I won the coil!!!!!!! It arrived in the mail today. THANK YOU, Dylan!
Had a couple comments with the word “sellout” because of promoting products in my video. These videos are totally different than the regular revival videos. My intentions in a build series like this are to put together the best car I can and be entertaining for you guys. Yes, I do have sponsors, but I only work with companies I truly enjoy and stand behind. I get to build these cars with the help of you the viewer and these great companies, so please know that just because I have a sponsor’s help does not mean I’m a sellout. That’s an unfair comparison. For everyone else, thank you for your continued support!

Definitely not. A mans gotta eat and having money towards more cars for the channel is great. As long as each build isnt a full 100k build and you do sponsors for companys you back. Nothing wrong with it. Its great to come home and see something more reasonable on youtube and get motivated to do something. Thank you Dylan for your hard work.

Dylan, this Charger sounds great. Now if it were up to me, I would do the body work and paint on this one. It's well worth it, I love these cars. 👍🏻👍🏻

It seems those comments hit a nerve.I found the video a little bit commercial but not annoying.If you use the products you are endorsing and truly believe they are as good as you say they are then by all means continue to endorse them.

No worries Dylan, everyone should know a sponsor spot is just what it takes to keep the videos coming. It's definitely a bonus that the sponsors you promote have good products.
Nice shirt

Hey, you’re that guy.
Keep showing the troubleshooting, so many channels don’t do that and make it appear that everything is plug and play. Anyone who really works on cars understands this. Been on this channel from way back, still loving it.
It's so nice to see KZreadrs supporting and promoting each other. I also like that you're gradually going back and fixing the cars up. Not just "oh look I got it running, now I'll let it sit and rot away some more". Keep up the good work and don't let a few ugly comments from jealous trolls get you down.
Not only are you really good at fixing vehicles,you’re also pretty damn smart for a young man as well. You have your priorities right and you have already completed 2 out of the three rules for rehabbing a vehicle. # 1 was you actually obtained a decent freaking ‘69 Charger! # 2 you are spending the time to get her running and driving to make it reliable. Last but not least # 3. You know that you can make her look pretty and get the interior completed after you had it in tip top shape mechanically speaking. I would much rather drive her around for awhile with the whole car in primer on the outside then have a Charger that was pristine paint and body that had mechanical gremlins and ran and drove like absolute trash!

yes it does !!!
Watching the powertour with this car will be so cool. I can’t wait to see how it drives that long roadtrip
Sounds Fantastic! Body work? Paint? That green is growing on me. Thank You. 😀
That car sounds SWEET !!! Congrats on getting it running better. Hope to see you drive it soon. Keep-em coming. 👍❤️😎🙏
Beautiful charger, brother.
The engine bay looks very neat, man. Amazing stuff.
Engine runs really well with the sniper 2 EFI.
Man I love all of your videos but there's just something about the charger, it was what introduced me to your channel and have been hooked since you bought it!! This is gonna be mine and my brother's first power tour this year and hope to get to see you there!! God bless can't wait to see more to come!!
Plymouth in the background just waiting for his moment 😞
So awesome to see the Charger again, looking forward to seeing more of it!!
Beautiful charger love your channel keep up the good work
I'm loving this series so much, showing all the troubles that you run through, the little details and everything else. I love watching someone take the time to make things right.
Great video as usual Dylan. I cant wait to see what else will be done with this Charger
Can't wait for power tour 😎
One day I swear, you, Sleeperdude JYD, PBG, all need to get together for a build/Rustoration

Great upgrades to the charger Dylan, sounds great!!!
Thats an awesome chager, that 440 sounds amazing. Great work again.
The silent subscriber again.. Way too funny. I was just watching Power Nation 2’s channel on the Hellcat, 69 resto mod at Mecum 😄 Again I was here to catch a premier!👍
1) Check your cylinder leakdown. 2) Backfire through the intake indicates intake valve leakage. 3) Impossible to tune carburetor could be an indication of intake valve leakage or improper cam timing.

Yes and no. Not all the time. As a Frenchman and a mechanic myself, all you had just suggested is very elementary. Do you really believe that this man is still green on this trade.
Way to go Dylan! Thats the way a 1969 Charger should sound! As someone who somewhere down the line, heard one origionally, I would know! So what if you are doing a bit of promo for products, thats what a fast forward button is used for!. I do like knowing what products work.
A lot of people say the 69 charger is overrated but man it’s a beautiful car. It’s the perfect muscle car. It’s the first car I think of when I think of muscle. It’s THE car. It’s just perfect in my opinion
Dylan, I love, love, love the Charger content! I own a couple older Mopars myself and this is right up my alley! Don't change a thing about your channel or the content! We need content like yours to educate and bring in the younger folks so we can keep the classic car era from becoming just a memory. Blessings to you and your family.
Optimas fell off for a little while when production went to Mexico, but ive had 2 red top Optimas over 10 years old and still worked great. Like you, i sold one car with the battery, the other one is still around.
This car deserves some body work and paint. Dylan McCool car!
I need a plymouth scamp 340 in my life
Smoooooooth. Doesn't get any better than this.
I like the fact that you are doing more Quality repairs! Would like to see you do some, Rescue/clean/evaluate/little repair and sell to viewers! people would like a car, but cant find one!!!
I'd really love to see this one painted for some reason! I guess the patina isn't really that great! Sounds really good!

