You need to polorize the regulater.

Spring on drum prevents chatter when cutting

Headlights are smoking out from age need new 6014. Lights. Dimmer switch on floor toast. Radio needs to warm up tubes to play and needs antenna

Another enjoyable video chaps. Love your enthusiasm. Keep up the good work.

the spring on the drum is to reduce harmonic vibration. nothing to do with balancing. You need to change or overhaul the wheel cylinders.

put a couple of galands of white vinigar in the fuel tank that will clean any rust and stuff out of it. pull the tank though and shake the tank every few days.

I been a mechanic for over 60 years ask me anything you want ...

Stop being in such a big rush fix it then drive it

The cops ain't going to love it

The spring on the brake drum is to reduce vibration and stop brake noise

That head light smoking means it's about ready to blow out

That trans takes 11 quarts

Your thinking about the oil change is just fine ...I got everything you guys need for that old car just setting on shelves getting dusty too bad we couldn't make a deal..I even got a good radiator..

good show.need 2 upgrade ur skills abit keep on truckin u'll git 😎👍

The distributor in the back makes it a small block, most likely a 318. I have a 73 DC SE Brougham with the 400. Love the universe out of those Mopars.

The old engine sounds good you need to adjust the idel mixture screws on carb. You need to find some double hump heads and a 4 barrel for it then it will be what they call a 265 power pack then put a 4 speed in it with some 356 rear gears or 411s put some straight pipes on it..keep up the good work I'm 74 been wrenching fo 60 years and I'm still doing it I got a 383 s10 and a 47 chevy coupe

Well done on getting it running. Yes it ran off the carburettor but it ran because you used the throttle too. When you were trying to get it running of the bottle you were not opening the throttle. FYI- It will never start if you don't open the throttle to give it some air to go with the fuel. Cheers Stew

need to find the carter four barrel for it

I just bought a 74 Charger, the plan was to get it running and then fix it as I drove it but I just found out Monday that I'm being transfered by the Company to Hawaii right after Christmas, so now I'm going to more to it atleast at first, because I'm going to ship it over and I'm going to give my 99 Avenger to my niece as her first car when I leave.

Great video chaps, really enjoy your content. Keep up the good work.

It took some fiddling but with the boat-tank she lit off, and sounded healthy. Get a new radiator, and if the trannys good, you'll be going down the road !

Love watching your content. Wish you guys would do more videos like this. You two make a great team. If you need some advice on some things I was a mechanic back in the seventies through the nineties so I pretty well know my stuff. Just finished overhauling my 76 Impala and it is running great. Love you guys.

Good job !

This car would be an ideal for a bear metal black clear coat all over it and that it. Just one of my ideas good luck with your 56

Uhhhhhhhhh I thinks that’s enough gas🙄

Great job! Give me ideas for mine.

I had a 73 SE with the 400-2 barrel.B-5 blue with blue interior.It was ok not a power house by any standards.It drove real well though and I loved it.

If you have issues with getting this thing to stay running , it is gonna be your starter relay! The one that you want to go with will not be the blue , the black or the orange you specifically want to use the anodyzed metal one! If you are looking to get interior or trim peices for this model you can inter change most of the 71', 72',73' and 74's With the exception of minor things like the tail lights and Louvered opera window inserts. Those came only in the 73' and 74'. The fender marker lights are also different between the 73 and 74 compared to the flush mount 71 and 72. But interior you can use from those 4 years, unless you have bucket seats compared to a split bench seat. But on the other hand parts are very nilly on these 71-74 B body Chargers.

My buddy in Michigan has this exact car.But has this race semi orange?He has the original 400 cubic inch motor in his garage in a cabinet.But he installed a four forty with a sixpack in it. We ended up cutting out a second hood to install the six pack scoop on Easter of 2012. It has been in the Detroit Autorama 6 times taking 2nd place all 6 times. The car was originally silver, but was painted in 96 and is now Race Hemi orange which has more red in the paint than that of regular Hemi Orange. The car was nice enough to be praised by Chip Foose and George Barris so much that George came to his car 3 years in a raw at the Woodward Dreamcruise in Michigan. I am the only person besides him to be able to drive it, and only 1 of 8 people to ever have my hands working on it and doing restoration work to it. This was known as a "Coke Bottle" body. As with my buddy's car this was produced at the "Lynch Rd. ASSEMBLY PLANT, in detroit. It is a slick ride, and looks sweet!

buy a couple more cans of paint, ya missed a couple spots.

My dad bought an old Cushman when I was a kid. Your episode brought back a lot of great memories. Thanks!

piece of 2x4 and a screw clamp make a steering wheel.lol. things happen. bakelite plastic gets weak with age and breaks easy in spite of the extra care you take.

NYPD and at the time NYC Housing Police used to ride around in the Cushman "scooters".

My first car was a 1954 Mainline with the inline six. Great automotive for a sixteen year old. It was 13 years old and in rough shape made a mechanic out of me.

Yall don't quit your day job !!!! Hopefully it's something your better at !!

Swap a 3,4 engine outa a CAMARO and be done😊😊

That brings back memories of my husband struggling with him swap in our 81 Delta 88 tranney 😂

Love the car, great video and I subscribed because I think you got all the right stuff!

The overheating will be a radiator or a fan clutch. I've never had a Mopar overheat for any other reason. The "throttle rod" has a procedure for adjusting it. Mopar used several different versions depending on the car and the engine, but the short story is that on the later models the adjustment is made at the transmission. You have the "throttle lever" on the transmission with a smaller rod and pivot arrangement on the outer end of it. Normally there is a bolt that you loosen so that the small rod can slide front to rear. With the carb at base idle, you pull the throttle rod forward at the carb until there is no space in the slot there, then pull the throttle LEVER on the trans forward against it's stop, then tighten the bolt. My concern is that the correct van 318/727 throttle rod won't fit the car at all because I think it's one long piece. Hopefully the 904 throttle rod arrangement can be made to work with the 727. All mine have been SB/904 or BB/727 combos. When it holds gear far too long without or before shifting, the throttle rod adjustment is too tight. In other words, the linkage is pushing the throttle lever on the trans too far rearward for the amount of throttle you are giving it so it thinks you are way down on the gas...if that makes sense. Don't run without the throttle rod disconnected, that burns them up quick.

Excellent job guys!

Keep them crappy champion spark plugs out of there if you put new plugs in. Just saying

Cool project! It’s fun to see the salvage yard pull. Always rewarding to repurpose one to help another

Good to get a 727, though you will have to have your driveshaft shortened if you are going from a 904 to a 727, though there are shorter versions of each.

If it makes you feel better, I once took a Mopar 4 speed out of my GTX to fix a bad throw out bearing. And I could NOT lift it back up. I had not heard of transmission jacks and barely had a pair of jack stands. I tried lifting it up with scrap lumber one two by four at a time. for hours. Finally I had to call a shop and have it towed and done by the shop. And that was when I was in my prime.

This 73' charger has potential! Keep at it, I'm looking forward to seeing this thing get on the road!

The timeing needs turned the other direction

I really hope you got all that junk out of the carburetor before you started doing all that.
