Just in case any young people are wondering what that annoying beep is - it's from a pre-recorded tape that was to played in conjunction with a slide projector. Everyone would sit in a dark room and look the slides on a movie projector screen - play the tape & then someone would have to manually change to the next slide picture every time the beep was heard. I really dig these old master tech videos. probably because I'm old too. This one was my favorite to date & I've seen more than a few. I know that sounds stupid to explain but some young people today don't even know how to dial a rotary phone. My God! Am I that friggin' old already?
Thanks for the history tidbit. I remember those beeps in elementary school when we watched movies in class. I also remember when we used the Reel to Reel system and teachers would have to fix the Reel periodically when it ran off the Rollers. Remember also the countdown before the movie started........ 5, 4, 3, 2, 1........... BLASTOFF !!!!!!!!
Cars back than had a personality, corisma, and an identity. Cars today with all their conveniences and computers have nothing. Fifty years from now no one will even remember them, unlike the cars from yester year.
Yes I Can! And I'm mopar All the way. I worked for the largest Dodge dealer in the tri state region and thier butterscotch Daytona sat out front for 3 winters. It got moved around of course but I remember once just being able to see the wing!!! Easy to find in a blizzard!!!
Seriously, this is crazy that they are even discussing this. My how times have changed. Jesus Christ, take me back. Well, as long as I'm not drafted into the Vietnam police action.
I bet dealerships could make a name for themselves back then if they had guys really who knew how to tune those new performance cars for absolute peak power and throttle response, especially on the 440 + 6's. I know there's a big difference in a 6-pak that set-up good and one that set-up perfect.
I wish it was the 60s all over again, and that I had a boat load of money. I'd buy all kinds of mopars. I can't do it today, unless someone actually bought one (a valiant 273 w/4 speed and a hemi Charger with 4 speed), back then and didn't mess with anything.
Kinda left out the 392 with two AFBs ..lol..didn't have time he says..hey ask about the formula S Barracuda I had one 273 four barrel four speed with 10.25 compression..it got 24 mpg..they don't know how to build one nowadays
The Dodge Brothers not only showed Henry Ford how to build a car, they actually built Fords for Henry Ford in the beginning. They built cars for a number of what would eventually be the big auto makers. And...Dodge has ALWAYS been the performance car to beat from before the time the company was formed. Dodge has always meant performance.
ALL I'll say is.......... Go into your Dealership and try that *TODAY!!!!!* 😱😱😱😵😵😭😬😒😦 "Hey, that customer paid a Premium for his ($3200!!!!!) Road Runner. He expects more." GAWD!!!! If only I was born just ONE decade earlier.....
Best thing ever done was getting rid of carburetors, EFI, changed everything....modern cars are so much better than these crude messes where. mechanical nightmares
Yeah but they were way easier to work on & maintain them . 3 winters ago where I live in rural Wisconsin it was - 20 below & my new Chevrolet Silverado truck wouldn't start when I was going to go to a buddies now to work on a 69 Plymouth road runner we were building & what truck did I have that did start that morning ? My 82 Chevrolet K10 that started that morning that I use mainly to plow my driveway with but once spring summer comes back I take the plow off & take the truck out at times just to drive it because it's something different. I get people who give me the thumbs up in my 82 and nobody gives a rats ass about the new truck lol . The battery that's in the new truck is small and it froze from the cold temperatures and it could hardly turn the engine over a brand new battery & on this truck there's limited room where the battery box is so you can't put a physically larger battery in it . On my 82 Chevrolet K10 that has a nice big battery box so I'm able to put a bigger battery that has much more CCA in it so it can crank the 400 sbc that is in it . The newer cars trucks also have control modules for everything on them that can & do go bad besides the computer and the mass wiring and crappy small wires used to bring power & grounds to everything is junk as well . These wires can look perfect on the outside with no cracked insulation but the wire used inside can break causing wires to loose power or grounds which causes all kinds of problems. If you do a continuity check and find a open wire you have no way knowing where the break in the wire is so most times you end up replacing the whole wire but recently Autell power probe is making a accessory for the power probe 3 that can trace wires that look perfect on the outside but tested to be open with a break in the wire it can trace the wire & pin point where exactly the break in the wire is now so you can cut that section of wire out & solder & shrink tube a new section of wire in its spot. New cars trucks are nice until they fail and they do fail a lot but it's the cost of having them fixed by guys like me that costs a fortune & some times depending on how bad of shape & the mileage is on these newer cars trucks it's not cost effective to even try to fix them anymore because they all now are throw away junk made to fail on purpose usually starting just before the factory warranty is up or at times right after the warranty is up and then you the buyer gets shafted by the manufacturer.
@@peteloomis8456 I've had cars in every decade starting in the 60's they where all junk in the 60's 70's 80's 90's compared to stuff in the last 15 years or so, EFI and GDI injection imporved everything, new cars have better brakes, fuel efficiency, I have driven at least 1.5 million miles, and my last 17 VW's since once I went VW in 1987, I never left, since all GM and Chrysler stuff was abysmal. Each decde VW got better and better. Current 2019 Golf R stick of course is the best one yet..I drive a lot, 316,000 miles of run reliable, never failed to get me where I needed to be, or fail to start in any weather Jetta VR6, majority stick of course., last 10 all stick, even the audis all stick, which is no longer available, only auto. Newer stuff is far superior over anything I eve had in the 1980's i probably had 10 vehicles in teh 1980's all high miles, GM and Ford was junk personified, I switch ed VW, never left, far superior designs, use of space, efficiency, reliability, comfort, handling and performance. 8's GM clogged cat converters, dashbords going out, brakes lasting only 20K miles, water leaks....all just nonsense junk products, and horrible fit and finish, lousy seats, poor handling. VW was far superior, from their cheapest model at the time, to current Golf R stick of course which is not cheap by any means, it's far superior, super quick, handles like on rails, super control and comfort.
awesome video thanks for sharing

