- I've had some requests for a Mopar revival on the channel so I picked up the cheapest vehicle I could find on an estate auction. Let's see if this 1977 Dodge Monaco 2 door with a 360 V8 engine will run after sitting since 1989!

Unsubstantiated rumor has it that the Ocean Pacific Bikini Team shows up to rub Duff's tummy in this episode. I've got my fingers crossed that is true, because I'm trying to cleanse my eyes from seeing Puddin' in a pair of overalls with no shirt.
Yeah, the weather didn't hold off or they were gonna show up.
@@MortskeRepair first lmfao. And I think it’s a spot on your glasses. That’s a great one!
@@MortskeRepair dude.....vaccum it first...we want you around and not ......dead from henta
do you ever make any of the cars run
Yep. cause this show is al about bikinis. Go Duff.
Hearing the Mopar starter brought back memories of my dad working on the motor and carb on their 1978 Dodge van. Such a unique sound.
Hopefully he got his running better than this one!
That sound is very unique to MOPAR! Reminds me of when my dad was working on all his '91-'96 Dakota pickups he ever owned.
@@thunderray1987 Yes sir! Reminds me of my 1983 Dodge Ramcharger with the same LA360 and A727 trans.
@@thunderray1987 and I used to hear it QUITE a bit because although my truck ran like a dream, after driving it for about 30 minutes it would vapor lock and wouldn't start again until you put either some gas or ether down the carb and then it would start and run like nothing happened...good old Carter Thermoquad...I hated that carb! I swapped my Ramcharger to a 360 Magnum after a fuel tank swap and an upgraded fuel pump. It was a wiring nightmare!
Hydraulic lifters not pumped up on them? Just a guess
My dad bought a new 67 Monaco 2dr with the 383 4 bbl - race red with black vinyl top..i wired in a new 8 track with the Bass 48 speakers in that baby and spent my high school years looking for ladies that smoked!!...most awesome machine ever made!!!
She smokes, she pokes!
@burningfeet 53 i didnt get any highschool experiences in either car you mentioned..your statement was comparing apples to oranges anyway...its replies like yours that remind me not to comment on utube anymore
Those are cookie cutter cars you must be a casual
@ Mortske did you know Mopar has a meaning?
Made
Of
Paper
And
Rust.
Best acronym ever lol
49:43 Duff heard it run and quickly returned expediting to go for a R-I-D-E
Love that never quit attitude on the mopar. Mortske you are a dangerous man. Keep an eye on him Duff.
Congrats on doing a Mopar! A couple things: Always check the fluid on a Torqueflite with it running in neutral. The pump doesn't pump in park. The AC compressor looks like a York but it's a Chrysler-built RV-2. I think that's a Holley 2245 carb. Lucky it didn't have Lean-Burn...they definitely had it by '77 but not in everything. Mopars are a little different...people tend to be scared of them for some reason.
Listen to tyler if you want mopar info and helpful advice mortske sir tyler's forgotten car rescue knows his mopar stuff another awesome channel!! And CZcamsr..
My uncle wanted me to buy his old Diplomat with a 318 lean-burn and I really wanted it, but I passed on it. Now I wish I'd have bought it because I'd LOVE to have a nice stock domestic with maybe an exhaust and nothing more. I'm tired of these new tin-can crap cars.
causa they cheapo timing sets mopar put in em lol
Hey love your video. Here is a old timer trick I learned 35 years ago at the race track and it's still a great trick. Take ten feet of yellow ski rope lower the piston to bottom of cylinder put as much of the rope in the cylinder as you can get then rotate piston until you lock the engine you can remove the spring on the valve and rotate valve or hook a pair of vice gripes to it and move up and down I have replaced broken springs between races before
Don't give up on Monica so easy - she would be a good runner!
monica didnt put out ion the first date but she worth a second
Get it started, then trickle some MMO or ATF down the carb to get some lube onto the valve stems. Mixing a little 2-stroke oil into your gas supply will help.
