Guys, this was great ! My mechanics career started at age 9 on grandmas 1969 Plymouth Satellite. The drivers door was stuck shut and went from being the after school hang out eating ice cream and snacks with the guys, wrenching on her thru the years even though she would never see the road again. That 318 taught us so much and besides setting our hair on fire a few times with the backfires thru the carb as we learned about point gap, dwell and ignition timing..... these were our golden years. No worries, no pressures, just the sound of that gear reduction starter whiring the beast to life and the 5 of us piling into the bench seats for a speed run down the back streets of our development when no one was looking.. FF to today and I have all the old dwell meters, carb tools tool boxes full of memories. I could go on and on and all of the guys from the old neighborhood are still alive and would have a pie eating grin on their faces as they told you about the time..... On a technical note, you should properly gap and dwell the points after checking to see that the cam lobes are all there on the point block in the distributor and the bushing is tight, not flopping around. Second that "NEW" carb prob full of trash or flash casting. The old one properly jetted or as close so for todays fuel. The exhaust could be plugged from a rotted muffler or mouse nest. Where there is more stuff I have forgotten than I can remember the oil filter plate gasket was a sore point and can mimic a rear main oil seal until it blows out completely.
I mention this because of what you said with the new carburetor. I am a Mopar guy I am 54 years old and I own a 69 Dodge Dart GTS convertible 340 Auto. This might sound stupid but trust me one day you might thank me. I bought a brand new alternator once thinking well that was the problem and a brand new alternator would fix the problem... right? Well guess what a brand new alternator that was properly assembled would have fixed the problem so for another week 5 days I don't remember I sat there scratching my head thinking a new product would fix what I knew it was then it made me think I didn't know what the problem was because I didn't think that a brand new product would be defective. Well guess what I got a defective alternator and it screwed me all up back when I was about 17 years old so I hope that maybe you might remember that guy's CHEERS God bless you all WOW....@ 33.33 ... my number even.....crazy... YOU MADE IT CLEAR YOU WERE ALREADY AWARE OF MY ADVICE. ..I SAY.. WELL DONE!
I keep waiting for the Canadian dude to weld his ring to the frame. Especially when he was holding that burned out negative cable! Great find, great video!
I’ve brought many old 318’s back to life after sitting for decades…and I can tell you that the best way to deal with engine noises & misses after extended sitting is to get it running, change the oil, block the throttle at 1500, and let er go for an hour. She’ll be nice n quiet afterwards (either it’ll quiet down or blow up!)
Life pro tip: Use an old windex or other spray bottle for your "get it going" gas. Pre-atomizes it and if it flashes back through the intake you don't have a direct path to your container of gas. Also, less spillage.
@@DEBOSSGARAGE Also, test cylinders by pulling plug wires out of the distributor cap instead of off of the plugs. That way, the wire in your hand is dead and won't shock you.
An old Yamaha 2-stroke v6 will light you up pretty good, too. It’ll have you questioning for a minute if you just died or not. The 2 year ball tingling issue sounds like it sucks too though.
Love the DeBoss and Dylan combo!! A cool competition would be you two and VGG pick a car from different locations, find beaters, and see who can get theirs running and to the location, with various points along the way. Anyway, thanks for hr long video of entertainment
Well done to you guys for helping get this family vehicle back on the road again. You can tell you're both true car guys by how it emotionally affect you both to see the family able to drive the car once more. Real car guys get that the vehicle isn't just a link to past memories but also a conduit to make new memories. Awesome jobs guys 👍
I agree with Accuracymark about the nylon timing sprocket cam side teeth are likely crumbled off. Dylan lined the rotor up right, but I suspect the teeth are missing on part of the sprocket. The rotor changes position as the chain slips. Easy check is to take the cap off and turn the engine over about ten revolutions watching the rotor movement.
This is whats awesome about this channel, aVe, and vgg. The comment sections are full of useful information from folks with experience on different systems, whether its cars or machines.
