1977 Dodge Monaco parked for 32 years! Abandoned and Stuck 360 Engine! Will it Run?!?

I've had some requests for a Mopar revival on the channel so I picked up the cheapest vehicle I could find on an estate auction. Let's see if this 1977 Dodge Monaco 2 door with a 360 V8 engine will run after sitting since 1989!

Congrats on doing a Mopar! A couple things: Always check the fluid on a Torqueflite with it running in neutral. The pump doesn't pump in park. The AC compressor looks like a York but it's a Chrysler-built RV-2. I think that's a Holley 2245 carb. Lucky it didn't have Lean-Burn...they definitely had it by '77 but not in everything. Mopars are a little different...people tend to be scared of them for some reason.

@@thunderray1987 Yes sir! Reminds me of my 1983 Dodge Ramcharger with the same LA360 and A727 trans.

[@Brock_Landers]

@@thunderray1987 and I used to hear it QUITE a bit because although my truck ran like a dream, after driving it for about 30 minutes it would vapor lock and wouldn't start again until you put either some gas or ether down the carb and then it would start and run like nothing happened...good old Carter Thermoquad...I hated that carb! I swapped my Ramcharger to a 360 Magnum after a fuel tank swap and an upgraded fuel pump. It was a wiring nightmare!

[@paulchildress1525]

Get it started, then trickle some MMO or ATF down the carb to get some lube onto the valve stems. Mixing a little 2-stroke oil into your gas supply will help.

Take ten feet of yellow ski rope lower the piston to bottom of cylinder put as much of the rope in the cylinder as you can get then rotate piston until you lock the engine you can remove the spring on the valve and rotate valve or hook a pair of vice gripes to it and move up and down I have replaced broken springs between races before

[@DennisMurphey]

Well look, you bought it. I really appreciate the video and documentation. But when you had the carb off the first time and didn't go through it i felt your heart was just not into it. And the the valve i felt you would not pull the head. And there you go. Not a bad ride or bad shape but you gotta be a MoPar dude to put your heart and time into the project. Try to find a real MoPar guy and get your money out it. Then pick another trash heap and try again. You make great videos and Duff Dog is a sweety. Keep it alive, I ain't dead yet! Dennis

[@666kty3]

Just a tip....but always pull the sparkplugs in an old engine and put some type of oil in the cylinders for a day or two before turning over. Marvel mystery oil works well. Just dry cranking it like that is a sure way to break a ring for no reason. After that...spin it over without plugs in it to get some oil pressure up.

D100. I ended up pulling of the 2bbl off the truck which had a 318 too. Then putting that carb on the fury and the fury carb on the truck. I rebuilt them both. The truck carb worked well on the fury and the truck wasn't as picky as the fury so worked out good for me. When I got that fury in 1991 it still had the fuel restrictor on it mounted off the alternator between the fuel pump and carb. Then it had the fuel wasting light on the left marker light.

The BONUS is that If you had a running driving donor, along with your complete engine? You could set it up either way... carb or, Fuel injection. I paid 250 dollars for my 97 donor/Laramie SLT with 182K miles & it still kept 60PSI oil pressure.

We had a brown Mopar named "Toad". It had electronic ignition and never ran right with it. Once I replaced the distributor with a points jobby it ran great!

[@MortskeRepair]

Haha sometimes you just gotta stick with what ya know! Toad! What a great name!

Make it turn over again the hard way. Really like your Videos you spend a lot of time on old forgotten machines. There are not many people around who pay any attention on these Ladys with their glitter turns over in a big layer of dust. Greetings from Germany.

Thanks for watching in Germany!

Sears stamped them as 'used' tires is just very funny!!

[@MortskeRepair]

[@bobbyjones8205]

electronic ignition became standard in 1973

[@cliffschannel8036]

Managed a Sears Auto Center “back in the day”, tires marked used were sold at discounted price. Marked used someone could not claim warranty as new tire.

[@MortskeRepair]

Good info! Thanks Cliff!

I am hooked on your videos most of the stuff you get running is from when I was high school or before. I can almost smell the hot engine oil keep up the great videos. Do a GTO 64 -69 that would really bring back some fine memories.
