Brian, nothing like those old engines that never heard of a computer! They have life beyond any modern engine. Simple to work on and simple to resurrect. Love this video!
@@phlodel LOL, I challenge you guys to do what you just saw in this video with an EFI... and get it running the same day, with no new parts but only a new fuel filter... Then say again that carbs suck.
@@BKD70 we never had problems with carburetors when we were clueless kids. Granted they will not give you as good of a mixture as a modern fuel injection system. If something did go wrong with our old beat up cars we could usually fix it easily and not spend more than $20. Any decaant mechanic should be able to get a internal combustion engine running smoothly with out much trouble. Things sure have changed and I am not talking about technology, onfutionatly!
Here we had truck removed from a Kentucky long term storage lot and brought back to life by rebuilding the carburetor in a state of the art Kentucky carburetor shop by an engineer......I love this channel!
Sounds good, but new plugs would sure help. Great high school memories in that truck. My high school 'car' was a '50 Plymouth wagon 6 cylinder with three on the tree. Great resurrection, thanks for sharing.
Working on on the carburetor while on fire...what not to love..awesome!! A modern vehicle sitting 20 year under those conditions would be scrap metal...cant beat old technology and heavy iron....
Can't say I've ever seen somebody work on a carb while it was still on fire; remember that any machine can be a smoke machine, if you use it wrong enough
Fire isnt a big deal. Gasoline burning is safer than gasoline not burning and being near sparks. Vapours build up and then boom. If it is burning all of the vapours are being used up :)
Yes, now you look under the hood of a typical pickup and there is so many hoses, wires, sensors, ECM, and God knows what else they put in there now, you can't actually see the motor to work on it.
Brian, Like that you were able to get you Dodge truck of a 20+ year rest to run again and amazed the tires still had air in them, thanks for sharing your video.!.!.!.
I'm a big big fan of the old Dodge Pickup trucks my grandfather had one with a slant six in it and I learned to drive in that truck out on the farm it was a 3 speed on the tree and it was a fun truck
Farmer mechanicing right here. Love it! Exactly what me and my brother do to all our junk. Wonder if it would be worth it to go ahead with a new carb and upgrade the ignition? Nothing fancy just reliable.
Great video! I drive a rusty 53' chevy sedan almost daily, and there have been a couple times I rebuilt the rochester single barrel carb right on the side of the road. It was cheaper and quicker than calling a tow truck.
Bran Gas Diesel it makes no difference if you put it together, IT WILL RUN. Got lots of faith in you brother. Thanks for the video. brings back a lot of old wonderful memories of working under an oak tree with parts scattered every where. You are living the dream my friend. Baily is looking pretty good. Keep up the vids, LOVE THEM.
Well done Brian. Determination goes along way. Those ole 318 Poly heads were tough. Hard to beat an ole Dodge. Thanks for the content, kinda funny. Glad It runs. Thanks Brian.
Boy, along with many other of your viewers that truck really brings back memories! I had a 76 white Ramcharger 4x4 with the softop option. It had the 440 and was a beast. Loved that truck. Cold as anything in the winter in Chicago. 😎 I finally had to get rid of it as the body literally rusted away from the frame. Big gaping holes in the floor had me wondering how long until the seats hit the ground.
Brian you are one wild and crazy guy. I watched in horror as the fuel filter leaked gas onto the engine block. I was glad to see you change the fuel filter. From anyone else I would not believe that they set fire to gasoline to warm up their carburetor, from you maybe. I'm not sure if getting the truck to run is good but I wish the best.
Love those Dodge trucks. Somewhere there's a Carter Ball & Ball carb that is longing to be on that 318. They work so good. That 2GC Rochester is rebelling. There is no substitute for Mac's Carb dip and a kit. I suppose you'll have to get some brakes on it next... lol. Bailey's waitin' patiently.
Got to give you some credit for tearing apart your carburetor like you did, not on a nice workbench with all kinds of tools like in some people's videos. Not everyone has $400 worth of name-brand wrenches and screwdrivers, we do what we have to do to get something to work. You're a real knuckle buster, I like you :-)
Nice to have a vehicle to work on that you likely could actually fix with a crescent wrench, hammer and screwdriver. Also yes I like to show that results can be achieved without going overboard to get there. Sometimes you need it fixed and a hospital isn't available so field triage can get you back in action so to speak. :-)
It ain't a "will it run" video unless it involves a bush hog, lol. Old truck looks to be all there. Should clean up pretty well. Looking forward to seeing more of it!
