Inspecting the Suspension on a Tired Buick Century – MuscleCar S5, E12

1. Please stop using the word trick so much. And for the love of God, it's welding, not 'burninf it in'

2. You destroyed that Buick…Who's idea was that?

3. What an awesome car! You guys do a great job of going over the details. Really enjoying the build. This has become one of my absolutely favorite channels! Tommy is my absolute favorite as well! I would love to just hang with him for a while.

4. What happened with lower joints And spring install????

5. I will like to see a project like the 1973 Century or maybe a Laguna 73 or a chevelle 1975 those body that is har to find new parts. Guys, I Love this Show .

6. You can have something ricochet off your nugget before you know it

7. Those door handles are killing me

8. Always check the point dwell after setup. I remember how easy the old GM V8 points were to set – they were almost always close enough out of the box to start and run and ya just had to install em and stick an allen wrench in the distributor cap window while the engine was running to dial 'em in to 30* dwell on the dwell meter–easiest point setup ever no feeler guage needed. And what I really liked about points was they didnt usually just quit working like electronics do, you could feel the idle change as they wore over time giving plenty of warning they needed attention. My HEI setups have fried in the past leaving me high and dry. with points you have a time frame as they wear, with a single coil electronic system its either go or no go when the coil dies, one good point about multicoil electronic systems, except for the higher cost of eight coils etc.

9. Lot of buicks

10. When I came to Winnipeg in '89, my Grandad knew I sold my Civic to get here – so he gave me his 1974 Dodge Coronet (56,000 miles on it). It was a like a barge after my Civic; but after a week I just loved it .. I learned was torque was; and what "good room" side to side was like .. I remember looking at my left hand on the wheel and marveling how far away the door was. 318 in that car; the differential "went" (like a bowling ball in the trunk) .. so they found a posi-traction unit from a Fury .. new brakes (almost put myself through the windshield the first time I came to a light). That posi-traction you had to be careful on pure ice; but in snow it was fantastic in contrast. Drove that car for 7 years.

11. Again, the blazingly LOUD commercials ruin the video & what’s with YouTube’s far left marxists commercials.

12. lets face it cars SUCKED after 70.

13. Luckily that was the last year for that super bee, it was ugly as hell

14. Funny how back in the 60's and 70's, it didn't matter if you were buying a tune up kit for 1966 Pontiac GTO or 1973 big block Corvette, they all used the same exact Delco Remy kit, ..rotor, condenser, points and lube for like $5.99.

15. Would it kill them to do a Pertronix? Would it also kill them to sand blast the distributor & paint it?

16. Laughing at all the retarded morons who comment as if these episodes are current. lmfao, idiots.

17. Where's the video of the engine build, I can't find it.

18. Do you guys torque bolt to speck.

19. Put locktite on the A arm bushing bolts. It'll save you a nasty wreck.

20. Don’t like the way you install cotter pins (split pins) somebody is going to rip themselves to shreds on those tails.

21. Tommy on the Banjo and Fiddle

22. This is the first build Ive been following with you guys. I like when people take the "forgotten" cars and do something with them. I like the format of this show also. It has a production quality. I dont like the typical YouTube car guy "shows" shot in a reality format. Yall aren't like those.

23. Just got done replacing rotors, pads, bearings and seals on my Buick wagon. Very similar parts! Next time I take the wheels off might be ball joint and bushing time…

24. Love reading all the hater’s comments. Why can’t you people just be thankful that they’ve given us car guys a place to watch car shows instead of YouTube sending recommendations of cat videos… Thank you, PowerNation!

25. 3850 lbs. in 71…they were overweight pigs !

26. No wonder…it's a Century old 😜

27. so ha powerNation This show is like over 5 years old. you won't more views put up the new stuff lots of us don't pay for cable any more.

28. You guys are like a mix between Roadkill Garage and one of those older hot rod shows I used to watch where everything was perfect and clean. I like it!

29. I used to have a 69 vw, with points.
    I happened on a trick to extend the life of the points. Naturally if the point contacts were wearing unevenly, the condenser should be replaced.
    I found a new point set would go out of adjustment fairly fast. The plastic cam follower would wear fast at first causing the points to go out of adjustment.
    What I found was a cheap dwell meter. By resetting the dwell the timing would go right back to perfect.. The dwell meter was measuring the points gap. After a few adjustments the time the points staid in adjustment was getting longer and longer. The plastic cam follower was worn in to a good contact area. Every once in a while a very small dab of grease on the cam kept the cam follower lubed and wearing slowly.
    I put well over 70,000 miles on the bug with very few point changes.

    I wish I still had the bug
    Thanks

30. Tim wellborn has 'The Musclecar Museum' in alex city alabama. Its a nice place, but it should b called 'The Mopar Museum'. All hes got in there is mopar. I thought musclecar consisted of ALL musclecars, not just mopar…

31. It makes me laugh when I'm at the swap meet and the vendors trying to sell some schmuck one of those China made HEI distributors for a ford or non GM, they look bulky and hideous.

32. No polyurethane bushings for the control arms…that tank needs all the help it can get. The kits are inexpensive.

33. My 1964 Ford galaxie's front suspension is actually good and because it's been encased in grease exact the sway bar bushings

34. Project "blue collar",, again,,

35. Dude, get rid of the earrings, man..

36. How about clean up the distributer, how about a new cap, investing in new parts will save headaches later
