That's what happens when you put that Hot Rod engine in there! LOL no I really like your car. I would challenge you to a drag race in my '68 Valiant but you would have to stand outside the car with the keys in your pocket until I took off :-)
You should see a nut with a screwdriver slot in the center on top of the steering box. Loosen the nut and turn the screw in just until the slack in the steering is gone. Re-tighten the nut.
I worked for a Chevrolet dealership. GM had some cars they donated to the local Vocational School. We headed out in a company truck with a car trailer. About 5 am I looked at the gas gauge and it was on E. I told the driver and he had not been paying attention. The first gas station we stopped at was closed. The second was a truck stop in Ohio and they only had diesel. The next gas station we pulled into and the truck engine stopped running and we coasted to the fuel pump. LOL The rest of the trip was good.
Good stuff! Cars and coffee and great adventures. I had a 1979 Olds Cutlass in high school that did not having a working gas gauge. I know that feeling. Good video and a good little drive. 👍
That water is pretty normal. Humidity plus the little bits of water left in the engine from the bad head gaskets. With our alcohol powered big block with a vacuum pump we get about that much water with a little milky oil every pass.
That catch can must be picking up the condensation from the humid air and hot air passing through the hose. Weird. Man, I wish I would have went the mangnum, turbo, automatic route. I was looking to make my 4 door 68' Dart different and stand out too. I went with the 4 speed, 383 big block combo. Like you, I did it on a tight budget, but dang that is definitely an attention getter at the fraction of the cost. Love Mr.Jones.
Drive it around again and see if you can duplicate the water in the catch can. You had a fair amount of water in the engine before, you drained and refilled it but some of that water may have remained in the oil galley and other internal crevasses of the engine. As you drove and the engine got hot it may have heated up residual water and steamed off and into your catch can. Now that the catch can is empty drive it around a while and see if you get a bunch more or not. Then you can see if my thought is correct or not. Good luck, you’re getting there.
Yeah that’s weird. Could it be the high Florida humidity? If it is are all the other cars running around with water in their oil? Should you have a PCV system on it too? All I know is it’s good the catch can is taking care of it or that water would end up in the bottom of the oil pan, and that wouldn’t be good at all!
Could have been way worse from the title 😉 My Dart when the guage hit E and I turned it off it would not start once shut down. I proved it twice when I was driving it daily. The last time my friend and I went to a movie and it was on E so I told him hopefully it'll start when our movie is over, it didn't...
You may want to change your catch can from a vented style to a vacuum one. In order to pull out that much blow by you will need a vacuum source such as the intake manifold or a barb right in front of the turbo. Ideally both. One will be used under vacuum and the other will be used under boost. I can tell you more about the routing and parts needed if need be.
it is pretty high in water density in the south so condensate from air moisture in the oil catch can from the crankcase may have to have a closed vacuum system seen lot 440 do that some time windage tray helps nife cute the crank
You will never see me in that category. I like to think after 5 years of me and Mr. Jones in the garage, he has more sole than a cookie cutter new car. Thanks for watching 😁
I HATE that, and it's Everywhere at Every show. If we wanted to see new shit, we'd go to a dealership. I met up with some older relatives of mine at a big, great car show once , because they said they were bringing a Charger. When I got there , it was a new Charger. And they wondered why everyone was walking right past it. I have no idea what goes through these people's minds.
@@TheGasTap Amen ! I HATE new crap at a car show. Waaaaaay too many fat ass Challengers at Mopar car shows. There are so many newer Challengers, that it makes me not even want to look at the 70 - 74s.
Looking good Steam is fairly normal and is a by product of the combustion process especially when cold outside blow by not is not helping equation Heaps of oil not so great. A pcv setup as per a factory setup has its suction side going to turbo inlet. Ie plumb catch can breather to inlet and add breather else were on engine. I would be drawing from the valley through catch can/oil separator setup to turbo inlet and breath in from rocker covers
Do you plan on going on the next Power Tour? It’d be great to meet you along with some other people like Vice Grip Garage or those from Roadkill! Awesome car
You're the second youtuber (that I'm subscribed to) to do a Fitech install and run it out of gas on basically the maiden run. Cool that you're getting to enjoy it.
very nice ride , you put a lot into it , not sure on the water , but if your oil is clear and you are not losing coolant it is probably OK , just a question , do you use gas with Ethanol , which sucks in moisture ??? You know there was a time when your vehicle had to be 20-25 years old to get in to a car show , now you just open up the check book and buy yourself a 10 second street machine !!!! you had to work to get 600HP out of a V8 engine and it would barely idle !!!!!I I got out of cars and went into restoring military vehicles , lots of fun !!!! although you can't buy just one , I have five currently and btw Florida has a very active military group . I belong to a military vehicle club , and we use our vehicles to honor the veterans and show our vehicles at military events , stay safe bob k
Enjoy the videos I have a question. About the steering wheel play. Have you adjusted the gear box ? It has a screw on top and bottom. Careful not to tighten it to much about an inch of play in the steering wheel.
@@TheGasTap I had to adjust the gear box in my 1965 barracuda. It is manual steer. I did have a 1970 valiant I had to adjust it and a few others I have owned. I have to say I want to do a v8 swap on my barracuda. The turbo add on is a brilliant touch. It makes me curious how the red truck would run with a turbo.
same tuners and same off the lot modern cars 😂 I hear them reeving up the fart muffler in the background 😂. saw a few classics . Mr. Jones has them beat 😎👍🏁. I forgot what mufflers you running on Mr. Jones. get a can of BG oil additive called RF-7 . It comes in a stainless steel looking can with a purple label on eBay . I run it in my engines and so does my mailman . it creates a slick surface on the internal engine parts and helps the seals and helps with compression. it actually works . just make sure not to get on your or your clothes ect its sticky and makes oil webs . water is from the high vaccum pressure and the humidity collecting 🤔
well my 02 alero does the same no catch can water so clean could drink it or grow potatoes. 3rd generation 2.4L with no pcv just a oil/air separator side of engine block. winter months here in mn condensation fills up the air filter box chuck full filter & all (turns to block of ice) then white steam out the tail pipe thick ice forms in throttle body gets into throttle position sensor then frozen/stuck throttle @ 65mph only way to stop car is shut ignition off. car has 311k with some blowby im a 1 owner. now i vent crankcase gases down to ground winter months
I love cars but whats with the new Challenger's and Mustang's filling half of every show? Even up here in the north. Boring. Next. Thanks for the video buddy.

