- Опубліковано 11 вер 2024
- I'm pretty confident that my #plymouth will make the trip to the No Name Nationals no problem, but its probably a good idea to service a #classic car before you take it on a #roadtrip.
This is part one of two. The second part will be preparing the Jet for the race track. Consider this and the next video an intro to our No Name Nationals coverage.
We're off to Sikeston soon.

When I do Seafoam, I pour it in at idle and dump in the last bit until the engine dies, or turn it off if it doesn't, leave it overnight and then take it for a spirited ride. It'll kill some mosquitos. This gives the seafoam time to really sink into the carbon deposits. For a pcv, you usually want it open on one side and the pcv on the other.
I was around in the 60's,regularlly travelling out of state & i can tell you the technology then was VERY reliable for long distance provided...you do exactly what you're doing, "maintenance." Spares i'd carry along; Fan belts,points,condenser,rotor & distributor cap.Fuel filter.Always carry a fire extinguisher.
My brother owned 1970s Ford smog barges back in the day. I'm talking 1976 Mercury Marquis 4 door land yachts with 400M (puke!) engines, 77 T-birds with 120 hp 302 smog engines...
He would have someone hold the engine at 3500 rpm, and he would pour ATF down the carb.. and I will be damned, but the engines would run better after a plug change.
I love this channel. You guys are entertaining as hell.
Awesome Day. 👍
This car always puts a smile on my face, ever since the first time I saw it back on the shop meetup live. Hope this car gets some cosmetic love over the winter once race season is over. Same goes for Jon's Cadillac.
My plans are to start restoring the interior so it doesn’t look like I let an angry cougar loose in it.
Angry cougar? Are you dating an older woman now?
Wow. Who owns a dwell meter anymore? Nice job.
3.23 gear are the way to go your making it labour . 🇦🇺👍🏻
Leave the oil cap the way MOPAR mad it . It was like that for a reason. If oil is blowing out of your cap Huston we have a problem . Poly motors are good motors an have a great exhaust note I do mine running you need to learn how . It’s old school an it works fine so don’t let them tell you different 🇦🇺👍🏻
Wish I could come see you guys race, but Hurricane Ian has me tied to the house.
We're watching close here in Charleston. Stay safe and God Bless..
@@mauriceholder1386 Thanks.
@@mauriceholder1386 Unfortunatey, it looks like it's headed your way. Take care and stay safe.
@@billsmopars4927 looks like the morning it will be here. Thanks, hope you're all safe and accounted for.
Wow. I never new about that kind of Lucas oil. Learned something today.
Way to go John rocking the Clutch t-shirt!
135mph ought to be less scary with that new tie rod end. 🤣🤣🤣
I would not change the drums from the front to back that is a no no 👍🏻🇦🇺
After rotating the brake drums I also rotated the cylinder heads for even heat distribution wear.
@@DaddysMoneyGarage Don't forget to flip over the seat cushions so both sides wear.
Cool, rare car that I can hear runs great! Nice work!
Grease 'er up, Bobby.
Daaddy’s~ Hi, super sharing-
Y'all should rebuild the old poly engine with a stroker crank and have Jon port the heads. A big cam and a 2x4bbl setup, put the big C body in the 12s.
it is rebuilt and stroked to a 323 thats why it has that decal on the air cleaner.
One thing you may want to consider is not to lean the tires against your car while it is on a jack. If it falls off the Jack the tire will Dent the car.
A big channel lock pliers is good for a stuck jack handle.
Bravo
You have to adjust the brakes quite often when they are drum brakes. I have had many, adjust rear ones so they are slightly dragging all the time.
Community tab? To the mechanical flat tappet with zinc. Hell hydraulic flat tappet are more picky about oil. Good luck 🍀 on your trip
Steel Panther, hell yeah.
They will get over it, correct!
Please change that tierod end. They're cheap and easy to do witha pickle fork.count rotations when you remove it and just screw the new one in as much. You'll be in the stadium, if not the ballpark itself
Love it, hope you kick ass! But then, I hope ALL the channels kick ass, truly a conundrum...hmm
That Fury is cool, sounds good too!!
Its cool to see younger guys do the kind of things you are doing....im 57.....and the younger guys i know dont know this kind of stuff...they started driveing fuel injected cars.....keep it up and pass on the knowledge
Hah I enjoyed this vid guys.. thanks
I would index your plugs so it fires 🔥 between the valves not away . The vacum gauge is a good idea.
I like the I know that it is coming.
Rear tires straight forward and cross the front ones to the rear.
Run the correct oil and amount plus add the Zinc additive.
I had a 1972 For Courier that has left and right hand studs
When using Seafoam we always drive to a gas station on an interstate exit. Dose it, wait, and then 10 or so miles wide open on the interstate 😊
Yeah...this keeps one of your neighbors from calling the fire department to come put out the fire if you do it in the driveway....ask me how I know this to be true....LOL
Holy shit but THAT was a strange day back in the summer of '81.....w0w....that seems like 19 lifetimes ago.....maybe it was....
ROCK ON YOU GUYS!!! KEEP THE PAINTED SIDE UP!!!
Also, cornering wears the outside edges more on the front tires.
IF....IF you have insufficient negative camber to affect this.......I have heard of idiots get their car aligned to have zero camber in front.....this is a TERRIBLE idea as you, essentially. end up cornering on the sidewall of the tire which is a terrible idea.
Slowly getting there.
