I love the videos
Thank you lol for listening to my last comment lol
use starting fluid ahahaha just find it cool you saw it man love da vids
also glad to see the magic smoke for the first time in awhile lmao
What about pulling the ramp off, and putting it on a Ford F350 body.. or I dunno talk to Mike Finnegan he's had a few Ramp trucks
Rocco chiero was a custom car builder and hot rod guy. Some of the cars he put together were simply amazing... Last known he was still alive in 2017 and living in chicago.
I need to hunt this guy down!
Rocco passed away in January of 2019
There's a thread about him on Jalopy Journal, one of his kids popped on in 20 and said he passed away in 19.
His kid seemed responsive if you set up a forum account.
Kids probably not the right word
Holding the spark plug wire further away from the plug caused it to have better spark because when you create high resistance (aka making the electricity have to jump an inch) it actually gains energy- aka then has great spark. This is an old hot rodder trick, whenever the engine would flood from fuel, they would pull all the plug wires off and just hang them on the plugs (make it have to jump a large gap before getting to the plug like you did) to allow it to generate greater spark energy and start even with fouled plugs
Did not know that trick!
@@JunkyardDigs me neither Sir
Can confirm, this was one of the 1st tricks I was taught as an apprentice mechanic by an old head. Still my go to on flooded small engines. 👍
Pro tip: You can decarbon a fuel fouling plug and bring it back round on a running motor by "gapping" the boot slightly off for 10-20 seconds on the affected cylinder. The bump in current is no joke. Saved me a few times on the trail with my 2 stroke bikes and sleds.
@@JunkyardDigs The science is a wet plug won't let the coil charge enough to be able to jump a gap. When you unplug the wire and force it to jump there, the coil can saturate enough to fire fully hot and dry out the plug. That's pretty common on motorcycles that don't have a distributor and don't have a gap from the rotor/cap. Kinda odd in your case with this engine.
The thing you saw before you bought plugs was carbon tracking. The path of least resistance on that plug was to run down the carbon and hit the body of the plug instead of jumping to the side electrode.
EDIT: When you said ''I threw in this random Delco'', I thought to myself, "Self, I wonder if he's trying to use shitty ass Champion plugs''. About two seconds later, I had my answer.
Years ago when I was a service manager at a bike shop, I made a FORTUNE fixing ATVs that wouldn't run just by finding a Champion plug and putting in an NGK. I've nevr found out how they can still sell spark plugs when they suck so bad (and not in the good way).
Also supposed to fire oil soaked plugs.
That is an awesome Truck
hello
Good
Nice
Nice
Very good 👍
I love Angus, he's so comical. The 2 of you together are becoming an iconic duo
I don't know about icon but they are very entertaining.😂
Drunk Mook and Kevin are so funny and it's great to see what I'm assuming is a fun evening together just screwing around in the shop. Love the realism of it all.

@@Hawk7886Agreed, it was unnecessary religious gospel that does not belong here on UA-cam. Period.
Mook's carb rebuild is the highlight of this.
Nice job!
That and the "cold starts and hot farts" lol
When she knocked her cup over, what came out didn't look like "water" to me.
Drunk carb rebuilds with Mook should be a thing!
@@CR500R I agree 👍🤷🤣
Intoxicated carb rebuilds is one of the funniest things I've ever seen, what could go wrong really? 🤣
I have some pictures of this rig with some impressive vegetation growing inside when it was parked in Iowa. I remember seeing it and was blown away with how cool it is. So glad it’s being rescued!
You should post them on reddit or something
Thats legit!1
"Buzzed Mook Builds" needs to be a regular segment from this point forward, that was great!
Thank you for bringing Pole Barn Garage on to your channel and recommending him . Since the last video I have binged many hours of his content including the entire Holey Goat playlist. Very underrated channel.
Same here, that was a neat project!
The target practice GTO was cool
Same here!
Same here i saw the work he is putting in to the chevy and stocked its odd how the truck and the other one both have trans issues and only go in reverse i hope kevin isn't getting a trasn curse. :S
Same here!!
Mook's sense of humour sends me every time. How does someone come up with "strange world, lotta smells" on the fly like that
i wasn't ready for the carb rebuild
Nice twitter speak
That's a quote from Michael scott lol
The drunk carb rebuild was the best part of the video 😂 I love how you guys keep it real! I don't usually like super long videos but this is one channel I will watch even if it's over an hour. Keep em comin brother
47:07 I love this bit😂
Mook: *drops cup* "Huh!! Someone dropped her water." *Laughs*
Kevin: *wheezes*
More drunk Mook rebuilds. Pure gold
I’ll watch that again and again!!
