    Did you have to add any sort of vacuum restrictor, or is it just connected directly?

  • @mtheis85
    @mtheis854 жыл бұрын

    It's directly connected. I had to closely monitor the oil level in the manometer, though. If there was a large enough imbalance on either carb, it would've sucked the oil into the intake.

    This was back in the day when buses were buses. As you can tell at 1:18 the start up in 1st that school buses almost sounded like streetcars starting up. I did like the engine sound it made if you did use that gear though.

    I know this is an older video, and I've watched it before. But, I keep coming back from time to time. You see my dad used to drive a Dodge truck here in Australia, same engine (actually 318) and same gearbox ( perhaps the ratios may have been different) but same shift pattern (with 2 speed diff). Truck was a Dodge AT4 660. From memory 20-21 foot tray out back. I used to ride in the truck with Dad as a youngster. And linstening to the sound inside that bus is exactly the sound I remember inside the truck. I'm talking approx 33 years ago. I remember dad only using 1st if loaded otherwise always started off in 2nd. Thanks for putting this video up, hope the bus is still good. I'd love to be able to restore a dodge in memory of Dad one day.

    @mtheis85: I checked RockAuto a few days ago (since they sell parts for some of the older GMC/Chevy medium duties now), and it turns out the NP542 (one up from the 541) was an optional transmission on a lot of them. So it may well have been that one I remember hearing!

    The shift pattern is 124R -35-- which after 4 years since I first saw this was kind of interesting after all-low low 1 AND reverse get a position on far opposite sides with no gear below.

    I worked for a bus company and they had Dodge mini buses on van chassis. One had a 360 4 barrel with a Thermoquad and it quit running. You could remove the air cleaner lid and it would run. As soon as you put the lid back on it would quit, even without the filter. They gave it to me to fix because I am a Mopar guy. The problem ended up being a clogged EGR passage in the intake manifold. It was so bad I had to cut the belly pan rivets and chissel out the carbon.

    The 361 sounds great. It's a shame that Dodge didn't get deeper into the bus market. You just didn't see many Dodge School buses. Dodge got out of the medium duty chassis and truck market in 1974. But they made RV chassis for Winnie Bago up to 1978 and then Dodge made the dumb decision to drop the 440 and 400.

Get a woman to start it, drive it, crank it in videos you will have thousands of views to become a partner. Google, You tube will pay you up to 2,000 dollars a month. You will have super duper videos.