I love how rich said “it’s gonna be a short video” haha goes to show that it’s not over till it’s over. Love seeing these old cars brought back from the dead.
@45:00 I’ve seen the classic mistake many times( and participated)… the 180 off wasn’t 180 off . Two valves closed on number 1 and I stick my finger in the plug hole and bump it till it blows it out …. Look down at the harmonic balancer and it should be just past tdc . Whatta cool find , good job guys👍
Seeing that car drive out under it's own power was very satisfying, seeing it get it's bath at the end was even better. Love seeing old school's come back to life.
If you pour gas down the carb vent tube it will fill the float bowl on an empty carb. 20 years without running just get it running and let the valves. lifters and rings try to get happy, sometimes a quart of ATF in the engine will help loosen things up
Better to use a diesel engine lube oil like Shell Rotella , drain old cruddy oil crusty crud in pan, remove oil kilter and put on a new one 2/3 full of clean fresh oil. Run off a boat tank temporally installed it it gets that car and there is spark and good wiring. R and R install oiled thread or anti seize greased up new plugs and squirt in oil squirts directly into cylinders . 50 50 10w or 29w mixed with half marvel mystery oil in your hand held oil can squirter pump oil can. Dump in 4.5 quarts new oil and hand turn over engine at least eight times before trying starter motor . Have a handy old blanket and fire extinguisher there 5:46 5:46
Love this type of videos, just a small tip , its easy to know firing order, 1 undu distributor cap. 2 remove spark plugs, someone starts cranking a bit by bit . 3 you place a valve grinding stick on top of first hole on L or R cyl head, 4 while cranking you will here compression bursting the grinding stick, 5 as you here that tdc comp , look at the rotor arm were it is pointing , then you mark on distributer no 1 and number one on the spark plug location, . and make the process on 8 cylinders , that is your firing order. CHEERS
I always just used my finger, I also don't use the cap to rotate firing orders because of the vacuum advance in the distributor, I usually take the distributor out and find TDC then install the distributor properly.
I've seen cement blocks under a car before. In front of it, kinda looking like they are gathering the courage to sneak in under the car and evict the tires. That's a new one.
I’ve had a carb come bad out of the box for my truck. We did what you guys were doing for hours trying to figure out what was wrong. Than my grandpa came over with a known good carb and the truck ran like a champ.
I have a 72 Charger 340 that sat for about 20 years when I got it. About a year before I started seriously working on it I cranked it over and nothing else. When I started working on it with some friends we dumped gas into the carb and it ran. We used a snowblower gas tank to let it run for longer once we knew it'd fire. It ran rough but it still ran and even drove about a foot forward.
Great to see deboss and mccool together! Great to see you guys working together, now toss in Derek and Dan and the partys complete!! Fun times, cool ol charger! My buddy has a 71 charger with a 440 six pack, pistol grip 4 speed and a dana 60. He modified the hood and added an air grabber to it, hemi orange with black stripes!!
You guys did amazing. Nothing is more frustrating than a spark or timing issue, especially after someone tampered on it. No maybe it’s because of TH-cam, but was still sounding missing. Although watching it looked smooth. Good on you for using a laser thermometer to check for a cold cylinder. I was a little surprised mechanics of your caliber didn’t think about a fuel vacuum from your water bottle sooner. I love watching theses classics come to. And you rocked it!
I really enjoyed this collab! Rich, Dylan compliments your cadence very well and vice versa. Thank you for doing this! Now, if we could only get you and ol' Peg to do something crazy together!
The Charger has the wrong ballast resistor; I'm not sure if that is the reason for the pulsing idle. I would put a stroker kit into the original engine and drive it for 30 years.
The pulsing can be overly rich at idle or a punctured diaphragm in the distributor adv/retard and stuck or broken adv. weights. A timing light is a quick easy way to check.
