    How does the choke heating element ground through the carb when there is one, maybe multiple paper type gaskets that isolate the carb from engine ground? thru dirty threads on carb studs? shouldnt one measure Ohms from pos choke to actual engine block or even battery grnd? if my carb has no wire to this carb electric choke then i have zero working choke?

    Outstanding explanation for a non-car guy like me. I have a 68 Galaxie fastback w original engine/carb/intake, etc. and the choke was basically stuck, so the spring didn’t move anything as it heated up. Taking this apart made me nervous but it worked- so car can now start without keeping accelerator pedal floored. Now I just have no fast idle at all so I will try turning it that screw underneath the choke mechanism IF I CAN REACH IT.

    You’re awesome! Best carb video ever! The only thing is, could you demonstrate the actual proper settings of those excellent explanations you made in this video? I now understand the basics of setting screws in each area but the actual setting they need to be at for a proper general set up would be really helpful even further. Thanks for sharing your knowledge about this topic!!! Just at basic Fall into Winter setting vs a Spring into Summer setting. That would help tremendously!

    Thanks for the video, Bill. What resistance coil are you using? I wired my ignition exactly as you've shown with a 1.5 ohm Pertronix coil. The car won't run at all with a 3.0 ohm coil. With the 1.5 ohm coil, it will run, but cut off when it gets hot.

  • @bradkuz76
    @bradkuz767 ай бұрын

    Im working on a 2100 currently. Its probably the 3rd or 4th 2100 ive done in my life but this one is different. Its different than the 2 we have in the shop and its different than the 2 you show on your video. It doesnt have a provision to open the choke with the throttle all the way open. Its on a 72 Gran Torino and its got a 351c. The fast idle cam is stepped on by an arm that rides on the throttle shaft and its got a adjustment screw that rests on a bracket that is connected to the end of the throttle shaft. I was checking the clear flood and noticed the choke didnt open. Its very strange. At this point in the game most of these carburetors have been molested by anyone and everyone with a screwdriver but this one looks like its maybe had one or two rebuilds in its life. Just wondered if anyone else had worked on one like ive got. Or if Im missing something. Thanks for your video.

    Give ‘em hell Harry!”.....I mean Bill....LoL.😆 Truman replied, “I don’t give them Hell, I just tell the truth about them, and they think it’s Hell.” ~1948~.😉 Even the antiquated 100yr. old Bosch coil on 50's-60's VW Bug runs 0.025" - 0.028", probably because of the non-resistor rotor that you modified the Delorean rotor & removed the 5k ohm resistor to be able to run a larger gap. I'd say your HEI coil mod is good up to .040--.045, just like for GM's (and what JZD wanted but was black listed to buy it from GM) & stock Bosch coil w/your rotor mod. maybe up to .036+, but see how it runs or verify the trace pattern on an ignition scope. Then of course my ignition fetish for the PRV is there's a long forgotten "Classified Top Secret" spark box & plug mods that can be made to take the Delorean ignition to a whole other level, but would require advanced EMI/RFI shielding, since the ignition would be approaching 1.21 GigaWatts!🤔

    Ok Delorean Dudes & Dudettes, here is my Christmas gift to everyone backing up "Outlaw Delorean Billy"! LoL. This was what I was also Ranting about below. This forum thread is by a very famous US/Canadian based transportation engineer to the o.e. who writes on a few forums under multiple names. He also writes safety regulations for North America & European Unions as well as an editor for a transportation trade industry journal. " Dan" is a blessing to have been helping the auto community for years. I hope this info helps bring the Delorean owners out of the dark ages & how an HEI applies to not only Mopar ignition upgrades but exactly what Bill speaks of, but with different choice of proven quality ignition components. In the internal links in his write-up, he also writes under a different user name & refers to what coils to buy, unfortunately that info about MSD has changed since 2006 & they sourced many if not all their coils in China with high failure rates. Maybe they improved again, but at one point Mallory HEI coils were best matched with certain ignition boxes & more reliable according to the German ignition engineer I know below. Hence NASCAR always has 2 sets of ignition boxes bolted to the dash too flip a switch if one stay fails! LoL! Time to put the JigaWatts where Doc Brown & JZD intended it to be with a much needed ignition mod. & upgrade to HEI for your Delorean! ✌www.slantsix.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15779

