    That "Popping" sound was a bad spark plug that wasn't firing at first and then once the engine warmed up it started pickup and firing, but of course the cylinder was full of fuel so it was a bigger "Pop" than usual. Pretty common thing up here in the North on older engines.

I'm running 8.60s in the eighth all motor now with a bunch of modern cars that need nitrous or boost to get there and I have LOTS of room for improvement.

  • @lisamcdonald7828
    @lisamcdonald7828 Před 2 lety +11

    Nice car! I would invest in a tear down gasket kit with it having sat that long. You know the valve stem seals are most likely shot. I will bet they played a part in the smoke exiting the exhaust as you were going down the track. Its just a good investment and gives you a chance to visually inspect the pistons, cylinders, valves, clean out any crap in the oil pan, and valve seal pieces in the oil pump pickup screen. That and replacing other gaskets and seals couldn't hurt as you found out with the transmission. I'd also get after the rear transmission seal and the one for where the valve body connects to the shifter linkage if you didn't already change it while you had it down to fix the band adjuster.
    Its a lot of time and work to replace mostly low cost parts but can preserve the engine and save you more expensive repairs later.

    Great vid! I actually liked this model better than the others everyone else seemed to prefer. I raced dirt for some years. I had a jewel of a 426 sitting in the corner under wraps, and I ran these. I eventually ditched the 6-pack and put an 1100 on it with far better results. Hopefully this will be the last vehicle you ever let loose of.

    Hi Dillon , me again, I just gotta tell you about my best ever mopar. I'm early 70s I found a black plymouth, black final roof, red leather interior, GTX, at a Chevy dealership, sitting in the back fenced in lot. I was looking for a 70 ls6 Chevrolet S/S. I knew the dealership owner, bought a few rides from him ( used), and he told me he had something I'd be interested in, and he got the keys and we went to the back lot. A rich dad had bought the ttc for his son, they never liked it couldn't keep it running. I started it up it barely would run. I shut it down, bought it ( price is unbelieveable). I went home got my dodge pickup and trailer and picked her up. I got home and was so excited, because what is scored was a '69 Hemi GTX!!! Dual quad, 4speed pistol grip 4- speed. It had only less than 20000 miles. I went to work on it, knowing most of the problems. I drained oil, New filter, drained the regular has ( yes reguluar!), Put Sunoco 260 in it, plus some octane boost, flushed coolant replaced, also drained brake fluid, bled brakes, then fired it up, it ran better but somebody had the carbs messed up they'd screwed the mix screws downwardly tight, fuel floats too high, so I pulled the carbs off took them to Bob's speed shop had them refurbished. While that was being doe, I pulled distributor cap, and only one set of points! So I pulled plugs points condenser, wires, everything out of dist. Put all mopar parts in. Set everything by mopar performance ( direct connection) changed tranny hear oil, rear gear oil. While I waited I detailed her from top to bottom, bumper to bumper, inside and out. The red leather was perfect , paint too came up perfect, she was impressively beautiful. Carbs came back, and Bob from Bob's speed shop helped me set them up. All he asked was to take it for a drive! This car was totally badass! I had to learn how to drive her, come out of the hole, etc. It was beautiful and awesome to own n drive. I loved it. I'll tell you where it went and still is, the man who bought it left it to his son, it has had and still has a great home. I'll say one word about why I sold it, ( wife from hell!!!)

    I bought my first Plymouth in 1980 and it was the 1968 Sport Satellite. I was just 18 years old at the time. If I knew then what I learned later I would have never gotten rid of the car.
    My 1968 Sport Satellite apparently had some special options that I was not aware of at the time. The car was a 2-door with , I call canary yellow, but believe was known as crazy lemon yellow (supposibly a rare option) . It had a 383 with 4 speed shifter on the floor with Hurst shifter. The shifter had the white "pool cue ball" handle. This car came with bucket seats (which I found out was not standard) The rear axel was a Dana 60.
    I remember it being a Dana 60 because a neighbor of mine at the time was a mechanic and was drooling over that. I believe and I really can not remember anymore by I think the gears were described to me as 4.11 (correct me if I am close)
    Some years later, I saw my old car in Hot Rod magazine and they talked about the rare options it came with. I got sick in my stomach when I saw it was worth $80,000
    I bought this car for $300 at the time (imagine that) from a "shade tree" mechanic. I am not for sure about this but apparently the shade tree mechanc had done some sort of modification to the car. When I was buying the car, the guy told me when I was to race it that I was to tell others to give me some time to change out the rear tires. You see, the car came with these huge cheater slicks that are only for use on drag strips. That car was truly a sleeper for sure. A guy with a 70s Maverick wanted to race me and I did. He had a 351W with 3-speed and I beat him badly.
    At the time I had the fastest car in my county and even after all these years later, people still talk about that car.

I just don't understand WHY people do this, these aren't race engines or race cars, they're street cars and they need the choke! Then again.. The same truck I mentioned had all the brake lines rounded and chewy like someone used only pliers to try to do the brakes.

      @NuBz You must live somewhere there is no winter, maybe the magical land of California? Yeah you try starting a carbureted engine in below freezing weather without a choke. They exist because the air density changes with temperature making the fuel mixture too lean when it's cold out, causing hard starts or no start conditions. Science, look it up, unless that's considered blasphemy in your little corner of the Earth.
