Another great show; thanks Adam and Mike and crew!!!
Have a great week!
Who is mike?
Sounds like the oil Vic is running is a regular motor oil, with a high zinc. Notice how he said something like, “…and we also have a synthetic with a zinc substitute…”? Les will like this.
Kinda “DEJA VU”
Love everything Adam does. GET IT ON!!!
Great move bringing Vic back in for the CarCast. He is always great to listen to because of the history he can speak to, but as always he can provide his opinion on the new technology as well.
Aceman, please break down and add an American car to your collection. Take a hit for uncle Sam sir…
I believe your favorite American muscle car from a styling aspect is a 1969 Camaro Z28. As is the same with many folks, myself included. You watch the Mecum auctions on occasion. Why not pick up a Z28 that matches your taste? Would like really nice to have a Chevrolet in you cool garage.
Appreciate you keeping a new CarCast each week!

Faster than a Ferrari 458 to 60 mph and you’ll never have to visit the gas station foreigners.
Adam’s first domestic car is on the way. Of course, it’s a vintage race car, but that’s all I’ll say for now.
Matt –
Adam, you need to read the Smokey Yunick 3 volume book set. You will love the vintage road stories and tech info. Please find this and read it, you will not be disappointed. Not your typical biography.
FYI “Smokey Eunuch” is also Ace’s gay porn name.
Did anyone else notice that the Corvette didn’t exactly start easily? Maybe it’s time for a different fuel pump upgrade.
BTW, I meant on the podcast…the video was edited. It took a lot of cranking and two tries to get it to fire up.
Kinda thought Christi was a hag. Met Vic and his other daughter Cami on the 04 Power Tour. Great People. Had no clue Vic is responsible for the Holley carbureator design. Very Cool.
Adam and Mike, thank you for having the Edelbrocks on the show. I was hoping that Adam or Vic might reference Smokey Yunick, then Vic starts off with a little known Smokey story…outstanding! Also, Dave Ringer’s post below about Smokey’s autobiography is dead-on and the best I have ever read. BTW-Smokey did not kiss Vic Edelbrock’s ass through out his writing.
