AFX is a nice add to the fleet!

Make a jumper hose and try it at each spot to make sure the rubber inside the hose hasn’t failed

Just hearing it run. Makes me smile. Older Mopars never die they make old men like me smile.

Love the old Mopar AF/X cars. I saw them run grudge racing back in the 60s

Bob is my kind of shop hand. Continual comedian.

That was a great trade, you can build new cars but you can't build history.

Assuming the dry sump oiling system is plumbed properly, do the following: Open a crankcase vent on the engine / valve cover. Block the dry sump tank vent. Apply about 2 PSI to the dry sump tank while cranking the engine. This will push oil to the pressure side of the pump and into the engine. For a wet sump engine that won't prime: Leave the filter backed off a couple of turns, make sure you have a catch pan under it. Block all valve cover / fill tube vents. Apply 2 PSI to the dip stick tube while cranking the engine. When oil flows from the filter adapter, tighten the filter and crank / start the engine to complete the process.

First!🤗 Boy, does that altered wheel base Mopar bring back memories. I spent many a happy hour watching cars like that match race at beautiful US 30 drag strip in 1965. Ramchargers, Dyno Don, Grumpy Jenkins, Dick Harrell, Fast Eddie Schartman and more. By the end of the season, fuel injection, nitromethane and straight axles were the thing to have. What a crazy season that was.

Your gonna make it with 2.0 . I have faith in you guys!

Now that’s a real race car, love those old steel bodied hemi Plymouths & Dodges

Very cool, can’t wait to see y’all there!

If everything checks out, it could be the rubber inside a hose (failure) that's acting as a flap and restrict the oil flow.

that AF/X is unreal and sooooooooo cooooooollllll!!!!!!!!

Great content thanks for sharing. Good luck with the time you have to get everything ready

thanks for sharing Tom!

I really like that AFX

Just rattle can spray the bumper cover on the Blazer. No one will be the wiser from the stands!

A/FX just seems perfect for a drag and drive!!

I have faith in your team Tom. You will get it done.

That was cool when you asked how many times you say so. I do the same thing myself.

You make the realest videos! The hemi car is cool for sure. I can't believe you guys beat the piss out of the Trailblazer SS! I had a black 07 3ss or whatever, that I did a cam and converter in, which was kind of my transition from big block and small block stuff, to the LS world. I wish I still had it and never got rid of it...but I have a bad ass 91/102 t4 and 408 in a 99 Camaro, street car, stock interior with air still now! Thanks guys!

Hook an external motor up to the oil pump. (check for correct rotation first). (Opinion only, not a request for any action).

No doubt in my mind 2.0 is going to make it. You guys are the best you’ll have her running in no time!,

Tom, don’t worry about saying “SO” a whole bunch.. I only counted 46. soooo, THANKS FOR WASHING!

Check all of your drain and feed lines, sounds like you have a feed line sucking itself shut.

Im inlove with the no prep car such a beautiful piece of history

WOW beautiful car!!!

Man, the new car is soooooo SICK!!!! Love it!!

Disconnect oil inlet hose at the pump and observe oil flow. If none or little try to blow air backwards thru the hose to the tank(gently) and see if it clears it if it does and no flow hose is done. Good luck.

anyone else see the flash when bumping the starter after they switched camera angle to under the car?

Sometimes you need to squirt some oil on the inlet side of the pump but not very often. The hose that hooks onto the bottom of the tank is the suction for the inlet side of oil pump . Like Steve always says " it's pretty simple " lol

You’ll get it I have faith in you

I think it obvious at this point that the reservoir needs to come out.

2.0 will be there I have all the faith in you guys

Beautiful car

Bob work on the Durango. A minute later, Bob help me with 2.0. Bob is the man. Tom you will make Indy and will provide great entertainment!

You can do it!!

Does it have a vent and if so is it flowing. Could be like a fuel tank with a bad vent valve. Same principle

Why did it appear to shoot a spark from the starter when you were bumping the motor over?

Stacks: short for stick and long for automatic.

