Absolutely, it might be a day or two but the video is forthcoming.

That’s what I like: two feet on the ground and crank the key for an instant start.

[@TheGasTap]

It's really good at cold starts.

[@AtZero138]

That's a Really good feeling.. your absoluty right.. When I'm at a Gas station, some times I can feel folks wait for me to start my Car.. that whole let's see what she sounds like or even starts hahaha.. Every turn of the Key is me winning.. Peace

Drive on the parkway and park on the driveway, I believe George Carlin said that. Great video.

[@frankjones4950]

It's the perfect sleeper. Only one thing wrong, you need to sell it to me so the proper name can be on the title. Oh and make sure you get to Holt to see the SEGA folks. It'll spoil you to any other racing!

[@davidmo2826]

We are almost to Holt now, Alex is driving. We had a good trip to Cars and Coffee this morning and Gassers this afternoon!!

[@mopargarage7123]

I'd love to see what kinda power numbers that 5.9 is putting down at low boost.

[@ComicalCowboy1911]

"That bitch pulls hard as shiieehhtt!" LOL! That's when ya know all your work has finally paid off my friend! Damn awesome job Alex! Now I'm really motivated to make the video of my car! Just haven't yet because I've been breaking the motor in and seating the rings, oh and tuning! I'll make a video soon enough though! Keep 'em coming for Mr. Jones bud!

[@ComicalCowboy1911]

By the way..............during all your pulls in this video, did you use full throttle? And if so, how's the boost? Too much? Too little? Just right for that particular 5.9? Love to hear what you think about that from your runs so far! I know you're a perfectionist just like I am! :]

[@bcbloc02]

Glad it is holding together! It sounds great. 😎

[@guidosarducci3047]

Happy for you bro. It's coming along nicely. Coolest Valiant around. Turbo sounds so killer. Another great post. thanks for sharing.

This is an awesome build! I love to see when a plan starts to come together. I love seeing Mr. Jones come to life. I hope cars and coffee goes well and super excited for some footage of some racing at the strip! Keep up the good work and thank you for the Inspiration and your videos.

By the way man I forgot to ask what cam you got for Mr. Jone's 5.9! Did ya go with another Hughe's cam? And would you say Mr. Jones is faster than Big Red?

[@TheGasTap]

stock cam right now and I think it will be a good bit faster than Big Red.

What is the paint code on your car? Looking at painting my 68 that color

[@TheGasTap]

F3

[@o2boutdoors]

Nice feeling of accomplishment, huh? Love that car, and part of me hopes you never paint it.

[@chacebryan1559]

I smiled every pull lol. Sounds awesome even on an iPhone. Are you gonna put in a ratchet shifter eventually?

[@davidmo2826]

No plans for a ratchet shifter right now. Too busy smiling.

[@davidmo2826]

They do, Alex keeps them happy by providing them fish. The car is relatively quiet.

[@wmsification]

@@davidmo2826 I use fresh eggs - give em to the neighbors, never a complaint about chop sawing aluminum...

[@Doosterify]

My car was already built when I bought the house I live in now so my neighbors didn't see the build at all, they just knew I have a hot rod that I take out occasionally. Mine is much louder than Mr. Jones with an 11.5 to 1, solid roller 440 and three inch exhaust so when I first moved in I was careful to not make too much noise. After a few months of this, one day I pulled it out and a nice old woman next door comes out and shouts to me, "HEY, I WANNA SEE SOME SMOKE!" Yes ma'am! So I pulled it onto the street, pointed it straight let it rip with a crazy long burnout up the street. She loved it and tuned out so did the other neighbors.

[@TheGasTap]

🤣

[@roodgeregeld]

Did you open ring gap??

[@TheGasTap]

Yes

[@colebean1426]

How are you liking the fitech so far and what distributer are you running with it?

[@TheGasTap]

It’s working quit well. I don’t like that it has a lot of wiring compared to other units. There is also a learning curve with it since they hardly give you any info on how to use it. I’m using a stock replacement car done distributor. Can’t remember the part number but it’s in a few of my videos. It’s from 1986 ram with now advance since that year was lean burn carb.

[@TheGasTap]

Cardone 30-3850 distributor

[@colebean1426]

What fuel pump? I have a new fitevh 1200hp kit sitting here as the build is not done. I have to do the cold side. I've been reading aloy of bad mopar stories with fitech. Including two buddies couple saying the pickup magneto is too week for a good signal. You said in video you have the fitech connected to the points wire (white) on msd box for a signal or for the fitech to control timing?

[@TheGasTap]

Correct. Walbro 470 fuel pump.

[@CashMopar]

What gear ratio? I know you've mentioned it.

[@TheGasTap]

3.55

[@davidszakacs6888]

Some racers convert their transmissions to a reverse pattern (shifting downward instead of upward)with a manual shift kit to eliminate the chance of pushing up on the shifter too hard and going into Neutral.

[@Formerlywarmer]

Cool. MOPAR2YA

[@warhound7781]

Looking good. Definitely has me wanting to do away with the column shift on my 69 Dart project again. I bought a B&M ratchet shifter and was going to hold off using it but this reminded my how much more I like the floor mounted shifter.

[@TheGasTap]

I love the column shift. 👍🏼
