The engine sits in my -74 Monaco HT. The car had last been started sometime during the summer. Battery´s done and no choke. And the gas they sell these days is worthless!
No choke makes a 440 hard enough to start. Add in the low battery and shitty quality gas... yeah, not easy. She caught successfully so many damn times too, but just wouldn't stay running.
***** either he bought and installed a carb that doesn't have a choke, or removed the choke from the already installed carb (maybe because it stopped working correctly). For some dudes it doesn't bother them that they have to go through a bit of a routine to get their engine going ;-). Not to mention it doesn't look like this car is driven daily, so cold weather may not be a factor.
FlickFlag Productions a chevy nomatter how long it setsif you put a new carb and a hot battary and some new gas it eill crank up and run the first time eveytime i knoe ive done it
matthew owens that’s a lie my 283 takes half an hour to fully start while holding the gas even with a new carb I’m sick of it so I’m getting rid of it, the manual choke won’t even help it it’ll die if you let off the gas no matter what the choke is set at
Awesome car. And it’s doing real good with the starter only cranking at half speed. I’m guessing with a full battery or a new starter it’d fire a lot easier. My days with carburettors are over, I’ll never go through that again but kudos to you guys doing it all original. Freaking GREAT car👍🏻
Id love to find an old Plymouth Fury highway patrol car with the 440 Interceptor. Makes an awesome sleeper with 4 doors and the plain steel wheels with poverty caps. Even with the 3.23 highway gears those big Mopar's would get out of the hole surprisingly quick. My grandfather was a NY State trooper so I got to ride in a few of those full size Dodge's and Plymouth's with the 440 when I was a kid. He would take it out on the back roads and do some monster burnouts 😆. Thats what first made me a Mopar guy and I still am 50 years later
Just love that idle please bring these days back 😞 I don’t want electric cars - and I’m speaking from someone who was born in 92 - I’m thinking of buying me a 440 long block and finding some old late 70s to early 80s Plymouth sedan or dodge - anything I can drop it in - if I’m lucky enough to find one and just roll with that. The newer cars we have now are amazing but not as exciting and cost a mortgage to drive every month
I hope you will find your engine and car! yeah it's really something else to drive these cars, compared to the stuff the car companies produce these days
@@alexandergronberg87 of course!! A n old heavy sedan with steel on both ends and having it as a project in my garage on the weekends beats owning any sort of hellcat - some of these young punks were shocked when a 93 all motor fox body smoked a hellcat challenger 😂😂
my aunt n uncle had the station wagon,now that was a beast to drive and fun especially pullin up to a light and gettin laughed at and when the green light hit i was gone and all u saw was tire smoke
Holy shit man...sounds like you need to back the timing off bout 10 degrees...sounds like it’s trying to kick back while starting. And it’ll always fire back thru tha carb and die till it’s set right
on carbed engines that sit for a while.... pull air cleaner.... dump gas in the carb and fill the bowls.... wont have to deal with 10 cranks for it to fire..... and agreed.... carbs dont like the shitty ethenol they put in gas today....
No not really normal. I had some electrical issues. But it was quite cold and I have no choke on that carb. Check out my newer video, there she starts much better.
I had to listen to this car fire up again LOL I have a 440 on the shop floor check out my video titled 440 good enough to use I converted my ignition system with a module to a GM HEI and used a high-performance 12 volt coil designed for late seventies Fords it works great it allows you to eliminate that 5 wire control module from the firewall now there's only one hot wire that's 12 volt
Timing iss waaayy too advanced id say by 10 degrees at least... Poor 400 .. Just back the timing down 6 or 7 degrees and watch how much better it will cold start. #MOPARORNOCAR
you rev it too soon... let it run for a second, even if its choppy. i start my truck without choke all the time... cant give it any gas for atleast a minute
It seams that the younger generation doesn't know how to start a cold engine without excessive starter grinding. Very sad but the old Mopar sounds great once started.
+MultiTechnicss Wrong. High performance sports cars need Super for certain mechanical reasons. However, putting Super gas in an ordinary engine is wasting money. There is absolutely no advantage to doing that.
Put a manual choke on and please use 100 avgas in that thing. If it hasn't been modified for this new Wesson oil gas-it'sgonna crap out on you. Been there-done that-it's costly. Shit-the new cars won't run on the pump gas today. Had a lot of problems. And it doesn't matter what brand you buy.

"Hit it"
We’re on a mission from god!

I’d be out there every morning trying to get to work like this. Worth it.
75' Plymouth Scamp. Broke as a joke. 225 /6. But I made it. I am still in my 20s too
Same!
Working on cars is the #1 dream job I want to be working for myself doing my own ideas
Thank You ! I'm like that in the morning too .........I spit and cough and fart a couple times then I'm good !!
hah :D nice one
So you're straight piped too? :D

Nice to hear from people who also know about the problems with these lovely old cars. Very nice
alexandergronberg87 I enjoyed hearing the old V8 cranking over and sputtering to start.
auaiao9 I agree, it is nice. Gives the car character and personality.

