I am a mechanic my self and it's hard to find a honest one these days it's awsome to see one that's why his shop is one of the very best .

[@randysummerhays4168]

Not to take away from Nick or any of his work. I bought a 63 valiant station wagon with a slant 6 . I'm 63 I've been a mechanic all my life and my friend has been a mechanic for 68 years. Just spoke to him on the phone 5 minutes ago he was opening up the shop he's been there since 1976.. anyway I was trying to start my slant six Harold was here the old man he'll be 80 this week. The slant six had 30 lb of compression and Harold said it won't run. Minor tune-up and carburetor overhaul and the thing runs like a million dollars we were both completely shocked. But ya can't Kill a slant 6... I love Nick and everything he does he is very very Humble man ! Good bye 2023 🎉

Sure, but why run up an engine you don't know, run it a little, listen, then tune it to be sure nothing really bad goes wrong. One of those carbs is off no doubt, and do the compression and set the timing to a run well position to get started. The fuel leak drama was totally unnecessary...

Impressed with 185psi of cranking compression with cast iron heads. The fact the carbs are jetted so rich is protecting the engine from pinging itself to death. Probably also why it didn’t like the extra 2 degrees of ignition.

[@KurtfromLaQuinta]

A while ago, I was ignorant to a Six Pack setup. But having putting one on my '74 Power Wagon I've owned since I ordered it from Dodge in August '73. 50 years ago this month! I installed it back in '91, and have been running it since then. I've become very familiar with it. I found an article in Mopar Muscle quite a few years back on tuning a set of 4 barrels on a Hemi. Which was an amazing help. Essentially a Six Pack/ Six Barrel is one primary carb (center) and two secondaries (outboard). So tuning them isn't all that difficult. I ended up drilling and tapping out the Idle Air Bleeds in the center carb so I could replace them for tuning. This helped with the too lean idle and tip in problems I was experiencing. I'm running a Quick Fuel metering block on the center primary carb. This also helps because it offers tuning on the Idle Fuel Restrictors. I also have Pro Form throttle bodies on the outboard carbs. They are the setup for tuning A/F ratios on them. Providing access. I'm running 3 Canton Phenolic Blocks under each carb. Which stops any heat issues. All these things kill anybody trying to be totally stock. But... I drive my truck daily. And I would be willing to bet I put more mileage on a Six Pack engine than anybody else around. I'm currently running a stroked 440 with Indy aluminum heads. A hydraulic roller cam. And it is a torque monster. I can be a handful driving it around. But that's what makes it so much fun. For the whole story go to Ramcharger Central. com. Go down to the "Picture Section". Click on "Rams, Power Wagon's, D W 50's etc." Search and click on "My '74 Power Wagon I Ordered from Dodge on 8/73". I would put a link here, but You Tube won't let me. The story is very long because it's been 50 years in the making.

The carbs are the problem and Nick knew that immediately. Still checked for other issues. Rebuilt carbs will make all the difference in power and street driving. Well done as always Nick.

[@MM_in_Havasu]

This engine is in great mechanical condition, the run-on issue when shutting it down may be due to some hot spots in the cylinder heads, or sparkplug heat range IMHO. Carbs? Float settings, power valve in center carb leaking a bit, did anyone drill out fuel orifices in the outboard metering plates? Outboard carbs opening OK when throttle is advanced. Just my guess, having worked on stuff like this in the past, be interesting to see how it runs when you get the carbs back from your guy, and see how well it cleans up. These 440-6 bbl engines haul some serious butt! Kudos to you, Nick, for admitting a mistake and explaining why, and fixing it correctly to do a dyno pull. Right on, that is classy. You rock, man.