@@robw7205 mine is 1to2 ohm's of resistance ( depending on the parts houses and what they sell you for the right number as manufacturing isn't 💯 on point ) ( hope that's helpful to someone 🤠 as information and i did bypass it for a week or 2 and nothing bad happened but i don't leave my keys on without the engine running and driving ether as we all know about the stock subpar wiring harnesses and parts, more so around the firewall and omost got my car crisply 🔥. later i used my spare GMC K1500 HEI dizzy parts are a temporary replacement and actually ran really well with it 😲 but id still rather complete my computer 💻 mods ) on an 69 b-body and on a 71ish conversation ( as a new owner in my 20's in 2012ish i got talked into doing the dodge HEI bad move no thanks full points ( and in my local area thows are hard to come by as most carbs and dizzy's are off the road by now ) for me or full computer ) 383BB-727. right now im diching it for full 2016 EFI and a TR60-0 manual swap and a stroker 4.5+inch crank and better iron heads engine ect. . i got tried of finding parts like the ballast resistor and fusing with the dizzy and choke plus carb wlie im trying not to be late or get dirty in nice work uniform 🥋 or Sunday best and or pissing off the miss's
I had a vw motor once that ran like that with a bent distributor shaft. Everything else was good. It takes time to find these problems. Ive had a late model Merc v8 that was towed into the shop not running. It fired but kicked back through the intake. Just coil packs and a pin on the flexplate and pick up on the side of the motor. You think to your self maybe the pick up is faulty so you put the car on the lift and take it up so you can change it . Then you notice the trans has been out of it because its spotless. Phone the customer then you get the full story. The trans had been out to get repaired and the shop couldn't get it to start after refitting it. (A bad shudder on take off from a cracked flex plate thus damaged torque converter.) The flex plate had been replaced too. The flexplate has a small centre punch mark near its centre that aligns with a punch mark on the end of the crank and the flexplate was 2 bolt holes out. So sometimes the problem has a totally unexpected cause. So go easy on your under paid and over worked mechanic. Good vid guys.
I worked at a Mopar Chrysler dealership for a few years and owned a 71 Charger and always carried a spare ballast resister. I sold so many I stocked about 20 in the parts department. That was usually common for a no spark scenario. I'm retired now and this brings back memories .
I can't believe people ignore a car like that. But if to them it has no special value then to them it's just an "old car". I am so glad to see you get it back in service.
I only worked once on an American engine in a GMC Sierra from 1984. And after installing an Edelbrock intake and converting to 4 barrel carburetor, I went through the exact same procedure to figure out the ignition. Amazing how difficult such a simple thing can be. And I found as many diagrams online as I wanted, all saying something different. Only took me 2 hours. The time it takes me to take out the V6 engine out of a 1994 Audi A6. At least I could sit in the engine bay of the GMC. Even with 1,90m height
I have owned many 318s and just the fact it sat so long the lifters were just collapsed and needed to be worked a little and warmed up and they will build up. The 318 is mopars bulletproof engine I love that engine. I drove a 69 coronet 440 with a 318 in high school. Had cherry bombs on it. it was also the first car I had when I became a firefighter it was so fun with a light bar and siren on it!!!
@@jaydunbar7538 They also made a Coronet 500. That doesn't mean it came with a 500 which Chrysler never made. Again know your cars before talking about them.
Great show lol ,My cousin is one of those guys , I'll be working on something and it will not work. then here he comes lays his hands on it and BAM it works . hey pick you up some cheap dryer sheets and put them in the car it will help with some of the smell , thanks
Thank you DB&D, a great vid to watch. Even more so for me as in UK, so (any) USA cars are even more fun. Always amazed that you can run them on the road. Here in UK the P. would be ALL OVER you. They milk us unmercifully as car drivers are easy nicks. I have a 70's sports (ha, ha) car, so a magnet. As acceleration can best be described as sudden (Nope), so worth a pull, any and every excuse. Keep up the good work. Liked the earlier suggestion for comp between you and VGG. That would be totally inequitable fun. Great!
For some weird reason getting shocked by the ignition is exhilarating to me so I use my body to judge how strong the spark is if there is one then go from there. But one time I forgot to ground my free hand and the closest part of my body to the car was my baby maker... I'm here to tell you, I was not expecting that! It flexed a whole different set of muscles, lol!
