My cuz drove A... 1984 ford thunder bird..302 carbed. Ran good.. Drove good.. Drove it three years... And one day... We're at a friend's garage that knows a lot about building muscle cars.. And he says.. Do a burn out when you leave... My cuz... Says... The one thing it won't do is a burn out... He said really... Pull it over by the garage for a minute... Pop the hood... He grabbed a wrench.. And some screw drivers.... He.. Moved.. The timing just a hair by hand.. No timing light.... Just buy guess... Then.. He started.. Playing with the Jets et cetera.. With a screw driver.... Me and my cousin hot back in the car... Did a nice burn out right after My cousin was so happy that day... He's like i've been driving this car 3years... Beating the s*** out of it... And after all that.. He's like a mechanic gets under my hood that knows what he's doing with carbs... Two minutes later i'm burning Tires.. He's like would have never thought going into the fourth year owning it.. With wear and tear.... And now it has a lot more power than the evident without any modifications... Just someone that knows their way around the timein..and that Carburetor... After that my cousin Started studing carburetors...😂😂😂 lol

Spot on man! Carburetors are simpler and when maintained properly they can be terrific to run.

This video hit right on driving a carburated car is a different feeling 🤟🏾

Probably most relatable YouTube video blogger I know. Thanks man for the great video

The best thing I ever did other than ls swap my fox was to convert to a carb. My lil 302 dropped .2 sec at the drag strip with no other changes. I'm running my ls carbureted too and it's just beyond simple and clean .

And this is why this is my favorite Foxbody Mustang Channel. And the only one I support. Brew2l, you just jumped to the next level as far as I'm concerned. I am an old man who has been playing with carburetors since the 80s. I bought my 88 Five-O going on 8 years. And wanting to make it carbureted has been on my mind since day one. But you do not dare mention it to the fox body Mustang community. I have been thinking the exact same points that you made in this video, for the past eight years. My car being a speed density system. I can't do what I really want to do with this. I don't want to go through the expense and the work to switch over to Mas Air Flow. Definitely now got me feeling a lot better about going in the direction that I always really wanted to. Carbureted. Awesome points. Thank you for the great video.

I love the detail in your videos and your honesty.

[ogsuperflygarage]

Very very valid points my Brother! I grew up in the age of carburetors and agree that it is easier to work on ….even with minimal knowledge. I have said more than once that I wish I could go back in time where engines were simple and easy to work on and easy to diagnose. No need for a computer! It is a good change for your channel! I love it! 💯👊🏾

Another great video. I like efi foxbodys in stock form. But I recently converted my 82 notch from a 4 cylinder to a explorer 5.0. And 5spd. I slapped on a Holley 570 cfm I had laying around and a installed bcam with trick flow valve springs. The car rips and idle chop sounds good. Thanks again for insight into carbs.

I had 3 efi foxes in the past and now I have a carbed 83 GT. I like it because it's simple. No reading codes or chasing down bad sensors. The previous must have known what they were doing because it runs fabulous. I was planning on getting a Holley Sniper, but I'm hesitant to change anything because it works so good.

I’m a Carb guy, and always have been. Not say that I’ve never had an EFI before, but the simplicity of a carb is what I like. My 85 SVO that I bought as a roller, had most of the wiring harness hacked out of it, so a carb was the simplest solution. I run a Holley 8156 750 mechanical secondary, which I love on my F4TE block 351.

[dustincottle]

I’ve owned 20 Mustangs over the years. I’ve always found the carb cars to be much more enjoyable than the efi. I had a 89 LX hatch with a Explorer engine down in it. Nice cam and intake with a Holley 650 double pumper on it. That car shook the ground and felt like it made so much more power than it actually was. But man it was a blast.

[johnnymula]

I have an 86 Bronco that is a stock efi 5.0
Im in the process of swapping it out to carburetor using a 99 roller 5.0
My main reason for the swap is 1- the wiring is old on both vehicles. And going for a new harness is about 1500.
If i want to add some big power, there isnt a top end kit available for an efi motor.
In the end. The Carb set up is much cheaper. Much faster and easier to tune. You literally need a screwdriver and a wrench. And can tune the motor completely by sound. By the time a guy gets a laptop out. I can have my air fuel adjusted. And be half way to my destination.
As far as the aftermarket efi kits. Like the Holley Sniper, etc. all they are is a copy of GM’s throttle bosy from the 70’s and 80’s.
But without the millions in research and development. Which is why i personally know of 6-8 people that have taken the kits off and went back to carb.
All being from the electronics contained in the throttle body. It sits right in the heat.

Great video and points brought up, I think it's funny how ignorance has flip flopped from EFI to carb and now everyone today is scared of the most basic technology of a carb!

[brianr]

I have a 86 5.0 efi, 5 sp. switched to a 650 street brawler, mech secondaries, stock dura spark 2, . I love the conversion, with a 37 year old system, broken wires, rotted vacumn lines, sensors or relays going bad, wasnt looking for faster, was looking for dependability, car now runs off 2 wires, fuel and ignition, very simple, very dependable, and very easy to troubleshoot, especially a long way from home, i absolutely love this set up.

[matthopkins]

I was just about to pass up on a carb’d 427 but think I’m still going to look at it at the end of the month because your videos

[bdpdarkcomedy]

Very inspiring man! Been so tempted to try a blow thru setup on my carb’d gen 4 6.0 in my 79 Camaro, everyone says “don’t do it, it’ll run like shit”. They said that from the beginning when I did it NA! I think a lot of people that hate on carbs, or blow thru setups, just don’t understand them. I think you’ve convinced me to go for it!

[rattletrapfox]

that's exactly why i went yote swap. Control pack plug it in, car fires up everytime! No phantom stalls. No bucking. No heat soak. It's amazing!!! If I went pushrod I would definitely go carb! Keep up the good content brotherrr

[deathprooflifestyle]

New subscriber here! Nice content man! Also - I'm running an MS2 PNP on my 95 stang, sbe 302 basic build (e303, gt40p, trickflow intake, on3 70mm), and totally had similar issues. The megasquirt was like having to tune everyday. Some days ran great, idled awesome. Some days it would barely start. Now i've done a set of TFS heads, Holley Hi-Ram, and a bunch of misc holley LS components and trying to make it work with the MS2 is brutal. I gave up. I'm picking up a blow-thru set up from a buddy, e85, and no intercooler. Just boost, fuel, and the MS2 controlling timing. For the sake of simplicity (and weight savings!) I am so excited to just get rid of all the random electrical and tuning anomalies.

[jackrabbit]

Agreed love carbs especially for an NA build or Nitrous build.
