As you know I'm legally blind and I can't drive so I can really relate to when you said you enjoy other people driving it puts a smile on my face and makes me forget about all what's going on when I get a ride in a fast car or just a nice old classic car my goal is to get an old classic 4 door Mopar that my stepsons and I can cruise around in Keep up the great work you have the best automotive TH-cam channel going by far
Once had a blind neighbor who grew up while muscle cars were just affordable used stuff. He would hear my 1986 GT Mustang and one time asked if I could give him a ride to his ex wife's house to see their kid. I didn't get on it, um, much, but he enjoyed the sound and the shifts (I'm pretty good with a stick). He told me about a friend back in the day who's uncle had a junkyard and they found a Pontiac LeMans and pieced together a pseudo GTO. Unfortunately Pontiac stopped getting good rear axles in 1957, so their fun didn't last long :) But it is great giving a ride to someone who appreciates a performance car. I got my 1986 due to a coworker who once took me out in his 1985 GT Mustang--5,000 RPM in Third gear on backroads during lunch break, it was quite responsive even though that year wasn't considered to be all that fast :)
Tony, hope you recall about 2 weeks ago on your LIVE event I asked you about Fuel Pump for 225 that didnt pump, you mentioned quality issues and to expand the hole by about 1`/4 inch or so. I am happier to report that Buying and installing a Carter Fuel pump fixed the issue, the real problem on the other 2 major manufacturers of these pumps is that the activation arm has a bend in it, and when mounted correctly it will never make contact with the cam lobe, Carter Pump has a straight arm and contacts fully on every rotation, creating 5.5 inches of vacuum and up to 11psi delivery to carb. So one issue fixed and several more to cure. LOVE your videos Dude keep em coming.
Why does the pump make vacuume? My dad has a 62 falcon and I think the wipers run on vacuume from the fuel pump. Didnt know if mopar did it that way too
Kevin Johnson Vacuum from the engine. Not fuel pump. He was just meaning that if you block off the feed port for the fuel pump it is trying to pull fuel (air) at a vacuum. Which a lot of mechanical pumps aren’t great at. Sounds to me like the OP just had the wrong fuel pump. Or maybe someone installed it in such a way that when it was rotated over the arm was bent. I know on the 7.3 idi fords they have a block mechanical lift pump and it is easy to install the “arm” on the wrong side of the cam. As soon as the engine rotates: bent and will never work.
Awesome vid! Love your cool Mopars hard for me to choose a favorite one... Im 23 all I drive is a factory 383 67 d100 and a 66 valiant with a trusty 170
i used to fix up mopeds for fun and small profit some years ago and always kept all the bad parts. Threw all the bad parts together and built a working engine from it. Sounded like crap but it was faster than any other i fixed up.
The '64 Dart and the wrecker are the _bones_ of this mighty fleet...it looks like chaos - until you look closer: all compatible and interchangeable, all practical. Very glad to see that the 360 is now going into the Swinger...brill series, that.
I like how he does his videos like yu’re sitting there having a conversation with him in person. Its more personal and more engauging to watch. its like being there and him walking you around!
I appreciate your time. Us young guys learn alot from them. I really love your passion for mopars. I share the same passion with my 440 swinger 4-speed.
Thank you! Your collection put me into a happy place. I look at my collection of Mopars, and I see the cars as I want them to be, not as they are at the moment. The worst is my '73 duster. Crank-back moon-roof!! No engine, trans or shaft. 7-1/4. No K-member. No interior. Missing some glass. Bees found a home in it. Rescued out of the back bottom of a friend's part's yard. Been sitting on the trailer so long, the planks of the trailer have rotted out from under it, and it's falling through. **BUT** I keep buying parts off e-Bay when they come up cheap. Someday . . . Roll bar, wheelie bars, street car with an attitude.
In many cultures chickens are considered a sign of affluence. Because it means you have been able to stay on the land, feed yourself and your livestock. I wish I had some of those invisible chickens. Congratulations on your good fortune.
A ramcharger tow vehicle. I have a 83 318 727 4wd that has pulled many trailers loaded with vehicles/scrap. It was a hell of a work horse. The only bad thing about it was the wheel base. You really had to pay attention to how the load was balanced. She could get squirrelly as all get out if it was the least bit tongue heavy. It was retired to a winter rig years ago because the front end is so loose that it’s like herding a drunk elephant down the road.