The 318 in my 74 charger was acting like it was done for. Slammed it to 4500rpm for a few seconds on a burnout in the snow. Fixed forever. 10 years later, it purrs!
Funny story... i had a car i built when i was 16. Due to the way you adjust valves... when i installed distributor it was exactly 180 out. It drove lol no power and ran like ass and smoked. So i sold it to a friend. Never figured it out. He found it was 180 out lol damned thing ran awesome once he fixed it lol crazy that it was running while 180 out
This brings back so many memories of playing with old school motors. Playing with dizzies, carbs and rockers etc. Good old days for sure. Oh, and Dylan's worth the 100 bucks
I always pulled the distributor out of the engine to replace points and condenser. It won't get out of time because of the distributor drive. A glance at the rotor and a mark on the distributor body, and you can put it right back every time. Sure saves the old back. [Edit] The dead cylinder is probably caused by the vacuum booster hose being off. The rough running would be caused by that also.
HEY. I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY GUY SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THIS ENGINE. EVERYTIME. HELLOOO. WHEN A CAR WITH HYDRAULIC LIFTERS SITS THE LIFTERS DRAIN THIER OIL. AND THEY HAVE TO FILL BACK UP WITH OIL BEFORE THEY WILL PUMP UP AND OPEN THE INTAKE VALVES. EVERY TIME. CMON. GUYS. !!!
(Insert Waylon Jennings voice here) The old Duke boys sure didn't have a clue what they was in for going into that barn. The evil twin of the General Lee was waiting to ambush them. Oh I sure hope they can find a way outta this mess before old Boss Hog gets there or they'll be in a heap of steaming boar droppings.

My dad recently passed and I just inherited his 1971 (year I was born) Plymouth GTX with the 426 4 speed that has been sitting for over 25 years. Been wanting to do something with it but no time. Since I live in the rust belt this car is really clean and solid with no rust because it came from Georgia brand new but moved here (25 years ago) when my dad health was declining.my dad bought it when he got a job working at Chrysler near me in Belvidere, IL

I had a 71 Charger SE with à 383, 4 BBL. Metallic bronze factory color. Retractable headlights too. I sold it years ago cause I needed money after losing my job. Wish I still has it.i loved that car.
Just discovered you. What a beautiful car. Had to subscribe because I want to see this old girl running and back on the road. The Charger is my favourite of all the old American muscle cars.
I tried to get Petrol for my bike one winter, but the lock cap was frozen solid had to go into the shop and buy a lighter. Got some odd looks sitting next to s pump with a lighter heating up my key to get into the lock. Worked a charm though!
Hi! I live in Denmark 🇩🇰 and while I was a young kid, my parents bought an Moscowitz, a Russian car with a four cylinder in line. It had that idea that the summer was not for driving, but winter an harsh as possible, it would run flawless 😄😄 Only issue was the carburator! I can't tell the times my dad worked on that thing 😳😳 After two years they found a elder peugeot 404! If there is a special thing for the french autobuilders, it is the shere COMFORT in their cars! You can sit in the backseat for hundreds of miles, and don't have a sore ass. Remember the citroen ID19 from late fifties!? It was dekades ahead in technique. Air pressured brakes. Air pressured and manually adjustable suspension. A design from the future so to speak 🤗
What an awesome pairing ! Rich you are a great Ambassador for Canada, what a heart of gold to help the family drive their Charger again. Dylan, always the consummate gentleman and guru of the mopar world. Cheers from Winnipeg, MB.
I absolutely love the sound of the Old Chrysler starters. I owned a 68 Dodge Coronet R/T back in the early 80"s, Purple with a white top, Best car I ever owned. Drive that car everywhere ! Beat the shit out of it too LoL
I keep getting these "Will it Run?" videos recommended to me. Let me just answer the question. YES, with enough elbow grease, replacement parts, etc., IT WILL FREAKING RUN!