Surprised the fuel pump works. Distributor advance mechanisms are probably both inoperable. Pull the distributor cap and poke around in there with a screwdriver to see if the weights move freely. Test the diaphragm. Solid lifter engines tolerate long term storage a bit better than hydraulic ones. Love the polysphere.
This is the first "car-been-sitting-for-a-long-time-will-it run?" video where i actually believe its been sitting for 20 years! Jeebus that thing is overgrown! Cool Video Brian!
You are braver than I would be if I took that carburetor apart setting in the grass I would drop something that would be impossible to replace cheaper than a new carburetor.
If it's yours, and it is, of COURSE it'll run! Baily is a little unsure at the moment but biding his time in seeing if rides and treats will REALLY be forthcoming. THEN you'll get the Wag!
When you get it out of the bushes take an afternoon and pull the heads off and send them out to and engine shop for a valve job. There's one that's badly burnt... you can hear it when you were trying to crank it and there's not much compression on that cylinder. Cheers from NC/USA
One of the lifters seems to be hanging an intake open. I pulled the cover and banged on the rocker and you can see it come up. Could be a bent valve I reckon too. It seems to be getting better though so I think it is just from sitting and might get better the more it is run. I put some seafoam in the oil and fuel. That is bound to fix it. LOL
@@bcbloc02 If it's just gum, add a quart of Marvel Mystery Oil (kerosene & wintergreen oil) and idle it for 30 minutes. Drain and refill with the correct oil and filter. While the engine is good and hot dribble about 6-12oz of water down the carburetor with the engine running at 2500-3000 rpm. That will dislodge the carbon off the intake valves and pistons (not a good idea on an engine with a catalytic converter on it).
Bonjour bravo, vous avez réussi à remettre en route ce véhicule avec quelques outils et de savoir faire 👌, ce genre de véhicule abandonné qui trône dans les champs ou autre n est pas courant , continuez de parcourir et de sauver les voitures de collection. Bien cordialement France 🇫🇷
Before I saw Mustie1, I wouldn't have given you a chance in hell getting that running. After I've seen what Mustie drags out of thew woods and gets running, a Dodge sitting 23 years is a piece of cake.
Those 318 engines are pretty much bullet proof. I have rebuilt hundreds of carburetors in my career but I will have to say that I never rebuilt on sitting on the grass in the front yard LOL. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out. Do try to find a kit for the carb, it will save you a lot of aggravation in the long run. Thanks for sharing.
For a minute i thought I had stumbled onto Mustie1's channel or Watch Wes Work! You should put that carburetor on the big lathe and clean it out with a small boring bar!
Well it is kind of running. Seems it only wants to run when it is cold as soon as it starts to warm up it quits. Not overheating though...... Think its the coil
My brother had the old 67 Dodge slant six granny 4sp sitting 40 years out in the Washington rain. It fell apart and he torched off a foot of the front for a wall hanger
Sure did look like some of that was poison Ivy/Oak! I would have been a mess! On a sweeter note, I own a '70 D200 Adventurer. Drive it all the time. I love that thing! Wish we could post a pic in the comments. Mine has a 383 in it. Those old polys did run real well for their size!
Nice that you it is running and I'm sure you'll get it purring again. If not, just jack the front end up on with the 3 point and use the truck bed like a trailer. :-)
Nice truck I like this kind of video. That wide block 318 is a good engine from what I know. How about a little warning before you start a grass fire, LOL
@@bcbloc02 It still has points and plugs not a computer. I had a 1976 mercury Cougar with all electronic ignition. A loose $2.00 coil wire burned out a $125.00 electronic ignition and those were 1980 dollars. As a college student I did not have a lot of extra money to spend on stuff like that.