[@seanjohnson386]

Nick, I'm a long time fan and subscriber to your channel. Good catch on noticing the fuel leak before anything serious happened with the 440. At 12:38 in this video, you demonstrated that you have two fire extinguishers in your dyno room and as a retired Fire Prevention Officer with my municipality's fire department, I'm very glad to see that. However, I also couldn't help but notice that both fire extinguishers are free-standing on the floor. NFPA-10 (National Fire Protection Association - 10), The Standard for Portable Fire Extinguishers, states that portable fire extinguishers are to be mounted such that the bottom of the extinguisher is not closer than 4 inches (100mm) to the ground and the top of the extinguisher is not more than 5 feet (1.524 meters) above the floor. If the Fire Department in your part of Quebec is anything like the one I used to work for here in New Brunswick, then I would be hugely surprised to learn that they have ever sent a Fire Prevention Officer to your shop to perform a fire safety inspection, as our fire department, and the Provincial Office of the Fire Marshal (at least here in New Brunswick) tend to focus their inspection efforts more so on residential and institutional buildings (nursing homes, special care homes, etc.). Anyway, I just thought I'd let you know about that little technicality. Please keep up the great work you and your team do in keeping old school muscle flexing into the future.

[@jeremiahchamberlin4499]

I noticed fire extinguishers on the floor as well. I’m not a professional who can cite regulations, and I’m not Canadian, either, but I think the U.S. has similar OSHA or NFPA regulations. As part of the maintenance team at a major industrial site, it was my responsibility to perform a monthly inspection of our department’s 50-odd fire extinguishers. They were all mounted waist or chest high, and they all required identifying signage installed 10 ft above floor level so that the extinguishers could be located behind rolling rack, behind or beside machinery, etc. I’ve noticed similar signage in retail settings (Walmart, Lowe’s, etc. As a technician, I questioned the need for installing the signage, but I came to see the wisdom of it. Now, entering an an establishment, a quick glance around tells me where every extinguisher in the room is, and I find comfort in the knowledge.

It happened right after he started it one day at home. He got it put out quick but it was a mess cause he used one of those powdered soda fire extinguishers. It got it put out fast though. Didn't take much, just one spark from those old wires. There was minimal damage since it was put out so fast.

Center carb is lean, the outer two are dumping fuel, judging by the flow thru the boosters. I'd suggest lowering the outer carbs' float levels to temporarily see if it helps. They have metering plates, there are aftermarket plates which use jets. There may be 35hp in the jetting.

[@nickpanaritis4122]

You are correct.

[@throttlebottle5906]

with that high of compression and cast iron heads, it will rattle itself to oblivion if leaned out much at all. (pre-ignition death). leave it alone, especially if they drive to higher altitudes than where it's currently at. while that lean was idle looked way overboard, lean idle is very old school plug clean/anti-foul for loafing around on the streets technique, it needs to instantly be fat/lots of accel pump on slightest pedal touch to not rattle apart.

[@richardfehr1838]

Actually, higher altitudes will richen up the mixture even more, as there is less O2 per cubic foot at higher altitudes. This is also why more compression is used at higher altitudes. You could look it up.

@@richardfehr1838 in a perfect world yes, that's what always happens. in the real world with various carburetors, ignition systems, compression, spark pugs and head design, bad things can happen with any elevation change. like a second ignition in middle of exhaust/intake stroke. example: waste spark ignition setup and too much leftover fuel with hot spots. yes that can happen even when it's rich. nothing like some thin air to find flaws, as well as lean at sea level. 🤪

[@cliffords.8341]

As a retired motorcycle technician and machinist, doing what Nick does except dyno tuning I really enjoy watching him. I used to adjust the fuel/air mixture by ear and used either vacuum gauges or mercury sticks to synchronize each carburetor to the other and set the ignition timing if adjustable. Test ride the bike to check for jetting needs etc. I built my own 1980 GS1000ET Suzuki inline four DOHC, undercut 5 speed transmission with 3.5mm 10.25 :1 O.S. pistons, aftermarket cams blue printed the engine Vance & Hines megaphone exhaust and Dyna ignition and Red line was 8,500 rpms and it would pull to 10,000 rpms in fifth gear at around 151 mph with stock carburetors and a box with a K&N air filter. The torque kept it pulling hard, but it was under geared. I probably could have got another 10 mph had I geared it taller, but i never did. It was a blast to ride. My previous bike, same year and model, but with stock pistons cams, but minor engine work, aftermarket carburetors with stock gearing would only pull to 7,800 rpms. Nick it's a chilly 64° down here in south Florida. I say chilly because I'm a Floridian. 😁 I can wait to see the final HP and torque #'s when you're done tuming that engine. 🧓👍

