You hit the nail right on the head Bill, it's the Family, the passion and it's all from the heart. People can relate to your family and yourself because all aspects of the videos are about life. Love the content, enjoy all the channels. God Bless Mate.

To be honest Bill, one thing I miss in my life is having a buddy like you around. A car guy and mechanic all my life, I too struggle with the Holley tuning and that rich idle issue. Appreciate all the tips as burning eyes gets kinda old. Have a great setup on my 454. Getting it dialed in is the key. Always appreciate you including Miss Vicki as she adds something special in many ways. Her smile and laugh bring joy to my heart as I'm sure it does yours. Hope that's not too deep but, hey it's your fault for being so likeable.

I wish my dad was like that. I love my dad and him and my mom sacrificed everything for me and my sister. He was amazing with kids until it came to me. It would go from take the carb off to where the fuck did you come from. You are not my blood as you can’t do anything right. I would eventually shut down and didn’t want to do anything. I finally left for the army when I was 17. He was better when I got out 8 years later but then I had some boys and he was doing it to them behind my back. I was fighting for custody of my kids and was answering for his verbal abuse as I believe in teaching your kids to have thick skin. But telling my kids that their mom is a lazy whore and needs to die is to far even if I agree with his feelings. So I cut ties with him. I watch the ole man and his boys and makes me miss my grandfather who was my biggest fan and hero. He was like bill with me. But he died when I was in desert storm and never got to say goodbye. Cherish your dad and hope he is in your life forever.

Gotta say Bill is the A1 carburetor whisperer. They all know when the old man comes walking in with his tool box of screwdrivers and a timing light (as chief would say) 😂 SRC Garage is the most relatable channel in every aspect of a gearhead. It’s crazy to see how much this channel keeps growing day in and day out.

The reason your channel is doing so well is because you don’t put on a screen persona whenever there is a camera around. Honesty warts and all. I found you through Billy’s channel and it got to the point where I would fast forward his videos to get to the point where you were in the video working on the truck. 🤣 so when you launched your channel I was over the moon. Very excited to see where you take us on your journey Bill. Please stop selling yourself short. You are putting out content that many of us look forward to. EVERY DAY. 😊

I love watching the videos, but when you want to listen to how a car sounds it always seems to have music playing and ya can't hear it , otherwise love the videos

What a joy it is to listen to someone talking about cars/engines, who knows what they're talking about.

Personality and the family content are the best part of both of your channels! There are nicer racecars, bigger shops, but this one feels like home !

Bill I enjoy all of your knowledge of carbs. Thanks

Keep it up Bill. You nailed it in the ending of video, there's several reasons I've never missed one of your videos. Main one is you're honest, you don't cherry pick the best moments around the shop. I enjoy the little day to day stuff as much as the racing. Extremely good combination. You should be very proud of your channel Bill- I'm proud to recommend it to gear heads like myself without a second thought.

Just lovin’ your content Bill…

What I love about your channel is that you're real! You show you and the truth whether the camera is on or off. Thank you!

Love you old man that’s what’s up family 😎

I think the reason that you guys have taken off and have grown such a huge and wide fan base is because you are so relatable!!! This is why I have such a deep connection with your content! I can so easily relate to most all of your content! I love your family and everything it stands for!

Been playing with cars for 25 years and you taught me something today.

I watch because it reminds me of my father and I. Him and I built a bbc 1986 c10. The truck came from a friend of his that passed away and its always been his dream to put a built 454/th400 with a Ford 9" and thats exactly what we did. The truck isn't 100% finished yet but its damn close and he drives that thing all over the place. My father and I havent always seen eye to eye but this project has brought us so close together that we're basically best friends now and pretty much inseparable and I couldn't be happier with the way things have turned out both with the truck and our relationship. You and your family have truly been more than an inspiration. Thank you so much.

the reason i love this channel is the family part of it, for one thing you remind me so much of my dad. my father pasted away 22 years ago when i was 29 and the things i miss the most is just sitting down talking to him. if i had any words of advice for Billy And tommy it would be to cherish to time you have with your dad..

