I wish I'd had the foresight to save my Dad's '69 Fury WSP car. It made it to the mid 80's then was parked and sent to the crushers. Regrettably. The persuit 440 which had been long replaced by a 383 2bbl, went to my 68 SuperBee. I saved the front frame for a 51 Dodge pickup project which was never finished...ugh!

Nicely done man, great diagnosis of that thermoquad....yes corndog #2!

Drive it like you stolen it! Lol Those TQ are so darn cool. Had them one my 76 Cordoba, 79 dodge ram 4×4 360 4sd. Never f Had a problem with them . Maybe bc they weren't 35 years old yet at the time ... hmmm

That thing is awesome! My grandpa had a 1973 fury 2 PA state police undercover car. I wish I had that car today, he used to tell me cool stories about it, like ripping it the industrial park At 85 mph on his way in to work.

I think 🤔I liked the video, but I had trouble concentrating after I saw the red 68 300 fast top and the white 60 Chrysler two minutes in. 😁

Love the WWAaaaa sound those old 440 equipped dodges made. (Make).

Oh how I love listening to those secondaries.....

Even the immortal legends of Chrysler past can't escape decay.

I need this car in my life !!!💪💪

You have your A Body collection, your B Body collection, time for a C Body, clearly. That’s just math.

Great videos brother! Always entertaining 😁👏👏👏🍻

Great Super Troopers reference!

Back in 1973, purchased a 1971 Plymouth Fury 1 (I never knew they made anything but a Fury lll) Montana State Pursuit Interceptor. Had a 440, TF & Dana 60. NO power steering, no a/c, huge power disc brakes on the front. The tires were "Police Pursuit" certified. They were rock hard bias ply, rated for 150 mph. Was impossible to parallel park. Was told the Montana State Police didn't like power steering, because the cars were "twitchy" at high speeds. Plus, Montana highways are almost straight shots, anyway. Wish I still had it.

I love the passive aggressiveness with the field comments!!!! Lol love it!!!

Always looking forward to your next video. You definitely love your job, and your commentary, it's educational, and very entertaining. Thermoquad video would help me out, and yes I usually read the description, but after I watch the video. And now I need to check out what Tom puts out.

After VERY CAREFULLY reading your well-worded and useful description, I got comfortable, poured a drink, and watched the Directors Cut of "1973 Dodge Polara 440 Washington State Patrol Car!" I was enraptured. When you showed the timing sticker that is too damaged to read, I almost cried and could not turn away to see how it would turn out. When you finally drove the car, you were full of swagger and life without over-doing it like Logan Paul would have done. The only thing missing was a cat. I don't see how you can make a KZfaq video without having a cat in it. If you need a quote for the dust jacket of the DVD, here it is: "I modern and compelling twist on the ever-present theme of Man and Machine. The character of "gasket that probably needs repair" will surely win an oscar. The film made me walk out my door and hug my Crown Vic, telling it that I don't mind after all that it is not a Dodge.

Thanks for the C-Body fix!

Reminds me of Gator, White Lightning.

Great video thanks for sharing! Love old plymouth cop cars!

Therm-O-quad! I had a carb guru here in NC, "Mr. Clifton" at Raleigh Carb, fully go through & set it up...Mike's Carb Parts is in Washington near you, too...

I'm glad this WSP C-body is still.around. At one time, these big-block WSP cars were getting auctioned cheap, great swap material for Mopar cars, trucks, and 4x4's. Not that many to begin with, probably very few survivors left now.

You have an extremely rare car to say the least!

I am looking forward to a thermobog video. I need to work on mine thats attached to my 1980 Grand Fury MN state patrol car. I want the thermoquad to sing its beautiful song.

You need a trooper hat for when you drive that, it completes the look. LOL

Thanks Jamie

Awsome car, I'm digging the blues mobile

There are so many parts of this video that I like, but I don't have time to mention them. (insert personal story here) My first 5 cars were all Mopars, and all F8 green... a color I despise to this day. My father told me to never bring another green car in his driveway. No problem. I was unhappy about the green too. So I bought a '75 Fury ex-police car. It had a 400 engine with a Thermoquad, and it wasn't green. Nope. It was painted an awful tattletale blue. My dad hated it worse than the green, so he named it Mr. Ugly. The moral of the story? Don't put ketchup on scrambled eggs. Anyway, you didn't have time to do more work on that ex-police Mopar, because my story is so long. Speaking of which, here is a bonus story! I had a bad Thermoquad addiction those days, and I fixed my Thermo-bog by hooking up a spare vacuum dash switch from an air-grabber car, to the vacuum pod on the carb that disconnects the secondaries when the engine is cold. I could just mash the gas pedal without brake-torquing, and it would smoke the tires! Just flip the switch when you want the secondaries back in action. I'm cured now, thanks to years of therapy and meds. But, I will never remove the Thermoquad from my lawnmower!

