Lots of activity going on around the shop including a massive Facebook Marketplace score on a lifetime supply of Torqueflite parts, plus a recap and summary of our race between Casper and Bottle Rocket. The odds favor the Hemi Ford, but our little 318 still might pull an upset.

I've seen some times that yeah, seems its invulnerable to pressure washing, but, as you say, the sodium hydroxide will slowly eat through the compounded carbon, little at a time.
Three years in the making were going to run three years later don't tell me when it's going to happen…..don't call me I'll call you…….
15:20 dollar for dollar, its still gunna be a better buy to get a 5 gallon bottle of Zep.
Also, if you have the kind of pressure washer like I have, you can run a tube from a feed point on those things and use them like the 'foaming degreaser' stuff at the car wash, only with as hot of water as you can possibly get hold of, so long as you have the right kind of high pressure hose [ABSOLUTELY MUST be either Kevlar or steel because the other ones MELT and rupture] to handle high temperatures.
I used those type hoses with carpet cleaners back when I lived in Chicago and did steam cleaning of carpets for a living.
The wrong hose and you can get scalded out of your skin, but the right kind of hose and you're good to go to 275°F with sodium hydroxide, GUARANTEED to blast THE WORST crud right on the spot! (~_^)-b
Just be sure and rinse out your pressure washer pump afterwards because it will pit the aluminum if its that kind of pump.
I'll have to do it again soon, but when I was working on my truck and trying to buy time before major floor-pan work, I ran two household compressors (nominal 5 hp) on two circuits (to prevent tripped breakers) into a common hose. I used that to feed a needle scaler (IR I think). After the needle scaler, the underside was ready for whatever paint was available (tremclad in my case). More expensive than a screwdriver, but better and faster I think. With regards to the compressors, they were bought at least 15 years apart, so not a credit-card fest.
Tony can you tell me please how the heck I got unsubscribed? Did you do that? can you even do that? IF you did/can WHY did you do that? I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!
Every UTG video should be filmed while Tony is at an odd angle. Adds an extra element that I cannot describe. Lol
Oven cleaner (the cheap crud), is a life saver. It will strip lead paint from old tractors. Learned that in the late 80's. Fast forward and it is a wife saver. I clean my shop sink and bathtub/shower with it. Safe on enamel and gel coat. The bonus is I hear less static at the end of the day.

what happened to Dallas?
Nice I've been to shady side years ago its pretty close or over the state line from me Greer dragstrip is good too both are 1/8 mile tracks
Tony I have something I just don’t understand and I’ve never seen this on a early 318 that i replaced the vacuum advance because the original didn’t do anything at all and the engine had a few missing cylinders so I replaced the vacuum advance and now when I plug in the advance with either manifold vacuum or ported vacuum the 318 just starts missing extremely bad but disconnected it straightened out so what the hell am I missing here?
dukes of hazard kinda dirt
For cleaning the underbody what about renting a pressure washer that heats the water? Scalding hot pressurized water is amazing.
Tony Ive been watching you since day one. You are great man I'm so happy you are a mopar guy! We are lucky to have you man. Chrysler salute from Ohio
Man a 318 can beat a hemi, clevland rammed 430 Ford, i will send you Money when i can afford it. Offer limited to $100 us, payable by end of finanbcial year. Good luck
Using a 4K ULED television box as a grime catcher… he must be flexing
I scored two 70s era Bennett gas pumps and a RC cola pop bottle machine on Marketplace. Drove from Ohio down to Tennessee for them. Dressing up my garage as a Sinclair Gas Station.
I have some concerns about your nitrous set-up. I would suggest that you have the switch activate at full throttle, rather than off idle. Years ago I did the same as you have, but if you have to pedal it, the nitrous stays on. I changed it to full throttle activation only. Came on at about 90% throttle. Much safer, and when you pedal it, the nitrous is off.
Tony,Tony,Tony…you need a weld scaler to speed up al the drudgery of cleaning those underbody goodies.
Is this the car that the crew of younger guys was working on ? And where are they, its been a while since we have seen them on the channel
Nice tranny score UT. Now you can get your Chager trans fixed, no excuse other than the ones you mentioned a day ago. HAHAHA. Cheers from the Great White North.
The fuel injected engine into a classic should be interesting. I put a Holden 304, fuel injected engine and 4L60E from 1994, into a 1954 FJ Holden. I'd advise avoiding the electronic trans, because OEM PCM's can be limited, so leave yourself an option of going carb.
One of my first long distance road trips, in the FJ, was to the Opal mining town of Lightning Ridge, NSW, Australia. It rained overnight, and next day spent some time driving on the dirt roads. It really didn't seem very muddy at all. But wow, when I got home, I had the car on a hoist, chiseling caked on mud from every nook and cranny. Even after multiple cleans, the floor is still stained from the opal dirt. Also, on that rainy night, I forgot to close my cowl vent, and my PCM got wet. so avoid mounting your PCM under your cowl vent.
keep up the good work

What happened with Stubbie and the turbo slant build ?
Im ALL Mopar and i got ya but Andy's got that thing singin . Cant wait . And Casper's headers ARE beautiful. U GOT THIS plz.
Times like that a lift would pay for itself
You need an 89 cummins no electronics no gimmicks and while you are modifying the truck and using it you’ll get 20+MPG
I look at life like this…..tilts head 90 degrees…As always Tony love and respect from across the pond London UK..;D
Yeah I quit facebook. Facebook is telling everyone our business, including foreign governments. Facebook is not welcome in my home. That said I did enjoy shopping for cars and parts there. But I not willing to pay the price.
All that dirt represent a horse power secret. One horse pwr per 3 lbs of dirt. Clean it really good..
That maybe an interesting 360 intake manifold to try on mission impossible.
Over one year to complete an 'almost expert' pass…
Just send it! -blood/plasma centers of America.
Hey Tony. How could you possibly miss the chance to have dv port the 318 poly head.
You should weigh all the crap you scrape off when your're done.
Just watched the mopar connection vid where they came to the shop. I was surprised that they didnt seem to grasp the 4 door to two door swap and the fact that 2 and 4 door share the same length and wheelbase and left there convinced that you altered sledgehammer like an fx
I think I saw Andy's build it was like putting some Cleveland heads on a FE block
The walk of shame is a SOB they hand you the broom ?
Can we do a 'go fund UTG' to buy you a lift?
I don't know how to set it up, but if uncle Kathy organizes it I'll pitch in.
THAT'S an upgrade that'll help cure some project avoidance, AND get you off the concrete!
Laying on cardboard is what guys like me do!
What did you do to Uncle Brian?
Would the clay help with anti-tank mines if you left it? You could steer into it and make it more Mad Max. You've already got the paint.