I think those carb rebuild kits should come with a mini Mary Poppins now. Something I never knew we needed until now.
Lmao, I agree, more drunken mook
We need the whole carb rebuild unedited in it's entirety
Mooks carb rebuild was absolute gold, had me laughing the whole time. Love it!
yes, priceless !
Kevin, I just wanted to leave a comment to let you know how much I appreciate your content! I've recently inherited a '65 Riviera and all your videos are helping me learn a lot about the car, how everything in it works, and most importantly how to bring it back to life! Incredible stuff, I hope you continue providing content for a long while!
Just gonna say this right now, you've got a ramp truck.. it's a ramp... on a truck... if we don't see something ramping OFF it by the end of the year we're gonna be really disappointed! Great to see you all having fun doing what you love to do. Keep those fingers and toes warm!
I've been begging all the UA-cam mechanics to work from classic car haulers instead of from relatively modern work trucks.
I think what makes these adventures so good is the fact you feel like your sat there laughing with them, the humour is great due to the charector of the people
Does anyone else want to watch a reaction of mook watching herself rebuild half the carb?🤣🤣
Me 😂
Yup
That would be awesome.
Glad to see an old Dodge on the channel! I bought an '87 D150 a few weeks ago and rescued it from it's grave.
I would love to see the Cummins swap. A floor pan replacement how-to is definitely something I would love to see on the channel. This truck is super cool and I would love to see you guys make it your toy hauler.
I hope a Cummins swap doesn't cause too much down time, since I mostly want to see these classics put to practical use, fairly fast.
That dodge would be way cooler with a 5.9 12 valve turbo Cummins.
The Carter thermoquad is a really good carburettor and easy to work on when needed like in your case when the car has been standing still for many years.
Mook is the only person who I know that doesn't change when drunk
I like watching videos of these old ramp trucks being brought back to life. Would be nice to see more of them at the race tracks.
I highly recommend a shocker air hitch or a Gen-Y torsion hitch. One of those will give you a much smoother ride towing and will reduce the chucking you are feeling through the truck. Also that was the best carb rebuild I've ever seen lol
Ok. Watching a rebuild of a carb while enjoying adult beverages and Kevin ripping ass probably makes this the BEST video I’ve ever seen. I’m dying laughing! You guys ROCK!!
I've run into that weird spark thing too like the spark wants a challenge. One temporary response is to put the boots loose on the plugs, coil and, or cap so that the conductors don't quite touch. More permanently, consider resistor wire and/or resistor plugs? also maybe try another ignition module or inductor pickup coil?
It just makes me want to have a drink also
When I was watching Mook rebuild the carb, in my head I was thinking, "Make Daisy Duke proud, young lady." 😂 That was one of Daisy's challenges for the Miss Hazzard County beauty pageant in an episode of Dukes of Hazzard.
hobbs cracks me up. the banter between you 2 proves that you guys are 2 peas in a pod. also its great to see that mook is doing great after her surgery. one more thing.... i couldnt keep my eyes off that ford wagon. that episode was great.
'It still has its cats...'
Comedy gold right there.
Looks like it was used as a touring ramp truck for a NHRA team back in 77
Is this a guess or is there some solid evidence of it?? I would love to know if there is!
This is exactly what the team needs for revivals. Looks like a great video.
I have a '76 Power Wagon and that big ole amp meter wire thingy almost toasted my pickup since it was run through the standard harness where the wiring goes into the cab. So I just bypassed it and I haven't had any issues. Interesting to know it was a consistent issue and not a fluke like I thought it was.
Love the videos man.
Two videos back: wagon with no reverse. This video: truck with no drive. Seeing a theme here. 😄😄
Also:
Kevin: Have you told them about the screaming deal they can get, Mook?
Mook: You can scream. You have free will. You wanna scream, go ahead!
Never stop, you guys. 😁😁
If you’re looking for a transmission for the truck, you’d probably have better luck finding a heavy-duty transmission off a larger application.
A recommendation I’d make regarding a transmission for the 12-Valve Cummins is an Allison 2500PTS or AT545. You’d be able to find those from box trucks or school buses and those transmissions are quite stout for usage. School bus transmissions (due to constant stop-n-go use) have hardened components to hold up to abuse.
