@kevinbrown1368 I know, right?! A survivor for sure. The underneath looks pretty original to us. Definitely was sprayed multiple times.

@ I’ve owned a 64 Comet Caliente with 289V8 4V for 40 years- if I remember correctly, the Comet wagon chassis shares the same shorter wheelbase chassis of the Falcon including the rear doors, quarters etc.

@kevinbrown1368 yep you're right. The wheelbase is shorter than the sedan.

What’s really rare is that your wagon was built in Oakville, which makes it really rare

@kevinbrown1368 Hmmm, that's interesting

I actually didn't notice. I'll have a look the next time i'm in the shop!

@davidzdziarek-zl8cu yep, will likely get at least a 302 at some point

@@davidzdziarek-zl8cu appreciate all the comments!

@davidzdziarek-zl8cu yeah I'm not sure the Falcons had the higher trim levels like the Mercurys do.

@@davidzdziarek-zl8cu I fully agree!

@mikram2613 I'm pretty sure it's a 260

@robostyle9773 much appreciated! We also had a 62 Falcon that I really liked the look of.

@markorr1874 yep, I like your thinking. We do have a 413 for rebuild. Hopefully get to it this fall/winter.

I don't find it particularly ugly at all. I love the 50s era look from any of the big 3 brands.

@@afrosamurai4465 might be something we need to test! Thanks for the comment.

lol Ripp is known junk

@@davidatac9738 th-cam.com/video/Pd6wdMei2ho/w-d-xo.html. Then this dyno test is junk too?🙄

@Nolen_WR Yes, that is a great idea! I appreciate that. I was going to go ahead a change the plug wires out as well

@ronaldolweiler7745 much appreciated! I think those are 26in tires on the rear, so ideally we'd like to go taller to at least a 28in. That will help a bit....or we'll flip the springs in the front!

@@ElevenUpThreeDown Haven't heard from the new owner, unfortunately. If we do, we'll definitely update here.

Much appreciated! I believe the tires were 225/45-17. Couldn't tell you what the wheels were. Just a random set we found on Marketplace. We also used a 1 inch spacer to bring them out some.

Tough to remember from so long ago, but from the video looks like the tires spun.

@@mj41020 that's an excellent point that we did not consider.

@@200shotramhemi4 Appreciated. Thank you.

Agreed. Maybe we didn't give it a fair shake as far as gaps are concerned, but it's money better spent elsewhere.

Technically Canada.....so I guess North 'Merica

I agree. Good numbers for a smog era 460.

Yeah, it just never materialized unfortunately. Ended up with a carbed 302 to get it on the road fast. We will get our Hemi fix with our 63 Dodge D100 project.

Thanks

@@dynomiteperformance aftermarket cold air intakes require a tuning after, not to mention it only increases the HP about 1-1.5% if that.

@@Wilderbliss17 did you watch the video??

@@dynomiteperformance yes I was just reiterating

@@dynomiteperformance did u watch it?

The FPIK one I believe. Whatever the cheapest one was!

Unfortunately we've retired the Ram and are working on a new drag project. Will hopefully update soon.

Yes these are 17x8

@@dynomiteperformance what size tires are you using in those rims ?

Appreciate your time to watch and comment 👍

Thanks for watching!

Glad I could help

I appreciate that. I spent a lot of time figuring it out lol. I'll get the info to you when I get back to the shop.

@@dynomiteperformance The wheel/tire set up can make or break a vehicle. Clearly, you gave it some thought, and perfected both the stance and the wheels and tires!

Sorry for the delay. Fronts are 235/60-R17 and Rears are 275/55-R17.

For this particular test I modified the spark advance at WOT using the modify parameters option menu. It's not as intuitive as hptuners as it only gives you a few rpm ranges to choose from, but works ok for most mild builds.

@@dynomiteperformance so based on what I did what spark advance should I do with Diablo tuner ?

@tommiller2101 if you're running the 93 tune, I would first do some data logging. Do a WOT pull through 2nd to 3rd and check for knock retard. If you don't see any then you can start adjusting timing up 1-2 degrees at a time. Datalogging at each change. At any point you start to see knock, revert back to your last clean run.

