I absolutely love Fury-ous 1965 Plymouth Fury wagon. Suckin Gas & Haulin Ass. The dark tinted windows and the old paint job with all the custom pinstripping just suits it. That loopy idle from 383ci is music for the soul. My classic is only 35.5 years old, but factory original through out including the paint. I even have fluffy dice for the rear view mirror.

Wow those hoses and that steel in the dumpster were an amazing find. It’s always cool to see what some people throw out.

Seriously! Just think what the value of that air tank alone is.

I worked on race cars for over a decade, so take this however you like. We ran restrictors rather than thermostats. The restrictor is essentially a stat with the guts removed, it slows the water down enough to get cooled by the radiator, where with a thermostat it's one more part that can fail. Open cooling system ran 20 degrees warmer than a restrictor in our application. I think you should get some radiator/block flush to help get that muck out. Also yes, a shroud is a must have.

The restriction also makes the water pump push a sufficient amount of water through the block and heads.

I went through the rusty block/running hot thing with my 383 as well. I finally did a couple citric acid flushes and that cured it. You HAVE to neutralize it afterward. The shroud might help but that's mostly for low-speed airflow. Your issue was the same as mine, plenty of airflow but not enough heat transfer from the block to the coolant to the radiator to the air. I would ditch that flex fan asap. Not only can they self-destruct, but they turn into a revolving wall of airflow obstruction when they flex straight. Mopar ALWAYS used 7-blade clutch fans on HD cooling applications through the '60's and '70's. I'm pretty sure you shouldn't have ATF inside the speedo cable. That could migrate up the cable into the speedo. There are two o-rings inside the speedo cable adapter on the trans. One large around the outside and one small inside to seal the cable(edit: it seals the steel part of the driven gear). You can buy those kits. Be sure to put the adapter back in the same spot as it was, because it's oblong, so if you put it in differently (rotationally) it can position the driven gear too close to the drive gear and kill the plastic driven gear. Google that, it'll make sense. Last of all, if you have to do any weird stuff to get the trans to shift on time then something with the throttle rod to the trans(that's what Mopar calls it, not a kickdown rod) is out of whack. I would suspect that installation of the Holley EFI as the culprit because there are adjustments that are made to that rod and it's linkages per the FSM. Torqueflites shift nicely once the throttle cable is dialed in.

I concur. The factory clutch fan with steel blades is the best set up to use. Flexi fans are scary dangerous. The other info is spot on too.

I think the thermostat-no thermostat debate seems very vehicle specific, I've been a fully qualified mechanic for 36 years (in the UK) and seen a lot of over heating problems... obviously. Some vehicles you can just chuck out the thermostat and they'll be fine, others the overheat will get worse. So what I'm saying here is 'whatever works for you' is the right way to go! Great video Chris I'm glad you finally got the title for the Fury.

As for those of us who say that running an engine without a thermostat will actually make an engine run hotter, you just proved us right. When you impeded the flow of water through the radiator with the piece of screen, the engine temp went down to 195. Without a thermostat, the coolant goes through the radiator too fast and does not have enough time to cool. Take the old thermostat and cut the center out of it and install just the outer ring. This should slow down the flow enough to work. A shroud is a must also.

The Tascam DA 88 was a professional, digital audio recorder/playback unit in the 1990s. We actually had one running our Electric Nights show at Knott's Berry Farm in the 1990s. It's funny to see how much these old electronics fall in price as the years go by. I got my current laserdisc player for $19 at Goodwill but it retailed new for over a thousand.

Unique moments all through the episode but my favorite is finding the channel locks sticking through the floor of the car … ‘I’ve been looking for those!’ . Glad you got the lift but with your style it almost seems like cheating 😎

“This is exactly what I’ve been waiting for”🎉🎉

It’s nice seeing this old wagon getting some love!

That EFI is probably going to run really rich until it relearns with the proper fuel flow. It was probably working the other injectors really hard to make up for the fact that one of them wasn't there before.

The thermostat allows the coolant (water and antifreeze) to stay in the radiator a longer amount of time to cool the overall temperature of the engine to a lower temperature. There is a bypass hose in or near the water pump that allows the coolant to be pumped/circulated in the block till the thermostat opens to allow coolant to flow out to the radiator -- to be held in the radiator for cool-down, then back to the engine as cooled down coolant. The radiator is really a fluid to air intercooler. The thermostat does not fully stay open, it gradually opens a little bit at first, sometimes it goes full open, sometimes it's going full open and full closed to regulate the ideal running temperature of the engine as designed by the factory. I hope this clears things up. So yeah install the correct opening temperature thermostat for that engine. I would also find a factory fan shroud or a later plastic one that will fit correctly.

