What did you do for motor mounts?
I made my own but this was before anyone was doing this swap. Im sure you can buy something that works now.
It's not heat that causes sunburn. That's from the ultraviolet light generated by the welder.
I wish you were local haha. I'm new to carbs and bought an old car with a QF 680 and it is rich! I can't figure out what the problem is
I got a tuning video with the "Tuning Triangle" that might help you out!
@@NightWrencher I'll look it up
Renault used draw through setups in the 70's on their turbo F1 engines to reduce turbo lag. Also later produced a road car "renault 5 alpine turbo" with this principle !
Best advice I’ve seen in any UA-cam welding video. Solid 10 mins well spent
Best beginner explanation I have ever watched. Big thanks.
Thanks for the excellent video! Very specific, clear and complete! Awesome!
I use to put these on some old Mack trucks for extra light in the winter. Also i used it for extra reverse light too.
Lets say i purchased a 500 2300 carb. Long as i up my jets and change it all over gasket wise i should be fine for e85? I want this turd to run but i dont need any spot on tuning. Its for a demo derby car 4.3 v6
Yeah, it should run fine as long as the tuning is close richer is better on E85
I want to put my 5.3 LS carbureted and use the 4L60e transmission do I still need the wire harness or what do I need for the transmission
Never had any trouble with my Dodge trucks or cars, but I leave them origional, I don't alter anything and maintain them on schedule. Engine and transmissions on them are bombproof, all have Dana 60 rears, can't kill em. I have had a few amp meters smoke out, usually because of loose or corroded terminals and fixed that easily, the only weak spot I've found is the solid state voltage regulator so I keep a backup in the glove box and spare brushes for the alternator. That's it!
Jesus Christ. I will use nuts n bolts to make a mc frame. Fk this!
Been wanting to do this
I got the mig-135 & welded maybe 3500 ft of straight beads .035 inner shield worked pretty damn good till the ground went out n started O.C more frequently
.. I don't have a press
Welp, thats not good 😂 its a really useful tool that you can use to press out bushings, balljoints, assemble spring loaded assemblies like an external wastegate or blowoff valve, and even add a pressbrake tool to it to bend metal. I already had the press for years before I ever arched my leaf springs
@@NightWrencher I wonder if I can place it on the ground with various spacers, and use my hydraulic jack under my truck?
kinda wondering why you used a gas shield nozzle to weld with gasless flux core wire? it can block the view of wire, in certain situations.
Mainly because it doesnt bother me and also so that I dont lose it. I only weld with flux core in my videos and so I mainly use MIG
said a lot of things and explained nothing.
Truck is gonna be cool, headed there for sure!
What rebuild kit to get itsnot a 4150
A standard 4150 kit works fine
Thank you, very informative. I’ve got a mini mastercraft welder and my weld have held for now they don’t look the best. I’ve got a lot more to learn.
How can you weld with fcaw when it's so hard to see your what your welding with a spatter cloud vs. a mig weld which is easy to see
Throw that wire away or something you need to troubleshoot that spatter
All flux core wire has spatter. Its not like mig.
Thats great explanation man. I was looking for a method can possibly make side markers work as turn signals at the same time, & Here we go. Thank You!
thank you very much Night wrencher i am new in using Mig.but a lot i have learned from you.....your instruction are so clear and useful...i can now continue my mini van restoration ...by you help..itll make for me effective and easier ..thank you again..
Thank you for the comment! I hope it goes well! Good luck!
but i dont want them to look like that either. thats not all that good looking either
Excellent video, very helpful. Thank you for taking the time making it.
Thank you sir! I really appreciate it!
I appreciate you
And I appreciate you sir 👍
add filter to video
the earlier 72 3s and 4s had the better steering gear. north to south instead of east to west , much better to deal with when extremely lifted
Hands down ,the clearest and most useful instructional video on welding I have seen since I got my self a MIG. Thank you!
Thank you sir! I really hope it helps!
I have spent tens of hours watching videos on welding and finally found this gem. Excellent explanation on flux core welding process! Thank you!
Thank you sir! That means a lot!
