Around 50 years ago (!) a friend had oiling issues with a 383 Magnum in his Super Bee. He and I pulled the pan and discovered that the oil pickup was badly cracked. Went to the dealer and got a new one - or tried to. The “Magnum” pickup was different, we tried to explain. “Nope - this’ll fit any 383” the parts guy explained. Yeah - he was wrong. We had to bring the old one in and place it alongside the one he had sold us to prove our point. So he reluctantly opened the parts book and whaddaya know. A 15 year old and an 18 year old knew a thing or two.
Ther`s an old guy around here that has a 1970 Cuda, 383 Magnum, 4 spd, that is the most awesome metallic green. Black interior with buckets and console, factory mags. Perfect condition. I have only seen it once when he was at the market getting gas. I know this guy, he`s a lot older and I believe that he is a Nam vet who bought the car new when he got back Stateside. He lives in small house with a barely one car garage behind it. In all my years, I have only seen it once in my very small town. I think he keeps it hidden, but he also keeps it sparkling like new. A friend`s little brother has a 70 AAR Cuda that is green too, about the same shade as that GTX. His is a perfectly restored car too, both of the brothers are classic Mopar collectors and have huge garage right in town that used to be a movie theater back in the 50`s.
That happened to me on the very first car engine I built 48 years ago…a 383 Mopar for my ‘71 Roadrunner…wrong pickup in a 402 pan…about an inch off the floor of the pan. That motor lasted maybe 200-300 miles before I went over a set of RR tracks and it sucked air…goodbye number 6 rod bearing. Start over again….learned to measure the second time and every time after…also taught it to my engine class students.
@@DeadDodgeGarage brakes.. nice green... anyhoo. brakes.. 73 challenger 340 r/t. i fitted polara drums, 12''.?. plus i bought a kesley hayse disc set for the front.. so, looks like im gona die. when i get it back.. sat in shed for 12 yrs. couldnt reg here in aus as it was the WRONG COLOR. ??..cars imported had to be 100%... 100%... original.. give me a fkn break.. laws have changed now, hence, waiting far it.. lectrics not good.. only 2 yrs.....aus....... i need a 5sp.. has a 904 trans.. wrong..
I always wondered why this conservative green was so popular on 69 and earlier Mopar muscle cars. I came to the conclusion that part of the deal for the guy could get the car he wanted, was to let his wife pick the colour. Green cars also seem to have a greater likelihood of having power brakes, steering and an automatic transmission. 69 was a high water mark for the GTX styling, and this one is beautiful.
My 1st car was a dark green '70 Challenger - guess I still have a soft spot for it 'cause I also think that GTX is a great car. Your level of expertise is impressive.
I had a 69 Fury 4 door with a 318 in that color, the Jolly Green Giant was an absolute blast to drive, handled better than expected, maybe the best $125 car ever!
I love the green, I had a 71 Swinger Green on green on green. I would love a 68 to 70 Charger in green with preferably a black vinyl top. This is a great car, thanks for the video
Yeah Brother, my '69 Road Runner was built with the F8 color code. When it was repainted many years ago by the previous owner they changed it to a cross between F6 and Rally Green Metallic. Where ever I take it, this particular shade of green gets 'thumbs up' and compliments. Keep the cool vids coming - very good and helpful. Thanks!
Great tech. I use a 1/4 inch or 3/8 inch drill bit taped across the pickup. Put a small dab of grease on the drill bit and hold the oil pan in place with the gasket. You should get a small kiss of grease on the pan. If the clearance is not right i heat the pick up tube with a torch and "adjust" it.
Had one with same interior and exterior colors with black vinyl top. Car ran perfect, just like a stock 440 GTX should. Got an offer I couldn’t refuse and sold it 10 years ago. Now I have to enjoy my 69 Charger R/T 440 4 speed…
No sweat on the steering wheel... you're on the right side of the road so you're steering slightly left against the crown of the road. On a clear road hit the opposite lane for a minute and if the tilt of the wheel is exactly opposite then you're right on. I like the green... my first "real" car was a '70 Fury about that shade, with a darker roof. Fun times. Shiny side up, fun hangin' out. Cheers.
Yep! They were optional, and came with 10” rear drums. Standard on R/T were non-adjustable, HD 11” drums front and rear. Different setup than the singles that have been retrofit on this car of course. Much harder to find parts for these days.
Good job diagnosing the problem before it became a "post mortem' issue! I kinda like the green, it was a fairly common color back then. Back when us teenagers called the GTX a "Git-Ex". Hey. if GTO's were 'goats' what's wrong with a Git-Ex?
The green is so great because of the memories of 1985, and my first ride in a muscle car…a dark green 1968 R/T Charger four speed and the mind blowing acceleration …it was instant admiration for vintage Mopar power.
