AM Radio - traction control is your feet. Same goes for “cruise control”... & stability control is your arms & hands, while blind spot awareness is the open headers... oh- & don’t forget the forward facing “adaptive cruise control/ collision detection” device- that’s your co-pilot riding shot-gun keeping both eyes peeled for lurking local patrolmen.. 😁

Glass packs RULE! Back in the day, there were all kinds of cool "brand names" available cheap. Most of them were just re-branded Cherry Bombs painted different colors. A lot of cars in my area ran "Orange Peelers". These days, I usually use DynoMax complete exhaust systems. On the other hand, for my latest project, I fired up the chop saw and welder. I modified 2 pairs of their tailpipes so that I could have 4 outlets under a 74 GMC pickup. The mufflers are Cherry Bomb Extremes, single in/dual out. Looks and sounds awesome with 2 polished stainless pipes on each side right behind the rear tires!

No click bait is really refreshing. Great observation. Tony is the real deal. Plus, he's a MOPAR guy. That alone makes him awesome.

I would go to the neighborhood gas station to add air to the Monroe air shocks I had installed. With the valve located just under the rear bumper.(1970 Z28). The old guy mechanic who owned the shop,would always say the same joke. "Hey young fella!. You'll never get air in your tires doing it like that!" 😂

I'm having flashbacks to my teenage years. And that forty-something-year-old guy down the street that would talk cars with me and my buddies. All kinds of knowledge....and he let us get high in his backyard.

and now we know why Chrysler put an extra leaf on one side of some of their performance cars.

Remember the flyers said "no rules are the rules" for grudge night? Then go to Newark Del and cruse and or street race?

I used a towing helper leaf on the right side of my A body back in the 80s. She sat a little funky in the parking lot, but launched flat.

Yep. I still run a single air shock and old school Competition Engineering adjustable slapper bars under my 74 Camaro. You can get the same result on a coil spring car by inserting an air bag inside the right rear spring. I recommend that to a friend for his 72 Malibu. That one change knocked almost a tenth off of his 60' times.

That sound brings on a bit of a chub

You have the most interesting starts to your video. 99% of the time it involves a cigarette. 😆 I ain’t complaining, I just think it’s funny.

Oooh this is why the Duster launches like a drunken cow on roller skates. Always learning something new, thanks for the great visuals. Thanks Uncle Tony and Uncle Cathy

Ya know this is exactly the type of car I fear encountering on the street...not the model specifically but the owner who knows how to hook it up.

Wow,,,helluva difference,, way straighter with the airshock...This video is scientific proof...Well done sir...

Your willingness to share your knowledge never ceases to amaze me Uncle Tony. Thanks so much!

I want my 318 run and sound like that!

Its simple. If uncle tony uploads it I like it.

It is stuff like this that makes me absolutely love this channel so much. The fact you are willing to help people have, well, more fun when racing. And, you gave us a very clear and practical showing of what happens with and without the preload from the air shock. And also, I just love your cars, so the info is a huge, HUGE bonus :)

Wow! Finally, somebody is talking about what I explained to a lot of folks back in the day (70s) about traction. They always asked me why my car sat lopsided. You have just explained it. That old Blue Goose has some giddy Up Go. Thanks a bunch.

Old school traction trick. Been doing this for years. Teach em Tony.

All those fancy high end car shows on TV for the last 20 years never taught what U.T.G. can in 5 minutes of real world application. Course I never gave much care to the TV show, I always had my head buried in magazines. Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge again.

Great analysis,and a clever solution.In the muscle car days('60s) we used to play around with air bags inside the rear springs.Shocks are the way to go,as you so well explained and demonstrated.

Neat tip from the top. Great explanation with a simple solution. Wisdom worth it's weight in gold as always.

Simple & intelligent info once again. Excellent Uncle Tony! Cheers😊

Now pair that with 90/10 front shocks, and a pinion snubber and launch like a pro. You are doing God's work thanks Tony.

Great video and explanation, Tony!

Another great lesson from a great teacher. Have a good one tony.

That motor sounds sooo good!! Thank you for sharing this street setup secret.

You could watch everything behave just the way you described it. Thank you for doing these videos.

U.T. thanks again for passing along knowledge to the "youngins" Piece by piece they're learning Built Not Bought, and "going fast for cheap" costs a WHOLE LOT less and it's twice as much fun winning out of your brain and not out of your wallet! Someday, when you're rich and famous, a full length movie on building a street racer start to finish would be f*"*ing hilarious and just cool as hell! Love the "test and tune" in a parking lot, industrial streets, anywhere there is pavement and no traffic - old school at it's best!!!! Aces, as always!

That's very smart and makes since. Thanks again toney

Thank you for spreading your wisdom master Uncle Tony

I've seen tracks like that many times on some of our back roads and never really gave it much thought why they, the burn marks, looked that way. Makes perfect sense now that you explained it. Thanks. I'm not there yet with a Vette I'm gonna rebuild, but I'll keep that in mind when i get to the suspension.

Hell Yes Uncle Tony! You hit the nail right on the head! It's all about keeping those back tires Planted and digging pavement! 90/10 adjustable's in the front help as well!

I love this guy, he is giving us pure gold. Quality content ✌🏼

Thanks Uncle Tony for your well versed demo!

I like the knowledge you bring all of us. Really helpful

Hey uncle Tony really straight forward explanation and boy l don't get tired of hearing that car pull away hi uncle Kathy as well regards Anthony from down under

Those old Fury’s are awesome looking Great tip. Love all your Mopar knowledge.