Man I grew up with guy like Tony here .it's just amazing the the knowledge they have about motors .definitely a good thing you're making these videos and passing that knowledge on man 👌👌..keep them coming
i went down to do some testing at the strip and there was a vega with a v6 231 and he was getting 1700 hp out of it ,i was amazed how fast that little engine was running . when i was kid i would go down to bell's place and help clean parts and learn as much as i could till i got to build engines . then after a few years i started working at a body shop helping at night and week ends to learn everything i could about fixing car . even learn interiors just so i could build a car from ground up . still learning things there seems to be all ways a better way this is y i watch u guy's never know when a new trick or old trick never hurts to learn .i have built a few cars from the ground but never a full race car i just can't gut them i love them to much the way they are i could not do what u do take a drill to it . i love them restored so i race full stock body cars but i will tube them because it looks cool . i would say i'm more about the looks of a car then how fast it is . but after watching u do a 4 door car witch i hate 4 door cars made me think i could gut the sh. out of a 4 door car with no bad feeling on the car so keep up the good job i'm learning .
Thanks for the tour Uncle Tony, totally dig your vibe and shop, and of course thanks for sharing your knowledge. The basics series, plus the more in-depth stuff about the habits of the air/fuel mixture, etc, are invaluable resources to me. looking forward to the next one!!
Hey Uncle Tony I just tried to explain to my wife why I love watching your channel. I’m not sure she gets it, but my bro & I do. Keep up the good work guys Cheers😊
Tony, you should paint up the tow truck in a Super Bee paint scheme with the Bee wearing the old fashioned doctors head reflector and a Red Cross sleeve band and call it the Mopar Medic. If you install the right wheel lift rig (think repo truck) there's another Red Cross. Add in the older red emergency lights on top (cones) and a white lab coat covered in Mopar patches (a little grease here and there) and YOU shall be adorned properly for your level of Mopar knowledge Dr. Tony 😎B-) LOL
Uncle Tony,you turnt me into a Mopar guy,since watching your channel I have sold my S10 project and bought a Dodge Dakota. Plan is to build up a 5.2 magnum similar to bottle rockets.
Super interesting...loved the tour...nice. Great plans on everything. The yard's white Tow Truck is soooo under-appreciated.....please give that engine a nice fresh oil change...and its bearings new grease and take it out on the road....give it some love. Look at all what it does for you....it's the backbone of your business...literally. You'll never appreciate that tow truck until it doesn't move or lift anymore.
Found this channel from Nicks Garage who apparently will get to dyno the motor for the last car shown in this video. Cool! Been watching your videos for the last couple of hours now. Great channel!!!
Love the "WATCH FOR FLYING TOOLS" decal. Wow I think the parts industry is not the same I had to put 2 calipers on my Honda Element because they locked up tighter than a drum. thanks Tony!
Tony makes me want a Mopar. I'd like almost anything. A few of those cars, or variations, were in my family or friends' families. Other Mopars too. I'd like almost anything from the classic era of Mopar. An early Dart, Belvedere, Sattelite. More a daily driver - but a bit of a sleeper. Nothing outrageous, but something with some kick. A friend's father had a 1969 Coronet 440. Cream with a vinyl roof. Tan interior. He was a doctor. That car was badass but classy. Something along those lines would floor me - but probably be pricey now.
I love the idea of the circle track car. I'm a drag racer through and through, but I have started a circle track also. I plan I running a few races next summer.
Thank you so much for doing another 12.99 for $1299 car project. That was one of my Favorite articles back in the Cars Illustrated days. Tony, you made my day. Back in the day when I called one of the numbers I found in my latest issue of Cars Illustrated and you actually answered the phone and talked with me for like 10 minutes about that project, you really made a great impression on me and I have never forgotten that day and I will always be a fan. Keep up the Awsome videos and I am really excited about the Dart project, cant wait to see it.
Love your work Uncle Tony. Would love to have any one of those. Still looking for a good classic, everyone around here is selling their rust as if it were gold. Thanks for all that you do, it really is appreciated.
My friend i just found your videos and i like to say your videos are just so awesomely enjoyable.New subscriber I'll be cking all your educational information videos.Thank you.
I love Plan Z, my 225 Valiant has been making that same weird little squeaky ticking noise out of the exhaust for a few years now. It's not so bad with a muffler though. Stoplight to stoplight is what my daily 68 Satellite is setup for too. Can't wait to see what kind of mileage the Ramcharger gets, my Satellite used to get over 25 MPG with a 273/2.76 combo. Good vid as always, love all the cars!
I like all the vehicles but I'm a truck guy at heart so the 1980 Dodge Tow Truck is my favorite! It's a beast and a workhorse. Can't wait for more mopar truck videos on your channel asap! Different change of pace from all the car videos.