Two different times a tie rod end gave out when I hit the brakes on my 73 charger and I wouldn’t have exciting stories to tell had I changed them, bad move I say.
Who's Black challenger in the background under the carport?
Question? How do you mow around those little rocks between the landscaping? Do you just move the rocks? You guys Rock!
Maybe pack an extra cap! Good show guys.
You guyzez getting better at this.
You lost menon the cap. Usually the opposite side valve cover from the PCV is open to atmosphere?
Fix that very soon!
Hey Austin, have you ever run your Fury across the scales? Would be really interesting to see what a mid 60’s C body weighs.
Second this. I have a book that lists curb weight for a 65 Sport Fury hardtop at 3715 lbs, but it's actual road weight would be cool to know.
@@Sedan57Chevy Yeah I’m thinking barely past 4000, but can’t remember. Good hot rod material today.
I always use the VR1 high zinc oil. A gallon is like 30$ 😂😂
Delvac/Mobil synthetic diesel has zinc. I think the semiSyn does too. And the car Syn oil I believe as well but not sure think it's a lil less around 800ppm
Not like it used to.
@@DaddysMoneyGarage the car Mobil synthetic has way less or none? The diesel synthetic has was less?
I run a lot of old equipment, been having luck just running synthetic despite internet boogeywoogeyman. Should I run regular diesel oil?
@@davidlobaugh4490 when I used Rotella in the old engine, I would use T4 conventional 10W30 and the zinc additive. I got the car in 2018 and worked parts at the time. Word on the street was that they and all the other brands cut the zinc content around that time due to emissions and the ppm of zinc used to be higher. However, even currently it’s safer to use than just regular oil of course.
Is it so low it would cause problems, probably not.
Is it low enough to trigger my paranoia, yeah. I just use the Lucas stuff.
Who’s black Dodge Challenger underneath the car port?
Money. Daddys Money 💰
Whose Challenger?
Hope you have a good trip,you probably wont reply since I was nice lol...Seriously have a Great Trip!!
I reply to nice comments all the time lol. I just don’t have time for each one unfortunately, although I do read them. Thanks!
@@DaddysMoneyGarage ..I know but I think I rubbed you the wrong way in my other comments(I would be pissed too)Sorry about that....
You can check out C body dry dock for old Fury parts,maybe someone is close to you..Who knows ? It worked for me several years ago..I am always buying old Mopars albeit West Coast, but if I hear of someone in your State I will leave a comment..Take Care,hope you do good at NNN...
Mahle used to be Victor
Ask me and I would gladly give you the answers you seek.
sometimes ford v8's get mad and fire their plugs out at mechanics and shitty gm products!
YOU HAVE TO CHANGE THAT OUTER RIGHT OUTER TIE ROD END- DO NOT CONTINUE DRIVING IT THAT WAY- ITS OLDER THAN YOU AND WANTS TO DIE- THAT'S KARMA RIGHT THERE. FIX IT!
I did fix it lol.
I'm just going to pretend you said flat tap it lifter instead of roller lifter
…I genuinely didn’t catch that lol. I do that all the freakin time and I promise I know the difference lol
Wouldn't it make more sense to Sea foam it before you changed the oil?
Only if it were to leak past the rings. Which it wouldn’t have a chance to. Although a lot of people dump it in the oil and drive it for a couple hundred miles and change it.
However I’m wary about doing that on an engine with solid lifters.
@@DaddysMoneyGarage I have always done the 3 part treatment (gas tank, oil and down the throat), with great results, but you make a good point about solid lifters. Yeah, it might not be a good idea.
I don't know if I would say, "it wouldn't have a chance" to get by the rings. If gas can get in the crank case from priming through the carb too much, I don't see why a stronger solvent (typically less viscosity) like Sea foam couldn't seep through the ring gaps, while sitting for 15 minutes.
Did you put lube on the points rub block ?
Always.
Notwithstanding
Use rotella 15 40,,, much zinc.
Not like it used to. They cut the zinc down a few years ago.
@@DaddysMoneyGarage You scared me so I had to look it up on their site. copy and paste,,,,,,,,, Zinc is an important component in Zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP) which forms a sacrificial anti-wear film in an engine to help protect internal components such as a camshaft. Most Shell Rotella engine oils, including T6 5W-40 Full Synthetic Heavy Duty Diesel Engine Oil, contain approximately 1200 ppm of zinc which will benefit older and high-performance engines.
I have no idea if it used to be higher.
@@1958johndeere620 it is better than other oils, but word is that that 1200ppm number is lower than it used to be due to emissions. Whether it’s true or not, I don’t know for sure, but I play it safe and just use the Lucas stuff because it takes the guesswork out of the equation.
DOODS YOU GUYS FELL FOR THE BULLSHIT MARKETING LIES with the Zink additives. SMH, Valvoline or Chevrons Delo, 15w40 Diesel oil works just fine, I drove My 64 poly for 25 HAARRDD Years on it, after total rebuild and breaking it in on pennzoil which seeped oil until I switched to the Valvoline oil, NEVER did my Stock cam wear out still is a good cam. You only need to adjust the valves when the weather goes from hot to cold and vise versa, as in twice a year. Also Your supposed to hit all the grease fittings on the front end ball joints, and check the rear diff. Oil. Other than that you did a fine job, minus the actually looking at the brake shoes. Happy riding Bud. Stay out of the ditches.
4:16 disc brakes are a lot easier to replace than drum brakes. you just take off the tire and caliper and slide them out. drum brakes have a lot more stupid parts and steps.