@@frankparks4900my understanding is the throttle solenoid provided a slightly higher idle , and when shutting down it just went to a lower idle position, it did not completely shut the throttle plates. I had a 1970 Satellite I put a 440 with a factory 6 pack aluminum manifold and factory Holly carbs, it did not have the Solenoid and I never had dieseling/engine run-on. Have talked to and seen on Mopar forums that others have not used them and also had no issues. I would actually suspect the rich running carbs at high rpm’s when testing then shutting down shortly after Dyno pulls has unburnt fuel puddled in the manifold . Just my thought.

[@frankparks4900]

You don't Know what you don't know... Most people who ran them without the solenoids in the day weren't worried with such a thing... The engineers put those solenoid kits on 70-72 340 engines and more than a few HP 440 4 Bl. engines... Knowing that just in case the conditions were right for the "DREADED RUN-ON"... They had you covered! I am a firm believer in the factory service manuals and procedures the Chrysler engineers provided! Even today SO MANY enthusiasts of the carbureted Muscle cars JUST DON'T HAVE A CLUE! Their "solution" after "Carburetor Frustration" is the VERY expensive Fuel Injection rabbit hole! @@jeffosim8789

I build engines over in BC they call me the Duke of engines mostly Ford draggers @ chev anything !!! LS anything but I never invested in a Dyno but I have built Any V8 made since the 50s !!!! Your Chanel is inspiring

[@throttlebottle5906]

they very likely tuned it fat to cope with higher altitudes and high compression(what's a little HP cost vs. it rattling itself apart!). lean idle cleans the plugs when loafing around the streets, although that looked way too lean, the air cleaner and angle of engine in vehicle can change it somewhat. run hard/dyno pull, just idle a bit before trying to shut down, even with lean idle the heads/valves/seats/plugs will cool and it should shut down smoothly.

Thank you Nick...!!! Great episode..!!!

[@FalconXE302]

This type of engine is the reason why it's never a bad idea to update to electronic throttle body fuel injection. I'd check the cam timing with that engine run on. Cylinders might be fuel of carbon causing hot spots and that run on...

[@craigcontofalsky4387]

Nick Your capitulator is out of adjustment on your dyno! Time to resync the two demler tubes inside the variable spin turbine!😂😂😂😂😂

[@pappy017]

Evenin George an Mr Nick!! Have a Great week!!

[@NZMOPAR]

man that thing has some compression must be 12 :1 or better it almost needs a bigger cam or lower the comp down to 10.5 to 1 to suit the cam

[@Suzie-Q2]

You're right on track with the carburetors overhaul. 😊❤

[@silverstreak232]

THAT MOPAR IS BAD ASS MAN!!

[@steveshoemaker6347]

Nick my friend you are the BEST.......Thanks NICKORU and GEORGEORU the camera man = Shoe🇺🇸

[@bcbloc02]

I am sure Nick has plenty of work to do without soliciting work that doesn;t need to be done.

[@fredkelso1089]

Nick, you have a loose booster closest to the distributor, gas is coming out of where its mounted and getting sucked in the air bleed hole

[@joel4491]

Hi Nick noticed that there was hardly any stumble when the 6 pa c k opened

[@NicksGarage]

Yeah, not too bad. 👍

[@JohnRoberts71]

Great content thanks for sharing

[@faerieSAALE]

The weather outside could be 110 in the shade and Nick would still be wearing the long sleeve, turtle neck sweater and shirt...

[@nickpanaritis4122]

Love the heat.

[@johnpage5815]

Thanks Nick good job learn something today on compression test thank you

[@archieguitarz4700]

Nice vid Nick. I noticed right away the rear carb was leaking at the beginning of the video. Just after you turned on the fuel pump.

[@attiliopampanin9503]

Gas spray is very weak in the center carb, very strong on the other two hardly any spray when wide open on the center one

[@troysearcy4110]

You're a bad ass nick

Great video Nick, thank you for sharing!

[@NicksGarage]

Glad you enjoyed it!