WOW, so much rust! When I worked at a MOPAR dealer, we used Wynn's Products a lot. I particularly loved the cooling system flush. I would buy some for home and run on my own old vehicles, sometimes for n2-3 weeks before flushing out. My cooling system turned out bright shiny brass in the radiator and no overheating anymore.

That D-88 was a staple in every audio studio. It cost thousands back in the day.

We put a washer in spot where your thermostat goes in slow the water down. Keep it in the radiator longer to help cool it if you got it open, it blows too fast cool

Was wondering when someone would catch on and yep you did, nearly identical setup in my 1965 Fury III factory bb car. for the last 5 years been dropping magnets 6 round ones together in the rad just like you did except i attached one to the end of a metal coat hanger and use it fish out the 6, results look identical to yours... and that was after a machine shop hot tanked the block! 727 is the best auto trans ever made but i upgraded to a 1972 model (out of an Rv paid 150 still pulls hard no rebuild 5 years later) which are the best version. Have a larger front bushing and upgraded valve body. valve bodies on 65 and older are pro to cracking which mine was as well as my brothers. Tried to jb weld, didn't go well so yeah, ditch the old cable driven for a 71 or newer. i installed a B and M star something shifter, adds to the cool factor! Have a 1975 version 727 out of a Jensen i purchased bout 4 years ago. Help me install it and you can have the one that's currently in my car! Can purchase a Mopar Performance Fan Shrouds P2998326 from summ it racing bolted right up to my aluminum rad but different brand than yours. ditch the flex fan for a 6 or 7 blade with clutch and mr gas ket high flow stat and your good to go! I'm calling you out on a head to head best of 3 drag race with Fury! Yeah the Fury's back!

Purpose of a thermostat in a car is to keep the car in a temperature range. If you take out the thermostat, your car may not warm up fast enough in cold days. So you are right, the car will stay cooler than without one.

Chris, I have an old Fisher and what you’re referring to the tuning knob being weighted. They do in fact have a round weight on the back.

Something to consider old cars with verticle flow radiators can benefit from a upper radiator hose coolant filter to prevent clogging from rust one time while my 396 was hanging from a hoist I pulled the block freeze plugs and used a steam pressure washer and blasted the water jacket and it looked like gravel washing out of the block

Love watching what your doing to preserve these old motors, they don’t make them like that more

Mine came brand new with one injector unplugged. I used some small zip ties and put the clips together. It is super easy took like ten minutes. The prongs on the crossover tube are a little thought to put back. Also use dielectric grease on spark plug wires . I also wired my ignition system to a water proof really. It cleans up the input signal for Efi. Also unpin and extra wires in harness you are not using. Make sure in settings your ac kick down is turned off if you don’t have ac. I also set the IAC too 25% throttle position. This helps when cruising and you let off throttle it will not fall to fast and cause hesitation. Awesome channel! This thing s have worked for my unit all cars are different and your results may vary

You two are the most down the earth people!

When we raced stock cars running5500 rpm in 1st gear. Aka extream conditions. They did overheat. We found running the ring of the bad thermostat. With the slight restriction worked well. We cut the thermostat off the ring

Subbed! I used to have a '70 roadrunner with a 383 that also had a Purple Shaft Cam in it from Direct Connection. Love this wagon man, keep up the good work!

It is good to see the Fury Wagon getting some love. I have a soft spot for old wagons like that. It reminds me of my childhood. Good stuff Chris.

This too was one of my first shows, the other was a bonfire down the Delaware river on an iceberg adventure. Classic. Can’t believe I didn’t get you to sign my original Furry and Leo shirt when I had the chance. Another awesome one Buddy.

absolutely love this car. my dad had one just like it when I was 10 years old I love the new garage is looks great!

Great video as always! Love the 65 Fury! Keep doing videos on this great classic station wagon!

My first car was a Corsica. It was the blue they offered in 92! Loved that car and do genuinely miss it. Lots of good teenage memories

Happy to see the Fury situation is resolved.

Love the fury!! My dad has a 65 sports fury 2 door, trying like hell to get him to get it going.

So glad you got a title for the Fury. Such a cool car, deserves to be driven.

