Final Prep For Crazy 8,000 Mile 1964 Plymouth Fury Trip - Interior Upgrades, Carb Swap, And More!

Alright, spoiler alert... The Fury has already been to Plymouth and back. Heck, if you live in the northern chunk of the country, there's a nonzero chance you saw it out on one of your local highways, depositing extra minerals behind it as it flew by. Unfortunately, SOMEBODY got an absolutely insane amount of footage out there, so getting road trip videos together is going to take a while. For now, let's take a look at the final repairs and improvements Colin made in the days leading up to the trip.

[@waynedavis7245]

The Fury has come a long way. She's looking good.

[@BrandonLeeBrown]

In late 1977 / early 1978, I bought a 1964 Polara 500 with a 426 Street Wedge and 4 speed. The seller was asking $75, but I got it for $50. It was black with red and white striped interior. I I changed the rear end for a Sure Grip one from a 1965 Coronet, that didn't have bolt-on wheel flanges. The 1964 4 speed transmission was an A833, but had a flange to attach the ball and trunnion driveshaft. I added a single plane, cast iron, two-four barrel intake manifold and carbs. The 426 exhaust manifolds took larger pipes than the 383 manifolds and the 426 took an H-pipe. The Dodge dealer sold new 1967 440 915 cylinder heads for $100 each, but a mail order Mopar parts company called, "Ramchargers" sold new 915, closed chamber heads for $100 a pair, plus shipping. The 426 originally came with plain 516 heads. 1964 was Dodge's golden anniversary, 50th year. It came with a factory installed Hurst shifter.

Enjoy your trip / sounds like you have plan . The old Plymouth will love it . 👍🏻🇦🇺.

[@beljames1563]

64 was almost as good a year as 68 wit the Sport Fury and Polara 500 being the stars. Glad you're fixing this one up.

[@Raycr]

Heck! you went just 30 miles away from me! Glad you made it back

[@OdySlim]

I remember doing 101 from Atascadero, CA to Yamhill, OR in the back seat as kid in my Mothers 65 Valiant. There was a place on Mt Shasta that had great corn dogs & rootbeer

[@user-cg1ki9gt4p]

thank you for the show.

[@leonardhirtle3645]

Man that car takes me back. My cousin had a’64 Polara with a 413 and a 4speed. He bought it new and traded it in ‘67 for a Coronet R/T with a 440 with 2 four barrels and a 4 speed. He said the’64 was faster.

[@brendanlittle7127]

Never change the way you do things. Thanks again!

[@joshjesch6000]

I just love the exhaust note of the fury. Sounds like it's ready to cut the world a new one.

[@DeadDodgeGarage]

That’s the magic of a pair of ancient, burned out glass packs!

[@joshjesch6000]

In my younger days we used to pre burn them out by throwing them in a fire before installing. 😆

[@BeefSupreme2-oc4zt]

I love how you are taking an old forgotten car, and not only putting it back on the road, but taking it on an epic trip with your family. I am jealous. I don't have the space at my house for a project of that magnitude (nor tools, skills, motivation 😂😂) so I would have to purchase something already done. I am looking forward to the epic journey! 🥳🥳

[@deaddodgebrother]

I like to rescue old forgotten cars that haven't seen a road since before I was born, it's kinda my whole thing now! Taking them on road trips is just icing on the cake. I'm sure buying a done car would be Easier, but my budget is more aligned with rusty garbage sitting in a field, haha.

[@BeefSupreme2-oc4zt]

@@deaddodgebrother Well, my version of a done car is not too dissimilar from what you are doing. But since I live in the Midwest, air conditioning is a must-have proposition. 🥵🥵🥵🥵😄😄

[@musclecarmitch908]

I'd love to make a trip like that! Especially in a classic car!👍

[@HelpingHand-ic4wt]

ever notice how a '64 Plymouth has a similar kind of raised section that gives an inch or so more height around the perimeter of the front clip as does the '64 Ford rear deck has? And how it was a year or two before these models that Elwood Engle went from Ford to Chrysler as chief designer? Ya, me neither until just now. Fun videos on this car.

[@DeadDodgeGarage]

I haven’t noticed that, but I am well aware when Engle showed up, and that taking the ugly out of the ‘62 B-body was his first big job. Haha.

[@user-gq3qo9wp6v]

Load it up with sound deadening lol. Butyl rubber, closed cell foam, and mass loaded vinyl. Will be very quiet

[@msh11467]

[@RandallSoong-pp7ih]

Cool Man!

[@KrisGreenhill]

Don't edit down videos. Just embrace your inner Zack Snyder. Release a 6 hour director's cut. Put it all in. 😂

[@DeadDodgeGarage]

Haaahaha. I saw the original 2 hour movie and it was terrible, then I saw the 4 hour Snyder cut. Better, but so long winded. The sweet spot would be re-cutting the Snyder cut to 3 hours by taking out all of the slow motion and tightening things up. That would be just right!

[@Stevespoken]

Nice car

[@mutantryeff]

I installed two wonderful leather bucket seats I pulled out of mid-80s Mitsubishi and put them in my 93 D350.

