The mopar slant 6 is such an underappreciated power plant. Always loved them, so smooth and plenty of power on tap if tuned properly. I still remember my old man towing a 74 seater Leyland bus for 300+ miles with his Valiant Safari wagon. Up and down serious hills and valleys without breaking a sweat.

You might want to hook up the throttle pressure linkage before you cook the trans, and the vacuum advance goes to ported vacuum, not manifold.

Yes you will SHRED the clutch discs with no throttle pressure linkage! Set it to have the throttle lever on the transmission be fully rearward by the time your carburetor gets to wide open throttle. It is better to set it so the carb stops even a little before WOT, as long as the trans lever is all the way back! Needs full line pressure in the transmission!

My oldest son bussed tables and washed dishes to save up his money to buy a 75 Duster. We worked a week of my vacation to put a 400 big block in it. It made for a mean little ride. Its life was ended when a drunk and stoned person rear ended it with another vehicle. I was amazed that the rear glass was still intact as it stuffed the trunk into the rear seat. My son drove it home, with me following close behind. We were going to put a trunk pan in it next, I'm glad we didnt now. My son sold it for the engine and what parts that could be salvaged. That was a sad day. The local police didnt even give the other guy a ticket. At least the other car DIDN’T drive away. The rollback driver had a hard time just getting it loaded. Cheers Terry

Slant 6 Was my first hand-me-down. I spent countless hours learning how to work on cars on that old two door. Before you swap out the automatic for a manual try putting in a shift kit. Back in the day I installed a B&M shift kit and it really helped wake up the transmission. I’m talking tire chirping good times!

I wrote pretty much a full article on another comment above and it hasn't seemed to work too let them know about this Mopar Trans. And the incredibly important linkage that is on the Trans valve body that controls the pressures and the shifting points to work properly and not burn the clutches and drum liners in a very fast way. Even if you're in first with the shifter it's going to only get the idling pressure and not really hold the clutches tightly for very long and it creates a lot of extra heat in the fluid. I hope that they put a piece of linkage or something like a TV cable on a gm Trans and it literally will act like a totally different car!

@billyputnam6892 2 ай бұрын
@@BudgetBuildz guys I'm not good with this comment thing. But that A904 Auto Trans has a very important lever for telling the Trans how much throttle it is seeing and it literally will adjust the entire pressure for holding the clutch pack more tightly and it also tells the Trans when to make shifts at the correct speed and the kick down is also done with the same lever and it makes the valve body work in a entire different way and it will make a massive difference in power delivery and can use the torque converter to create a much more torque and way more power when it is not fighting the entire parasitic loss from it literally only seeing a idle amount of holding pressure and it makes everything work twice as hard with no torque multiplication and the sun gear and planetary gear will not work correctly. This will wake it way up! Good luck. And it literally needs a four barrel that is a more adjustable across from front to back so the end cylinders doesn't run as lean. BP

Your washing technique is getting way better. Wet car, foam cannon, and then do a good rinse with the power washer. If that power washer is anything higher than 1700psi, you’ll damage paint on most cars if you get it too close. The magic erasers are a good idea. I just don’t know if you need them. You could use those microfiber wash mitts. The ones with all the dangly microfiber fingers. You just need to use like 4 or 5 on a super dirty car. Then use the magic erasers on the hard stuff since those are mildly abrasive. You are usually doing a cut and polish after anyways, so I may not matter. Keep up the awesome videos. I’m always jealous that you get to spend that amount of time with your dad. Plus you both have such a good attitude while doing frustratingly hard work. Rock on

You watch one slant six video and up pops suggestions for others.... and so my brain (74) kicked in and remembered a slant six duster I had since new and then parked when money improved. I had probably more snow machines than anyone should ever own.... hence a slide draft carburetor set up in the making.... I put one on every cylinder and it would lift the tires off of the ground for about twenty feet. The weak point was a three on the column shift... scattered every transmission that I put behind it. I adapted a M22 from a chevy and it held till it blew up after a ton of races and just ran out of oil. A outfit in Minnesota builds superchargers for these and they make over six hundred horse power. Its a all custom setup but can you have more fun in clothes than that