Awesome trick! Thanks Uncle Tony!

My first ride was a 84 dodge van with a 318..... love your content!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

I didn't have air shocks so I would play with the tire pressure and make sure the stripe was black all across the width of the tire and even on both side of the car. Helped a lot. Thanks for your great content.

Good video man. Made me rethink the set-up in my Camaro.

Thanks Tony! Very cool video and content!😎👍🏼❤️❤️

glad to see your website taking off! mopar for the win!

Thanks for entertaining us. Love that car

I love 70's 4-door land yachts and what qualified as a midsize back then. Just love'em, all makes too .

Tony I love all of these tips that you give. I don't here tips like this ANYWHERE else, like they are guarded secrets of the ancient order of the voodoo traction magic elders. Love ya Uncle Tony!

Sound advice Uncle tony! I did this back in the mid eighties on my '67 Camaro. I had two air-shocks on separate lines. I also had '65 Chevelle big block station wagon springs with a coil cut off on the front and no sway bar. It had a lot of stored energy to lift the front on launch and transfer the weight. Man I miss those days!

great trick. engine sounds like it runs great. nice work

Uncle Tony just made my day better by posting.

Came here after being recommended in the live stream...will definitely give this a try on the next build

New information every day (Uncle Tony was the one who invented Traction Control ) 👍keep up the good videos.

Great demo!

Uncle Tony is the fuggin man! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Tony(and Uncle Cathy), EXCELLENT demonstration on physics. Yea SCIENCE!!

I remember learning a little bit about this in tech school. Good stuff. We were discussing big trucks and suspension designs for max traction. Ever see a bobtail truck accelerate from the light and the frame rails lift? Thats like the suspension setup in a grand national, they lift the trunk when you nail it and use the vehicle weight to plant the tires. The way the teacher explained it was that's like grabbing a set of wheelbarrow handles underhanded and lifting. Feel your feet get planted with more weight. Lol when it squats on a launch that's bad , like trying to carry a wheelbarrow with your hands on top of the handles and pushing down (your feet left the ground , no traction) Man I love this stuff.

My first car was a 71 Camaro and when I bought it in 1983 it had air shocks ! Yeah man, your so right!!! I was only 19 when I found out about what you are explaining!!

Thanks for the content Uncle Tony!

Informative and its fun to watch that old car launch off. Cheers sir.

Tony! Never knew that would be one that would apply to street cars too, so that whole every action has an opposite reaction is the mantra amongst us four wheelers... dig it

Always experimented with extra spring clamps(sometimes with spring unloaded to hold more arch) n such but never thought about a one sided air system. Duh!!! Good one Uncle!!

Love this guy he is so real no BS.

I learn so much from your videos

Loving the content Tony!

Fascinating stuff! Tony is always teaching us something interesting.. It's not really of any use to me, since my car has a De-dion IRS rear, and when you stomp on it, it just goes without drama. But if I ever have a car with a solid axle in the rear, I will be stealing your knowledge! 👻 Wild stuff!

That car looks so fun to drive! Very cool..

Love the old school stuff....

GREAT VIDEO

Nice video this video is so thankful 👍✌

Best explanatory always.

Sounds great 👍

Back in 1977 I installed a set of air shocks on the rear of my 1970 firebird. That thing was insane! I felt every bump and pebble on the road, awful ride but……….. that thing would hook up! On hill jumps in San Francisco it wouldn’t bottom out but bounce like a basketball on big fat Kelly Springfield M50s and 7 inch pizza cutters up front with Keystone classics. You had to be there, good times.

Uncle Tony, you’re pretty good... with my help, you...... could be the best!!!!!

That was cool stuff , your car really runs !

gotta love Uncle Tony's no-nonsense approach. Purple hornies for the win!

I really like that car. There is just a understated nastyness about a built 4 door.

Lots of good stuff UT

I use air bags in the coil spring, I feel shock mounts are not made to support weight.you could mount the air bag between the leaf spring and the frame .

I knew that an air bag in the rear coil did that, like I have done in my 79 Malibu but I hadn't thought of using an air shock to do the same thing like in my 70 Nova. Thanks

Nothing like kicking Old School! Works everytime!

Heh. One of my friends got in on a pre-reopening at a local drag strip, invited me along. His Cutlass had a decent 350/400 setup, but it turned out it had 2:73 gears. Wasn't too bad, since it was about to shift out of 2nd at the far end, but it was sucking hind tit off the line. It annoyed him when I ran a quicker time than he did in his own car by about half a second, so I taught him about controlled wheel spin.

What about my dang open diff? Would this help get more traction to the 1 tire?

When I looked at the thumbnail I thought you were going to talk about putting 90/10 shocks in the front to help the front end come up faster to help weight transfer. I have run airshocks in the distant past but never thought of running different pressures. Good to know.

back in the 70's my dad's 'company car' was a metallic grey 74 Coronet. I've liked that body style ever since even though it's a 4 door lol

love your videos that car sounds great it makes a really great Sleeper Car not to mention I'm sure it's more comfortable than some of these little cars at least for guys like me I'm a little large and I don't mean tall

Uncle Tony, the more I watch your videos, the more I want to turn my New Yorker into a street racing hot rod - thank you for the wisdoms!

Back in the day, in the Direct Connection Catalog, you could order a bracket that mounted next to the leaf spring, which had an adjustable rod that mounted to the frame rail to prevent axle wrap. Wish I had one on a couple of my cars. I really twisted my leaf springs.