When they tried to fix it the got it out of time, don't think it was out from the start, it turned over alot faster, also where he messed with the floats might have messed it up.
Loved the video, just so you know I was commenting as I watched. I like doing it that way to see how close my comments may have been at the end. Keep having fun guys I'll hunt down the next video and pass this one on to my gear head friends. I say friends because we get some gals in on the action too
I had a 1977 dodge sportsman royal b100 van .it had the 318,5.2 litre engine. I had the Holley 2245 2 barrel carb on mine awesome to see this charger. Sweet the engine looked just like the model in my van. 😆
Ah ha we figured out the problem. Ya got two left handed guys working on the car. Well it looks like you laid hands on the car and healed it. Nice job. Happy Motoring.

You guys did amazing. Nothing is more frustrating than a spark or timing issue, especially after someone tampered on it. No maybe it’s because of TH-cam, but was still sounding missing. Although watching it looked smooth. Good on you for using a laser thermometer to check for a cold cylinder. I was a little surprised mechanics of your caliber didn’t think about a fuel vacuum from your water bottle sooner.
I love watching theses classics come to. And you rocked it!
I really enjoyed this collab! Rich, Dylan compliments your cadence very well and vice versa. Thank you for doing this! Now, if we could only get you and ol' Peg to do something crazy together!
DDSpeedShop on Winnipeg is pretty close to halfway, and they're all in Canada. Make it happen, boys!
The Charger has the wrong ballast resistor; I'm not sure if that is the reason for the pulsing idle. I would put a stroker kit into the original engine and drive it for 30 years.
The pulsing can be overly rich at idle or a punctured diaphragm in the distributor adv/retard and stuck or broken adv. weights. A timing light is a quick easy way to check.
That was a big ballast. My 67 440 has a little skinny one like my 55 CJ. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@robw7205 mine is 1to2 ohm's of resistance ( depending on the parts houses and what they sell you for the right number as manufacturing isn't 💯 on point ) ( hope that's helpful to someone 🤠 as information and i did bypass it for a week or 2 and nothing bad happened but i don't leave my keys on without the engine running and driving ether as we all know about the stock subpar wiring harnesses and parts, more so around the firewall and omost got my car crisply 🔥. later i used my spare GMC K1500 HEI dizzy parts are a temporary replacement and actually ran really well with it 😲 but id still rather complete my computer 💻 mods ) on an 69 b-body and on a 71ish conversation ( as a new owner in my 20's in 2012ish i got talked into doing the dodge HEI bad move no thanks full points ( and in my local area thows are hard to come by as most carbs and dizzy's are off the road by now ) for me or full computer ) 383BB-727. right now im diching it for full 2016 EFI and a TR60-0 manual swap and a stroker 4.5+inch crank and better iron heads engine ect. .
i got tried of finding parts like the ballast resistor and fusing with the dizzy and choke plus carb wlie im trying not to be late or get dirty in nice work uniform 🥋 or Sunday best and or pissing off the miss's
I had a vw motor once that ran like that with a bent distributor shaft. Everything else was good. It takes time to find these problems. Ive had a late model Merc v8 that was towed into the shop not running. It fired but kicked back through the intake. Just coil packs and a pin on the flexplate and pick up on the side of the motor. You think to your self maybe the pick up is faulty so you put the car on the lift and take it up so you can change it . Then you notice the trans has been out of it because its spotless. Phone the customer then you get the full story. The trans had been out to get repaired and the shop couldn't get it to start after refitting it. (A bad shudder on take off from a cracked flex plate thus damaged torque converter.) The flex plate had been replaced too. The flexplate has a small centre punch mark near its centre that aligns with a punch mark on the end of the crank and the flexplate was 2 bolt holes out. So sometimes the problem has a totally unexpected cause. So go easy on your under paid and over worked mechanic. Good vid guys.
I worked at a Mopar Chrysler dealership for a few years and owned a 71 Charger and always carried a spare ballast resister. I sold so many I stocked about 20 in the parts department. That was usually common for a no spark scenario. I'm retired now and this brings back memories .