It's gotta cop motor a 4 hundred and 40 cubic inch plant, cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It was a model made before catalytic converters, so it 'll run good on regular gas. Lol

You can definitely see where the Australian Valiant got it's ideas for the VH model from XD

Absolutely 💯 love 💖 these old , C bodies , former Police 🚔 cars , Content !! I'm getting a better understanding why , thermoquads are a bit , Erroneous and intermittent 😒 Please , more C bodies 🙏

C bodies forever 😎

You can probably get away with cruising with that light bar if the blue and red lights were replaced with a single yellow one in the center. And of course never turning on the yellow one except in the parking lot at car shows. I think taking it off was the right thing, but some guys want to keep it's copinesse as high as possible.

Thx J

I have like 3 or 4 TQ's sitting in various spots around my house, I plan on sending some more goodies your way soon and may include one or two carbs lol.

Good info on the Thermoquad. I would have been curious to see the dash. up close. It appears to have either a radio delete panel or a dash face that has a smooth face on the upper right. Also, there is an opening for a clock. I was wondering if a clock was in it.

Cool cop car. Dig the no beard clean look.

Cool old cop car!👍

Great car, great video! I love cop cars. I especially like the FL ones that were 2-door posties (a '60 Savoy 2-door TX pursuit car recently came up here on the cheap, though hammered and missing a lot of vital stuff). My first car *should* have been a '73 Monaco 2-door with a 400, but my pops refused to sell it to me. He wound up trading it in for peanuts on some Chevy wagon, and I'm still working on forgiving him for it. OT, I've heard you mention that you've kinda wanted a road toad (among a million other Mopars). There's one on the cheap right now on Tucson CL (auto parts). I found it while surfing for Slant stuff. Of note, many of my bad ideas have begun with surfing CL with my morning coffee. ☕🤔😆🤣

Mother had a 77 fury cop car,440,dual exhaust, damn thing cornered like a go kart. If you kept your toenails out of the thermo quad it would get 17 miles to the gallon. I know,hard to believe.

They tune it up before testing it so it runs and performs well Jamie sir lol

I need this car so bad.

C body goodness…they’re growing on me..slowly

I drank my beer too fast I’m outta time n video ended i really dislike thermo quads im gonna get another beer n a corn dog 😂

Great Job! 👍👍 Can you please tell me how you fixed the dip stick leak? I have tried everything I can think of on my 87 Dodge W250 grrrrrr😩

Here's an idea: what if some aftermarket performance company started reproducing those phenolic plastic center sections for Thermoquad carburetors? I mean it's that center section that goes bad on like, well, everyone that I've ever seen that was unusable, especially on the secondary jet well caps. But boy if you find/have one that isn't cracked or broken anywhere, you've got one of the best carburetors ever produced,,, and take care of it, don't let it get water from moisture and let it sit outside in weather below freezing because, well... Ok, I'm done. Lol.

I always wanted to find a '74. If you have to ask why, you've obviously never seen "The Blues Brothers".

I heard the guy that founded Carter carburettors even spoke with a stutter

I wonder if that was the same problem I was having with a remanufactured Carter AVS 4640S carbreurator I bought for my '69 Dodge Charger R/T with the 440. I had a whistle noise too and no matter what I did to adjust it, it wouldn't adjust the idle at all and ran very lean. I installed the old worn out Carter AVS and it ran fine.

Yeah I never had a c body but a cop car would be cool

I have 2 Cbody but no real cop car but still fun cars

As I have said before I actually like the original Carter AFB and avs series carbs not so much the Edelbrock versions of the AFB I have had several issues with them have not gotten to try the avs series 2 carbs, and I like the thermoquad and the quadrajet carburetors and as most people say they are a Rochester design and in several Mopar and gm vehicles and that is actually wrong both are originally a Carter design, owned and then sold to Rochester carburetion company and they patented it immediately...

🍺

That '73 Polara Police Pursuit Car is Awesome, had one like it years ago, ran moonshine in that car!!! How much could I get it for??? Mopar Nate Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Hey, Jamie, is all that police car equipment, numbers matching? Lol

I had a 2 barrel Stromberg that was untunable. The shaft for the butterflies was worn out amd causing a vacuum leak.

I'd greatly appreciate a thermoquad video. I have a thermoquad and could never get it to tune correctly. It drives me nuts.

That's a Buford Pusser machine.

At 6:45 the PVC to the Carb hose has a slit/cut in it, potential vacuum leak?

So why so few E bodies bro? Just asking because I have one and rarely ever see them on KZfaq. Could you explain why.

Swap in a Holley or Edelbroken

Any for sale?

I have a good rear door off of a 73 Plymouth fury

waaaa WAAA!!!!

Get it full throttle with lease

It has the older truck style kickdown linkage….that you didn’t cover …haaaaaaaa

Thermoquad sucks. I use holly duel pumper. Had 440 and 400 engines. 1972 and 1973 good years. The 400's crankshaft thrust bearing was worn from to many fast take off. You could move the crank back and forth almost a 1/4 inch. Cars like this will never be made again.

4:35 Nobody wants Karen attention. Do you even HAVE a manager?

Gday ppl, when we wus kids the rumours were pursuit cars were Balanced and all that shit , it was lies yeah ? Cheers mate luv ya work.
