Blower surge is the greatest sound humans have ever created

Mike. I'm a professional firefighter, amateur mechanic, but great at dropping things all the time. Get online and get yourself a set of Mcgill forceps. Whatever you drop into the carbs, those forceps are awesome at getting small things out of difficult places. I would highly recommend them, they have saved my butt so many times.

NOBODY is a yellow car guy. They just end up with them.

checklists, checklists, checklists! Beat a good man while he is down? No. Checklists are there for a reason and when you see the successful race teams, everything is labeled with the type of part and how many in each cabinet. But, they have people hired to do that every day…….! So, most people do what they can with what they have in the time available to them. Keep rocking, you will succeed and hit that 8 second mark!!!!!

don't give up on the duck. personally i find this content as more fun and interesting than anything else

I love that you can smile and laugh at yourself. Shows your a humble man, and thats whats missing in this world nowadays. Gob bless and take care of you and yours.
-
I appreciate that you show us that you still have regular-guy problems with your cars. A lot of people in the car world with your name recognition would't show us that.

Put it back on the dyno and have someone put a scope on the voltage supply to the ignition box and the voltage at the coil at 6300 rpm.
If you take the time to pull the timing cover and remove the top gear, you can get the numbers off the cam and find out what the specs are. -
I think it's about time to tear into this motor and find out for sure what it has.
-
Out of all of the cars in the Finnegan fleet, this is by far my favorite. The looks alone are master class.
Id put the interior back in and call it an amazing 9s streeter. -
It's funny to see the polymer handle pittsburgh ratchets in a lot of people's videos. So many people are quick to trash talk HF, but for the price some of the tools are great.

The senior moments are real, Mike. Embrace it, learn to love it, and chuckle with your friends when they happen.

I'd say always bring a Dragy unit and GET A WIDEBAND. You can verify individual cylinders with the spark plug, but you can't beat a wideband for the full rpm sweep and instant feedback.

Yall keep talking about this mystery engine builder, why dont yall cam it, and put some valve springs in already,😂😂

Was up all night getting the 72 f100 ready for Bandimere ford fest,
Left the sight plugs out the floatbowls, and sent the old lady, and Ole Blue down the dragstrip pouring fuel, one end to the other. Good thing nobody got hurt. -
Just admit to the fact fryburger built the engine with used chevy parts, and din't tell you.

I'll never get tired of Finnegan content - I learn something every time I watch. Thank you for great content always. The comments section sure makes me continue to hate most people though.
-
very instructive again! Thanks for sharing the work on this nice car
-
Anybody hating on you needs to chill out. It's encouraging to see guys like you and DF and all your buddies making mistakes and misdiagnosising stuff. Gives me a sense of hope.

Great episode Mike! The Rubber Duck looks and sounds great. I admire your drive to see this car in the 8's. Life is full of lessons, some of which we learn more than once. You and Joe make a great team. Don't give up!
