car.
I'm glad you guys started a channel of your own. I know you'll do well. Thanks for taking us along with you.
Nice video gents. I actually enjoy the time-lapse segments without any annoying music. Silence is sometimes golden. Keep up the good work and the content coming!
Its really cool seeing all these vintage/antique tools in the shop!
Great episode. I still can't get over how nice the '48 Chevy is.
Some spark plugs like to allow some of the abrasive particles to get jammed deep down in between the porcelain center electrode and outer body of the spark plug. The air blast doesn't always get all of the grit out. It's best to look down in there with a very bright light to verify. You definitely don't want any of that getting into your cylinders and rings.
old school, cool school! thank you. I have all the above tools, and a timing light, have not used any in 20 years. but some day! thank you ALL stay safe
Great to see the old shop equipment getting used. Reminds me of Keith and Del at Patricia Heights Texaco in Edmonton in the 70's. They actually rebuilt not just replaced. Keep the content coming..Thanks
big fan of what y'all are doing. Appreciate the commitment to quality work. Take your sweet time doing quality work!
Used to use an AC spark plug cleaner much like the one you used. I'm enjoying your work on this old Chevy. Thanks!
Love to see you using the old tools. It would be so nice if today’s automotive stuff wasn’t planned obsolescence. But rebuildable like you and the Cold War gang so often prove! Keep it up.
Hello guys,great episode.Sound is better,well edited. Teaches us a lot about teamwork in real life,old timey garage ambience.Thanks a million .
It almost went over my head,but I caught it;"Thanks for Tuning in". That's an awesome testing machine.
Didn't know you could clean up a sparkplug! Learn something new everyday!
Dear Strong's Garage guys.
👍👌👏 Very well done again (video and work). Maaaan, that Champion spark plug cleaner and tester is obviously a blast to work with. ;-) My heart kind of stopped seeing you using the old clean manuals with black greasy fingers! I guess that's exactly how it would've been done in those old days/times but it nevertheless shocked me. ;-)
Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health to all of you.
spark plug machine was interesting and educational. 👍
Liked this video and look forward to the next installment! Very amusing comedic banter which will serve you both well in the future. Would have preferred a few extra minutes of normal speed closeups of the carb rebuild (what makes this carb different in performance from the one you removed, for example) instead of fast forwarding through the whole process. I suppose some viewers would be bored with a carb rebuild, but not all!
Can't wait to hear the Chev fire up!
Jim ( speedy Gonzalas ) carb reassemble ....that is a cool spark plug reconditioner ...
My husband is a mechanic, and we watch together so I can ask, what are they doing? And he gives me a basic explanation. Never too old to learn!
Using period correct tools, equipment and methods is not only appropriate but it’s even more educational for your viewers. Great stuff boys 🥃 cheers.
That is amazing how they used to use all of that and now nobody would think of checking the plugs. Everything is tossed out and new ones are put in.
The same person who taught me how to work on carbs must have taught you as well. Very well done. 👍😎
Love the old equipment.
Super cool Champion Spark Plug machine, I’ve got 2 old Champion Spark Plug ratchets, they work well, I believe they were made by the New Britain Tool Co.
I seem to recall using a matchbook for setting the gap. We had a spark plug cleaner in the ranch auto shop, maybe in our high school auto shop class too.
Pure enjoyment so far guys! I can remember using a Champion plug servicing machine, just don't ask me where. What's the grey-painted Century doohickey next to the plug service bench?
Already a big fan! Thanks for the fun video, guys!
Another enjoyable episode! The few times I had access to a plug cleaner were a huge treat. I've not seen one since the mid '80s. Your carb cleaner bucket was a cringe-worthy blast from the past ( as I look at 40+ yr old chemical burn scars on my hands). I'm looking forward to hearing the Chevy fire up. Stay Safe & Stay Well!
Pick one up at napa, mac's carb dip 5 gal bucket with basket ,, 200 dollars
I used to clean plugs with that same machine when I worked in a service station in the 1970s.
The only way to clean a carby. Enjoying the channel and welcome to the world of RUclips.
Lovely stuff chaps!
Nice spark-plug tester, never seen one like that before. So soon start up time maybe ?
Cheers * * *
Bring me sunshine...
‘Nother M&W reference there 😉
Reminds me of the "Red Green" show..
I ve watched Mr Plaid shirt & ball cap on Cold War .
This guy is brilliant when it comes to auto's..
Once they get comfy in front of the camera & content is longer than 10 minutes, these guys will develope a great channel..
Cool carb and plug fun.
Good info.
Thanks for the great info.
Excellent tips for us shade tree mechanics.
Oooo the fancier one with the spark test. Nice.
I love the channel, guys.
As for the sound... until you get wireless lapel (lavalier) mics for each of you it will be a chore to control the sound.
If I find a video with low sound I just turn on the closed captioning and I get to enjoy all of the mistakes that the auto-generated captions have to share. As an example it often shows "applause" when a grinder is used or in this video when you took the parts out of the dip and the screen scraped on the bucket.