I bought my daughter has the same black Nissan Versa as your neighbor, my white Nissan Versa (one year older then hers) was taken out by a deer. Cool video I learn more from your videos then I ever did from a Hayes or Chiltons manual
What a sweet collection of cars , my favourite cars are the swinger , the white charger and the Ram Charger . Great video Uncle I’ve been hoping you would make this video . Cheers .
That's the way it was with us..we done most our work in our own neighborhoods .. I grew up around CHEVY lovers I show up with a 72 GRAND PRIX ..with its original big block..and for the late 70s it was a whole gotta fun..today we're still together just older. But like your take on hands Go at it...
@@scootergeorge9576 😆 Hopefully under 5 pounds , it's like rust preventative like a commenter above said. eat a salad or 2 and lose the 5 pounds for the weight of the undercoat ? 😆😆
Enjoy your Blogs! In Australia the dart here was a VG Valiant but in 1970 the slant 6 was replaced for 215/245/265 hemi 6 our Hemi charger R/T E38/E39 was a beast with triple Webber carbs! You might like to look up and do a blog on that sometime!
Built a 383 w 727 to mopar stage three build recommend. 11.8 to one pistons and all. What a beast, put it in a 273 valiant along with a Dana 60 rear end. Un body ended up breaking apart for the torque.
Nice fleet, I'm jealous. I would love to see an update on the fleet, but also on the slant 6 home rebuild and that duster someone bought with the bad frame repair / rot. For a potentially upcoming video I'd love to know more about when is a car too far gone ( rust ) or subframe solutions. I passed on a 61 lancer about 20 years in Buffalo NY because I didnt want to have to make a sub frame and put a mustang front end in it.
Flat cams are a pain! When I go to car swap meets, I bring nitrile gloves and go through the "junk crates" looking for old performance cams that aren't damaged. I send them off along with old lifters for rebuild, heat treat, and parkerizing. I break the cam in with single valve springs, then switch out to dual springs. This seems to work. I'm not sure what has happened to the cam blanks or lifters, but it seems to be poor quality metal... One performance shop I buy from actually sells "broken in cams" - they have cut away engines that they spin the cams and lifters in for hours. The heat and noise coming from that room was merciless! I'm a VW guy but used to run a Dart 340 til I got my butt kicked by a VW bug😊 Cheers and thanks for the great videos!
I don't feel so bad now that I have my '07 Mustang that I rebuilt under a cover in the driveway that I haven't touched in close to a year, last thing I have to do is wire in a relay for the foglights to go off when high beams are on so it passes enhanced safety inspection here in PA. Haven't had the time since I bought the '73 Cuda and started a garage remodel. UT/UC, any motivation to do an 8-3/4 rear rebuild video series? That slant 6 motor rebuild series is excellent!
A bunch of projects,like the variety of Chrysler Corp. cars.My Dad bought his first car with my input,1970 Plymouth Sport Fury,318-2bbl.Auto.Trans.,2.94 gear.At that time I had my fastest Mercury,1967 Cougar,6.5 litre (390 cubes)with Holley 600-4bbl.,wide. ratio 4 speed,3.25 rear gear.Then one day I got beaten on the street by a 1971 440 air grabber RoadRunner.After that I bought a 1970 Plymouth Satellite with 318-2bbl.,auto trans.,2.94 gear.Got married to my Mopar sweetie,she drove a 1967 Plymouth Fury 2 with a 318A(poly head)& auto.trans. & painted red everywhere .Next 2 -1971 Chrysler full size cars,1971 Chrysler Newport Custom 4 door hardtop(383-2bbl.AT,PS,PDB,open 2:76 gear,ATC air conditioning,Then a 1971 Chrysler 300,4door hardtop l(440-4bbl,350hp with AT,PS,PDB,& another ATC air conditioner.Changed out the entire rear differential housing on the 300 with one out of a 1973 Imperial -9 1/4,3:21 ratio.
The specs come in as about 2700 and change depending on original options so my guess our Uncle Tony removed about 600 from it.. awesome my 68 Dart is about 3100 with a 318..
@@MudjunkiesMS Badass.. I drive mine everyday and Everywhere, the A.C. is long gone so my Granny Special More door Dart is probably at or around 3,000.. I love A Bodies..
I remember as a kid in the 70s riding down the highway with my dad and started checking cars that were passing. Soon I asked him why I mostly saw Ford's and Chevys but not many Mopars. He promptly replied " they all got wrapped around telephone poles". As soon as I was getting old enough to drive, I found a GTX with a 440 for 1000 dollars. I asked him about it and he said " we are Chevy guys because we are poor" so I ran 327s and 350s ever since. But I think I'm a closet Mopar guy. Always wanted one. after living life though, I can see why he steered me in the direction he did.