I can't believe people ignore a car like that.
But if to them it has no special value then to them it's just an "old car".
I am so glad to see you get it back in service.
I only worked once on an American engine in a GMC Sierra from 1984. And after installing an Edelbrock intake and converting to 4 barrel carburetor, I went through the exact same procedure to figure out the ignition. Amazing how difficult such a simple thing can be. And I found as many diagrams online as I wanted, all saying something different. Only took me 2 hours. The time it takes me to take out the V6 engine out of a 1994 Audi A6. At least I could sit in the engine bay of the GMC. Even with 1,90m height
Two of my absolute favorite channels on TH-cam collaborating absolutely awesome
I had a 73 Satellite Sebring in that same pickle green, same 318, same carb. It was the terror of the town for many years.
I have owned many 318s and just the fact it sat so long the lifters were just collapsed and needed to be worked a little and warmed up and they will build up. The 318 is mopars bulletproof engine I love that engine. I drove a 69 coronet 440 with a 318 in high school. Had cherry bombs on it. it was also the first car I had when I became a firefighter it was so fun with a light bar and siren on it!!!
So it had a 440 and a 318? Never seen them duel engined before.
@@jaydunbar7538 Know your MOPARs before you comment on them. The car model was a Coronet 440 with a 318 engine. Go troll someone else!
@@jaydunbar7538 They also made a Coronet 500. That doesn't mean it came with a 500 which Chrysler never made. Again know your cars before talking about them.
17:00 EVERYONE who has ever worked on a points ignition has forgotten to put the damned distributor rotor on at least once. 😆
Great show lol ,My cousin is one of those guys , I'll be working on something and it will not work. then here he comes lays his hands on it and BAM it works . hey pick you up some cheap dryer sheets and put them in the car it will help with some of the smell , thanks
Thank you DB&D, a great vid to watch. Even more so for me as in UK, so (any) USA cars are even more fun. Always amazed that you can run them on the road. Here in UK the P. would be ALL OVER you. They milk us unmercifully as car drivers are easy nicks. I have a 70's sports (ha, ha) car, so a magnet. As acceleration can best be described as sudden (Nope), so worth a pull, any and every excuse. Keep up the good work. Liked the earlier suggestion for comp between you and VGG. That would be totally inequitable fun. Great!
Had one from 1999-2014. Had a great time with it but changed hobbies and let it go. It was a fun wrench turner for sure
For some weird reason getting shocked by the ignition is exhilarating to me so I use my body to judge how strong the spark is if there is one then go from there. But one time I forgot to ground my free hand and the closest part of my body to the car was my baby maker... I'm here to tell you, I was not expecting that! It flexed a whole different set of muscles, lol!
The 318 in my 74 charger was acting like it was done for. Slammed it to 4500rpm for a few seconds on a burnout in the snow. Fixed forever. 10 years later, it purrs!
Business card is what I would use for gaping points when I didn’t have any feeler gauges!! The business card works great every time!!!
Matchbooks work too
Uncle Tony would love this!
Funny story... i had a car i built when i was 16. Due to the way you adjust valves... when i installed distributor it was exactly 180 out. It drove lol no power and ran like ass and smoked. So i sold it to a friend. Never figured it out. He found it was 180 out lol damned thing ran awesome once he fixed it lol crazy that it was running while 180 out
Thank you guys for doing this for my best friends. We all went and graduated for the same school.
They well deserved this
This brings back so many memories of playing with old school motors. Playing with dizzies, carbs and rockers etc. Good old days for sure. Oh, and Dylan's worth the 100 bucks
I always pulled the distributor out of the engine to replace points and condenser. It won't get out of time because of the distributor drive. A glance at the rotor and a mark on the distributor body, and you can put it right back every time. Sure saves the old back. [Edit] The dead cylinder is probably caused by the vacuum booster hose being off. The rough running would be caused by that also.
