Thanks for sharing, that sounds amazing. I have not yet driven one with the 4 speed. I would love that. My lady says I drive this one a little too zippy. I can only imaging how zippy I could be in a 4 speed. lol. I am considering getting a late model hard top in the future for that very purpose. We will see.

My first car was a 69 furyIII conv. 383-2bl, 2.91 gears. Only other option I'm sure of is heavy duty brakes. Was a great hwy car. The speedometer danced around when above 75-80 but the car didn't mind running at 80+ mph. When gas went from 55¢ to $1.40, I gave up on her. Wish I'd of had a barn to put her in.

Love this story. When I bought my first one 30 years ago I was about 3 hours from home.. heading back I was amazed at how easily it just kept going faster. Huge difference from the 4cly I was driving previously. In fact I think I was going about 80+ when the back hub cap came off and passed us on the freeway, we watched fly up the hill into the grass. We turned around and searched for like an hour and never found it. It must have gone back in time. lol

Thank you. I am still not out of the woods yet, but it is nice to drive it for a while. The dash pad is way better than cracked up dash underneath. I belive I got it from the following site. They make it to order with several choices of materials. I think I have the "velour" option. I installed it with Landau Top & Trim Adhesive from Weldwood. I taped everything off so I could get the adhesive right to the edge.

My mother bought a new 1969 Plymouth fury three that was yellow with a white interior and a white vinyl top. Her car had a 383 and was very fast. She loved that car and drove it eleven years. I don't know what the mileage was but she drove it to Mexico and all over the United States with her sister that first summer in 1969. She also made at least two trips from Gainesville to Miami each year that she owned it. She made numerus trips to North Carolina in it. The car was still beautiful like my mother when she sold it but the engine was completely worn out. A few years ago I tried to track down the car without any luck.
@rustaholic90293 ай бұрын
I really love the story. It sounds like she really enjoyed it as intended. I think the 383 would really change the feel of the car. That is an upgrade I may look into in the future if the 318 starts getting tired. Could be awhile. If you decide to keep looking, I hop you find it.
@richjordan93753 ай бұрын
Awesome that its running better! Enjoy the heck out of it! But (I'm sorry! Really! for saying this!) you might want to look up information on running a fuel filter on the suction side of a mechanical fuel pump; pretty much everything I looked at recommended it to only be on the pressure side. But it ran so maybe will be ok! Enjoy the heck out of your car! Mine is still buried in a garage with no space and partly in pieces. I really admire you getting so much done in your really not very spacious workspace! I need to try to do the same.
@rustaholic90293 ай бұрын
Thank you Rich I really appreciate the comments. I will keep an eye on it and consider moving it if needed. My new filter is a very small metal filter with cleanable filter element similar to what is just inside the carb. I am hoping it gives little restriction. Good luck on getting your project moving. Sounds like a good purge may be in order. I am due for one myself. I have to do it every few years or else I couldn't walk through the shop. It is amazing how much stuff I hang onto thinking I will use it, but really it is not worth the space.

It is. Not original to the car. It is a 73 318 of unknown origin. The engine and trans were just sitting in the car without any connections at all when I purchased it. It seems like they may have swapped it, but never got it running. I got it running and drove for like 8 months before the original breakdown in Daytona 2 years ago. Wow, has it been that long?
@richjordan93753 ай бұрын
The fuel leakage you mentioned may point to the fuel in the bowl boiling, or float set too high. jimgee2676's suggestions about checking fuel lines and filters is excellent. If you haven't been into the fuel tank you may want to; the sending unit/pickup screen might be clogged up. If that unit is on the side (it is on B and E body cars) make sure you don't have too much gas in it before removing the sender, and do have a new rubber gasket and screen when you open it. You might also unhook the fuel line at the carb and run it (through funnel, hose, whatever) into a measuring cup while cranking the engine to make sure you're getting a steady and sufficient supply of gas. You could also remove the air cleaner when the engine is stopped with the problem and listen to the carb (maybe with a stethoscope or the old screwdriver trick) to see if you hear boiling. You can also slowly open the throttle blades and look down into the manifold to see if its dry or very wet (boiling gas will often overflow into the intake, as will fuel if the float level is too high). By many accounts, modern gas, especially in the more heavily regulated EPA attainment areas _sucks_ for resistance to boiling and vapor lock. Ethanol is part of that problem. Do you have the Carter BBD that came on those engines? If so it might be worth rebuilding it and trying it. BBDs won't make the power that equivalent Holleys can but they are very reliable and of course the carb would be a match for the engine. And in my experience less likely to have gas all over the outside... best of luck!
@rustaholic90293 ай бұрын
This is all great advise. Thank you so much. I will work through the list and see what we find. I did previously clean out the tank and put a new sender in it. I like the idea of gravity feeding the carb, as it seems sometimes there is zero fuel in the filter.

I would so love to have a car like that; we grew up with a '69 Plymouth Custom Suburban wagon (Fury II equivalent). Couple of things FYI. Your head light was causing some flickering on the video (not too bad though). The positioner clips for the calipers may not be needed if you ever need to update the pins. At some point they changed the rubber bushings and the pins to work without the positioner clips, current hardware kits no longer come with them, or even the anti-rattle spring (and old kits for restorers or reproduction positioners for the truly finicky are expensive!). We always used to stick a piece of 1x4 wood between the piston and the caliper when blowing the piston out; my uncle pointed out a hole in the ceiling of his shop that was made by a piston that "someone" blew out with too much pressure that came back down and broke the windshield of a customer's car... a mistake he only made once! Please let us know how the brakes work! I'm converting my front drum car to disks with the same Kelsey Hayes style calipers as yours.
@rustaholic90294 ай бұрын
I love the story about the wagon and the caliper hole. I think I was really lucky. Won't make that mistake again. Thanks for the heads up on the light, I will try and watch for that. That is good info about the updated pins. I will look out for them in the future. Spoilier, the brakes are working awesome. no issues there. But I still have some gremlins. Looks like I can't sit back and enjoy it quite yet.