For a cart that has been standing around for 32 years , it still looks pretty good
All through my childhood my grandfather has a 1977 Royal Monaco. It was a huge 4 door with a 360. Sky blue with blue vinyl inside. He repainted it in the late 90s and instead of replacing the vinyl roof he painted the roof royal blue. When I was like 5 years old I used to sit on that little middle front seat with no seat belt every drive. I still to this day have never seen another 77 royal monaco in person. Nice video thanks!!
I just spent 82 minutes watching a Mortske & Duff video when I should have been working. Please don't tell my boss. ¡Viva la revolución!
You're gonna get that promotion now!
I personally would like to see more content on this one! Clean her up and make it a daily... she ain't so ugly.
Yeah go upscale and get those 29.99 lace on seat covers. And some shag carpeting
ADD large sliding Moon roof,then use for Spotlighting Shooting RIG?
It deserves a burn out ha ha
You know a vehicle is mint when it’s picked up with those centennial plates on it! What a hell of a find!
Electronic ignition module is the box to the far left on firewall and the other one is the voltage regulator. Also 72 was the first year for electronic ignition for mopar.
Yep and got lucky and avoided the lean burn system as well.
@@SophiaAphrodite yeah. I believe that started in 1976
I think Mr. Mortske is the only person left with an old Tube TV in the background.
Definitely not. There's tons of tube tvs that still work ive got 3 one is a 1960 Zenith.
Maybe someday we'll upgrade!
My grandpa would disagree
@@matthewshaw9078 I relate to that generation! Now if only I could find my "clicker"...
I got 2. I still have those old school PC monitors as well. I do have an HDTV though because I wanted a more movie experience.
Yeah you’re right 1977 is the first year for the stacked headlights for both Monacos/Furys and for the Cordobas was 1978.
Taking it apart is easy, remembering how to put it back is where the real fun begins. Slide hammer to remove the push rods, genius.
Nice. Car
Not a huge Dodge fan in general, but that's a fairly unique car. It would be nice to see how it cleans up and drives with a little more time investment. Look forward to another episode with the Monaco.
I had a 77 dodge charger daytona that I gave a guy a case of beer for. It was a running driving no rust car with a 360 2 barrel carb. It was a really nice cruising car.
"was"?
What happened?
@@SummonerArthur I drove it for a few years or so, until something gave out in the engine. That was pretty much the last of it for me.
@@scottwright388 oh, thats sad, but at least you had fun with it!
@@SummonerArthur yes indeed, I wish I still had it. I paid the least for some of the best cars I've owned.
Just a tip....but always pull the sparkplugs in an old engine and put some type of oil in the cylinders for a day or two before turning over. Marvel mystery oil works well. Just dry cranking it like that is a sure way to break a ring for no reason. After that...spin it over without plugs in it to get some oil pressure up.
Very nice, could have stayed GM and picked up the Opel Manta next to it in the field 😂😂
I didn't know there was so much of an Opel following!
@@MortskeRepair there isnt, or it wouldnt be sitting there
@@brianfairchild7819 They actually sold pretty high!
I'd love to see that Manta, run!! Old girl friend had one.. Was fun to drive!!
@@brianmaynard7320 Her or the Manta?!?
I am soooo Happy you gave that much effort into this beauty. I am a 100% Mopar Head and although the slander used throughout got me to the edge lol Good job Mortske!
Sorry for the slander!
@@MortskeRepair haha!
Sears stamped them as 'used' tires is just very funny!!
Can't think of a better way to start the week. Thanks Duff. Oh and you too Mr. Mortske!
1977 Dodge Monaco. Simply put those three words soothe the soul
They do until you own one Grant!
@@MortskeRepair haha. Yea I can see ownership being very different
1973 and up most Mopars had electronic ignition , Duff needs a bath after getting inside of the car. 😂😂😂
Happy Mopar Monday with Mortske!!!!!
Duff don't care how whipped they sound... you get em fired up he's ready for a R.I. D.E.
love that dog
I waited and waited and just as the premier was stating my aunt phoned me!! So now I am going to watch the rerun. I am doing my own will it run- I bought a treadmill! (I think I am going to be a ford if you catch my drift!!)