Glad you finally got the title issues figured out on this Fury Wagon and the Chevelle! On the cooling system/no t-stat deal, it can and will most definitely overheat (especially at higher engine speeds) since there is no restriction, as the coolant is flowing into and out of the radiator too quickly to be cooled effectively. How badly (or even if, really) that happens will depend on the radiator size, it's flow capabilities, the pumping ability of the water pump impeller, the overall flow rate of the coolant passages in the block and heads, and the ambient temperature. A fan shroud is a great idea! As you know, they do really help the fan to pull the air through the radiator instead of just buffeting all around under the hood. Also, some folks think that coolant does the job of cooling. Nope. The water in the mixture is the part that actually transfers heat. Coolant raises the boiling point of water, and lubricates the water pump bearings and seals. I wouldn't go much beyond a 50/50 mix of coolant and distilled water, and lean more towards more water than coolant. And, yes, use distilled water, as it doesn't have any suspended minerals, or at least shouldn't. I have a neighbor whose 79 Ford Van would overheat. The shop who worked on it before I did seemed to have run straight coolant trying to chase down a "running hot" issue. I installed a good quality Stant 180 stat, blew out the radiator fins with compressed air (from the fan side to the grille side), filled it with about a 40% coolant (NAPA Green) and 60% distilled water, and she no longer overheats. Take care, bro, and stay cool!

Flex fans are ok for low speeds. The more rpms, the flatter the blades get to lessen the drag. Stock fan and shroud is the best option. Love the channel.

The issues with the cooling system reminds me a lot of the problems Derek from VGG had with the Bricklin -- Hopefully Dan from DD's Speed Shop sees this video and learns something.

Should have waited for the end. Treasure in the dumpster, goodyear hose is the best, used it at the printing plant. Not to mention all the hose end fitings, new ones are junk. happy hunting, ask that guy if he has any rubber stop balls for the hose reels.

I got to say I absolutely love that Fury . Although me and you will have to agree to disagree when it comes to thermostats my 68 Roadrunner 440 never ran 210 degrees even with the factory radiator cuz basically that's all I had back then, not like today. Come to think about it when I first tore down that 440 Interceptor engine out of a Florida state trooper car that block was so full of crap I can't believe that the trooper car didn't overheat. I actually boiled that block out with a 50/50 mix of muriatic acid kind of a home remedy hot tank. Thermostats are actually a dual purpose, it helps to let the motor warm up so that your heater works while the radiator is cooling a fresh batch to return to the hot engine. It's like you said if you don't put a thermostat in it never gets hot so your heater would never work until eventually the temperature goes all the way up like it did and there's no way to cool the motor like I said we will have to agree to disagree to each his own doesn't matter anyway I would always show you and Jen respect no matter what as that's the school of teaching that I was raised in. Anyhow God bless and take care can't wait till your next video

chris u got an incredible back yard ! would never be bored there......

Stockings work well to catch debris in the cooling system also

Without a thermostat during winter is fine because ambient temps aid in cooling. Utilizing a thermostat during summer is beneficial if the cooling system is properly functioning. Shroud, clean system and coolant. Radiator sheds heat when thermostat closes, allowing for cooler fluid to cycle through engine when thermostat opens resulting in cooler running temps. It absolutely works and smart to do so If it didn't function as designed, they wouldn't be on all vehicles.

I would suggest that you stick a water hose on full, open the petcock and let it run while the engine is running. The thermostat will continue to allow the water to heat and cycle the rust out. I would also suggest to you the good old prestone flush for the final flush. I enjoy your show!

Woo! Always a good day for new NNKH!

Great score on the dumpster, go price strut and heavy wall 3/4" conduit, don't sell yourself cheap if you flip it.

I love your channel. I had a 1970 Gran Fury Sport. It had the 727 torque flight as well. The filter was very close to the bottom of pan and clogged up a few times. You could drive a few hundred feet, and it would suck the crap up and clog. I would shut the car off for 10 minutes or so and then it would go again. Yeah, it was pretty nasty in that transmission. It took a couple of fluid changes to clear it out. But it ran fine afterward. The car had the 383 magnum. That was 1978.

I agree 100% with your theory on thermostats Chris!! I've done the experiment here in (admittedly tropical) Queensland Australia, much like California weather I'm guessing. We get 6 degree Celsius mornings and 39 degree Celsius summers...and my 1970 ute ran perfect with no thermostat and flex fan with OEM shroud. I tried even cutting the centre out of the thermostat so it was a 'restrictor' plate, but no thermo works best. (I would pay the extra to get a brass and copper radiator repaired rather than an alloy one.)

I think it would be worth it, to hot tank the bumpers and grill.