I'm 60 year old Mopar lover. Ditch all factory oil pans on them old engines!! Always use an front crank oil slinger and a windage tray. Also use a Moroso 8 qt deep sump pan with high volume oil pump. Go bear the snot out out it after that. Have fun! 👍
We build factory cars with factory parts. I sincerely doubt you will ever see a car with a Moroso pan roll out of the resto shop. Now, on our go fast projects? That could be a different story.
Nice clip sir. I didn't check my clearance on a 360 build. Oil pressure dropped around corners and although embarrassing to say, the truth of the matter was, there was over 2" of clearance. I pulled the sump and found a few issues. It saved a good motor. You had a sunny day! Is that not rare!? Have fun!
Ok so I love the green gtx’s Friend across the street had a 68 (best looking) 440 ,4sp, Dana 3:54 sure grip Green upholstery green paint D5 and green vinyl roof Loved that car almost as much as my turbine bronze metallic 68 barracuda notch back 😍
i built my 440 for my 67 charger a few weeks ago, and wanting to check this same measurement went rooting thru my toolbox (which used to be my dads' toolbox). i found some crayola modeling clay in the bottom drawer that i remember being there since i was a small child. and i was never allowed to play with it cause it was for something! anyways, 25 years later i got to take some of the modeling clay out of the package and use it to check pickup to pan bottom clearance...which i'm assuming is the same reason my dad had it in there in the first place. a true full circle moment!
I am a green guy and after my older Imac has become obsolete so I got myself a slightly younger one- with an hd display, now! So I am (for the first time) able to see the goodness in all its glory. That newer 27" display is so crisp I could pull Your nose hair ;) Did I mention I like green cars?
When I install my pickup tubes I use some Play-Doh on the pickup tube then bolt the pan down take the pan off and measure the thickness that the clay has compressed very simple and very accurate
The mufflers sound perfect. Not too loud, not too quiet. About the color green. I used to despise green. I dont know why. Perhaps im aging but I like some shades of green. Not all of them. Thank you Jamie!
It's so hard to be green 😁. You're so right abut the oil pickup height. That was always one of the critical steps when I rebuilt a motor. Mind you, I used to use some plasticine on the bottom of the pan and then put the oil pan back on to see how much space was between the bottom of the pickup and the pan 😂. Never seemed to have a tape measure around.
We Need knowledge like yours here in Germany. 👌🏽 I would make a 4 das roadtrip for you Tod Go through my 69 Roadrunner. Keep Up the good work and thank you again for helping me out on my electrical issues
Really good info on the oil pan. And really nice car too. And by the way, I did see my Doctor many times, I'm not sure he's gotten rid of it yet. Haha.
Green is actually a great color, all shades of it , i been seeing more and more green cars at car meets, not just mopars, all manufacturers. I painted my 66 belvedere f8 green had it darken up 3 shades darker. Looks black until your right on top of it , hadn't had a bad comment on the color yet
I'm with you on '68/69 vs '70, with the '68 Runner winning out on the stripper aesthetic and the '69 GTX for the full glitz model for me. Don't mind the green as much as I miss the red rocker pinstripe. Carry on!
Another great video! I really enjoy all your video's. Please keep up all the good work! Just thought I would let you know. Have had a few nice Mopar's in the past. Watching your video's makes me want to look for another after all these years!
Great save! The OCD in me cringed at the upside down Plymouth emblem on the steering wheel. Seems more GREEN Mopars were saved (or more likely built) in mid sixty's than any other color. Love Green! 💚 😊
I do love the green paint. Although I think it would look better with a black interior. And it would be perfect as a B-5 '67 GTX. either way, it sure beats anything I own. 😊
A buddy of mine had a 1969 Charger, dark green with the white trunk stripes and oh man was it sharp, that light green isnt nearly as pretty but thats still a really cool car!
Color reminds of the 1st 72 Chevelle i acquired in trade for my 1st car 55 2dr 150 post which i shoe horned a dirt track rolled 348 into. So yeah, have an affection for this particular green... it's different and should i say more sophisticated? ha, thanks for the video!
For what ever reason mopar put out tons of forest green cars. Must have been that era of shag carpet and so on.😂 after seeling this it makes me wonder things. I have a hard time getting the dip stick in the coronet 500. Oh its raining again. Is this the new gray harbor? 😂 donny is here because your here 😂 i am here because and will leave it at that son. Your almost better than the factory one i built 😂 but your both stubborn kids and love ya both. But remember. Some day you will be a real mechanic or manic or both. 😂❤ your dad called me from heaven and told me to tell you your a good man, good husband and great dad, then said see ya soon😮 click. It was collect😂
How can you not love a 60’s GTX. They could paint it polka dot and I’d still love it…..isn’t money green? If your friend ever decides to become a monk, I’ll take a ride from Massachusetts to GTX Washington to pick it up!!