Good luck with the treadmill!
Great episode again!!! Love the longer ones. Not a MOPAR fan but you and Duff are always entertaining 👍🏻👍🏻
Dodge Monaco??? Never even knew that had existed. Thanks for that Mortske. Love it!
Keep that one going if possible those cars are getting hard to find.
I am thinking that we should all encourage Mortske to pull the motor and rebuild it . Also Mort We need more COWBELL on the music you have ..
I don't need no encouragement!!
LOL You say NO, but your heart says yes
Drooling here , with the Christine's sister and now her granddaughter , really appreciate the content more please Sir
Good job anyways! You brought it to life after over 30 years. Keep rocken!
Alright 360 overhaul beautiful!!!
0:36 Nice Opel "A" Manta, next to the Dodge Monaco
That's the one I'd go for!
Just finished a marathon session watching, I don’t even remember how many of your videos. I liked them so much I subscribed!!!
Welcome aboard!
Love the new intro! Been looking forward to this for a couple of days.
Glad you like it!
I love these mid to late 70's Mopars! So I say yes to working on getting it running and driving good again. Make it a decent daily driver too with some mild interior clean up. Don't even bother restoring the car to showroom condition. Just make sure it's a good driving car again. It can still be an awesome car with all the mechanical things working as they should.
I do as well like late 70s mopars and 80s ones too
I wish in the UK we had cars laying around like this, unfortunately we have none as all have been crushed to make coke cans.
Also, I'll get some sammichs ready in my tractor cab ready to watch this!
No Coke. Pepsi!
Sadly the last time scrap prices went nutso , a couple yards near here crushed well over 400 older intact cars , lots of biggie blocks of all makes went bye -bye
Used to drive this vintage for taxi cabs in central NH when I was 18. Slant 6, 318, 360, they took what you gave 'em. There's hope for this one. Don't give up! She sounds good enough to fix. No smoke that I could see. Stomp on ah and let ah have it.
That car brought back some good memories of my high school days in the 80’s. My buddy’s dad was a car salesman at a Dodge dealer in Detroit. He brought one of them home for a demo. My buddy and I took it out and did brake torques half the night. Thanks man love your videos and definitely love Duff!
Haha sounds like a good time!
Seems like a cool car. Runs decent for having a couple stuck valves.
Nothing wrong with Mopar Trans Just a lack of knowing how to set them up👍
Keep working on it and show the process in detail. One of the most exciting battles on the chanell ever!!
The plastic shrapnel you pulled out of the top end is what remains of the valve guide seals. Chrysler's tend to just explode when they get old.
Ahh nice!
I didn't even know they made 2 door versions of these cars until recently.I saw a Plum Crazy purple, Plymouth Fury version for sale locally few weeks ago, first one I had ever saw. I tried to get Dylan McCool to buy it since we're only a couple hours apart, but I don't think he did, looking forward to seeing you get this one going.
Yeah, they're definitely not a very common body style.
75 road runner body look it up
@@kenpettis1961 last of the B body road runners
Monica living up to her name, she really blows!! Hahaha!! Had me rolling bro!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great way to start the week! Thanks Mr. Mortske, and Duffer!🥶
Haven't even made it to the 5 minute mark and I love it. Monaco's were way cooler than people remember.
Sure are!
I've never really seen a Monaco before. It's a really nice looking car. I even like the paint job on that one.
They’re around you just gotta keep your eyes open for them.
Never seen a Monaco before...? Not even with a cop motor in it? ....and cop tires with a cop radio s d special cop suspension...like Joliet Jake and Elwood used to drive?
Hasn’t been alive for very long.
AWESOME intro Mortske! love it!
Glad you like it!
Great job on getting the Monaca running..You have a great talent at getting those ole cars up and running.
Love watching you and Duff hang out in the garage. I'm on a list for a Brittany pup.
Great dogs!
By the way, Mortske has the best revivals!!
Nice ride man! Looks like a daily in the making to me
I am hooked on your videos most of the stuff you get running is from when I was high school or before. I can almost smell the hot engine oil keep up the great videos. Do a GTO 64 -69 that would really bring back some fine memories.
