Brilliant episode Scotty & Gus! Even though I'm a Holden man, I have a soft spot for Aussie Chryslers. My dad's old mate had a string of Chryslers with either 245 or 265 engines. They all ran with the triple sidedraught Weber carburettors & he knew how to tune them so they would run perfect. I wish there were more shows like this across the country. The last one I participated in, the cruise was ruined by cops pulling over cars wanting to put defect notices on them but the cruise was organised in advance & no one was showing off or impeding other traffic. It was a charity run & the establishment decided to ruin the day. It was good that the local Chrysler club helped you out which is what clubs & shows are supposed to be about. My dad's brother drove a '71 Dodge VH utility for years until one of my cousins wrote it off in the early '00's. I'm glad everyone there enjoyed themselves & it was good to see your dad's ute again. Hopefully you'll go to another show for filming soon as it was great content.

I once paid for a full tank of mostly rusty orange water. Completely blocked all the passages in the carb so cleaning the jets was only a partial fix. Not to mention the internal ball bearings and springs rusting too. In the end I had to give it to a carb place to get it ultrasonic tanked and flow tested. It was a huge annoyance! 😆 I put a marine filter with a big sight bowl in after that. 😎✌️
