I Raced My Old Dodge HEMI Around A Frozen Pond! - Vice Grip Garage EP63

I don't know much, but what I do know is how to test a car. I'm so tired of hearing about zero to sixty Zanjeer latitudes and agility tests. You should learn something about a car, get it out here. on the lake and run 20 open laps on tires that are 30 years old and you'll learn everything you need to know and that's exactly what I'm about to do with this Hemi-equipped Dodge. Well guys, I have some critical engineering to do. Before we test drive the old car, you know we're going to start almost burying them with the treatment and I think what we could do this time too is shine some shine on their whore peepers and then we'll run to Berryman. her and then we'll hook our peepers back on and you know, you'll see what happens and then we'll throw a new spark later, then I got a new fuel filter, the other one is leaking and will most likely cause a fire, it could already be on fire and then I got a fuel line because the other fuel line says "hey this isn't a fuel line" and then I spent about 15 minutes looking for a carburetor kit because if you look at the other videos she's not good, you know?

I got frustrated so I bought a complete carburetor and this one says rebuilt 1984, that should be fine. I mean, it's full of rust and a barely old fence, but we'll make it work and last but not least we have an oil bath vent. We're going to smooth out the air and clean it up a little bit and then, you know, we'll put some color on it and then maybe this will be dry by the time we finish the engineering and then we'll put it in and then it'll be time to you know, we're going to go to remove the cobwebs and see what he has.

Nothing, we'll remove all the oil and stuff and clean it up a little. She's pretty well sanded and then we'll hit her with a little bit. primer and I think the first coat of lower gloss black primer over it and as soon as this gets tacky I'll probably turn over another can of spray balm and use the old lower gloss motor because basically I'll take any thing and I never clean anything properly before painting so that works great for me on this air cleaner. You know you want to expertly tape it off because that's your entrance.

You don't want paint junk there, so I did the right thing. and just stick some dirty eggs in there and that will work now if you're curious why there's a bottle cake here in this beautiful, lovely state of Minnesota, you know everything is definitely cold so you have to hit everything. with the bottle torch before ringing the camera fishing in a sick Oh bad, great, just screwed it up, maybe this bending will be less worse, yeah, you don't want to try it on anything else, just plug it right into your project and wait so be it.

It works, I don't know if I'm going to be able to cover it up, that's going to woo, it's okay, I just have to be close enough, it's a little slippery, get out of there, I just have a little flu and I'm standing four inches of water, That's why I've been trying to keep this snow, you know, collected here because it just floods me, speaking of flooding, it takes about 914 gallons of gas, 612 pumps to make this thing work, so I'm going to work on that. tilt accelerator pump trip. on her so I'm going to roll or go out and bring her here or a guy can you know see what's going on?

Man has no light bulbs there, well nothing works anyway, okay, yeah, she's just not happy, I think we could fix it. that Oh, it would be nice maybe after today we'll wash it a little too. I just have stuff everywhere here, okay, I don't remember, you know she's hammy 241 and I'm really excited to get rid of that. air cleaner and I'm tired of looking at it, don't get rid of that card, let's get started, that's it, work on the spark later and I'll start on this side because it's easier to get to it, we'll unplug and take a look at it, then you'll know we're going to throw some Berryman down the chute and see what happens out of curiosity.

I want to disconnect this cable and she, you know, basically exploded on me and disintegrated down there, and normally she doesn't. He would be very worried because you have all this stuff in there and you take the spark plug out and it fires the old cylinder, but Sandy's Hemi is all this spark plug for Bellator, hold it 44, she pops out like this and then everything. I cried and the plug is there. Oh depth, you know, if the guy is being honest with another guy, I'm not sure I want to trade them because they're not gkv power.

I don't know, it sounds like factory racing equipment. and I have some lightweight two dollar models, but I'll give it some thought, but anyway, here's what this spark plug looks like. Go ahead and look at it, it's not that bad, but this is before there's any oil in there, luckily, we'll run a little bit. Berryman and just watch what she does to him. I don't know, turn it on and let it warm up. You know we're going to take it up to our necks. Here, my rent check. This knowledge is temperature. Bach 14, that's the best time. come in here and start pulling the plugs come on come on you know what's hot well this is interesting she's completely black and City now I thought maybe for a moment she would come out clean or bright white but this makes more sense because look.

What you're supposed to do is clean the valves and the combustion chamber and everything else, but of course this is burning it and shooting it out the exhaust. I mean, it's time to get serious around here. I even took off my sweater to go into town. I'm going to cut this carbonyl fin on the other one and I don't know what's going on, get off of here oh, I really like how loose it was. 42% of our problem has a vacuum leak. Well the old carburetor is out and then I bought the older carburetor. here and he's removing a brass fitting because the threads got ruined and you know who went ahead, dropped the old needle in there so I have to rip it apart and the good news is the accelerator pump on this one is basically just dust. doesn't exist, so that's a little better.

I took parts of two and put them together, but we may even be worse off here, but we're too far away now and it made too much sense to check that before we start, so I'm going to Frankenstein the carb back on and see what happens. I guess it was a good time to post your guesses. You already know how it will run on ice and snow. I think it will run like the Hudson Hornet and I don't. Just kidding, we're going to lay down some trails, just wait, you know, a guy might drink beer with the last owner, it says here, not for fuel, but you know, I guess it doesn't say for how long or anything like that.

These cheap glass fuel filters have caused more classic car fires than even ex-wives. You want to get rid of them, the Frankenstein, maybe more beam carburetors and sniff me a new filter and some line and then turn on the electronic digital pump for a while and let it fill. I don't see any huge leeks, so I guess this is the part where we're just going to twist it and see if it lights up and then tune it, you know, just the tip. We're not going to do much, we have to get on the ice, we're almost ready.

I think the guy's just going to get us all worked up a little bit, you know, and I'll go in and tune up the idle mix screws, that's what. uh, this is something here, I mean, it's not this tool, it's going to be good, it's about a tan, so there should be a fire soon or something. I don't know, she's working very well, good and softens three. Oh God, let's be racist, uh, well, this. It's not perfect by any means, but it sure looks better anyway, nothing like that. I don't understand, continue, there is the optimal point, an optimal point is that there she is, there is the optimal point, a little oil. from the 50's oh man yeah oh yeah that's bad it was that I didn't lock and charge about 30 laps so I wouldn't get hot I still have a little pressure man this car runs good it's crazy well I le I'd be lying to this guy if I didn't say it was a lot of fun for a guy. 20 laps became ninety-three and a half soles.

Even going down, it never got hot. That's what I was worried about, but then you lose oil pressure. I mean, I think it's even lower. Better now we just had to teach him to run, you know, remove all the cobwebs from the urn. I just don't remember if I have taillights or not, so I might as well go to school. Since I have a little light left, wait, wait, happier, subscribed. the other half I don't know why it doesn't hurt just like the bottom, it's as easy as that, if you want a calculator or a back cloth, visit the website, we have some stickers, koozies and other things, and for Please consider the channel. memberships if you want exclusive behind the scenes stuff, it's a lot of fun, there's some stuff in there that you know anyway, thanks for watching next time.