@@dynomiteperformance I'll have to research how to do data logging, Lol. thx for the help!

@@tommiller2101 they're your best friend when tuning

You're absolutely right. I suppose the only positive is that it doesn't have to run for very long!

It would be a weapon for sure.

Its a Phoenix Drag slick. 28 tall, 10.5 wide, 17 inch wheel

@@dynomiteperformance just picked up some of those wheels and installed them on my truck yesterday. I figure they are probably a decent weight drop from the 5 spoke steel 17in wheels on factory ST trim trucks.

@@austin_94gt18 I would agree

Close. It's a 41 Dodge Business Coupe. If you check my other videos I've done one on it as well.

Nice!@@dynomiteperformance

I love that this has brought back memories for you! Makes it all worthwhile. I'm very fond of the 62 styling. Would take another go at one if the opportunity presented itself. Thanks for the comment.

I'd like another one too but mine was 13 years old when I had it. It was low miles as I recall, under 70 thousand miles. I was 27 then, and as Pink Floyd "sort of said" on the "Darkside of the Moon" album, 'suddenly 48 years have gotten behind me". I'm 75 now. Mine had no rust and the hardware on the undercarriage all would have worked. You'll need some work getting yours squared away even though it looks darned good on the shiny side. I do wish you luck with it and I love the wheels & your enthusiasm! You can now say what I liked to say, "Where were you in 62?" @@dynomiteperformance The Amelas One

Thanks! It was a blast.

Yep, out of the box that's what you can expect. Another person suggested that we should have tested different plug gaps or hotter/colder plugs for a thorough test

@@dynomiteperformance Aaaand you can expect it to be a complete wash between change in spark gap and the two sets of coils. That 5HP could simply be from putting fresh plugs in.

Yes you could be completely right. We have the coils in our Ram50 project now, so we'll have to test before and after new plugs

Who cares if it’s only 5hp every little bit of hp counts. I bought 2 box’s of these. I still have a box for sale for the low low so dm if you want a deal on a brand new set I’ll try to look out for you or trades. I have a 06 srt8. I have a lot of brand new carbon fiber also. Hood, wind splitter, rear diffuser , rear license plate frame. I have drilled a slotted rotors, brakes, a intune3 Diablo tuner . Hmu

I believe it was a stock frame

@@dynomiteperformance damn I Own a Pinto wagon got it sitting on a 84 Bronco II frame I’ve been building for drag. Have a 460 I’ve been wanting to use but was told it would bend the frame

That's a sweet car! Unfortunately the software that we have is not compatible with Toyota.

@@dynomiteperformance can you suggest me any other tuner sir, in gta or near gta.

sorry i'm not familiar with any of the dyno shops in the GTA

Beefy!

5.7 hemi

@@dynomiteperformance wow even more impressive

I'm sure that might be true for some engines, but the hemi responds well to aftermarket intakes.

The D0VE heads (pre smog) are pretty good for a stock application, but no comparison to the aftermarket. There's just something about big block NA power!

​@@dynomiteperformance Yep....the stock exhaust ports are just awful, along with monster sized oval intake ports A set of OEM Explorer 5.0 GT40 heads flow the same on the exhaust as stock 460 heads!

Thanks for the comment. Good luck with your build!

Thanks. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but it's always nice to be able to add some proof!

Thank you for the comment! Hopefully you feel and hear a difference.

And probably a fraction of the price of a Power Wagon 😁

Yeah but you have to consider the history of the power wagon and its suspension upgrades and lift as well as better cam and crank and heads. I'm not knocking what you're saying or even disagree. Just saying you can't just compare power and not look at everything else too. Just curious.....why do you start the pulls in 3rd gear on the dyno? I am unfamiliar with dynos and just wanted to understand the reason behind it.

Thanks a lot! I really appreciate the kind words.

Keep in mind that's 300hp to the wheels. The factory hp numbers are at the crank. Driveline losses in the range of 20-25% are normal.
