- We were finally able to figure out why our convertors were giving us so much trouble. My dad saved the day and helped us get everything figured out! So thank you to him.
I’ve said it before but, this is a great channel! I get my Mopar fix with the Dart (and Jeff’s Challenger stocker is gorgeous) and two families of a boyfriend and girlfriend getting along and joking and laughing is just great.
We’re glad you enjoy man , thanks for the kind words!
The comedy with Jeff and Bill is perfect. I'm laughing so hard with the way they are together.
Hey Allison tell the shop Supervisor / your mom we said Happy Mothers Day .
Thank you Jeff
He has a way of doing that.🤣 Love it when the family pulls together and tackles any situation that presents itself.
Poor Jeff-feff-ffaahh
Y'all building a true Next Generation trades ship and it is awesome content.
Tell the shop super happy mother's day
Glad y’all got it figured out. Sometimes all it takes is a fresh set of eyes. Awesome family teamwork!
Jeff’s garage is very organized I love it
Allison is SOO ready to race.
Yall get her car together.
Leaving a comment because I know it helps your channel lets go brandon
Teamwork makes the dream work. Glad you all put your minds together and got it figured out.
The Dart is coming along great. Jeff keeps such a neat and clean shop!
I really admire the organization of tools and equipment in this workshop. A place for everything & everything in that place. GREAT job Jeff!! Learn from this Kids...
The recessed ear may interfere with the starter if it is proud of the ring gear. May be best to cut it off...
Donnie
It clears. I took a lot off
I think it will clear about 3/16”, i looked at an old converter here and with how much room from the small pattern to the ring gear on their old converter not much should be passing into the valley of the starter ring. Good call though
@@young11984
Excellent and well done.
Thank you
Donnie
Between the old man and jeff I'd imagine there isnt to much they couldn't figure out on a vehicle pretty smart fellers lol
I'm not sure why I'm so drawn to this video. Maybe Jeff and the old man working so hard together to get Allison on the track. My 8th time watching it
Congrats on getting past that hiccup with Bill and Jeff's combined skills.
it call team work
Love it when Jeff and the old man get together it's always a great time lol
Boy, what an ordeal! Teamwork solved the problem and everything worked out! Stress relief right Tommy!?
I could watch Jeff work and explain things for hours he’s a very knowledgeable guy.
Unbelievable team unstoppable dream. , family that race together stay together . Great way to simplify through complex endeavor resolved by those experience and wisdom involved .. armed to the teeth , gotta army with me , never back down , never retreat. One 1/4 at A time , wheels and deals , on A dime make it happen just gotta grind . The grudge and judge never stop , on that 1/4 mile 2 lane blacktop, ..
Yeah Old Man...see, we're good for one every now and then. 🤣✌️😎
Super 33+ is the the Charmin double quilted of the e-tape world!
THAT. Made me laugh.
You helped me out. Not working on the same thing but when Jeff was talking about the rear axle location, the answer to my problem clicked !! Thanks
Swear y’all… love these videos. The funny quips, how you all are showing the work behind the scenes… love it all. “Five lashings” lol
It's always a great funny video with the old timers I swear. 😂🤣. Jeff's zip tie collection tho 👌 😍 👀
Good catch there Bill. I worked on transmissions for years and that is a new one for me. But a 350turbo in a Mopar is an odd setup. You and Jeff are great
When Jeff and Bill are together I'm unable to quit laughing them two are a hoot and I was sure between the two of them they would figure it out. Love what these two families do for the sport and the entertainment. God bless all and as always be safe
Love when Jeff and the old man get together. They are great.
Allison best thank ol Bill twice every time he comes to help....after all he is technically there helping her probably beat his Malibu...
I’m a Chevy man but I never take a 340 for granted. Those are ballsy little engines👍
Bill and Jeff are comedy gold glad the old man figured it out poor Allisons has looked really frustrated and bummed out Sure hope everything goes back together and you get to go racing love y’all
That rain was freaking brutal. Glad it's moved on for now.
Allison Tommy and Jeff thank you for sharing. All of you are putting out excellent videos. Thanks 👍😊
Very important! Take the pads all the way off so the starter does not hit them
Can't wait till the Dart is going back down the track. I think it's neat that two drag racing families have came together for their kids. Rarity nowadays.
Well let's give the old man an attaboy Pat him on the back tell him good job bill and good idea Tommy for calling your dad in with a fresh set of eyes that were frustrated keep on keeping on guys
As always Great content thumbs-up and God bless all
The MopChevOrd is gonna be fast....You were very close to throwing the 727 in, until that created 5 other fixes that would need to be accomplished to fully de-Klingon it....Gotta love hybrid race cars dropped onto a Mopar purist. I feel for ya Jeff!