Starting to sound like old cooper bugeeti😂👍untested send it just creep up on it what could go wrong 🙈🤷‍♂️👍

That Plymouth is choice.

the orange one's best on fhe lot may need an old guy around thank's for the vid

Missed it last year at cleetus indy (if she was there) but my 10 year old is counting on it guys! I told him 2.0 would be there before I finished the video!! Good luck man

What's the flash reflecting off the pan @14:51? (upper left in frame)

Pump unit the wrong way around and turning the wrong way? If you see gear turnin inward in the center on outlet it’s ok, if the other way its not ok.

the fuel system I would put a fuel pressure Gauges between lines and rails on the fuel rails site glass see if you get air.

The line that you have blocked off could be making your pump not operate properly. Hook the line up an see what happens.

Thanks for the realist videos our there of one of the fastest cars ever to drive on the street ! Love how your kids and team are All IN ! Good luck

Does the oil pan have to be on for it to create strong suction? ((edit)) King of like having a hole in a straw, its almost useless until the hole is plugged.

Is the pump trying to flow backwards?

Pull the tank and clean it. If something damaged the pressure section , it came from the tank.

Did anyone else the the starter motor spark?

i am so mad that cleetus n cars is this weekend, and not next ill be there for mecum!

It’ll be ok send it! Lol it’s easy to say when it’s not my 350k lol

Could it be air locked in the system?

Did u prime it first those have to be primed

Tom what does 2.0 weight it drag and drive trim if you dnt might me asking?

Is the engine spinning in the right direction, did someone hook the battery up backasswards?

Coolest car you’ve ever shown.

What holds the pully to the shaft?

When in doubt call Steve Morris..

The Orange Plymouth is Bad Ass. Make it a Sick Week contender, (Street Legal) with out changing it much

This car needs to become a AA/FX car!!!!

What day is the nhra race in Chicago anyone know

You should do a sick week class where you have to use period correct truck and trailer to run older style drag cars for the week

MOPAR BABYYYYY!!!!

Is sick skids happening again this summer?

Sounds like you need A micro Nano bot or A engineer scope.^^

Mullet's SMX killed the oil pump when the tip of one of the inlet screens broke off and it ate it. Wonder if your pump has suffered a similar thing?

Can't you prime it with a drill Tom.?

Oil is overrated. Send it!

try drawing a vacuum from the top of the tank

You have the feed valve closed, "wink wink" Never mind, thats fuel,lol

If u ever want to sell the A/FX I am looking one

LOL! Tom went to the can with a hot mic on...

America 🇺🇸

Bad line? Collapsing causing the blockage

I’m sure you’ll make it there with 2.0.

So! Shouldn't be a problem Tom you seem to have beaten obviously!

check all of your screens

500 lb on the wheel nuts and retorque nuts after 100 miles

bigtime race guys see hemi for the first time lol

I'd dump the " for sale " signs on the car. Anytime I see these on a car I figure the owner just wants to tell someone " You can't afford it loser " or is asking 3 X of what it is worth and never really intends to sell the car.

Tom ur car is on there

How do I get that magazine again?

Take a half hour remove the tank, split it open and look inside. gives you a chance to inspect and clean and eliminate any issues there. After that its down to taking each section of the oil path isolate it and feed oil thru. You WILL find where there is a blockage or restriction for sure.

No reason to run 2.0 if you cant get oil moving. It's a shame you cant prime the pump and not check outlets for flow.

Bring that A/FX to GLD

That sure is a dilemma with 2.0.

im amazed by the lack of mechanical know how for some guys running insane speeds down 1/4 mile..

Cleetus proved it don’t hurt these engines to run with no oil. It’s fine…

Hey did you see the big spark when tom touched the starter button on the under car shot? . The need to check that out immediately time stamp at 14:47

You will make it with 2.0 if not just go pick up the nomad lol

👍

I think it's broken.

If you make it with 2.0 than call out one of the NHRA guys to a race

Call Steve Morris he knows all about that stuff

I'm in indy if you need anything

sweeet
