WHY WOULD YOU SELL IT!?

@@badjohnny6599 Maby there is a women and,,,,,,,,,,?

@@Timodon1 No woman is worth that (I'm only partly joking)

sold my 69, 440 six pack when gas went to a dollar a gallon, also got married a week later.

Army friend had a 69 GTX 440 with 3/4 cam. 100% hell raiser.

There NEEDS to be fuel in the fuel line. He turned the key b4 the electric pump was finished bringing the fuel line up to pressure. Some ppl fight themselves? idk.

If it has a carburetor it has a choke. Most likely by 1968 it was electric. All carbs of that era also had an accelerator pump. This was a small half dollar sized rubber diaphragm at the carb which added a small squirt of fuel when you mashed the pedal and would prevent a momentary lean condition that would cause the engine to hesitate. The reason carbureted engines take so long to catch on a cold start is the is no fuel pump at the tank like on a modern fuel injected engine. The fuel pump was mechanical and mounted on the engine block and typically took more than a few cranks to supply sufficient fuel pressure to the carb. Pumping the gas would allow for quicker starts because you would be able to richen the mixture with the squirt from the accelerator pump.

Yes just pump the crap out of it .

Most have never started an "old" motor. Like grandma's ride ten years after she couldn't drive no mo

@@Cj-yw8cs 1965 Dodge slant six pickup?

$9 a *GALLON* for some 29w50? That's cheaper than dirt, where are you getting this?

Not on this car. This ding dong removed the choke plate and choke.

Guy's been raised on electronic ignition and fuel injection. With a t-shirt ain't COLD start. Try -35 cold start with points and mechanical fuel pump, crankcase oil thicker than molasses. Tranny/rear-end at 90w. Smoke the clutch just get rolling(ok maybe a little too much but not far off)

@@cheagle464 Sounds exactly how I have my vette setup. Previous owner claimed the car was broken since it would take forever to start. Once I dialed in the valves and setup the carb correctly she starts within 1/2 a second of the key turning. Mechanical fuel pump as well. Lost art.

@Phuck Censorship my r/t 440 4sp always died 1/2 way thru 3rd gear, at w.o.t. Mechanical fuel pump, Edelbroc single plane intake, Holly 650 cfm double pumper , Mallory dual-point dist. 3.54 posi, N50-15 tire All the demand, would drain the factory fuel line. It took about 5 minutes to refill itself. A buddy's 454 4sp chevelle always did the EXACT same thing. ➡I bought half inch fuel hose. Never installed, cuz ➡I needed that "governor" to shut me down. ➡Speedo gear wasn't right. Guestimated speed 70 mph way too fast in town... Careful guys, a 440 dart (local) burn out ...lost control, hit ppl on the sidewalk.. Careful plz don't let all that horsepower overtake your brain power.. I mean that.

adjusted for inflation that's about $25k new!

Right on, fellow boomer. Those were the days!

Can i get just a human voice mute.....ITs blasphemy to mute a BB.

Like my 69and half 440 6 barrel with A12 package this guy is just a rich kid showing his ignorance .

Right it is great that younger generations 'like' these cars, but right they don't know much about them and spread a lot of bs of various kinds.

I had a '67. Blue with white seats, 4 speed. It was my 1st car in '77 bought for $500 from a garage. I replaced the blown 440 with a used '70 383 Roadrunner motor. Wish I had it now I could buy a house. Would do 140. Fastest car I've ever driven.

And I rememver when *I* had *my* first beer.

I currently have a black 68 RT myself. Bought it my senior year 1991

love my 440. 10-1 aluminum heads, headers, 3" pipes, flowmaster super 44's cutoff in front of axle. 3:91 sure grip giggady. 4mpg. yeah. i know. its worth it.

It's the factory molar camshaft Other makers shoulve duplicated the cam grind.

You can tell it's a mopar just by listening to the starter..mopar guys know this

The lopiest cams in existence! Love it!

pretty sure 440/6 pack was an option

Chris Friedman Nope, in 1969 mid way the A12 package was released with the 440 six barrel engine. This car had the lift off hood . The 440 4 barrel was never an option in a roadrunner other than the Superbird until 1972 when it was part of the GTX option, after the GTX stopped being its own model. .

@@c12friedman 68 was 383 and 426 hemi only in 1969 it was 383 and 426 hemi until the mid year A12 option which was the 440 6BBL fiberglass lift off hood steel wheels redline tires and a Dana 60 rear

You are correct.

You are right no 440's till the A12

Lmfao 😂

no shit right 🤜🤛shseeeeessss

Also fender blinkers, rear trunk facia and right side sport mirror.

There were no 440s in 68 road runners. It was a 383 with 440 heads and cam. Buckets were not an option and the stick he has is out of a 70. Still have window sticker to mine. April 1968. Performance axle group sure grip, decor group,am radio. $3237.30. Traded in a 62 falcon that you had to push start and it was out the door $2655. The 440 showed up in 69 with the A12 option. 3 2bbl, alum intake,dana 60 with a 4.10 and fg lift off hood. About $ 3800.

