Chrysler Master Tech - 1952, Volume 5-11 Dodge Red Ram V-8 Engine

Dual points, hydraulic lifters and hemi heads wow this was high performance in the early 50's

[@stevehoward3049]

3:50 That Tech is badass.

[@philipmiller9787]

My 241 runs strong, 100 percent stock. My 53 cornet is daily driver and runs like a scalded dog😁😁

[@jryer1]

Very nice. That's what I need, old school as my daily driver!

The first hemi was Chrysler 331 in 1951 and 180hp. DeSoto was 52 and dodge 53 with the 241. Having torque converter oil and engine oil was dodge only and a bad idea cause sludge in converter and stopped it by 55. In small towns people would only drive blocks to work and all engines had lots of sludge in them because they didn't get warmed up. Every mechanic had a large serving spoon in his tool box and the first thing before overhaul was to spoon out all the sludge from the heads and valve galleys. Pennzoil and Quaker state were worst cause they were full of wax.

Severely waxy oil, yes. I also think those road draft tubes would suck road dirt under closed throttle deceleration. Remember all those dirt roads?

[@68FISH]

My favorite early Hemi is the 291 Desoto. Wait, I have to turn the record over to the B side!! let me get the filmstrip projector back in sync! Hopefully the bulb will not blow. Oh yea, My second favorite is the 354 with a 392 crank. And you thought putting 440 cranks in a 383 was a new thing??

[@michaelmartinez1345]

Classic Mopar film!!! Now, Pertronics has an electronic ignition kit that will replace these troublesome ignition points, and everything will stay inside the OEM distributor housing! And using one of their OEM look-alike 3Ω 'Flamethrower' ignition coils, and older engines like these will run smooth throughout the entire range of rpm's the engine operates at... And the Pertronics system operates off of 12.0 to 14.7volts, so the OEM ballast resistor is no longer used... Less to go wrong!!! Poor Tech (the puppet) was taken to the rifle range before he got home to get sleep, but he's sleeping now- alongside several other struck targets... 😮

[@pacbeltrr38]

Did we just witness the birth of the HEMI??!!! 😵😵😱😱😀

[@MrGGPRI]

NO-- The Chrysler New Yorker came out with it in 1951 @ 331 ci. My friends father had one; he worked at Chrysler in Compton/ELA.

[@michaelmartinez1345]

@@MrGGPRI actually, engines with HEMISPHERICAL combustion chambers were in several aircraft before these engines were put into affordable cars... But what Chrysler did do first, was put this technology into the reach of many consumers...

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

engine oil in torque converter. YIKES !!!

[@Mercmad]

The trans also used the engine oil .really horrible system .It was type of fluid coupler with a clutch

[@randymagnum143]

Better than using it to power the fuel injectors.

@ 15:48, "asbestos" LOL

[@craigjorgensen4637]

Those old cannister filters were a bitch to change. No clearance and several gaskets and rubber seals. Everything had to be lined up perfectly or they would leak!

[@p47thunderbolt68]

Torque converter used engine oil ?

[@68FISH]

Yes, some of them did. I have an old chrysler spacer plate with multiple oil passages that shared engine oil with the tranny. Its how we ran bulldozers and tanks for years. Didn't work well for the automotive applications.

That first HEMI only has 140 hp ? And the 1960 225 slant six also had 140 hp. What gives?

[@jamesanderton344]

OKIE CHOPPER low compression for low octane fuel in the early 50s

[@williamg2552]

It was 1952.

[@88SC]

Progress. Lots of it!

[@MrShobar]

I wouldn'r cross "Tek". I think he's a spawn of the devil. A demon.

[@johnnyhawkins43]

By law no one but MOPAR can legally make a hemi engine!!!!!!!

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

I am the LAW!

[@MrShobar]

By what law?

[@mattsaab5811]

@MrShobar US trademark law

[@JackF99]

You do realize that a number of car engines came with hemispherical combustion chambers long before and long after the Chrysler Hemi appeared, right? 1905 was the first. Chrysler trademarked the name "Hemi" but there is no law against anyone producing a hemi head engine design.

[@randallsullivan3692]

@@JackF99 They just can't call it a HEMI.

140hp 7.5.1 komp. Why so low Comp?? 10.1.1 = 220hp mayby..

[@chrislochner4038]

Hard to easily get the info. I believe octane ratings after the war were too low for high compression. During the fifties octane and compression rose hand in hand. Sorta chicken and the egg. One site claims regular in 1946 was only 79! Knock in a pre electronic high com engine would be severe.

[@61rampy65]

@@chrislochner4038 Gas was low in octane. Two brands come to mind, Phillips 66 and Union 76. Both were named for their highest octane rating, tho I don't know what years they came into being.

[@ronaldjohnson1474]

Phillip's fuel made the founder's car go 60mph, no, said his chauffeur, 66! You might be correct with Union Oil.