Once that reworked driveshaft is installed, it will be near bulletproof and father/ daughter /shop supervisor and boyfriend approved safer with that narrowed Moser.
Of course then it will almost be time to make it another "bottle baby" so Allison can join the "bangin' it through the motor bunch"...A daddy's work is never done, Jeff is probably engineering the fire suppression system as he sleeps.
Always spot on Gary
Doo doo doo doo, wont ya let me tell about my best friend doo doo doo doo. Just picturing jeff and your dad high fiving to that music makes my day lol, love it. Btw Tommy you are a badass, keep gappin em bro
Jeff , you are still the best. Keep learning, on your daughters car. Luv that Cuda. Glad your trans problems are fixed.
Great video!, glad to see Bill finding the problem with the converter, what a pain!. I'm sure Jeff will do a good job cutting them ears down. Cant wait until the darts back up and running!.
small steps equal great sucess
Your dads made me laugh.. thats the way it should be all.fun. when the dun stops it over
I can't wait to see Allison race her car again. I bet she can't either. Great video guys. ❤️ This channel
Hilarious video with Bill and Jeff ! Making progress guys, looking forward to seeing this car race ready!
I am so glad to see you got it figured out. I have never messed around with any mopar stuff so I have never seen this issue before but that is a strange issue to have. I love it when Jeff and Bill get together they can be so funny together.
The Ole man knows his stuff.
I love seeing the cross collaboration between the channels I think it's great and it still shows a great sense of family orientation and teamwork believe it or not I'm actually had this similar problem when putting in a turbo 350 onto an LS it can be a pain in the butt good job working it out and I can't wait to see this thing as a roller again keep up the good work
I love how the 2 family's come together for the kids, it's awesome sauce 🤪. Can't wait to see the Mopar going down the strip. Keep up the good work guys.
Love this build, I just purchased a 73 and intend to do basically everything you’ve done. Subframe wise and a cage. But a different drivetrain. I’m right behind Allison in this will be my first car that will be built more for the strip. Thank you guys for all of the information and sharing knowledge. Can’t wait to see your Dart back on the track.
their is plenty of seats on the struggle bus i'm sure what ya'll found with the convertor helped a few people! Love all the content guys good luck on getting more done on your Dart allison! tommy meaning to tell you youbeen driving the wheels off the Falcon! congrats on your last win!!! Jeff we need to see the Challenger out making some passes!
I'm glad that y'all figured it out... Stuff like that can drive you crazy ..
After cutting the convertor, bolt it to the flex plate first and make sure it clears the starter.
Starter bolts to bellhousing…. So can’t do that. But it does clear!
Doing your work on the ground makes it hard to see some of those problems. It's awesome to get the problems solved. I've had those issues myself. Y'all are killing it with the music on the videos. Keep it up!!
I have a '97 Dakota Club Cab with a Twin Turbo Mangum 5.9L with a 4L80E transmission. So I understand the combination. And Ibelieve the 5.7L shares the same bolt pattern as the 340.
@Gen 2 Garage the old man saved the day glad y’all finally got the converter issues solved keep up the good work Tommy and Allison
it's going to be alright guys you've got a great support system around you!! with a little luck the dirty dart will be running down the road in no time
That'll be 5 lashings. Lmao.. love it. Another killer video guys!! And the old man to the rescue. Such a wealth of knowledge... wish yall were 6 hours closer. Lol
Glad to see you got it figured out. I know that is such a relief to get past an obstacle like that.
Awesome seeing 2 families working together good job y'all🏁💪
I love this channel. You kids are so lucky to have Jeff and Bill. Soak up everything they are telling you. Most Race car stuff is trial and error. I would take the flex plate off and be sure those converter tabs don’t stick out into the ring gear after he mills it down. If those tabs stick out into the teeth of the flex plate they will hit the starter gear when you engage the starter. You still may need to trim off those converter tabs. If you set the converter on the flex plate while it’s on the bench you can see this very easy. Love how the car is coming together.
I had a 340 Duster back in the early 90’s. I ran a Nitrous cheater kit (Small bottle) under the seat. My cigarette lighter was my nitrous button. The line to the plate was covered in rubber hose, so it looked like a vacuum line. I believe it had a 75 or a 100 jet in the plate under the carb. It made my little 340 come to life. I believe my best ET was 11:60’s on a 26x10.50 slick. I had to trim the fender lips to make them fit. It was a full interior car. Had a 727 trans with traction bars. I drove it to the track. True street car. It was fast for the times.. keep up the great work kids..