This guy is an idiot. Has no idea what he’s talking about! My built 67 Dart with a 440 was a daily driver, had no problems starting and driving anywhere.

@@roberthuttleIt took forever but I spotted a right side mirror for my 69 charger. On a wrecking yard Dart. Rare! 15 bux.

@@rogerf7229 I have the fender blinkers and left/right side sport mirrors on my 68 Roadrunner. Nice options

Plus they weren't $2200 with $150 upcharge for the hemi. Way off there.

You r correct.

Yo Lee Duke y'all bent my ride up but good jumpen the river that 1 episode.🚗 Our local car tabs licensing agency Owners...have a vintage "convertible Charger" with a Coronet Top" nice (yes Understood Sacrilege) I saw a carCraft magazine long ago doing that EXACT "modification".

413

My 68 was converted prior to me buy it In 75 to a Hurst 3sp racing auto shifter on floor. Car had bench seat , white . A set of 440 heads with a racing cam, 4.11 rear-end made it a missile.

... but he needs to realize he knows very little about these cars. He should listen to us 'old' guys who know these things inside and out before he makes up his own facts. This car is SO far from factory it's not even funny, and a 500+ 'stock' 4bbl 440? Nope.

BS

Was the 69 a 440 Torqueflight, how did it run?

They were all 383 motors. The 69 developed a rod knock shortly after I got it. I replaced that motor with the motor out of the rollover . After that it ran great.

Its not a hemi

Was hunting comments to see if anyone else caught the 440 thing. It was also about a grand to get the hemi back then, not 150 bucks.

@@markl2761 Roadrunner with 440 came in mid 1969 as the A12. In 1968, 383 and 426 were the only options.

I worked for Chrysler Corp when this car came out. No 440 engine until 69 in a RR and this was a 440 6 pack. That's a fact.

I don't know why he said the 440 was a numbers matching motor . He should know that mopar guys would know what came in these cars.

@@markl2761 No 68 RR 440!...GTX, 440, yes!

Both had identical cylinder heads 906 weather on 383 or 440 station wagon engine or Magnum

You are definitely correct no 440 and 68 had to opt for GTX

My 68 was early with B post , bench seat, auto on column was converted to RACING HURST 3 sp auto on floor. 383 With 440 heads race cam and 4.11 posi Trac rear-end made it a missile. Low 11s

The 383 magnums had 440 heads and other goodies but the wedges were good too. My friends 70 RR had a bench seat with a 3 speed on the floor. No ps,pb or anything but very, very fast.

That trunk trim was added on mid. year..the late 68s came with it

Yepppp, should have a bench seat, 426, and it most certainly wasn’t $2,200 😂 with $150 upcharge lmao guys a clown

I bought a 68 RR in 1989. I paid 4,000$ US. it had a 383.

Lol, saw that too, in addition he says the 440 is matching #s, which was not available in 68 RRs. Then states the price of the car was $2200. which it was around $3000. Also says the hemi option was around $150. when it was around $700. Aside that he knows how to drive a manual, he really doesnt know much about the car.

Why is it on "race fuel"? Is it built in such a way that it won't run without that level of octane?

@@ToyKingWonder pre-,ignition, fuel gonna burn or ignite before the spark of the plug.

I can understand 1 or 2 mistakes but n today with net it's so easy and fast to check the validity of your script,he could with subtitles or graphic to correct the wrong claims because overall it's good or ask by email the fans to check the script especially Chrysler fans or one model lovers. As for those who witness that unique era so great and had a permanent place in your memory before emission regulations ,computer for fuel efficiency etc...it was the end! Only choice for performance was a motorbike and two stroke for smaller engine but replaced by 4 stroke for same motive,Sure today small high performance car import who won that market share and well built and dependable and great handling unlike similar American counterpart won't last as long not as dependable! that 55 mph who is almost standard in america ,so slow nobody focus on the road, I remember 90mph limit even 100mph from friends going 120 mph radar operators gave a 20% margin and fined at 121 mph

Pullin 500hp out of a 440 rebuild is pretty easy.

Was it a Muncie 4 speed? Did you ever race any 69 Firebirds or 67 Goats?

Actually the big block 454's LS6 .. L88 427's and the 396's did. Unless you had the Dart GTS ..

@@styga1969 WRONG, the LS6 wasn't even introduced till '70 so if you're gonna reply KNOW YOUR FACTS

Cam, headers, intake, carb and you have it. So either he's clueless and running 100 octane because he thinks its cool or someone did a shitty job building that motor. Lol

Check out his Instagram posts, it's all about his cars. He is a racer in irvindale event center and winning some of the race. He knows what's he is talking about. He lives and breathe it. His daily insra story is all about dissecting his cars with some car enthusiasts and experts.

He has no clue what he's talking about on his " numbers matching" car either ... There was only 2 engines available in a 68 roadrunner. 383 was standard and the 426 hemi was optional ( which was a $700+ option ... not $150 like he stated ) This car has a 70 pistol grip shifter and the dash is from a 69 roadrunner I believe.
