426 hemi start and listen to hemi idle on 1971 Charger R/T

[@ZchibizroxZ]

Get chills just listening! What I would give to have my own Charger with a Hemi!

[@MUSTANG1999GT100]

thanks for posting, was wanting to hear how lumpy the cam was from the factory on these cars and it sounds great.

[@WardyLion]

I'm a Brit who loves American V8's and the sound they make. The Hemi is awesome and I wish I could have one of my own!

[@MarquisRex]

+WardyLion Me too. Infact I love them so much I emigrated to the USA!

[@Xxcastelli69xX]

Beautiful car! Sounds great! Nothing like the old REAL hemi's.

[@Bruningable]

Oh that sweet Mopar rumble! Nothing sounds like a Chrysler Hemi.

[@winged70bbody2]

I love how Mopar big blocks shake between the motor mounts while idling.. It's menacing. It's beauty. It's a kick to the EPA's jimmy.. Beautiful car man. Be sure to open it up like it was built for every once in a while!!! Thanks for posting this.

[@jradish]

hemis are not big blocks

[@1970vlad]

It is like a monster awakening....you can really feels its power....

[@Maticus07]

You sir, are my hero. According to Gran Turismo, only 23 1971 Charger HEMI Super Bees were produced, and you have one. That's amazing. MOPAR!!! :D

[@hunterworld1]

chysler starters had a unique sound!!

[@jeffreygoldstein1515]

+Linda Green because they are gear reduction starters

[@magnusatheos7301]

Agreed. I always loved that distinct sound of a Chrysler startup.

[@jameshardin1100]

That Air Grabber is just to kewl!

[@joshuamoore24_7]

I used to own a 1974 Dodge Charger Brougham Edition SE with a 4 barrel 318cui and a 904r4 transmission with, possi-traction, mds race ignition box & coil, high-performance flex fan and transmission cooler, Krager SS rims 8" in front and 12" in the rear, and 2 5/8 " dual flowmasters straight back with flowmasters mufflers and chrome slant truck tips. I had the car looking brand new inside and out. The paint scheme is candy color yellow, with black vinyl top, and black rear wing, with chrome trim. On the Dyno at the DMV off of Washington Street in Pheonix Arizona it was putting out 275hp at the rear wheels @ 2300 rpm!

[@KPO6859]

I miss my hemi; it brings back fond memories.

[@bavondale]

thank you for not having that damn "performance" cam that stalls the engine at idle

[@murph55]

your neighbors must love you

[@firebat42]

The kind of sound that demands respect.

[@w41duvernay]

NEEDDDED 2 SEEE test drive on road!!!! Especially opening up all 8 barrel on the road, I heard the sound is legendary.

[@benjigaines7044]

Awesome car ! My brother had a 72 trans am 455 H.O. One of his high school buddies had 71 440 magnum my brother could get him a car length every time in the quarter mile that Dodge was strong! He never ran up with a Hemi car Eadon park rd . Forest city Fla . In early 70s!

[@lwb256]

Bad ass car man.

[@crisp2882]

i love hemis and this is awesome

[@Conaddor]

The Dual Quads had to have the Air Fuel Mixture just right you had to have the touch and watch the tail pipes. You never wanted to see black ash in the tail pipes that meant to rich had to be tan or right around that at the end of the tail pipe that is when you knew you were in the ball park and the gas mileage did get a hell of a lot better with timing and Fuel Air mixture. They make the Electronic ignition conversion kit for the big block and you don't have to play points every weekend.

[@strattuner]

hemi's are unlike any other motor,gear reduction starters were slow on turn over,so they had to be in perfect tune,after they were hot,they'd start all day long,425 underated horses,all of them starving all the time,most people claimed 12-14 mpg on a tuned up motor,but they were meant to be driven and driven hard,they are not HANGER QUEENS

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

that's what I love about carbureted cars and old cars. you don't just hop in turn the key start up and go.. you have to do what we like to call wake them up lol.

[@last426]

Sure does, great catch. I have no clue what it was, nothing behind the radiator and ahead of the fan that I can think of. But I am taking it to a show next Sunday, June 27, and will check it again then. Thanks, Kim.

[@shkeni]

Nice elephant you have there, sounds gorgeous!

