Excellent episode and what a memory flashback. Finishing high school at the start of the 80’s while owning a 1968 Charger R/T that was my daily driver. I knew I was lucky to own my favorite car but of course I didn’t know then how fortunate I truly was with my car, job, and the knowledge I gained. I worked at a service station with a full mechanic garage where numerous mopar and other muscle cars were frequently worked on. Like all those before and even after me though, life happened and off went the Charger but the mopar DNA remained. Fast forward 30 years and I found an all original 1968 Coronet to mend my decades ago broken mopar heart. It’s currently in my garage anxiously awaiting some serious powertrain upgrades but this time, I absolutely appreciate how fortunate I am.

When you hear it almost kick over, you know you're headed for success! I'm no professional, but I've brought the engines and fueling systems back to life!

I know why the front and rear carbs were disconnected. I had a friend that had a 70 Cuda with a 440 six pak. I asked him how many miles to a gallon. His squirmed a little and stayed, “If I drive 55 (speed limit at the time) and stay out of it on the highway, I might get 5 miles per gallon”. During 1971, gasoline was very cheap. The lowest price I paid was $0.169 per gallon. $1.269 today. A few years later OPEC stuck it to us and the fake gasoline shortage. In June 1974 the price was $0.559. Checked an inflation calculator, $3.429 today equivalent. BTW minimum wage was $2.50 and wages got frozen by the US government. The good old days!

A good Mopar guy (hi there!) will have that sorted out in short order - then the proper restoration can begin!

I own a 70 GTX 440 6 barrel. I have owned it since 1981. You have to have fuel in the outboard carbs. They have idle circuits that need fuel to idle correctly. If not. Then just a big vacuum leak. You can see the lead plugs in the base of the outboards. Take that lead out and carefully add penetration out. Work them out. Then you can fine tune the outboards as well nc as the center carb. Center carb adjust on side of the metering block.