The 12-Valve being used in various vehicular applications means there’s a whole bunch of adapter plates to mate it to various transmissions (mainly larger trucks and the heavy duty Dodge Ram pickup trucks) so finding an adapter plate for a transmission would be relatively easy, especially an Allison transmission.
I second what Joesph said.
I third what Joseph said.
They used 727's extensively in school busses. (And literally everything else for that matter.) They are reasonably rubust.
The 727 in the ramp truck is certainly not robust behind the 440 ;)
He wants a stick, an nv4500/5500/5600 would be a bolt-in swap on this truck as that's what they came with factory.
Drunkyard Mook working that carb rebuild was one of the best parts ever.
I have good luck with starting old engines that have set for years by putting 80 90w gear oil in the cylinders. It has worked on engines that had 10 lbs compression. Once the engine starts and warms up the rings come loose and the engines start and run good after.
That's ridiculous. I just see myself in the garage after couple of drinks trying to fix something 😂. Is not fast but is funny. I need a Mook
Oh hell yes Kevin and crew... thought I'd throw it out there that acetone mixed with ATF in a fancy sprayer is the best penetrating lubricant by far and it's super cheap-unstuck a few engines and lots of rusty bolts with it, on the daily. Also another tip: just the tip, and only for a minute: if you buy a compression whistle, they're a neat and useful toy that can be modified with a grease zerk: you fill a cylinder with both valves closed with ATF/acetone mix to the top-screw on compression whistle with a zerk tapped in. Then pump in grease at 10,000+psi from a grease gun. Either the engine gets unstuck or it blows the head gasket. Used a version of that many times with great success, even a rusty Honda bike with no spark plugs outdoors for 10 years
727s are really easy to rebuild so do that and put a a few hundred into it and you got yourself a hauler! You can get some good money for a 440 ramp truck!
I leaned NOTHING about carburetors.. because I was laughing so hard I couldn't see the screen through my tears 🤣🤣
Omg I can't get enough of how fluffy Hobs is
That ac Delco plug is probably an rts xxxx plug meaning it has a resistor in it and the dodge needs higher resistance for proper spark witch explains all your issues. Coil is breaking down due to not being able to unload properly
My dad had a 73 dodge club cab. Sadly he had a heart attack while driving it and passed away. The truck was totaled. Just the sound on that engine cranking brought back a flood of memories. The sound is identical. Most of my auto knowledge came from wrenching on that old truck.
My uncle had a 73 extended cab. Sold it to my mom, and she let her BF put it in her name. First car I ever drove, and he torched it so we couldn't get it back.
They don't make them like that anymore. Love the sound of them, durable as Superman himself, but it takes 18 acres to turn those rigs around.
Man I love how there's something of interest for everyone in these videos. I have not seen a wide front end Allis Chalmers WD-45 since I was a child. My father had one in the early 80's. Thanks for a great video!
Did Mook say "Strange world, lots of smells" that is hilarious. That is t-shirt worthy.
I tapped on this notification so fast. That truck looks like it is pretty solid for its age
As soon as I saw something I said big block I immediately clicked on it
For a Mopar in Iowa... it could've been a lot worse!
@Junkyard Digs don't let it sit by anything! I have good information that it will give everything next to it second hand electrical issues. A greesy one, one legged alcoholic from Canada told me.
@@JunkyardDigs have you ever seen a little red express it has a 360 police interceptor
Looks can be deceiving.
This was a fun video I really enjoyed the commentary between all of you guys.
Kevin getting shocked was hilarious I was laughing so hard I was crying.
I always enjoy watching Mook rebuilding a
Carburator.
Getting zapped in the junk is no fun. (well, it's kind of fun to watch it happen to someone else) And yes, I have actually had this happen to me. 😃
@@greendryerlint isn't there a safer way to test things so that doesn't happen? I wouldn't be able to get zapped like that since I have a stint in my heart
@@jamesbigham9036 There is obviously a safer way, but when you're tired and not paying attention, that's when accidents occur. No harm done to me except a bit of pain and humiliation. I doubt your stent would be a problem. If you have a pacemaker, maybe things would be different. That said, I don't recommend applying voltage to any tender regions.
Thank you for helping Nolan!