How do we get ahold of these guys when it's really important that they need to know about the Mopar A904 Transmission has a level to control the line pressure and the shifting points and it literally will just eat it in a incredibly short time. I can't believe that it was so apparent that the converter was just blowing right through the flash point and it gets incredibly hot in just a few minutes of it shifting from 1st to 3rd in 75 feet. But even when you manual put it in the number 1 location/First gear it's still on the idling pressure of the valve body! And I was also very surprised by how little oil was in the valve train station area where it is normally spraying around a lot more from the center feed tube ? I seriously think that was a very fresh build and it literally was not ever broken in or even possibly ever started? I just don't know how to get ahold of them before it's too late and ruined. I built a few of those and I used a lot different carburetor (Holly 500/600/650/700 on a supercharged one.the edelbrock is a very good bolt on most engines and runs. The slanty is very easy to get the longer port's of the intake runner's that can go to a very lean situation where it is more than just regular driving. But a Holly is more capable of being adjusted more like a single port for each 2 sets of runner's and sometimes you can use a couple different heat stages lower in the farthest cylinders and literally is a ton of lost information on these engines. But they are wicked good in the lower Rpms for torque and power and depending upon which one that engine came from it is very possibility to have a early Forged rotating assembly in the bottom end and it might have a newer version head for the adjustable valve train and more flow etc. I just wish I had a good way about how to tell them what to look for and make sure that they have the oil pump engaged and not just a very limited amount of pressure?

What a great little car, I had a 1963 Dodge Dart convertible (as in the photo) in 1971 and that had the 225 slant six motor, with the push button gears, I loved that car but unfortunately it was quite rusty, I remade the door tops from sheet ally, as they had rusted away, and repainted it, plus I put a sidewinder exhaust on it, as was the fashion of the day, and had the accessory feet for the throttle and dipper switch but unfortunately old yankee cars have gone through the roof here in the UK, can't get one for a couple hundred quid now 🥲 Luv watching you and your dad working on these vehicles, keep it going 👍

Love it! She at least deserves a small block V8 and a 4 speed and a decent rear end.

I made Fifth Place in the July 4, 1962 Pikes Peak race in a 1962 Duster slant six. That car will hold the curves on loose gravel better than most any car in the races.

I really love the GMC motorhome but I really like the Duster. The Torqueflite transmission was a pretty good transmission overall. Check the transmission filter ASAP as over the years I have found that it can cause a lot of problems. It's a real fine filter and will plug up easily. Worked at a garage and when people thought their transmission was bad we just replaced the filter and slippage stopped. They thought we were awesome. You could also shift kit it and kind of manual sift when you wanted. Please don't put an 01 on the door. :-) So glad you got the brake tools. Always made me cringe when you did brakes also. Go get em!!

The orange paint is giving me a Dukes of Hazzard vibe. Might need some Nascar style wheels and some numbers on the side.

It's a pretty gutless motor, but it's EXTREMELY dependable. Can beat on that motor all year and it'll take it like a champ! Love the one in my 62 Belvedere!

Slant-six may mot be the biggest powerhouse, but it has the advantage of being almost impossible to kill. Back it up with the right transmission and rear end, it'll be fine.

Body cleaner than the 76 Duster I dailied from 98 to 01. Lots of fun in that car, both driving and parked.

Nice looking dodge love old cars and trucks I'd put a v8 engine in it and a 5 or 6 speed trans but a 4 speed transmission is good keep up the good work the slant 6 is a great engine it's good on gas I like it when you and your dad bring older model vehicles back to life and like you said and I agree the older vehicles do deserve to be back on the road again

you can shift kit the 904 pretty easy. I would also swap the 4bbl for a 2bbl. 500 CFM.

I've always been a big fan of the "leaning tower of power," the famous slant 6! You won't find a tougher, harder to kill engine then the little slant 6. They will run forever with the barest of maintenance.

Love Dusters/Darts/Demons/Valiants. Owned a few of them and wish I still had one of them again! slant 6 or 318 were all low compression engines and run the same unless you do some parts replacing. That burnt orange is my favorite color on any car!

I had a Dodge Dart with a slant 6, I paid $150 for it. It was rusted out somewhat in the floor, but that started every morning, even in the bitter cold. That was the most dependable car. It was my first car in 1977. I don’t even remember the year it was. Memories.

Check out Uncle Tonys Garage. He has an entire series that he's done research on the slant 6. I'm sure you can get more out of it. Also love this series and you should go all the way with this car. Budget weekend car cruise in resto.

Adjust the valves while running. It’s kinda bouncy but can be done and way quicker. Made a world of a difference on my old Slant