Dangg! .. Good show Mortske.. A guy sure is getting spoiled with all these awesome restoration channels..
I'm impressed. You got her running. I'm sure that's the good ol lean burn era. They are kinda rare and it isn't in all that bad of shape. I had a 75 fury. It is basically the same car. It had a 318. They are kinda fun to drive. Its worth some more work. Someone out there might want it more than you. They do kinda have a following. Good job on getting it going.
Yep growing up well I was in highschool, my uncle had a lower mileage unmolested 75 plymouth sport fury custom 2dr. 318 2bbl,had almost identical interior to mortske 's car
@@richardbates2367 Cool, that is what mine was. Dark metallic green with velour seats. All green. I don't think mine had a 727 torcflight. I think it was a 904. At that time I had a 73 dodge pickup. D100. I ended up pulling of the 2bbl off the truck which had a 318 too. Then putting that carb on the fury and the fury carb on the truck. I rebuilt them both. The truck carb worked well on the fury and the truck wasn't as picky as the fury so worked out good for me. When I got that fury in 1991 it still had the fuel restrictor on it mounted off the alternator between the fuel pump and carb. Then it had the fuel wasting light on the left marker light. It had a white vinyl top. It had those noisy overload springs. Must have been a towing package. It had maybe just under 100k. Good car. I had it until 99 and someone stole it. Never saw it again. Thanks your reply took me back in time.
@@chrisolson968 ,his was light grey with the same maroon interior
I had a 76 Cordova with that body style.
It had a 360, and would bury the speedometer ...
It's a cordoBa.
Love that car. Definitely want to see more of this one
We had a brown Mopar named "Toad". It had electronic ignition and never ran right with it.
Once I replaced the distributor with a points jobby it ran great!
Haha sometimes you just gotta stick with what ya know! Toad! What a great name!
Can not hardly wait Love your Videos always Good Time
Glad you like them!
Duff likes to ride no matter how stinky it is. I enjoy whatever you work on...Good luck.
Demolition derbys were fun at the time but boy I effed up some good cars over the years!! And buses!!!
Chrysler products from the mid-70's. Barfsville! And that pile only stayed on the road for 12 years. Mid-70's was when I learned to drive, but I have no fond memories of those smogged, carburated beasts. Had a '79 Aspen that ran like garbage at only 20K miles and the interior was falling apart too. Was nice to hear the old Mopar starter sound though.
P.S. - Mortske could be a mechanic in Cuba. He can get almost anything to run.
I bet Cuba is nice this time of year!
Look at you with the new opening!
That's what I was thinking, the man is getting fancy with his high production opening and such.
Like the new intro now looking cool I also prefer the longer vids although the Monaco had other ideas, can we see some of your own collection of cars? 👍👍👍 Duff rules!
Glad you like them!
Bed sheet gas tank give you any ideas
Damn, Duff looks like a brand new man, good thing its warming up!!
Mortske: you must have gotten
“Dodge Fever”!
Great and interesting content.
I really like the way you analyze the problem/situation first.
Cheers
Glad you enjoy my shenanigans!
Every time I watch I learn something your perseverance is something to aspire to
Glad we taught ya something! I dunno bout perserverance. Maybe just too dumb to quit?
Use lithium grease in a spray can for those door hinges and hood hinges.
I love that you use pop culture references! I do that myself & nobody ever knows what I am saying. If you are looking for other reference material for 106.38 I suggest a scene from Dirty Mary Crazy Larry where Larry asks the mechanic how he got the car to run so well & he replies" I hit it with a bigger hammer".
haha I haven't watched that one enough!
Great content as usual, enjoy going back to view some of the earlier videos, all the best for the channel
Thanks Robert!
This should be a great starter for the week.
Well now you just jinxed it and I"m gonna have to fix the starter!
Fix the Monaco pls and fitt headers cam and polish them rims on it
I love your work
@@farouksydow4714 Well you know we don't do headers around here!
Premieres in 31 hours at 6:00 AM. Thanks youtube.