It's cuz some of us actually think your a cool dude and share same interests as you. Some of us actually can relate to everything that may upset you( that close up of your toolbox). Some of us can't work on cars like they would like to or did when they were younger due to physical limitations ( living thru you vicariously maybe). I'm 52 now and had a nice 79 Camaro with a healthy 355 in my late teens and early 20's. Nice clean car, 4.10 rear end, healthy trans, ran good. One small problem.......it had the exact problem as this Nova in this video. I had a 72 Nova as well. Black on black. Nice car. This video reminded me of mine. I hope this may shed some light on to as why this is one of my favorite channels. I didn't wait to shake anybody else's hand at Onandaga. You're a good dude Sr.

The family dynamic is why I keep watching! Just a normal family out having fun doing what they love! Keep it up

Absolutely beautiful car. And don't be down man. I know it's hard but This is your time now. Kids are grown, happy and successful. Which means you were fully committed 100% to your family and kids and you did a great job. You succeeded in life and this is the payoff for all the hard work and sacrifices you made. Now it's your time to do what you want.

Hardly ever comment on anything but can’t help myself this go around. You hit the nail on the head when talking about “other KZread channels “ not talking off . I watch you because I feel the content is real , I’m not sure how to word it exactly but I don’t feel as if anything is forced or you’re trying to stuff merchandise down my throat, or asking for money every five seconds during the video. I understand that is the sole purpose of some channels and honestly I don’t watch to many of those , nor do I see anything wrong with them just not for me. So keep up the good work Bill, be yourself and thank you!

What I’ve been waiting for all day

No worries about higher quality videos..I love the family aspect of the channel and the fact that you show it's not all rainbows and unicorns..perfect just the way it is..god bless

Bill one great thing that I enjoy about your channel is be it bad or be it good it’s all about the family!!keep up the great work now let’s get to wrenching on your Nova! I wish the Video’s were longer enjoy them so much. Thanks my friend!

One night, Billy's carb, next night, another carb. You need to start watching your carbs big guy. LOL

Bill.. Your opinion of what sets the SRC channels apart is EXACTLY why I subscribe. I found the SRC channels doing research for an engine swap in my Sonoma. I had zero interest in street racing and haven't been to a track since hell, 2000 maybe.. I enjoy the content, your channel especially. I like how yall keep things real. All families roll thru rough times, but I think you have one hell of a family. Whats awesome is you and Mrs Vicky know it and so humble.. Fan of the boys and their racing. Still not very interested in street racing. However, I am gaining interest in trying to set up my Sonoma to do drag and drive race weeks.. I think thats something you might enjoy doing with your Nova. It would get you on the road doing something different, and possibly introduce yourself to a different group within the culture..

Street racing isn’t how it’s made out to be. I’m 52 and been doing it since I could drive. Yes it’s illegal but we don’t do it in areas with homes and traffic. It’s organized and well ran in most areas. We have lookouts for cops and traffic. There is nothing like it.

Your Nova is really nice. I can't wait till you get back to that car. Hate to see it just sitting on the side of your shop. You have so much history with that car. Great video.

I been waiting on the old man's video good timing for sure Mr old man!!! Just got home from slot car racing I take the 2 boys that lives next me I have no kids never married can't have kids 😢 but it is wat it is these 2 boys have no father figure at all the there so called father left when they 5 and 6 years old 💯💪 ur nova is gonna look good mr old man 💯😎 caint wait till u get started on ur nova bill🏁💯💪

Right on time 👌

Big homie! I needed your entertainment. I missed ya.