I love the sound an old Mopar make when it's starting up. Reminds me of my childhood and my dads 74 Prospector with the 360 in it.
As I recall, the Thermoboxes weren't a problem to rebuild - you just had to check for bowel warping (plastic main body) and I THINK the secondary hangers were real thin and prone to bending. Either way, Mook'll probably need four shots to rebuild one.
I have a '79 Dodge with a 318 that has a Thermoquad I'm about to go through, and I've been doing a ton of research. You're right, bowl warpage was a problem, which can sometimes be helped with some fine grit sandpaper glued to a sheet of glass with rubber cement. Other issues tend to include:
1) The crossover tubes that feed the primary wells tend to come un-epoxied over time.
2) People tend to try to use regular o-rings on the primary wells when they actually require X-rings.
3) People overtorque the air filter housing wingnut, pulling the top of the body away from the bowl and causing vacuum leaks.
If you avoid/fix these problems, apparently they run really well. I'm excited to find out.
@@MichaelDavis-cy4okcan I still buy X-rings?
Its basically the same as a AFB. Super easy to rebuild and tune. Tho I am a Q-jet fan so what do I know? Lol
@@shawnsatterlee6035 Wait, lemme guess - you've got a tray full of jets, secondary metering rods, hangers and bodies, that you grabbed at the junkyards, from 500 Cads, other big-cube motors and any performance-optioned GMs:)
Watching mook half drunk rebuilding a carburetor is hilarious. “Don’t hurt that I can see three of this bolt.” 😂😂😂
'half'
@@callumdonington2227 Being half drunk beats being half sober anytime :)
This whole video was a riot but especially the unhinged lighthearted caro rebuild 🤣🤣
Loved having Moog a part of the video. LOL! Total comic relief. Love you guys. And these beaten down old projects.. ever thing of fixing an import? I wanna help!
Kevin’s impression of what the trailer does to the truck, and Mook’s carb rebuild were hilarious, we definitely want more of Mook rebuilding carburetors half drunk
Kevin.. been watching since the beginning..
Brother you had me in stitches today... you, Mook and Angus are awesome...
Love u guys..

Beautiful truck. The ThemoQuad is a great carburetor, rebuild it. That 727 transmission is pretty much bulletproof too, and as far as automatic transmissions go, they are fairly easy and inexpensive to rebuild.
Mine is stuck in forward gear. I can get neutral by turning the engine off and when in reverse, it is in reverse and forward at the same time. Do you know the cause? Drives fine forwards as 123 are all normal.
17:23 as soon as I knew they were working on a dodge, I knew Dylan McCool was gonna show up somewhere lol
I'm a mopar fanatic with a 76 w200 400 4 speed powerwagon and love thermoquads. Have over 20 of them in the shed. Great carbs in the right hands
@1oldironboomer is it a 4 speed? If so what NP trans do you have? Mine has the NP 445. It took me 6 years to just find parts for mine.
Glad to see it finally getting worked on. Wish my dad would have had the time when it was his.
Yeah, but at least it gave us a great video. Let him know we all appreciate it.
Body looks pretty straight
Fun fact about Chrysler engines, if the distributor is in the front, it's a big block (383, 400, 426, 440, etc.) If it's in the back it's a small block (318, 340, 360).
Drunk carb rebuilding should be an Olympic sport. People would start watching the Olympics again. Comedy gold!
What I have learned with Champion spark plugs over the years of wrenching and trying to get things running is that they will make you chase your tail for problems that don't exist over and over until you finally realize oh wait its a champion plug no wonder. As a kid I had a great mentor for wrenching on things he taught me almost everything I know and he always use to tell me how much he hated Champion spark plugs and back then I didn't really understand what he was talking about but over the years of hands on experience of my own I now understand and have run in to the problem way more than once. Great video Kevin I enjoy all your videos sorry for the rant.
Running or not, it was fun hanging out with You and Mook. Love your videos. Keep up the good work.
Kevin, fellow Iowan, I SO feel your pain with the trailers on the roads in Iowa. Even when I have my hitch carrier on my truck we’re a shaken down the road. Great video as always!
I can’t wait to see that beaut come to Alberta! Steve will be hauling minty classics to my house with it in no time! Cheers from Canada guys!
Regardless of the project or the end result, it's fun watching you guys work. Quite a few good laughs in this one!