Beware the evil fuel filters, the elements are bonded with foam and fall apart or get blown out when run in the noted orientation. This will allow particulate and or foam to pass and can clog injectors / carb jets. Speaking from personal experience with these. Fought a tune for a while before I figured it out.
One of the best vids on yt
That must be some magical sheet metal because I turn my welder to the lowest settings and as soon as I touch the side of the sheet metal with the welding tip, it instantly burns through
Well I have converted a vacuum secondary, to a double pumper mechanical secondary, with squrters
I really like the idea of going right over the weld to really pull it all together! Thanks for the video!
Aw man! Good shit! Just bought a Stage 3 LS cam with the same cam specs for my 1992 OBS Suburban LS swap. Thanks for the video. o7
Very good explanation. Thank you!
Very helpfully, you actually explained what was wrong and how too correct it
Can I weld aluminum with a tig torch with this machine?
Mine always looks like the first one.
You're a good man! I do not have enough vocabulary to describe how far and beyon this effort is compared to other typical explanations out there. Biggest component being the real world example on your own vehicle and not just making engine noises with your mouth. Thank you very much and please continue on the same path. It does not go unnoticed!
Thank you sir! I really appreciate it! I hope it helped!
Oh no a ls in a mopar??? Ahhhhh
😂
My machine never worked. Is taking forever to get their Tech support to do anything. Now waiting on new control module from who knows where.
You ever watched a old-school Martial art movie? Where a novice is training himself. And is scuffed by the practitioners of that discipline? Thats me, you all will know my name one day. I promise you all will call me HOKAGE. 😂😂😂

Hi brother i run a msd 6010 on my ls2 6.0 24x. ( NO MAP SENSOR ). pro system 1000cfm carburetor mild cam and spring's i ordered the smart ls with the adapter harness for my 6010 harness. Do I need a laptop to start my car? Or do I use the sitting on the box and just start the motor?? If I only need the sittings on the box to start. CAN you send my those sittings THANK YOU.
Hello, the engine should start your engine out of the box even with no map sensor. If you plan to drive the car with no map sensor, you'll need a laptop to turn the map sensor off in the software and create a 2D timing table. If you try to drive around without the map sensor on the factory settings, you could cause damage to the engine
THANK YOU... SO if I install a map sensor like a NA 1 bar. Can I START MY ENGINE with just the factory SETTINGS on the SMART SPARK LS BOX?? WITHOUT THE USE OF A LAPTOP?????
I want to get one but who do I go thru to get one? And does it come with the wiring harness or do I have to get one separately?? Thanks in advance
They dont have them listed in their website right now but maybe try calling daytona sensors directly. They'll ask you some questions and get you squared away
Is that a 750 carb?
I believe it was indeed a 750
Will the stage 1 cam need to be tuned? If it doesn’t will it pass a clean smog in California, rebuilding engine and thinking of putting stage 1 cam but don’t want to have to worry about doing a dirty smog. thank you in advanced
Any camshaft with require a tune and thus fail a clean smog test. The PCM with read misfires at idle and the check engine light will turn on. I do not recommend replacing your cam if you plan to clean smog your vehicle
Another note, with electric choke, if your high idle screw is in too far, as in all the way like mine was, it will not allow your curb idle to be set properly. You may think that the choke system has nothing to do with these adjustments because you are doing it when its hot, but it does. Your high idle adjustment holds open the butterfly just a tickle on choke. If it doesn't kick out all the way after warm, it will continue to hold that butterfly open at idle, thus exposing your transfer slots too much. This will render your curb idle and idle mixture screws useless. It will cause surging at idle and cause a stumble off idle as well. You should be able to kill the engine by turning the curb idle out too much. If you can't, theres a problem. Once your curb idle is set, you should be able to kill the engine by screwing in the idle mixture screws all the way. If this doesn't happen, your engine is recieving fuel from somewhere it should not be(ie: transfer slots that are too exposed) On the other side of the spectrum, make sure your choke butterfly is opening all the way when hot. If this doesn't happen, you will be trying to adjust everything while slightly choked. I am aware other things may cause these same symptoms, this is just one example of tail chasing that I experienced. Hopefully this helps someone as I beat my head against the wall trying to figure this out. This was on a 4160 carb that I got for free that was "running when parked" lol