[@DeadDodgeGarage]

I’m on the lookout for nice comfy seats to put in my ramp truck - ideally before I have to drive it 5,000 miles… -Jamie

[@idaholineman5788]

Some of the comfiest seats for pickups are the early 90s Chevy seats..the ones with rolls and look like pleated velvet..by far the comfiest ones I’ve had. Just have to find the thin bench from a single cab

[@rocco3381]

All Edelbrocks seem to need float adjustment out of the box these days. Remember to check yours with the gasket in place. The primaries are usually way too rich off the bat, my 440 has an 800 with .101 primary jets.

[@deaddodgebrother]

I got a calibration kit on the trip intending on pulling the top plate off and swapping the jets out but was satisfied just swapping out needles on springs.

[@rocco3381]

@@deaddodgebrother yep, ran fine with the stock jets but was really rich at idle. Other than the smell it wasn’t an issue. Adjustable air door is a great feature.

[@aulduronsmith5577]

I had a friend who started his old Monte Carlo by pushing the trunk release button in the glovebox.

[@DeadDodgeGarage]

That’s a good one. Haha. I’m assuming my brother told the ‘68 Dart horn button starter story in this video and I didn’t catch that part. -Jamie

[@aulduronsmith5577]

If he did, I also missed it.

[@DeadDodgeGarage]

@@aulduronsmith5577 oh, totally unrelated then. But yeah, that was a fun one. It wasn’t intentional, either. We put a ‘71 engine harness in a ‘68 Dart and it just happened. I don’t even know how we figured it out.

[@aulduronsmith5577]

@@deaddodgebrother Oh yeah, Lol that's why I made the comment. It's getting late for me.

[@leethorp2164]

Back in the day I had a 71 Dart with a 225 motor in it. After it blew up I put a rebuilt 318 with a 340 top end in it. The first time I tried to start it I turned the key and the horn went off. Hmm... Then I remembered that the horn wire and the ignition wire were both green. So I hit the horn button and what do you know? The starter went chug chug chug chug. True story.

[@DeadDodgeGarage]

A classic!

[@rustandmagic]

I think you have a puncture on that wheel at 1:55 ;)

[@SypherF]

Came back to this vid to ask how well that insulation for floor worked? Thinking about using it in my w150 with rubber flooring. Also (after watching DDG replace fury floor pan for motivation) floor pans were replaced by me over past 3 days and are sealed in STEEL-IT paint that was awesome free. Kinda cool paint actually but it would have not been in picture if it wasnt for a homie. Cheers DDG and Morrison for the paint

[@deaddodgebrother]

It worked out great! It's comfortable inside the cab, no exhaust heat etc coming up through the floor. Unless the sun is directly on me/the seat it doesn't get outrageously hot inside, and when it's cold out it stays warm inside... mostly because I don't have a heater shut off valve so there's always heat floating out of the heater. I did the insulation in the video and I also sprang for an extra layer of stuff on the bottom of the carpet when I ordered that. No regrets!

[@SypherF]

@@deaddodgebrother well done DDGB. Looking forward to seeing that fury more

So it IS acceptable to toss a Meep Meep horn into a non-Road Runner? My Valiant just got a tiny bit cooler. 😊 Love the quick cuts (editing) on the bolts- good stuff.

[@DeadDodgeGarage]

I personally don’t think so, but to each his own. Haha. -Jamie

I think it is! But only because I didn't want to buy a whole Roadrunner just so I could meep meep at people.

@@DeadDodgeGarage no problem my distant cousin just curious that's all no big deal hope you have a safe trip

[@p38kris]

Random question what would cause my horn to only work when I pull on the stering wheel?

[@deaddodgebrother]

Hard to say without looking. Does it honk by itself when you pull up on the wheel? Or do you have to pull on the wheel and hit the horn button? Sounds like the horn button isn't grounding/making contact properly. On the wheel I put in the Fury, the horn honks better if I push the bottom part of the button. It doesn't work as well if I hit the side of it.

[@p38kris]

@deaddodgebrother I actually have to pull or push on the wheel to get the horn to sound when I'm pushing the button. 64 dart btw

[@allenm00]

Jamie and brothers: What exactly is your relationship with Rocket? Do you: a) work for them full time b) part time c) just as needed d) other e) none of our business? It appears they are hours away from you per some of your flatbed truck videos. I'm sure I am the only one that is confused but thought I would ask.

[@DeadDodgeGarage]

Sorry, it’s been explained before a time or four, but that was probably 100 videos ago. I work for Rocket on a part time / as needed basis. There is plenty of work to do there but I have problems of my own here as well. Haha. -Jamie

[@user-ym8pd9kj4k]

Why didn't you change the wheel studs while you had the axles out. Hammer them out and use a press to press them in, not as hard on the threads that way, especially because you didn't use any lube on them.

[@DeadDodgeGarage]

Is your press tall enough to fit axle shafts? Cool. Ours isn’t though. Your way is better. But we’ve installed many, many studs just like this. It’s fine.

[@deaddodgebrother]

Because that would have been too easy and I didn't think about it 😅

[@Anthony-nw5zv]

Before you leave the car, what's up with that blue 🔵 light to your right?