Awesome job people, The things you will learn from Jeff and Bill is priceless one day down the road you will remember this problem or parts of it, and it will help you god bless you guys and gals ! Oh happy mothers day shop Supervisor!!!😁😁😁😁
You need to name the car "The Mutt" since it has multiple manufacturers parts! LOL
Sometimes it does help to have a different set of eyes when you get stump or have issues that you can’t figure out glad to see it getting figured out and to see it being fixed soon and going to get done and back together and hope to see it on the track
We always knew he was GoodFerSumthin 😂😎
Jeff and Bill are absolutely adorable they got a little bit of a bromance going on
Has to be the most viewed video you've had !! I've watched it 7 times myself. Jeff and Bill have to build a car together.
Glad y`all figured out the problem,now ya can get it ready to make some hits!!
The interaction between you all is a pleasure to watch and always brings a smile!
Your Dad is a nut! LOL!! He's got his Super Deluxe Black Scotch Tape 2.0 wiring kit! Might wanna get some bubble gum for the stubborn areas!!
Having one dad like this would be amazing you have two is just unfair to the rest of us. 😝
Hey if building race cars was easy everyone would be building them. You guys are doing good just keep grinding and you will get it done..👌
I have also scrounged up a half roll of scotch super 33 electrical tape my grandpa before he passed had given it to me when I was putting together one of my Buick Regal cars and repairing some of the hacked up wiring,, and I was using heat shrink butt connectors and Walmart vinyl electrical tape and my grandpa picked up the vinyl electrical tape off the dash and chucked it in the trash,he was a certified journeyman electrician..
Get better first Tommy, you deserve a well rest recovery... Will be waiting for new content.
👍🏽🇺🇸👍🏽 you three are killing it ..
I'm so glad the problem is solved.. y'all had me laughing so hard I think I might have had a slight bladder issue.
keep up the good work.
Interesting tip for GM transmissions. You should have 1.100 inch back from the bellhousing to the bolt flange when the converter is fully seated.
Glad you figured it out. Fresh set of eyes and a little break makes a big difference. Keep up the good work
I love these types of videos!
Glad you all figured it out. I have friends with mopars and powerglide transmissions but never heard them say nothing about having a problem with the converter ears being like that. They probably used high dollar custom converters for there cars though.
It’s great that the problem is solved!
One person alone can have a lot of great ideas. But it takes a team of people working together to build skyscrapers and launch rockets into outer space.
That dart is gonna roll out
Awesome video great job guys
Finally I've had that trouble for ever, I never took all down to put the converter up, sure enough that was the same problem 😅
Makes no matter, a new set of eyes always helps.
On this subject. We went thru some rookie education with our 70' Dodge Dart Swinger...we were running a 77' 360 mated to a A727. The issue we had was the difference between weighted and unweighted flywheel/flexplate and " " converters. We had ordered from Jegs an SFI flexplate that arrived as a solid plate with one side having a " Bite out of it " -- which looks like it should " clear " the weight that was welded on the Houghes converter...but the two would NOT line up !!. Wanna know the answer ???
We had ordered BOTH a weighted flexplate AND converter !!!. Once we figured that out...we ended up using a new stock unweighted flexplate with our weighted converter. Problem solved....though future tech inspection would DQ it for competition. We also experienced a problem with a stock converter in a PG behind a mild thumper cammed 283..everytime we dropped it in gear it would load stall / kill the engine...I ordered a BossHogg higher stall converter...problem solved...so weird.
GM use's two different diameter flywheels one is 153 tooth flywheel and the other is 168 tooth most aftermarket convertors are made to work on both flywheels ........ you just cut off the larger flywheel bolt holes (the 168 tooth) but most SFI 168 tooth flywheels are drilled for both convertor bolt patterns so you can still use that convertor on a GM 168 flywheel with both sets of holes ..... or add the holes! love the project!
That what happens on them hybrid jobs, lol. Glad y’all got it figured out.
Yes I build some Chevrolet transmission’s and an inch and an eighth is what your spacing is on a turbo transmission
Love you guys
Y’all have motivated me to get back into the swing of working on my dart. Appreciate the good content.
Make sure your starter nose doesn’t hit the converter.
Starter interference was my concern as well.
Starter cone is outside those parameters...would never hit converter... guy's..👍👍👍
@@DonCatherman I realize that, but where that tab will lay a couple thou off the flywheel certainly could depending on the depth of engagement
Bolt the one that fits back to back with the one that dont theres your template...love the channels guys.
Electrical tape,benefits from work? Good job on teamwork figuring out the converter issue.
A fresh set of eyes is what you need
Tommy that converter is a duel pattern for a small block or big block flywheel. I have one similar. And have used the converter behind both a bb and sb.
Fresh eyes are always good! Yall are learning and so are we!
About time, Tommy your daddy a smart man. .
Great vid. Ģŕeat collaboration with the dads!