Thank You MR Hoskinson,finally someone saying what I been "preaching" for so many years:A engine with some performance needs to have the vacume connected to what I prefer to call "full vacume" or manifold vacume. Had a stroker 284 cu.in. inline six with 10.6 compratio connected that way and it could idle in the summer heat for hours without a stumble or getting overheated (and that car had a stock radiator from a 2 litre Volvo engine), so that is also to take in to consideration in my humble opinion. You are a great inspiration to me even IF You are a young guy compared to me,looking at your videos made me take the jump and start making videos myself,long way to go but i'm learning as I go... Keep upp the same way and and never change the way You are. Come over the pond in August and I will guide You around at the Stockholm Open...

Another good video Cooter the carburetor man!!!

its the small town "american dream" feel of your videos. the blue collar humor, the pups, your wife (not in that order, sorry miss vicki). the boys, your equipment, your dads life, your brother etc. i would give my left n#t for your home shop, and iv worked in some pretty big shops in my day. you said previously that you dont want people "idolizing you". i really dont think most do, however, i do think alot envy you. your boys have taken the steps to more responsibilty for themselves, which means waking up some dreams you put on the shelf 25 years ago. have at it bill, you deserve it, and if you dont mind, take us along with you!

I enjoyed this video, I love it when a old school gear-head starts giving out knowledge! Loved it! The family side of it is what set both channels off! You are the one we all looked for at the starting line waiting for Billy and tommy to race! Teaching fits you well your good at it! Hopefully your the one still lining the boys up at every race! Most of us spend so much time running through life we forget whats important! Family! Even if billy or tommy never won a race again your family is who we would be pulling for because of that family side of it! Limpys livee feed is all about billy and tommy and you, Even after they are out of the race that says alot!

I personally connect with you and your family because we share the same values and stand on the same principals. Not to mention the racing aspect which is amazing! The behind the scenes content is why I think you are finding a following where some others are not. I basically just repeated what you already said! 😆

Old friends are irreplaceable, their hearts and intentions are always genuine. Thanks for the carburetor tech. The way you explain it made it a lot easier for me to comprehend. We'd love to see more of this kind of content. Thanks so much for sharing. Take care, be safe, and have fun regardless!!!

I love your channel bill !! I look forward to everyone you put out.. Your a hell of a good man and father its easy too see you love your kids , an Murder Nova prolly wants too come watch you all race and hangout with you like a bunch of us do , an thats just because you all are awesome people an a great family to be around !! Keep that Content Coming Bill ! 👍

Bill always love watching your videos. They are as genuine and real as you can get. I can’t wait to watch you get some of your own builds worked on.

Thanks for the video Bill! Always good to learn new stuff and I think you're right on what sets you all apart!

Your Chanel Bill and Derek at Vice Grip Garage are “must watches” for me personally. I say this because I truly learn from you both and you both overcome car challenges you face. I watch some others too, but they are more show than know, if you understand what I mean by this. Keep them coming. Also idea to think about. If your boys want to go a separate path to what they have been on with you, you are doing the right thing to make their own decisions on their own, including mistakes. That is how we develop. But you should never lose sight of the facts there are very many young people who want to go racing and can certainly use the help you provide for this to happen. Don’t be shy about making yourself available to them. It will enable you not to be alone and put some new faces and challenges in your future videos - smiles and knowledge too. Also you have the lift, they do not. That is a big deal. Keep smiling.

Vice grip is my number one and SRC channels are my second. It also helps I’m a buckeye like Bill and his family. When Molly put out her video of Bill loosing his temper was hard to watch. I didn’t agree with her cowardly way of hiding behind the seat and I also didn’t agree with how Bill was talking to her. But he done what 99% of adult males in today’s world won’t do and that is own it. I already had major respect for him and his family and it only grew from his ownership of it. I love learning new things about anything with an American V8 and want him to get the nova in the garage and put class in session. He also needs to put out a merch line of shirts and hats and hoodies. He said he doesn’t want to be idolized but I see it as respect for a amazing father and a knowledgeable man who is willing to teach anyone who will listen.

