Always give Hillbilly his due credits! He's a great worker.

It was so fun meeting you all on the road. The car is awesome and you guys made my daughters day. She is such a huge fan. We fixed a piece of our bumper today and she said “beat that Robby Layton!” When we fixed it. She was shocked when she met you only hours after that. She hasn’t stopped talking about it even after 2 hours of driving later. You guys are great! Thanks for taking the time to talk with us.

I started watching Matt's offroad recovery, then fab rats after the golden nugget rescue, from then your channel. You're now one of my favourite auto channels on KZread. You almost restored a lot of that car mechanically before you even got it on the road. Well done, this is going to be an epic build. I can only drive auto with my hands due to a work accident but I would love to sit in that car if I won it and feel it running, even get a lucky chauffeur to drive it for me.

Hi Bill. I’m so sorry about your cancer. It’s not fair, but the Layton Nation respects your fight and we are proud to support this build. It will be a fun one because this is every car guys dream. Thank you Robby for the edutainment and adventure. Hey, Hillbilly, my hats off to you as well. Ernie, keep your eye on things so everyone gets home safe.

Great to see some 'old timer schoolin'' by Ernie. Nice to have you back with 10 working fingers!

Don't ditch the old wheels that were on it, I love that style. Hopefully soon I'll be getting my hands on a 69 also!

Apparently Paul from Fabrats is aiming to do a race with Cleatu s Mc Farlane so hopefully all our favourite channels might cross over soon. Meanwhile, I'll watch Robby and think "all these new parts must be hurtin' a feller's billfold? A guy might need to see what parts he can save on, you know?" Robby didn't even check the trunk.

@@prdoohan The syringe method works because you don’t need to fill it with the precisely correct amount. As long as there’s enough gas in the bowl to get the engine started and running for long enough for the fuel pump to fill the new fuel lines, the fuel inlet valve and float will then take care of maintaining the correct fuel level in the float bowl. So what he’s doing is just a shortcut so he won’t have to crank it for a long time since it’s starting out with a completely dry fuel system.

Many decades ago, my Dad (ex WWII REME mechanic) and me changed the flywheel and clutch on a UK Ford Cortina in 30 minutes. That's from drive on to drive off. We only had ramps not a lift. No one believed us but that just made it all the more special.

It's amazing how it's easier to find new parts for a '69 than the '90s cars that we have! Another enjoyable video, thanks.

You trying to rebuild the whole thing before you drive it home? Wow, you guys are going at it strong. It is coming along great.

What a fantastic look over the shoulder of restoring the 69 charger. The logistics of pre-ordering the replacement parts, to troubleshooting the alternatives. Thankyou for shining the light on darkness. 🌏🇦🇺

Robbie, as a Mopar guy all of my life (since I was 10) and knowing you are a big Mopar guy also, I'm curious...since you replaced so many things on the Charger to have a safe, trouble-free, reliable drive all the way back to Utah...why didn't you just get a Mopar chrome electronic ignition box and distributor kit or an MSD 6AL box and distributor for the car? Points are not the way to go for several reasons, they're old tech, they can move around, burn, corrode, the condenser can go out, plus, electronic ignitions provide more spark and increase gas mileage and power. I have converted many Mopars to a Mopar chrome box setup, Pertronix or an MSD performance ignition over the years...they all work GREAT to improve drivability, reliability and even for a day at the dragstrip ripping off 1/4 mile blasts. I just found it odd that you going to use that old, worn distributor, points and condenser for such a long drive home. We love that you are going to fix up this car and give it away to a Subscriber, we're looking forward to some great videos showing the process. We love your channel.

@darrinrice367

2 жыл бұрын

I agree with your assessment of the reliability of electronic ignition; it's definitely an upgrade. I run an MSD box and coil on the cammed up 350 Vortec in my '63 Impala, and I surely don't plan to revert to factory stock. However, I think it's worth keeping in mind that just because electronic ignition systems are a move up doesn't mean the prior tech is horrible. I've driven hundreds of thousands of miles with point/rotor/condenser ignition systems. Do they fail? Occasionally, I guess, although -- personally -- I've never had one leave me on the roadside anywhere. But the parts are cheap, and EASY to swap out with the simplest of tools, and if you check them every time to change your oil, and replace them as needed, you'll very likely be A-OK. If you've got a rig that's burning out ignition parts in the distributor, there's something else going wrong that needs to get sussed out.

Awesome video Robby. Hope you can run a derby sometime this year and Tell Ryan that does not look like a roundback wagon. And I think the name Dixie sounds decent.

Listening to you guys talk Transmissions reminds me of my Dad Good Memories Thanks Guys Keep up the Good Work

Good job!! Lots of work done. Keep at it, you will be rolling in no time. No breakdowns on the way back home. Your going to make it trouble free.

A 66-69 440 is internally balanced. 70-71 440-6 engines are externally balanced (little weight) and 73 and up cast crank 440's are externally balanced (big weight). The weights will be on the flywheel and damper.

Maybe I am missing something, but what would be wrong re-using the stock wheels since the purchased ones don’t fit?