Love the way the engine sounds even after all those years of neglect 😍
So much work, appreciate it. Great entertainment!
Don't let Monica get the better of ya hang in there and make her daddy proud
Another good video! U always can tell it’s a Mopar by the sound of that starter! Thanks for sharing 😎👍
Sure can!
You know it's good when it has those old rug style seat covers!
Only the finest!
Well look, you bought it. I really appreciate the video and documentation. But when you had the carb off the first time and didn't go through it i felt your heart was just not into it. And the the valve i felt you would not pull the head. And there you go. Not a bad ride or bad shape but you gotta be a MoPar dude to put your heart and time into the project. Try to find a real MoPar guy and get your money out it. Then pick another trash heap and try again. You make great videos and Duff Dog is a sweety. Keep it alive, I ain't dead yet! Dennis
Next you will be hauling back delta 88s or LTD’S
One can only hope!
Hell yah, ‘73 delta 88 coupe. 455. Last of the interceptors. Or something.
@@BillLaBrie Oooooohhh yeah!!
@@BillLaBrie I had a 2dr. 73 Olds 88 in 1978. Just a 350 2bbl turbo400 No air didn't care it being a hardtop. It never let me down and girls liked it too.
In 79 had a 73 delta 88 the action that car saw
Make it turn over again the hard way. Really like your Videos you spend a lot of time on old forgotten machines. There are not many people around who pay any attention on these Ladys with their glitter turns over in a big layer of dust. Greetings from Germany.
Thanks for watching in Germany!
It’s unusual for me to see all the flat land and no hills. If you’re ever on the Oregon coast let me know!✌️
Aww yeah !!! A guys got to get his sandwiches ready...
Breakfast of champions!!
@@MortskeRepair did he have any thing from the 50s or 60s for sale
You mean Sammiches
@@clevelandmaker386 no
That one looks nice 🤣
Nothin but the finest round here!
Especially for the Rust Belt
Sweet stacked headlight design
She's a beauty ! We had a '77 Newport with a 400 lean burn. It was a big heavy turd, but, It got us around. It had a miss we couldn't figure out, so we sold it, cheap.
Keep going through it. You've gone this far, and you are so close. You don't see those cars every day, so it's worth fixing. I enjoy seeing you fix vehicles that are less common, or that I don't know anything about. You do a very good job of explaining things, and I enjoy learning about cars I have never seen before, like this one. I'm a 100% self taught mechanic, and unfortunately there are certain things that I have not been able to teach myself thus far. I just learned through trial and error working at a junkyard. I successfully revived 11 classic cars working there, and we were able to resell them. So I like I said, I enjoy seeing some of your more challenging revivals, because I seem to learn a lot from them. I would love to see you do some dedicated videos explaining how certain parts work, and how to properly rebuild, diagnose, and/or tune them. It would be invaluable to me. But anyway, this is a beautiful car, and i would like to see it run again with the original drivetrain. When I am working on something, I keep it original unless I have to change it.
Glad you enjoy them and are learning some things! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Sir I like your work ethic and the fact that you don't use colorful words. I'm a mechanic myself and I've brought many old cars back to life. Mopars can be cantankerous when they want to be. The firing order is similar to GM'S Buick, Chevrolet, Oldsmobile and Pontiac V8's. The initial ignition timing must be set to TDC otherwise the engine can run hot. As you found out the valves are non adjustable. A complete rebuild is probably your best bet here. Anyway keep up the gr8 work you and Duff.
Ty for the vid and for all you and Duff do :)
I’m convinced you could fix anything and it’s always worth remembering that there’s nothing a check book can’t fix
im amazed you got that ole stuck nopwer goin it was fun lookin forward to the next Mortske monday
Fix it. Those old 70's cars are going to be collectable. People love driveing the cars from their youth brings back good memories
i love how duff was about to roll in the inside like ahhhhhhh yeaaaaaaaaahh the stench of destiny
Beautifull 70’ years! Good car! Perfect! 👍🤘😍
Great video! I love watching this channel. It’s good content!!👍🏻
Glad you enjoy it!