    You are 1000000% percent correct! Wow Bill its really that bad among these Delorean owners? Such a shame they don't listen to us old school guys. You are a trooper among the ignorant who have never been in the domestic old school performance tuning & engine building..... Bill, get yourself a PICO Scope & prove to them with an ignition scope with the trace pattern or pick up a vintage huge SunScope diagnostic machine old garages used in the 50's-80's, & you can see the primary & secondary scope trace patterns of the Bosch vs. HEI coils & would be more prominent under load. Now, I know of a Top Secret plug mod that was developed & intentionally buried because of a patent dispute by a well known & famous racer/builder & its an easy mod to improve any plug of an HEI & bet would really benefit these PRV motors that have many design flaws & deficiencies that I recognize & I found the 1975 SAE paper on the PRV, & it proved I was right about this motor & the o.e. engineers acknowledged this inherent problem, but decided to cut costs of probably $5-10 per engine & let it go & eventually causes a multitude of problems for the poor PRV among every car it was used in like "hint" sinking cylinder liners! LoL. And they marginally solved it going to an even fire crank in 1984 platform & COP crank triggered ignition on the 3.0 PRV. I thought it was comical that the French used odd-fire platform that didn't so work that great with its inherent "bad" not "good" vibrations that the Buick odd-fire Fireball 90degree V6 used a decade earlier & sold it to Kaiser Jeep renamed The Dauntless, in the early 70s Buick bought it back from them & added HEI !!!!!! LoL, cause it worked good enough for an odd-fire 90deg. Buick V6, but Bosch didn't follow suit because they didn't want to pay patent rights for the HEI development by GM Delco-Remey Division! invented in 1975. Its hard to believe that John Delorean even allowed that low voltage ignition to be used on his car, but I am certain he was cutoff by GM to license or use their HEI but I wonder what ignition the turbo cars used! I bet they used a big Accel coil or something, unless not. Chrysler used the first transistorized Electronic Invention in 1975....too bad they didn't work together & merge these technologies. Here is what the Delorean purists need to reconsider that Bosch ignition was antiquated for combustion efficiency & was an injustice to use on the PRV & futuristic Delorean using 80yr. old ignition technology as well as an oddfire platform abandoned by GM & PRV & the French thought they could do better! www.novak-adapt.com/knowledge/engines/about/buick/buick-90-v6/ This is all old school hard core race tuning tricks to switch to HEI with a full relayed 12volts with 10awg silver- MIL spec wire + & good ground for both the coil, module, & also a separate ground to block on the distributor housing is what we did to maximize GM HEI's & modules. I have to study your setup & what heatsink you use for the module & should be just like a desktop CPU processor heatsink to keep it cool, but most importantly these modules run hot & need high quality thermal compound to pull the heat out, just like used on CPU's. Thats where most HEI's weak point was.....Motor keeping the module cool & away & shielded from EMI & RFI. I am itching to start a Delorean R&D company to bring that PRV into the future. There was a very well known industry ignition electrical engineer from Germany who held a few ignition patents & was invited by GM in early 90's to enhance their HEI's with a Plasma Discharge module, but GM was upset over his patent, that they couldn't knock off his technology, so he went into the performance aftermarket with proven results by a very well known leaders in the old school race/engine builders scene, & it went to market sucessfully but quitely & was showcased in all the hit rod mags with proven DYNO numbers, but he was run out of the US by the ignition-box Big Shot Brands here in the US, so its now the leading performance ignition box in both Europe & Japan & he licensed it out & sits back & collects checks. Happy to see he's still around & consultant to a Euro aftermarket o.e. replacement ignition parts mfg , equivilant to our well known brands like Standard Ignition & WELLS Ignition. This company he licenced his patented technology too just released this same plasma ignition developed in the 90's by him that far exceeds MSD, Crane, multi spark boxes; & marketed to the performance aftermarket for Mercedees AMG & other high end luxury performance cars in the tuning aftermarket & those coils with his technology are $2500 & they work to even improve over Mercedes modern day coil Bosch technology! Oil cooled low voltage coils are "So Model-T era"! Its the equivalent of a caveman making a spark with 2 stones vs. an auto-igniter blow torch! Or even the spark from a bbq igniter. I'd like to see anyone who argues the point of getting a jolt from a ballast resisted coil vs. getting juiced by an HEI which you never forget!!!! I have literally 100's of hard core race tuning tricks to apply to these PRV's & I have another 100 re-engineering concepts to apply to the PRV subsystems that have never been attempted, & would all look stock but bring that PRV far into the FUTURE 21st century & beyond. Unfortunately, social media effectively brainwashes all walks of life. & it seems that many Delorean owners are not comfortable with change & took the time machine back to the Stone Ages of spark & ignition technology. I'll pray for them to see 88mph way faster than they can imagine using old school hard core engine building tricks & advanced R&D that poor prv needs..... RANT ON BROTHER.........✌

    Outstanding!! Exactly what I was looking for. I have one question, where should power for the choke cap come from? Mine is hooked up to an ignition source so it’s hot after the key is on and stays on which I imagine would fry the plate after a while. Thanks for your excellent teaching. I will look for more carb videos as my 89 YJ with the 2150 needs a bit more tweaking.