Running out of gas is the least of your problem on your first road trip.. Needs more boost though😁 good job sir
More boost coming soon!!! Haha
A shame the turbo didn’t make mr jones fuel efficient enough to not need it anymore! Lol it sounds good can’t wait to see it run 12’s!

Was good meeting you at cars & coffee. Kick ass car man !! I looked like a corpse on camera I need to work on that shit 😂
Lol. Excellent meeting you and talking. Good times!!

Byproduct of compressed air is condensation.

Man, I wish I would have went the mangnum, turbo, automatic route.

Thanks sooo much!
same here man. 70 dart swinger, 4 speed, 400 big block. EXPENSIVE. worth it? idk yet. kinda want to put a turbo 4.0 jeep in it...lol.
YES!!
From Rhode Island-Diggin' tha project-lookin' forward to future developments-rock on bro!

Plan on doing some driving tomorrow!!
I was thinking the same thing.
I was going to post just this, most likely just the leftover water in the crankcase from the blown head gasket, it should stop steaming so much now.
Thinking the same
Catch can is doing its job as is the baffles. Just some resident moisture inside the engine coming out.
Of all the cars i saw there I like your Plymouth best. Mopar🏁✊
Man! You are getting popular. I think there was more ads than content in that episode! Love your work.
TH-cam has been adding more adds in my videos. I took one out and I'll do a better job of watching out for that in the future.
MY ol 69 Aussie Vals fuel gauge was Dodgy as, man great Day out Mr Jones was Smiling i could Tell

This might be a dumb thing to compliment someone on, but it really was a pleasant thing to behold: your turn signal usage. 🙂
:)
Love your videos brother. keep them coming.

Well, you found out how heavy it is 😂
🤣
Dump a can of Engine Restore in it and drive it 200 miles. I bet it works!

Thanks for the info. I did my research and I’m happy with my choice. Not saying their aren’t more choices. I just like what I have.
I love my 57 year old car but would not trust my gauges anymore except speedo. All auto meter now. Exciting to be out farther with the ride GJ

What is about buying a new car and taking it to a car show?

im thinking the engine heated up and steamed all the water out of the oil galleys and milkshake.
Dome light works
Looking good

I definitely want to do one. Not sure if I’ll make the next one though

I was so excited to drive it that I forgot to stop for gas. Haha
My trick is i buy a gallon of water , pour it out and fill it with gas , walk to car . Lots of stations dont have cans they lend out.
Cars coming along

It had ethanol free gas in it but the gas station in the video only had e10 93 octane.
90% of those people at Cars and Coffee will know what that car is......i hope.
Some thought it was a Chevy. 🤦🏻

Who needs a squat rack when you have a car to push.
💪🏼
Still less Mopar than anything that’s 1 reason I love em!
They get milky after sitting especially in a humid environment.
Anyone know the wheel&tire combo he is running in the back, looks awesome!
Checkout the description below the vid. Got the basics there
And thanks for checking out my videos!!
Aahh thanks did not know that! The car looks awesome!!
Love it
Time to go fishing.
Always!!
Do a cylinder leak down test.
Complex fuel delivery problem
Lol

Agreed. We need more classics.