Added fun. :)
Well Jim, you sure do know the carb routine. It always was the hardest part of tuning for me-guess I never took the time to really learn them. But Its nice to see a clean workplace and all the correct tools to do the job right. But I did not see one oval window. ;
You guys need a mic sound isn't that great. Love the content though. cheers. Have a good one guys.
Great episode love the good carb cleaner wish I could stumble across a pail of that and the spark plug cleaner looks like it works great a tip though if your plugs have heavy deposits shape them some cause some times the cleaner can Crack the porclin. Keep up the awesome content
MY Dad had a 48 Chevy (4 door) when he died in 1952. My Mom didn't drive so she sold it to the farmer, egg man. He was still driving it in 1961 when I went into US Air Force.
Great channel guys! Only one gripe. When doing FF could we maybe get some music? The silence lets me get distracted. 😕
Best wishes on your subscriber count going up. BTW Scotty told me to come here, and I'm glad he did!!!
Great video as always!
Look at the size of that man’s high speed spark plug.
Really enjoy your content thanks 😊
Yes Jim, you can inadvertently hotrod your carburetor. My cousin uses guitar string, harder metal but not abrasive.
My 41 Chevy firetruck that is all original still used the small plugs.
Have you heard the news about Alex closing the CI store? He said he is liquidating the store so maybe there is a few bargains there for you?
you lucky have machine in my shop we had one and at time my boss threw it out to dump all 3 of us were pissed . that 1986 what waste good machine .
Back in the 1980's I had a 1976 Ford Ranchero with the 400 M engine and when it got around 76k the valve seals went bad. The body was pretty rusty so instead of fixing the engine I would just pull the plugs about every 500 miles and blast and regap them since it was just used occasionally.
I just found your channel. It's great! Are you guys in Canada? Traded you for vice grip garage, much, much more period correct and authentic. Keep it fun, guys!
So nice, that you do not play a lot of music,
which always destroys the atmosphere.
That spark plug checker machine is awesome, did u restore it?
Its in such good shape!
You guys are spoiling us.
Try pinesol for cleaning your carburetors you will not be disappointed.
Just remember fellas when you are using your plug cleaner you are blasting off lead deposits from a time when lead was the bees knees
cheers 👍👍👍👍👍
Good thing that perished gasket is easily reproducible. Strong's Garage - definitely is not. Try not to perish, boys!
Carb-tastic !
Spark-tastic !
Doc out !
Question: where the 1948 carbs painted or zinc coated?
Awesome videos guys!
I like that car.
You guys need time-lapse music! Excellent content though.
Excellent work, fellas. I'm enjoying watching the progress on the Chevy. What did you use to wash the carb parts in after coming out of the larger dip bucket? All the best, Mart in England.
Enjoyed it, gents.
Enjoying the new Chanel, you guys need to invest in a 10L ultrasonic cleaner, not expensive and essential for cleaning smaller parts, like carby bits. Keep up the good work. Oh and buy some new overalls 😂😂
What is the glass jar in the engine compartment for?
Great channel. Could you please turn on the Closed Caption for us hard of hearing . Thank you.
Hi guys. I wonder if the two of you would know if there is any kind of rule book for model T race cars. Like at Bruderheim. I was there last year. It was the highlight of my summer. Those little T's can become addicting.
A ballpeen hammer an a cereal box can make most every gasket on that carb . Oh an coat er in grease or silicone grease to not have to make another if needs teardown again . How I was tought , I just use silicon instead of bearings grease , smells better
Carburetor, = Fuel Make it Happener.
Guys you are the bomb. I could never work on a carburetor without destroying it. Neat spark plug machine. Good team, good work. See ya next video. Take care and stay safe and beware of false prophets 👍🕊🌞🌹🙏💋🍺😇❤️🇺🇸🚗
1948 Chevy carb my 2022 mind is boggled! 😵
Over your many restoration adventures, have you noticed if pot-metal parts are better or worse depending upon the era, or depending upon the manufacturer's supplier, such as Dodge or Ford were good, but Hudson and Nash were questionable?
Do all barns and garages in Alberta have classic cars in them?
Probably well over half I would say.
Jim's hands are going to smell like that Tyme for a week. My wife could always tell when I was rebuilding carbs because I smelled like Tyme!
Now charge up a condenser and toss it to your coworker.
Need to get yourselves a mic real quick.
@@jamesd4846 oh right yeah, Scott'll have one
Champion Plugs oh Yeah
Time Machine Channel!
Nothing else to do it Canada I suppose ;)
I know exactly what that shop smells like - my laptop must have smell-o-vision.
How old is that rebuilding kit 1960 ? You drink beer at Scott`s and coffee at home ,I know the wife isn`t around .
million dollar garage...cant wash his overalls lol
Please learn about audio compressing! Your volume is all over the place. I have to turn it up all the way to hear you speaking and then that tune in the end blew out my eardrums.
Hermosa eleccion 7😍 XX18LIKE.Uno de mejor siempre en mi corazónt mañas no se la.🌹🤩💜 Son unos de los mejores conciertos.
Is that the old school serious Tyme or the new safe to drink version which doesn't clean for crap
Hi Guys, enjoy your page but I don't know if it's because I'm so far away, Australia your sound leve