Watched your video and man, you saved my bacon. I have a 383 stroker that for the life of me I could not get to run correctly. You were right about the timing. Increased it four degrees and like magic the engine came alive. I thought it was only a carburetor problem because the timing was within manufactures specs, but it was exactly what you said. Once the timing was advanced, the other adjustments on the carburetor were straight forward. Old guys rule for sure. Thanks.

You're just fkn awesome Bill. You're real and don't sugar coat shit. That's why we love watching this channel. And to top that off just old school and some of us were raised the same way and it just reminds of us growing up in the shop with our fathers.

I watch you more than Billy's channel. I connect more with you because I'm your age and absolutely love your content you put out no matter how bad you think it might be. You're honest and down to earth and that's probably why a lot of people watch your channel. I would love to meet up with you some day and talk about racing. I did a little but not much. I'd actually like to get back into it. I have a few cars I could race but idk at this point, they wouldn't be very fast. Basically just street cars. Plus I'm not far from you.

In my opinion, racing is the most family oriented sport that exists. The effort and focus it takes varies, but if you want to be successful, at any level, it takes everything you have. A joke says it best; “get your kids into racing because, they won’t have time to find trouble, or money for drugs & alcohol.” Racing makes for both good / challenging times, but makes memories that won’t be forgotten.

Man Bill, the quench and combustion chamber design would be a concern if the engine needs 42*. More times than not if an engine needs 40*+ timing the combustion chamber is inefficient, like those in many Pontiac V8 heads. Be leery arbitrarily trying to run an engine above 40* especially on pump gas; Inaudible detonation is a possibility, read the plugs carefully! JD

@@theoldmansgarage I have it at 36 now starts and runs good but plugs are rich and rich smell out exhaust like your buddy's in video. Willing to pay and drive to you if you ever change your mind message me. thank you for info I appreciate it just a newbie learning as I go

You sir hit the nail in the head on why everyone here loves watching. Everyone else mostly show the good times but you guys share the struggles which in part gives other hope that they too can make it.

Your one of a kind and that's a shame we need more honesty men like you who can show that hard work, and love for family is nothing to be ashamed of. Your doing great job!!!!

Hey bill

Love the videos and the day to day makes your channel so great all the updates on the cars and trucks and your daily grind keep up the great work

Your content and family first attitude is why I look forward to seeing any SRC videos. The tough times, the good times, they all require love and respect. Work Hard Play Hard You guys are awesome 😎

Your knowledge is very very worthy of your time and sharing.THank you.

D'oh! The way you just explained the ignition timing made complete sense to me, now I get it. I currently don't have a rod, but soon, soon I will again.

Great video Bill. Love the content and perspective of your channel. Keep up the great tuning tips.

Great video ole man and remember the kids will always need you. Do your own thing and always be there for them.

A good example of what you're saying at the end is looking at your '55 and your Nova. The shape they are in is from the sacrifices you've made. I've got projects like that too. Media tends to make us all want to have magazine-worthy cars. You're doing what you can like the rest of us. Its real.

100% correct I like the fact of showing the family aspects of the channel it shows true values of the life of a racing family

Bill thank you for the videos. I dont normally comment on videos. I love watching yalls channels because they remind me of my relationship i had with my father. He passed away in 2016. I was the same way as Billy is. I wish i could talk to him and tell him " Do everything you can to keep your dad involved in some way of your every day life. Because when he is gone you can never get that time back". I missed so much time with my dad due to girlfriends and me thinking i knew everything. Then i missed 12 years due to being in the Navy. Thank you Bill for letting me feel like im watching my dad. You and him could of been best friends. Thank you again and God bless.

Great video! You really make the advance - either vacuum or mechanical, really easy to understand and make sense of. And how locked out can be an advantage. Thank you!

Pops your an awesome man, a great teacher, and a amazing role model, and you stay humble. Keep your head up and you and the family have a safe and blessed holidays! Keep up the amazing work you do.