+atthegatesofurizen I bought this kind of "racing" carburator so it did not have a choke. This is a summer car, and I rarely start it when cold.
2:20 for the actual start

Thanks alot. Check out my newer video of the car, there it has a full battery.
alexandergronberg87 I just saw it. Real jealous. That’s a MAN’S car right there! Gets the heart going😎👍🏻
gotta love the sound of those mopar gear reduction starters
Yeahhh then all of a sudden the bad ass V8 fires up ohhhhh yeahh
Cody Davis wow that is such an awesome noise XD
Memory lane for sure.
Fix the cigarette lighter
Sweet car. Put an electric choke setup on that Eddy carb and back the timing off about 3 or 4 degrees and she’ll start much better.
It's a shine runner!! White Lightning forever!!
Love that sound. Guess I’m buying an old Chrysler with a 440 and straight piping it

I'm not a Chrysler fan but that big block does play the sweetest music !
damn no choke on a 440 lol, nice bluesmobile
I had headphones on and that first jump scared the shit out of me
😁👍
timing sounds off...maybe advanced to much?
Its ironic that they give you a ticket for loud exhaust. But this is a police car lol. Nice car man sounds great
Thank you

those are cool old engine I'm working on one right now I love the excitement of the first time you get to hear it pop off
Rusty Stuff yeah so true
i also have a real passion for these cars and engines,!
These 440's were called " Mustang Slayers " No Mustang could even come close to beating them in the quarter mile
Nice fact, thanks!
The new Bluesmoble.
my aunt n uncle had the station wagon,now that was a beast to drive and fun especially pullin up to a light and gettin laughed at and when the green light hit i was gone and all u saw was tire smoke
Pipes out of the quarters... Now that's cool...
A modern mini starter with a good battery would help. Ignition sounds like it has a lot of advance.
The the sound and those pants love camouflage
The title of this video should be let's try to guess when the 4:40 will finally keep running 2:18 you had me there for a minute
Would love to have seen this startup from the inside. Show us your boot on that gas pedal!
Love that 440 i bet it's a beast on the freeway
yeah you just love that torque
alexandergronberg87 that and the absolutely beautiful sound of that beast riddling my neighbors windows every time I drive down the street
Now go get them Duke boys!
Holy shit man...sounds like you need to back the timing off bout 10 degrees...sounds like it’s trying to kick back while starting. And it’ll always fire back thru tha carb and die till it’s set right
That's me trying to wake up for work in the mornin'
she's got a smaller that usual radiator there man. The Polaras and Chrysler Newports and New Yorkers had these wide radiators.
Yeah rebel yell, just love those stars bars and Mopars
Love that sound!! Yup, takes atleast a half hour for those motors to warm up, LOL. That would be my daily driver, drive the shit out of it, LOL.
"Mopar starters usually sound like a dying seal when they're healthy, and this one is definitely not healthy."
Starter is actually healthy, it was a grounding issue.
This is one of the best cold starts on YT lmao shits mean
Hey its the Blues Mobile
Did you fart when you picked up the camera at 3:10 ?
Sweet! Awesome job again. Love to see a burnout vid if you can lol
Rob Steves there is one on my channel!
this is why u need to put high test in your THANK no ethanol only premium starts better
on carbed engines that sit for a while.... pull air cleaner.... dump gas in the carb and fill the bowls.... wont have to deal with 10 cranks for it to fire..... and agreed.... carbs dont like the shitty ethenol they put in gas today....
fix that choke!!!! lol :)
Just to make sure, why did he say that nowadays gas is worthless?
Kamil Sopolski I would have to say.. ethanol..
Thanks Pal, it's sad that cars won't be like that one anymore :/
sounds good
+jlmoo1 #456 thanks
This must not have been a vehicle in The Blues Brothers cuz they would have been apprehended in the first scene
Hah nice one :D
is she alright? is that normal if the car is cold?
No not really normal. I had some electrical issues. But it was quite cold and I have no choke on that carb. Check out my newer video, there she starts much better.
@@alexandergronberg87 oh ok thanks
ethanol is killing your fuel pump. Get a modern OEM replacement, they use Viton for the membranes, which is resistant to ethanol.
The RUclips Phantom Official interesting, i will look in to that. Thanks

Some non-ethanol gas, Lucas fuel treatment about a full quart, and Lucas REAL octane boost, fuel problem solved.
1: Get a good battery, that is absolutely terrible for all components involved in the start up.
2: You have one might sounding 440. :D
My dad old 440wiuld only run on jet fuel try some,93octane gas and some check the feul gasket my be plugged up
Lucky bastard
Totally cool
also, set your idle up a couple hundred rpm

Clang clang...........shit!!
Classic Mopar start up. I also installed a more powerful starter. Still too a few times to turn over. 440 needs plenty of gas
Timing is off and adjust your carb, also sounds like a vacuum leak under the carb
Now that's what i call a good sound! Wow!
A. Zak thanks!
It's an old mt. Prospect police car, they were practically giving them away.
It's 106 miles to Chicago we have a full tank of gas half a pack of cigarettes it's dark and were wearing sunglasses......Hit it !!!
...wait for it....WAIT FOR IT!.....

I hope this is the police car they send after me I'll be 50 miles away before it starts 😮
Why the cops take so long to respond to a call 😂
Love where the exhaust exits!
Thanks. Got the idea from my boat

That looks like The Blues Brother Car.
Even it not starting sounds nice.
Run it at super ( gas ) better than ordinary gas..
+MultiTechnicss Wrong. High performance sports cars need Super for certain mechanical reasons. However, putting Super gas in an ordinary engine is wasting money. There is absolutely no advantage to doing that.
+Captain Obvious Not in the US of A . Who the hell taught you that ? Wrong
higher octane means better performance, to much and she'll run rich.