HEY. I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY GUY SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THIS ENGINE. EVERYTIME. HELLOOO. WHEN A CAR WITH HYDRAULIC LIFTERS SITS THE LIFTERS DRAIN THIER OIL. AND THEY HAVE TO FILL BACK UP WITH OIL BEFORE THEY WILL PUMP UP AND OPEN THE INTAKE VALVES. EVERY TIME. CMON. GUYS. !!!
Probably just me, but i love the sound of that starter when you are cranking it!
Good ole mopar starters lol
Those starters have an amazing sound! There is no other sound in the world like that! Love it!
Rich, you are a great guy, it was a really cool thing you and Dylan did helping that family out. Love your videos.
I used to work at a NAPA back in the early 1980s and as I recall, we sold those ballast resistors all the time.
I've never been a Mopar fan, but THAT is a thing of beauty!
That toilet really took a dump 😜
This is so cool, the cool Deboss, mopar and the mopar Boss Mccool!
This is gonna be epic!!
(Insert Waylon Jennings voice here) The old Duke boys sure didn't have a clue what they was in for going into that barn. The evil twin of the General Lee was waiting to ambush them. Oh I sure hope they can find a way outta this mess before old Boss Hog gets there or they'll be in a heap of steaming boar droppings.
That was great, I instantly subscribed to Dylan's channel and will check out his videos ASAP. What a great guy he seems to be.
Deboss, Junkyard Digs, Vice Grip Garage, Dylan McCool and even Thunderhead 289. Check em all out if you haven't already, great content. Shoot while your at it check out Diesel Creek, Mustie1 and Watch Wes Work. They work on some cool stuff.
Edit: Can't forget Marty T, the resident New Zealander!
@@GeminiWoods Puddin's fab shop is one I've been enjoying lately too.
Rich acting like he don't know what he's doing lol. Also love the laugh!
A Charger that Dukes of Hazard didn't eat is always going to be a treat.
Good job guys, after getting my hand on the 70 charger I look very good, greetings from Monterrey N.L Mexico.
I've watched all your shows I love them I wish you could fix my truck I'm in Connecticut I've been watching you all for a long time Hurry back I miss your show Do more pick up trucks With big engines I love you guys Keep up the good work From the Jacobs family
What a beautiful mopar! Glad to see it coming back to life. I’ve always wanted a 68’ charger
My dad recently passed and I just inherited his 1971 (year I was born) Plymouth GTX with the 426 4 speed that has been sitting for over 25 years. Been wanting to do something with it but no time. Since I live in the rust belt this car is really clean and solid with no rust because it came from Georgia brand new but moved here (25 years ago) when my dad health was declining.my dad bought it when he got a job working at Chrysler near me in Belvidere, IL
Sorry to hear about your dad. Hopefully you had some good memories in the car with him!
@@DEBOSSGARAGE I'm an attorney and an A&P airplane mechanic not really knowledgeable about cars, this is why I watch TH-cam specially your channel because diesel engines I find interesting however, this video had Dylan McCool also so MOPAR had to be in involved. Great video!!! I enjoyed this one also
My brother and brother in-law worked at that plant. Bro in-law tried killing himself several times with 70-71 Challengers he got at the time. lol
A real challenge, in a charger... Close enough! Great vídeo!
Two of my favorite channels doing a colab? Damn. Best friday ever!!!
Now we just need part 3 with Chris Birdsong. lol
Hello Deboss..I'm in the Hammer and found you thru the VVG Pantera episode. Fun!! Love ur channel too!
How funny "If you sneeze wrong..."
Few years back i literally spent a night in ER after sneezing and pulling a muscle.
I had a 71 Charger SE with à 383, 4 BBL. Metallic bronze factory color. Retractable headlights too. I sold it years ago cause I needed money after losing my job. Wish I still has it.i loved that car.
Looked like a a fun day and the car cleaned up really well.
Watched the entire thing. Amazing video guys.