Awsome camo job, Got an BMW E30 convertable runs perfect just don't really drive that much for now I'ts a camo job too. been spending all my time in the shop seeing if i can come up with a product line to keep a Hardinge T60 paid for ya soooo... get to watch other peoples auto projects
Needle valve is stuck in the carburetor. Disconnect the gas line at the carburetor and blow compressed air through the fuel line into the carburetor. Listen for a small "click" as the needle valve breaks loose. Reconnect the gas line and it should run.
Idon't beleave what I just saw good work buddy just a thought look at the top rad hose looks like it's a bit too long it might be chocking off some water going to the rad nice to see you work
It doesn't quite line up right because it is the wrong radiator in the truck, it is one for a slant 6 as it is all I could find. It might be a little kinked but it isn't restricted.
Oh, a tip a friend of mine gave me to clean carbs (I haven't tried it yet) is to soak them for a few days in pure Pine Sol.. he did a Briggs carb and it came out spotless.. I'm going to try it when I have a badly gooped up one
@@bcbloc02 I never thought of it as a strong cleaner either so that really surprised me as well.. I just picked up a quart and I'll try it for myself I have a friend who has cattle in Millersburg,.. told him if he ever has something broke so bad no one else can fix it, to talk to you!
Imagine me thinking you were going to bring that carburetor back to the shop for service. Shame on me I should know better by now. You had a hammer screwdriver and a lighter. Nice wrenching there
These little carbs have only a couple passages so its pretty easy to blow them out. The amount of gunk in this thing is pretty impressive but at least it had an airfilter on it... without an air cleaner it is a disaster.
Maybe cut some of that upper rad hose to shorten it. Or spin it around. It is still good if it isnt leaking. The truck isnt driving on the road so what happens if the hose splits open? ... you drive the truck back to the shop with the hose burst... no big deal. Hoses arent free and how much money do you want to put into it? Why stop there... replace all the hoses and the plugs and plug wires and points and cap and rotor and and and... it runs and that is what it needs to do. Mission accomplished! The truck is asking for a carb kit so far... and about a dozen fuel filters :p The fuel tank is probably a disaster... flushing it might be a good idea. Sounds like people want to spend $200 on maintenance that wont make it run much better.

This brings me back... to LAST FRIDAY when I had my baler carb apart for a cleaning, trying not to lose the float pin and needle in the hay
Working on the carb in the lawn is asking to lose a small part or two. I have trays around for that kind of thing to keep all parts together.
Good think you can work on that yourself because most of the shops today cannot work on it because there is no place to plug in the computer.

Could see the fuel filter fill up the first time it tried to start. I would say it was definitely a fuel issue to get it started

Looks like a bypass hose is collapsed also.
One cylinder is down on compression, at least when you were cranking it.... if its a stuck valve it might free up after running it a bit :)

IMO the 318 is right behind the slant six as Chrysler's best engines. Just keep an extra ballast resistor in the glove box!
Imagine me thinking you were going to bring that carburetor back to the shop for service. Shame on me I should know better by now. You had a hammer screwdriver and a lighter. Nice wrenching there
These little carbs have only a couple passages so its pretty easy to blow them out. The amount of gunk in this thing is pretty impressive but at least it had an airfilter on it... without an air cleaner it is a disaster.
Had a poly 318 in a 66 Fury. Great motor
Best running 318 I have driven.
Good job gettinv her running
I am surprised you didnt have some pissed off yellow jackets or wasps when you pulled the truck out. That is always my luck.
They were in the cab........................
Brian's smile when engine started :-))))
You the Man Brian,
Maybe cut some of that upper rad hose to shorten it. Or spin it around. It is still good if it isnt leaking. The truck isnt driving on the road so what happens if the hose splits open? ... you drive the truck back to the shop with the hose burst... no big deal.
Hoses arent free and how much money do you want to put into it? Why stop there... replace all the hoses and the plugs and plug wires and points and cap and rotor and and and... it runs and that is what it needs to do. Mission accomplished! The truck is asking for a carb kit so far... and about a dozen fuel filters :p The fuel tank is probably a disaster... flushing it might be a good idea. Sounds like people want to spend $200 on maintenance that wont make it run much better.
IT LIVES !! great video
Good looking truck. Looking forward to seeing more of it. Glad the murder chickens didn’t take you.
Yeah me too!! Those chickens will come at ya!