All I know is we need more drunk Mook rebuilding carbs. I'm still dying lol
Mook should do her own technical videos. She puts some pretty good humor into it. LMFAO 🤣🤣
Confucius say: "I don't know if it's stopped em, but it hasn't let them go again" 🤣
Drunk Mook made this the best episode ever, just the sheer realism of it all and the reaction to the beer 😂😂😂
The fact that you completed the video yesterday, edited it, and then posted it in about a day is amazing. Also that Holley is way better. So much so, I’m thinking of swapping out my Autolite 2100 on my 68 F250/360 for a Holley 7448. Yes it’s a 2barrel. Love the video and thank you Kevin, Angus, and Mook!
Great patience I would walked away from that roach after hearing that thing gasping to start lol
As ol peg always says, that greasy Ferd is gonna catch second hand Dodge wiring problems. Minty
A UA-cam channel and a ramp truck. They seem to go together like peanut butter and jelly.
With a 12 Valve Cummins swap in the works.
You're my favourite youtuber. I discovered you in 2020 while the pandemic, and your videos helped me get through isolation! Now when I see you uploeaded a new one I wait until the night to watch it comfortably on my room eating or drinking something.
Pandemic? When did that happen?
@@dougfisher1813 are u from mars or something?
I love Mook doing "Drunk History" of Holley carbs.
46:04 the way mook lifted up her side like that she's the one that rooted for sure ....love ya mookster!!! And she looked rite at the camera ......lmfao
*A big block Dodge D series now that's a mopar truck!!* 😂🤣
When you mentioned 12 valve cummins swap, I got excited. Be sweet with also dual 4in stacks out the side in front of the bed
In my experience. When you pull a sparkplug wire off and the spark picks up with a small gap. You have a bad plug wire. I grew up working in my uncle's auto shop. He showed me that trick, if the miss goes away when you pull the wire with a small gap, you need a sparkplug wire.
I would love to come hang out with you guys sometime, Im in Cedar Rapids. Never quit, love everything you do!
Hope you have better luck with your hodge podge dodge than I've had with mine. Love all the cats too!!
I just suggested that he compare notes with you on your truck.😂😂
That truck sure has sucked for you. I've been watching all the struggles. l
I was just thinking that myself😂 between what you and Kevin have maybe you can make one good truck?
Man that club cab you were working on was such a parts bin special. Hats off to you sir for your patience.
Yes more JYD and more Angus!!!! This is exactly what I needed
Not enough Angus.
“Strange world, lotta smells” is now my favorite Mookism
Mook is a fkn riot! Man you are lucky to find someone like her brother 43:25
"Thermoquad, the only carburetor that punishes you for going full throttle", homeless Dave
Also, can't wait to get to the Mook carb rebuild part, sounds like fun
I would love to see a workshop series of you fixing the trans! 100% would watch/recommend
Kevin should start his episodes with THAT noise. Instant laughter!
I am so sorry! I laughed my ass off when you got sparkleated! Love you guys, miss the mid-west.
I remember way back in to “60”s they used to sell plug wire spacers to increase the gap between the plug wire end and the plug to increase the spark. I also recall having to hold the wire away from the cap to get the dead cylinder to come in!
Just like zip ties and bies plys said 😂 second hand dodge wiring problems, but awesome tow rig you got. Love the content 😊
Wow, an old ramp truck that's NOT a Chevy?!? Awesome!
Your best most used revival has got to be that damn yard cart lol
That is definitely a 78 without any mods to dash or fenders grill etc that I saw. You have a complete truck there. Also note not very common on dodge pickups is the lights under the radio in the dash one is labeled fuel pacer I can’t remember what the others are labeled but most pickups didn’t have those lights. Pretty cool.
Kevin, I'm litteraly working on the same truck, Right now. 1979 dodge custom 300
That's what I was thinking that grill is 78/79.
Mook's resting stance @11:48 is perfection itself. You need to do a t shirt with that on lol
watching mook do carb rebuilds can be it's own episode honestly. super funny commentary
Im so glad I found your channel by chance I am now subscribed to you and mook love both the channels big love from London UK
Mook you are technically awesome. Your charm and talent transcend alcohol. I hope Kevin realizes that without you adding so much to the channel he would have 39 views instead of 39,000. Thank you for being a wonderful part of this already amazing Channel.
I had a 77 w200, i got rid of that junk dodge ignition system and switched to a chevy HEI. The truck ran awesome after that