That car is a blast! Think about one thing like driving down the highway right at first with no thermostat and hitting 212 and then driving around town with the screen in and rust build up restricting the water and you hit 177.....Hmmm. There is a difference between running no thermostat and a thermostat with the center piece taken out. You have flow but there is some resistance to slow the water down while it is going through the radiator. I'm old and that is how we did it way back when, when we needed more cooling. Then put a complete stat in when winter comes so you have a working heater. Also back when you were looking at the 68 (I think) Lemans out west you said it was an Olds engine. I think it was a Pontiac engine. Back then all the GM divisions pretty much had their own engine. You can tell a Pontiac because the intake runners are open and there is a separate center pan under it covering the lifters & push rods. NOBODY would put an Olds engine in a Pontiac!! 🙂

This is by far my favorite ride on the channel, glad to see it getting love again.

As always love your videos if you put out a 1 hr video every day I'd watch it. I do the same thing grab what's people are throwing always and make use of it my friends give me crap all the time keep it up man

I’ve used that very same in-line filter on my 51 Plymouth. It was wonderful and eventually cleaned up the original radiator.

I always appreciate the heavy tuning and volume knobs too

I cannot wait for the chevelle videos. Love that car

Something I've used in the past was a flush kit that has a "T" fitting that hooks into your heater hose and it comes with motor flush. You put that motor flush in and run the engine for about 20 minutes and then you take a water hose and hook it to that "T" fitting and turn it on till the water runs out clear. I've had a lot of good luck in the past and it really cleans out the cooling system

LOVE the videos! super informative to shade-tree mechanics like myself. also......LOVE all the music you listen to in the background! Keep 'em coming!!

What you need to remember about the thermostat is that your radiator (If it is working properly and not full of rust) is that all other things being equal , the radiator is far better at getting rid of heat in it's system than the engine is at putting heat into the same system. The engine loses heat through more than just the radiator. First the system's fan is very good at ridding radiated heat from the engine's skin, including the exhaust system. Then the radiator is dedicated at cooling the liquid in it's innards. That's all it has to do. The issue that so many guys don't have a clue about is that our engines are designed to operate at around 195*F. If you habitually run with out a thermostat, and all otherwise is well, you may only get the engine's heat up to 170-180*F. At that temperature you risk scuffing the skirts of your pistons and that resulting damage will affect the efficiency of the engine. I'd most heartily recommend not operating your cars without thermostats.

Sixties, every family had a station wagon. I remember one family close to us had a brand new Fury. Boy, was I jealous. Another family had a brand new Chevy that overheated every day on their Grand Canyon vacation. Our station wagon was a ..... Rambler. We later got a brand new AMC Rebel wagon. It was a good car. That Fury looked great, though.

I took the thermostat out of my c10 w/406ci sbc street/strip deal and on the highway after only a few minutes of driving it over heated, went with 160° high flow stat no over heating!

by fitting a thermostat it allows the water in the radiator a chance to cool longer by slowing the water flow through the engine... hence making the engine run cooler.. try it you will be surprised.

What I want to know is how you got that 240g air tank out of the dumpster and into your truck by yourself, Ha! I love the Fury, I'm really glad to hear you got the title sorted out. Maybe Part 3 needs to be you replacing the whole exhaust with new pipe and some flowmasters?!

You have to have a lot of Whoah before a lot of Go. Great job on fixing the drum brakes and flex hoses.

The ending was one of those moments where you say. If I could only duplicate myself for this, I wouldn’t need help. Great video. I think a set of new pipes would be the right move.

I used to put a hose “T” in one of the heater hoses and the kit came with all adapters you need and you hook up the garden hose and away you go…. Works great!

Found your channel through the Plymouth fell inlove with the car and loved how you fix things, Plymouth Fury is such a beauty

Yes, it is a common misconception that slowing down your cooling system improves performance. It is true that slowing down the flow rate will cause the outlet coolant to be cooler, however, that's not the entire picture. What you really care about is heat rejection. Temperature drop is only one of the variables that dictates heat rejection. We also need to consider flow rate. The equation for heat transfer is Q (Heat) = m (mass flow rate) x C (specific heat capacity) x Delta T (change in temperature). A higher flow rate will always more than make up for the smaller change in temperature you'll see by adding a restriction to the cooling loop.

Jack it up and put ramps underneath. I never try driving up on them maybe just me . I think its a hell of a lot safer

Awesome video Chris and congratulations on you finally getting the titles for the Chevelle and fury. And that was a great deal of you got on the vintage hi-fi., that's one of the good ones

I’d recommend going to a You pull it or salvage yard and source an over flow tank and hose for that rad

thats real smart about the magnets in the rad, man your a genius. whats crazy is those old stackable av boxes used to be in the thousands back in the 70s and 80s. crazy.

I am 67 years old i have been playing with cars for 50 years no thermostat runs cooler you need one in colder countries to get the engine up to running temp to save engine wear dont have to worry about it in australia it dosnt get cold enough keep up the good work buddy