Jamie, a 440Source repro 6 qt ("7qt" 564 last 3 of the part number) pan and the stock pan (in my case, one stamped "899") that came off of it are actually the same depth - the larger pan gets additional capacity by having a bigger sump horizontally. That means the same pickup works on either pan. Reminds me - my new pan leaks like a seive - damn cork and me re-tightening too often - so I'm going to swap it and the metal windage pan with one of those all-in-one jobbers too. Then the fun begins again with those %$^%$ valve covers. - Ed on the Ridge
Agree on that valve cover cork if I have too. Recently refreshed my 89 ,318 being cautious not to destroy or disturb the original composite factory oil pan gasket. I only replaced the rubber gasket ends. With some permatex in the corners ,( RIGHT STUFF) Not one leak so far 3 months later. 👍👍
I always thought the air grabbers or any kind of scoops back in the day were more of a gimmick than anything. At least they always looked pretty cool, partial to the superbee scoops myself 👍
I've never had one, but I've always liked this body style Plymouth. The greens they used back then looked good because they were metallic. Ford had a nice metallic green back in the 70s. It looks good on the cars of that era, but I don't think it'd look right on today's cars.
I think? I've heard of using a bit of modeling clay in the bottom of the pan during assembly to check how the pick-up is resting in the pan? Also that green is pure class
I'm not usually a fan of plastics under the hood, but it sure would save alot of guesswork and wrenching if stuff like oil pans, valve covers, timing covers, etc were either clear or had a window.
Not a green car guy either, but I wouldn’t kick that GTX out of the garage. Prefer the GTX over the Roadrunner as well, but again, I’d take either one no problem. Even a green one. Nice “The Jerk” nod at the end. Think there’s a Dart Swinger in the repair shop during the “He hates these cans!” scene. It’s been a while, though.

I'm glad he brought this car to you guys. Great job spotting the issue. Green is ok with me. I love any GTX 66-70. But I agree on 68.

Awesome information and advice! Well done showing the differences!👍
Sweet ride. I have had no problems running 11" rear drums and late 70s front disc brakes.
So no rear lockup before front brakes? Because that’s always what happens. They work awesome, until a panic stop.

Well, alright 😅
Looks pretty close to F8 Green, awesome color if you have enough metallic in it.
I did misspeak in the video, the color code on the tag is F5. I agree that it looks like the darker shade.

I’m not sure if we’re talking about the same pan either, because as I showed in the video, this one is definitely also deeper.
I dislike cork gaskets mostly on oil pans and on the China wall on intake manifolds. Enjoyed watching 👍
Agreed! On small blocks we’re kind of stuck with the cork. And I use them for valve covers because they’re kind of the least bad.
Agree on that valve cover cork if I have too. Recently refreshed my 89 ,318 being cautious not to destroy or disturb the original composite factory oil pan gasket. I only replaced the rubber gasket ends. With some permatex in the corners ,( RIGHT STUFF) Not one leak so far 3 months later. 👍👍
Love the green, my 68 rr was dark forest green... eons ago how depressing
I always thought the air grabbers or any kind of scoops back in the day were more of a gimmick than anything. At least they always looked pretty cool, partial to the superbee scoops myself 👍
Oh yeah. I love the dual scoops. They’re my favorite, useless or otherwise. Haha.
I've never had one, but I've always liked this body style Plymouth. The greens they used back then looked good because they were metallic. Ford had a nice metallic green back in the 70s. It looks good on the cars of that era, but I don't think it'd look right on today's cars.
I'm digging the green
Dang it, got distracted and missed the like i was waiting for.
That will happen… I guess you’ll just have to hang out until 727 now. Haha.
I think? I've heard of using a bit of modeling clay in the bottom of the pan during assembly to check how the pick-up is resting in the pan? Also that green is pure class
Absolutely! Great technique.
Yeah seems I remember more green Mopars back in the day than any other color.
That green is soooo 1969. I was twelve and I remember.
Awesome work.
I'm not usually a fan of plastics under the hood, but it sure would save alot of guesswork and wrenching if stuff like oil pans, valve covers, timing covers, etc were either clear or had a window.
I think about that a lot actually. How nice it would be to be able to see in the engine.
Not a green car guy either, but I wouldn’t kick that GTX out of the garage. Prefer the GTX over the Roadrunner as well, but again, I’d take either one no problem. Even a green one.
Nice “The Jerk” nod at the end. Think there’s a Dart Swinger in the repair shop during the “He hates these cans!” scene. It’s been a while, though.