Grand Spaulding knew what to do......didn't sell lip service and cars from his dealership command a premium now at any high dollar auction....FACT
Yep, grew up in Roselle Illinois and knew the dealership well🐶🐶🐶 Mr Norm.
Cars back than had a personality, corisma, and an identity. Cars today with all their conveniences and computers have nothing. Fifty years from now no one will even remember them, unlike the cars from yester year.
Agreed. Cars today have no soul.
I went to the Dodge dealer...they had none of these parts...didn't even know what points were !
LOL!!!
You mean today or 50+ years ago ?
Love these videos, keep it going!
Can you imagine... they actually had a hard time selling the super bird... smh...
There was a brand new superbird on the east coast that hadn't been sold into the 90's article was in mopar action I believe.
@@Moparmaga-1 Can you repeat what you wrote, and take your time. It doesn't read well. I am interested in what you're trying to say, though.

. Sure would want Terry to tune my dual quad hemi Cuda.
I heard they took off wing and frontend to resell it as a charger..

Tech always sounded like he was a pack a day man .
Wasn't everyone
Hahaha..... Just like Elvis' bodyguard "Red" who went by the same name when he portrayed the Chief Warbird Mechanic on the set of Bah Bah Black Sheep.
This was the days of good service from the dealerships not like today they rather blow you off then keep you satisfied.

Mr Norm in Chicago did it.

Love them old Mopar Muscle!!!!!!!!

Think any flat rate tech ever torqued a spark plug?
Actually there one tech where I'm at that I seen do that
I started laughing, and I haven't seen him do it since
There's always that one guy
spark plug wires, another nightmare, now coils right on the plugs, distributors points, are horrible....these things where like the rotary phone
The best of times.
Emission controls? Fat chance…. Nothing like 3 x 2 bbl carbs. It was quite a look.
Tech drinks coffee made with gasoline and smokes Camel unfiltered.
Schlitz and Chesterfields.
Lmao. I attended many slide show tech sessions. Everybody had something to say about tech's voice.
Just like a real man

Performance is the name of the game.
old school for the old cars !!!! awesome
Kinda left out the 392 with two AFBs ..lol..didn't have time he says..hey ask about the formula S Barracuda I had one 273 four barrel four speed with 10.25 compression..it got 24 mpg..they don't know how to build one nowadays
Ah yes, slide #47 at 11:48... "Improved Breathing"... got a chuckle out of that one.
Little did they realize how short this market would last
Mopar or No car !
The first OPEC Oil Embargo started the death of the American Musclecar.
Assembly line operations do not lend themselves to precision tuning? Did he really say that? That's hilarious!
At least he's honest. lol
Dodge originators of performance and still is.
Big Bill O'Reilly wrong. Dodge is definitely on top right now.....
The Dodge Brothers not only showed Henry Ford how to build a car, they actually built Fords for Henry Ford in the beginning. They built cars for a number of what would eventually be the big auto makers. And...Dodge has ALWAYS been the performance car to beat from before the time the company was formed.

Engineering yes, styling had to play catch up.
awesome video
I would love to have a Fulie Vette GM had great service manuals to make them run right ..
How long did Tech have theese shows...he doesn't age a bit! Lol
Improved breathing.... love that!
Now I have the urge to soup up a 340.
ALL I'll say is..........
Go into your Dealership and try that *TODAY!!!!!* 😱😱😱😵😵😭😬😒😦
"Hey, that customer paid a Premium for his ($3200!!!!!) Road Runner. He expects more."

That's not even a good down payment now.
what is a record?? ha