[@logankai7427]

beautiful charger really beautiful

[@garyknirr8209]

Coronet not charger. 🤦‍♂️

[@jradish]

@@garyknirr8209 that's a charger idiot

[@tonyrigo9096]

MOPAR RULES

[@tuggers7]

regardless of the other comments........you got a VERY cool car man........i especially like the aior grabber

[@soxfunny98]

Most comments loved this car. Just came across it. It's gorgeous. I own an A-12 440 6 bbl Road Runner and a 1970 RT /SE 440 Charger. 54 yrs old yesterday and in the last month i bought my first new mopar. Red Eye. What a damn fine car that is. I have been racing for 33 yrs and i can't wait to go into the 34th with the ROAD RUNNER and RED EYE. The Charger will take a year of track racing off but will be driving the streets.

[@joshuamoore24_7]

You have awesome car!

[@erod017]

That sound is the sound of money

[@71plymouth.]

that is the sound of muscle.

[@donaldtittlejr3355]

It sounds happy.

[@PansyFeet]

you my friend are a very smart man

[@Raz.C]

Sir? I'd like to marry your car... I've been in love with her for many years now, and I'd like your permission to marry her...

[@mattadey6728]

+Razar Campbell wow your funny

[@thomasdeangelo5643]

Nice ride!

[@bg147]

Humorous verbiage about the manual choke. Chrysler definitely took the bare bones approach with certain elements. Sweet car.

[@PansyFeet]

i love that colour. they should still make it on the new challengers

[@last426]

It is my car. The reason the Ramcharger was so slow was cause the car was idling and the scoop is vacuum operated and has to work against a spring. When driving it is somewhat faster. I enjoy thee car more and more but just don't drive it as much as I should. Kim

[@tessierashpoolmg7776]

Now that's a mill!

[@joshuamoore24_7]

You cars body style looks so similar to the 1974 Dodge Charger Brougham Edition SE that I used to own .

[@last426]

Yep, all 3rd generation Chargers (71-74) look the same with differences mainly being subtle cosmetics and engines. Hemis last year was 71.

[@clevlandblock]

Nice. The 71 hemi had hydraulic lifters I believe.

[@last426]

@Ynzevdz Most think it was to get through the coming emission laws. There was never any emission equipment on the car. For the choke cable they used a vent cable and turned it upside down and put a red "choke" sticker over the upsided painted VENT.

[@amgamaro515]

Nice roar

[@mikesbbody]

This is Kim's car right? I had no idea the Ramcharger opened so slowly and when you shut it off it closes awesome video! Nice Charger!!!

[@Ynzevdz]

Not a bad cold start at all for such an hairy old beast, I've seen worse. Any reason Chrysler went to a manual choke on the last year Hemi? Impressive sound, awesome car.

[@freeagent8225]

There's probably a 4 cylinder turbo that makes more power than this now but it's not the same is it?

[@cuda426hemi]

Ear Porn. I miss my 'Cuda.

[@vppnbrent]

Nice.

[@jaylamb9546]

Why did you pump the gas pedal when you first got in ? After a month of sitting them float bowls are bone dry , just pumping air until that motor spins over and pumps up some gas. Unless you have a electric pump hooked up ?

[@jradish]

did you not hear the electric pump priming?

[@likethemsexy]

Very nice, thanks...nice car

[@chevyblue10]

Sweet music

[@hunterm4188]

Good and flooded

[@ChalengerRt1971]

Hey men why turn on light back ?

[@joshuamoore24_7]

Does that intake scoop work off of the vacuum pressure from the carburetor?

[@chrisharmon]

I think it does At least from what I read

[@BadgerM6]

Wonder how cold it was that day? Nice sound.

[@fredc8346]

Thats a lope? Even if you brought down the idle properly it is not much of a lope.

[@robbsclassics]

@ChrisC1 By that logic, no one should ever put any kind of performance part on a car.

[@machone7I]

@PansyFeet or even better, they should keep making this car.

[@JGW-81]

What is the colour of your charger its nice im looking at restoring a 71 challenger rt like your colour better then the orange thats on it now

[@last426]

It is B7 blue, known as dark blue. But I do like those orange cars...