Unfortunately it won't get painted.
Good stuff Dylan , im sure you no already but a breather on one side and a pvc on the other keeps rear mains and other seals happy. Vent that crank case brother.
That charger sounds awesome! Flow master mufflers would make it sound better
I liked that car in the background brother they came out with some new kill switches for you nation or you gas. This is really cool.
I'm glad to see the Charger coming along.
Sounds absolutely sweet dylan 😮
Very nice engine setup!!! Modern tech adapted to a already great engine is a no brainer. Good work! Very nice and clean engine compartment. Look forward to seeing the rest of the build unfold. A clean and well restored original dash, gauge cluster and related will be a very good interior restore. Your fascination with good working windows was great!!! Looking forward to a quality original paint job. Go with time period proper after market 5 spoke Crager rims and some nice era correct large rear tires coupled with smaller front tires. Firestone or Good/Year tires might work. Hope you get a professional paint job done on it. And retore the rear brake lights as well. Then you will have a proper Charger.
Awesome video the car sounds amazing can't wait to see it on the road.
Hey Dylan I like old cars my car is a 1940 plymouth it's cool it has a flathead 6 it runs great I'm working on it
If ole Luke cant get a carburetor right it's probably junk! He's a genius on carbs
Awesome, I enjoy seeing the project progress
Very clean installation, well done sir
This brings back memories of my '69 Dodge Charger R/T. I had to install a fuel tank in it and it wasn't that bad. The only issue I had was getting the new fuel filler inlet grommet in place and then getting the fuel filler pipe to go in the tank. I used a little bit of silicone grease around the grommet and the filler pipe slid right in no problem. I really miss my Charger! Best car I ever owned and I was only the third owner of it. It was Sunrise Yellow with the 727 Torqueflite and 440 with factory A/C.
If uncle Luke cannot fix it, that carby is stuffed!
All this nice work on THIS car do a nice body and paint job. Love to see a video on that.
Really appreciate all the Mopar content, have loved it for years!
Love the sleeper dude t-shirt. I love what you do young man
Optima batteries have my respect after I just had to replace the one my grandpa put in his 35 chevy he finished in 05. They're pricey, but if this one also lasts 18 years, I can't complain, lol.
Very cool! Now paint it like the General Lee.
Great job guys
The Edelbrock AVS 2 is a much improved carburetor that works well with Mopar kickdowns.

Sniper 2... cool.
Man that's seriously McCool 😍 and please please leave the paint like that
This year at power tour you're gonna be the one helping everyone else's rides stay running!
Nice, well deserved upgrades
One cool sounding ride !
What a splendid rehab, but I have two words for you: "paint it."
You are not kidding Dylan that sounds so nice!!!!!!
That thing sounds great. Good job guys.👍🇺🇸
Sounds wicked had a huge smile on my face.
My brother just installed the Sniper EFI on his obs chevy with a blueprint crate 350 and it totally transformed that truck. It was already a heck of a beast of a truck before and now it's a monster. Throttle response is immediate, it runs so clean and smooth and feels like it gained 60-70hp. It's a blast to drive
Love the colour in the engine bay
Like how the holley sniper 2 TBI has an integrated setup with the TDM, distributor and fuel tank pump to make it pretty much plug and play
Love the sleeper dude shirt
glad you got er figured out buddy. just keep doin what you do for the love of doing and sharing with all of us... car sounds great by the way...
You are living my muscle car dreams with this setup, I've wanted one myself since the first time I saw the 1968 Dodge Charger in Dark Blue with Black Top from the "Christine" Movie back in the 80's 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 enjoy it!
Ready for power tour
I love that sound.
General Lee style will suit him very well 😊😊😊😊
You’re taking this car on Power Tour? Need to work out all the bugs for sure. Thank you for sharing! 💯👊👍
cool car glad you got it running so good
6:43 uncle tonys garage just made a video talking about that tipe of hose clapms and hoses that cause a fuel pressure loss at high demand
Great video!
Great car!
Looking good very nice sounding love it 🤩👍👍👍👍👍🤗
Awesome I just woke up bud just in time to catch your video
If your hydramat ever goes bad you can always use a Kotex to replace it.
Gawd this car runs beautifully ❤❤
Love B-Body mopar’s
Nice shirt!
Great job man! I have a 69 Charger too and you definitely gave me some good ideas to do some updates that I plan for it the summer👍👍👍
Lmfao 🤣😆 I'm sorry bro, I have too say this. Everytime you flash the camera at the wind shield for a quick minute and I see F*** ME instead of fix me has my giant child ass laughing 🤣😆 Anyways man love seeing the build like always. You stay safe out there hope to pass by you again in one of your cars.
Love those wheels.
Hey Dylan thank you for the video
The greenie meanie charger!
Very interesting, all of that late '80s technology repurposed to work with modern computers. For me it would definitely be a "Mayberry meets Star Trek" installment... Keep up the great content! Love the Charger, and NO, you are not selling out, you are doing what you need to do to pay the bills...
The rotor goes counter clock wise on some mo-par s
Sounds like a modern engine with that EFI. Thinking about going this route with my 68 Charger. My only worry is, if something goes wrong with the system and your far from home and the car won't start, what then?
Looks like a 440 cu in workbench!
I like the charger a lot thank you Dylan for content
Keeep doing what you do
Hay Dylan
Are we going to see more on the 58 Plymouth fury ?
Anytime there is a Charger episode it gets a like from me 🤠
This car never ran this good. awesome
