After a lot of time, effort, some money, alot of frustration, my 1937 Buick 320 Straight 8, with the homemade dual carb intake and exhaust is making some noise on it's own! I'd guess its been 50+years since this car has made any noise, and after working on it the last 6years or so, its breathing to life! Stromberg Big 97's feeding into a Porter steel pack. I have some dialing it in but im real happy! Im not sure what im doing wrong here, but using the media ****on and copying the youtube link and clicking embed doesnt seem to be cutting it https://youtube.com/shorts/FOaIL5ugx1w?si=YaRT9ZCTWpWolebt https://youtube.com/shorts/ZeEdjWOp7IY?feature=share https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVonEj-Ccxk/?igsh=cm1qb2xjdjRmcGxp
I just love seeing intake and exhaust manifolds that people make in their garages and shops. That is what hot rodding is all about.
you will probably have to move the video into YouTube and then add the link here, I, like several others would like to hear that baby talk. Nice job on the intake/exhaust!!
Thanks guys! Im not sure what im doing wrong, ive been getting an error message saying that the specified URL cannot be embedded as media when i click on the media ****on and add the youtube link these are the videos i was trying to share, i dont do youtube, ive only ever uploaded videos there to share on forums https://youtube.com/shorts/FOaIL5ugx1w?feature=share https://youtube.com/shorts/ZeEdjWOp7IY?feature=share I have a sometimes updated build thread here if you want to see me guess my way through things https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/slow-and-poor-37-buick.1100567/page-12 this is the last time it was outside, the nose came down a little when i started loading things up, and evened out how it sat a bit, but i do like that its a big car and will probably stay around that height for awhile
Sweet - car looks and sounds great - great job on intake and exhaust fab - like the way ya tucked the 6 volt battery in too
Without any math to back it up, i felt like there was going to be maybe too much intake plenum volume, so i made a little recess for the underside. This also sort of seperates, but keeps intake runners/ balance tubes between the carbs Used some expandable rubber freeze plugs and a radiator pressure tester to pressure test the intake and make sure there werent going to be a bunch of leaks Cerakoted Satin Aluminum to give it a cast look
Wicked... I worked for a diehard Buick nut back in the late '80's, he had a '37 coupe a**** several others... he loved that straight eight.
