    Hey guys just a reminder, Luke and I both work full time jobs and a video takes a minimum of 20 hours to edit and upload, so thats why each episode is exactly 2 weeks apart. Enjoy😎🤘

    Just an FYI - mopars run the starter on the driver's side due to the offset of the engine to the passenger side - engineers believed there was more room on the driver's side because of this - also remember you're working on a column shift manual car which was actually relatively uncommon - most column manual cars were slant 6 engines with WAY more room.
    Glad to see the old gal light off - glad you explained that timing trick for some of the viewers - -

    Something worth remembering too is that an old or worn starter will pull the battery voltage down low enough so that the ballast resistor which normally drops 13.8 to 8 ish volts with good current to 10 or less volts to nothing when cranking hence No Spark.
    I ALWAYS hotwire both the ignition and start to the battery when im playing with unknown quantity cars or you just end up chasing ghosts.

    Look before trying to revive a muscle car. Make a check list of things you need and go buy them. Replace the items that should be replaced. Drain the old oil and take the valve covers off. Reset valves. Pour oil over them. Change oil filter. Fill oil with the right grade and weight. Drain anti freeze replace thermostat. Plugs, Plug wires, pump out old gas, replace with fresh gas, replace fuel filter. Check trans fluid and put the right fluid in it to the right level. Buy new battery to have the power to start the engine. When your ready to try. Rebuild carb. Because these old carb's are full of crap. The gaskets and floats are shot. New cap and rotor and points or file the old ones. Check the rearend fluid and change with right rear gear oil. Last if the engine is good and running then check and replace brake pads rotor and drums. Don't take the chance that a master cylinder is bad and trash a good old muscle car because your cheap or lazy. If this car is a good candidate to be brought back to life. Check it over before even trying to revive or it's worth the time or money. If you can't afford to bring it back to life. Sell it to someone who can. Sooner or later these relics will run out. We should try and save a car era that means so much to the Baby Boomers. Shawn

    Love watching this video. Had a 1970 Belvidere back in the day. Could always buy cheap parts at junkyards and get it up and running. That 318 was bulletproof and light. Up north, the rust ate these unibody cars up fast. When working on the brakes, we jacked the front up then had to wait an hour before the doors lined up to close em, lol. Loved that car and got many offers for it even in rough condition.

  • @mikeobrien3744
    @mikeobrien3744 5 років тому

    Single ballast mopars don't power the coil while cranking. Put a jumper relay on the starter relay to provide power to the ballast resistor when the starter relay is energized. It makes them start a lot faster. Also, the distributor is keyed, not geared, so you can pull it out to set the points. It will eiher be right, or 180 off when you put it back. Cheers!