[@agone-guy7963]

Well I thought the old charger comes with the 440 engine or maybe the 426 comes on the 71 and over I guess

[@GenericGene]

Nice -

[@BNforever2009]

nice

[@wildestcowboy2668]

Granddad ran da whiskey In a Big BLOCK Dodge

[@beatthedevil1396]

I drive a Prius , what kinda gas mileage you get in that puppy..

[@Yaegermx]

It's about right

[@likethemsexy]

embarrassed ? ? ? NEVER

[@369NICK963]

5:03 HALELUAH

[@midatlanticcycle1]

my 71 Hemi GTX starts quite nicely all the time but then again i'm an ace tuner. RS23R1G180190

[@tripjet999]

@1:00 - Starting problems. Uh-oh.

[@patnaty]

this engine run more duration tan stock cam look like 240 @ 0.50

[@BMAN294]

@ShawnJSpiller well yours must be different

[@joezeaone7555]

uh..r/t..ROAD AND TRACK..

[@zxtenn]

Great that you keep it stock, it's worth a pretty penny just don't get in a race with the new cars, you'll be embarrassed

[@Austin-mc2wv]

it's idle is really High

[@IHazABone]

+Austin Waters Probably just a fast idle to warm the engine up while sitting. Lots of carbs do that.

[@Austin-mc2wv]

Ik but it sounds like the carb needs adjustments lol

[@danieljacobson5774]

And on the 7th day God created the hemi

[@kanelee1871]

You should never pump the gas with the choke engaged. Nice car, I'm jealous.

[@BMAN294]

the olds rocket 350 is a bitch to start if it sits for a while

[@Samsgarden]

looks like something flew off the fan @ 1:15

[@last426]

@Maticus07 Lucky, yes, heroic, no. To be accurate, this is not a Super Bee -- it is an R/T. Same body style but different model. It is not as rare -- one of 63 (I think 22 Super Bees). I watched a clip from Gran Turismo and it seems to have the handling correct, sloppy around corners, fast in straights. Kim

[@ANDREWSAMY562]

that's a fine american classic. is it a manual 4 speed?

[@fredc8346]

Auto

[@jeffreygoldstein1515]

you'd have to actually own a 71 hemi car to even know about the under dash choke cable. my 71 hemi gtx has the same.

[@71plymouth.]

got a gtx huh. that's cool. I've got a 71 satellite sebring 383 rallye dash a higher trim model than the standard satellite. Mopar or nocar.

[@justsumguy2u]

I'm thinking that has an aftermarket cam in it, I remember Hemis as having a fairly smooth idle.

[@jlo13800]

They can converted into a 2 stroke with a custom cam 1:1 running crank speed, intake exhaust open at the same time and blower for scavenging. This make a valved loop charge 2 stroke. This what a toyota DOCH 2 stroke valved engine does.

[@fredc8346]

It does sound like it may be, or maybe it is just running a little rough. Many guys with original looking or restored cars, especially those that run their cars at the strip and want it to perform well run a little bigger cam or maybe run one with similar specs but more modern ramps so they are actually quite a bit more cam. No way to tell without testing or pulling the cam out to see, so they can fudge the truth. These cars came with a pretty mild cam and who would want it to sound like grandmas dodge. These really were not the street killers like many that were not around those days seem to think. The 440's especially the six packs ran right with these, were cheaper and less temperamental. Cool engine and history though.

[@71superbee39]

A '71" eh? ... heh heh heh ..

[@karlkamphefner8529]

Shoot some gas down the carb, and save your starter

[@soundslikebstome]

fix the exhaust leak!!1

[@fredc8346]

That's his 'lope'.

[@leadsologtoctsv]

GTO.........

[@ChrisC1]

I dont understand using these Toyota sounding starters, the stock starter worked in 1971, it should work today.

[@jradish]

why do you care are you stupid

[@Tarten46]

started up pretty easy! whats with the pussy footing carb primer pumping? those are afb's not holleys. afb's like and need it rough. the leather wrapped accel pumps (quality kits still come with them) dry out from long sit/or intense summer time heat.. get rude with em! 6-8 violent/rapid pumps was the ideal cold start method back in the day. this also shakes the floats and needles in a carter carb. not all foreign objects get trapped by the filter. both the afb and avs designs like it rough.
