    It's amazing to think how far ahead of time Ed was back in his early racing days. I bet millions of people are finding the answers to problems they are having by watching these videos. I know I’ve learned alot. Thanks Ed

    I'm 73 and thinking I might be too old to be working on cars, but Ed is an inspiration. Thank you Ed! Keep up the good work!

    Even AI or google wouldn&apos;t know the things this guy knows, &nbsp;eventually when he&apos;s gone all that knowledge will go with him.

    When I hopped up a Mopar 360 in my youth I had no idea the vacuum problems I was creating with a big cam. the vacuum advance, the brakes, even the vacuum vents, everything went haywire. OOPS.

    Had heard that Hendrick was using rods designed for a Honda engine for their super speedway cars in the late 90&apos;s , because they live a 8700-9000 rpm for 500 miles.

    Living in Canada I can certainly relate to Ed&apos;s mention of snow dripping off the bottom of the car you&apos;re working on.....🥶

    As usual Ed&apos;s got a answer, man to know and remember all that he does is amazing. I&apos;m 62 been a do it yourself and self thought hot roder all my life from motorcycles cars trucks drag racing bigs pulling pretty much anything that sounded fun and we had something to do it with or could afford to build we gave it a try. But I&apos;m afraid I just can&apos;t remember all that knowledge like he does. Ed must have been living right!

    100% agree with Ed on wanting to move when your up in Michigan or Ohio ect and that snow and slush slides down your neck. Or the summer months when all the winter rust is flaking off and finding its way into your eyes safety glasses or not.