Stoplight to Stoplight car.I haven’t heard that since I bought my 55 Chevy off a gas station in Brooklyn in 1977.I was 15 it had a four speed and a small block that smoked headers with bullet mufflers.Two years later I traded up for 68 Camaro that I still have today!
I got faith in you I know it takes a lot of time and sometimes you just struggle with things all you can do is do the best you can with what you got it's amazing to me how something so simple can just turn out to be garbage all you can do is put another tire on the fire and get back at it
I love your video and collection. I sure miss having a slant six car. As far as carbs I think the Carter AFB is a much better carb than Hollys. I had one in my Nova back in the day mechanical secondary's back in the day much better carb. Keep videos coming. Love the channel

I love Plan Z, my 225 Valiant has been making that same weird little squeaky ticking noise out of the exhaust for a few years now. It's not so bad with a muffler though. Stoplight to stoplight is what my daily 68 Satellite is setup for too. Can't wait to see what kind of mileage the Ramcharger gets, my Satellite used to get over 25 MPG with a 273/2.76 combo. Good vid as always, love all the cars!
i love this guy👍
I like all the vehicles but I'm a truck guy at heart so the 1980 Dodge Tow Truck is my favorite! It's a beast and a workhorse. Can't wait for more mopar truck videos on your channel asap! Different change of pace from all the car videos.
I bought my daughter has the same black Nissan Versa as your neighbor, my white Nissan Versa (one year older then hers) was taken out by a deer. Cool video
I learn more from your videos then I ever did from a Hayes or Chiltons manual
What a sweet collection of cars , my favourite cars are the swinger , the white charger and the Ram Charger . Great video Uncle I’ve been hoping you would make this video . Cheers .
Nice tour! That Charger looks good at 100 mph or just standing still.
That's the way it was with us..we done most our work in our own neighborhoods .. I grew up around CHEVY lovers I show up with a 72 GRAND PRIX ..with its original big block..and for the late 70s it was a whole gotta fun..today we're still together just older. But like your take on hands Go at it...
I really love how you do your engine compartments in white so you have more light and can see leaks.
Uncle Tony has all his misfit Mopars wearing the Uncle Tony's livery colors - rust, primer, and faded, weathered paint!
That's a really cool fleet!! Thanks for the tour!
The gack on the transmission is just preventative rust proofing!
Automatically applied by the rotating assemblies.
Cleaning it off doesn't make it faster.
Only do work that makes your car faster.

@@MrTheHillfolk - That depends upon how many pounds of dirt you have on the car, doesn't it? : D
@@scootergeorge9576
😆
Hopefully under 5 pounds , it's like rust preventative like a commenter above said. eat a salad or 2 and lose the 5 pounds for the weight of the undercoat ?
😆😆
incredibly cool fleet, thanks for introducing us and lookin forward to more mopar coolness
Like a family reunion lol... Much love unc... NEW ZEALAND!/!
I always look forward to your videos man. Just good old down to earth homebuilt hot rods.
U know u reached divine perfection in ur task and method when u r told to not come back.
Enjoy your Blogs! In Australia the dart here was a VG Valiant but in 1970 the slant 6 was replaced for 215/245/265 hemi 6 our Hemi charger R/T E38/E39 was a beast with triple Webber carbs! You might like to look up and do a blog on that sometime!
Built a 383 w 727 to mopar stage three build recommend. 11.8 to one pistons and all. What a beast, put it in a 273 valiant along with a Dana 60 rear end. Un body ended up breaking apart for the torque.
Great video uncle's, nice to see a bit on what makes you, you. Hello from a huge fan up in canada.
That road runner is one of my dream cars. Just how I'd want it nothing newer than early 70s technology.
Nice fleet, I'm jealous. I would love to see an update on the fleet, but also on the slant 6 home rebuild and that duster someone bought with the bad frame repair / rot. For a potentially upcoming video I'd love to know more about when is a car too far gone ( rust ) or subframe solutions. I passed on a 61 lancer about 20 years in Buffalo NY because I didnt want to have to make a sub frame and put a mustang front end in it.
Flat cams are a pain! When I go to car swap meets, I bring nitrile gloves and go through the "junk crates" looking for old performance cams that aren't damaged. I send them off along with old lifters for rebuild, heat treat, and parkerizing. I break the cam in with single valve springs, then switch out to dual springs. This seems to work. I'm not sure what has happened to the cam blanks or lifters, but it seems to be poor quality metal... One performance shop I buy from actually sells "broken in cams" - they have cut away engines that they spin the cams and lifters in for hours. The heat and noise coming from that room was merciless! I'm a VW guy but used to run a Dart 340 til I got my butt kicked by a VW bug😊
Cheers and thanks for the great videos!