Just discovered you. What a beautiful car. Had to subscribe because I want to see this old girl running and back on the road. The Charger is my favourite of all the old American muscle cars.
good job
I tried to get Petrol for my bike one winter, but the lock cap was frozen solid had to go into the shop and buy a lighter. Got some odd looks sitting next to s pump with a lighter heating up my key to get into the lock. Worked a charm though!
Thank you
Heading to Dylan Mccool to watch more Deboss 😁
If you guys weren't drinking you should have started hahaha.
Great video sir. Long time Mopar guy myself. Glad to see ya get another one back on the road.
Hi!
I live in Denmark 🇩🇰 and while I was a young kid, my parents bought an Moscowitz, a Russian car with a four cylinder in line.
It had that idea that the summer was not for driving, but winter an harsh as possible, it would run flawless 😄😄
Only issue was the carburator!
I can't tell the times my dad worked on that thing 😳😳
After two years they found a elder peugeot 404!
If there is a special thing for the french autobuilders, it is the shere COMFORT in their cars!
You can sit in the backseat for hundreds of miles, and don't have a sore ass.
Remember the citroen ID19 from late fifties!?
It was dekades ahead in technique.
Air pressured brakes.
Air pressured and manually adjustable suspension.
A design from the future so to speak 🤗
What an awesome pairing ! Rich you are a great Ambassador for Canada, what a heart of gold to help the family drive their Charger again. Dylan, always the consummate gentleman and guru of the mopar world. Cheers from Winnipeg, MB.
you and dylan seem to really care, wonderful to see. well done gentlemen
I absolutely love the sound of the Old Chrysler starters. I owned a 68 Dodge Coronet R/T back in the early 80"s, Purple with a white top, Best car I ever owned. Drive that car everywhere ! Beat the shit out of it too LoL
I keep getting these "Will it Run?" videos recommended to me. Let me just answer the question. YES, with enough elbow grease, replacement parts, etc., IT WILL FREAKING RUN!
The 69-70 Chargers are one of my all time favorite classic cars. I'm gonna have to give credit to the Dukes of Hazzard for that.
What's wrong with the 68's ?
@@woolyhighlander7280 68’s are the best IMO
When they tried to fix it the got it out of time, don't think it was out from the start, it turned over alot faster, also where he messed with the floats might have messed it up.
Before this video...I didn't know this car....Now I LOVE this car...
Two fantastic days of work. Brilliant!! Great car......
Beware of the timing chain, they are notorious of jumping a cog on these old mopars nylon cogs break
Typical Chrysler. JUNK!
I like the color when the hood was lifted. Beautiful shade.
You guys are super cool to do this for someone!... From a fellow charger owner 👍
Been watching Dylan a episode or two after he got the challenger. Crazy seeing you two together.
Loved the video, just so you know I was commenting as I watched. I like doing it that way to see how close my comments may have been at the end. Keep having fun guys I'll hunt down the next video and pass this one on to my gear head friends. I say friends because we get some gals in on the action too
Thanks for doing this for that family! Great job guys
I had a 1977 dodge sportsman royal b100 van .it had the 318,5.2 litre engine. I had the Holley 2245 2 barrel carb on mine awesome to see this charger. Sweet the engine looked just like the model in my van. 😆
Imagine having your distributor in the back. Sure looks inconvenient. Sincerely, Ford Gang.
Big block mopars have them in the front
We dont know any different, sincerely, Chevy gang.
HAHA only a Ford guy would be concerned how convenient something is to work on.... Sincerely, Anything but a Ford Gang.
And don't much care. Cause, well, Delco.
More of the Chevy gang.
My 292 Y-Block Ford has the distributor in the back!
Really enjoyed watching you 2 talking and working this Ole Car!!
Ah ha we figured out the problem.
Ya got two left handed guys working on the car.
Well it looks like you laid hands on the car and healed it.
Nice job. Happy Motoring.
Speaking old school......a match book is the perfect non ferrous gapper for points.
saved me on the side of i 5 in 1979 in my 71 formula coming home from ft Ord my dad told me to grab a set of points before i head out so i did and sure enough i needed them had a match book to gap them and rolled on.