I love you guys. I wish I could see the look on your neighbors faces when you fire up some good old American muscle in the summer evenings.
👍👍👍👍
Your backyard has more chickenshlt than John Milner's glove box.
And we dont care about ur Damn Chickens and ur neighbors probably hates ur moparts
File it under CS
Thanks for taking the time to make all the videos uncle Tony and uncle Cathy! lol 👍👍👍
Ut you have a bad disease called serious mopar addiction love the cars .thanks for the tour
I like no trailer queens. Cars you drive and enjoy. Cool cars.
Same!
I'm currently working on my dad's engine for his Belvedere.
I don't feel so bad now that I have my '07 Mustang that I rebuilt under a cover in the driveway that I haven't touched in close to a year, last thing I have to do is wire in a relay for the foglights to go off when high beams are on so it passes enhanced safety inspection here in PA. Haven't had the time since I bought the '73 Cuda and started a garage remodel. UT/UC, any motivation to do an 8-3/4 rear rebuild video series? That slant 6 motor rebuild series is excellent!
A bunch of projects,like the variety of Chrysler Corp. cars.My Dad bought his first car with my input,1970 Plymouth Sport Fury,318-2bbl.Auto.Trans.,2.94 gear.At that time I had my fastest Mercury,1967 Cougar,6.5 litre (390 cubes)with Holley 600-4bbl.,wide. ratio 4 speed,3.25 rear gear.Then one day I got beaten on the street by a 1971 440 air grabber RoadRunner.After that I bought a 1970 Plymouth Satellite with 318-2bbl.,auto trans.,2.94 gear.Got married to my Mopar sweetie,she drove a 1967 Plymouth Fury 2 with a 318A(poly head)& auto.trans. & painted red everywhere .Next 2 -1971 Chrysler full size cars,1971 Chrysler Newport Custom 4 door hardtop(383-2bbl.AT,PS,PDB,open 2:76 gear,ATC air conditioning,Then a 1971 Chrysler 300,4door hardtop l(440-4bbl,350hp with AT,PS,PDB,& another ATC air conditioner.Changed out the entire rear differential housing on the 300 with one out of a 1973 Imperial -9 1/4,3:21 ratio.
2100 pounds that is a lot of metal removed from the Dart.
I owned a T bucket kit car that weighed 1650 but it had a 64 327 in it.
The specs come in as about 2700 and change depending on original options so my guess our Uncle Tony removed about 600 from it.. awesome my 68 Dart is about 3100 with a 318..
At Zero I had a 68 273 auto 2900lbs
@@MudjunkiesMS Badass.. I drive mine everyday and Everywhere, the A.C. is long gone so my Granny Special More door Dart is probably at or around 3,000.. I love A Bodies..
Same amount of weight as my Japanese hatch bottle with 80 CID
Great job on the charger uncle Kathy 👍 keep it 💯👌 don't know what 💯 means but sounds good great job seen all videos of the charger burning rubber
You should start a Patreon Tony. We would love to support you in getting these projects fixed.
Damn Uncle Tony, I could only dream about owning that many mopars 😂
What a fantastic collection.
The wrecker is my absolute favorite I love that thing
I remember as a kid in the 70s riding down the highway with my dad and started checking cars that were passing. Soon I asked him why I mostly saw Ford's and Chevys but not many Mopars. He promptly replied " they all got wrapped around telephone poles". As soon as I was getting old enough to drive, I found a GTX with a 440 for 1000 dollars. I asked him about it and he said " we are Chevy guys because we are poor" so I ran 327s and 350s ever since. But I think I'm a closet Mopar guy. Always wanted one. after living life though, I can see why he steered me in the direction he did.
Very nice Mopars!!!!
Congratulations, cheers!!!
Thanks for the tour, cool collection.
Stoplight to Stoplight car.I haven’t heard that since I bought my 55 Chevy off a gas station in Brooklyn in 1977.I was 15 it had a four speed and a small block that smoked headers with bullet mufflers.Two years later I traded up for 68 Camaro that I still have today!
I got faith in you I know it takes a lot of time and sometimes you just struggle with things all you can do is do the best you can with what you got it's amazing to me how something so simple can just turn out to be garbage all you can do is put another tire on the fire and get back at it
I love your 80 makes me wanna get my 77 finished
I love your video and collection. I sure miss having a slant six car. As far as carbs I think the Carter AFB is a much better carb than Hollys. I had one in my Nova back in the day mechanical secondary's back in the day much better carb. Keep videos coming. Love the channel
