Horrible Vibration FIXED! New Clutch, Flywheel, A Weight Check And More For My 1971 Dodge Demon 

Can't wait to see how slaghammer and the demon run together

Damn that car sounds so good

The crazy world of Arther Brown. I’m old as dirt and remember when “fire “came out. Love the channel.

Time for a pre-race checklist... 1. Distributor cap screwed on... 2. everything else! What a relief to fix the vibration, and looked like a good thing you checked the clutch before you just sent it!

Arthur Brown tidbits - during an early appearance at the Windsor Festival in 1967, he wore a colander on his head soaked in methanol. The fuel poured over his head by accident caught fire; a bystander doused the flames by pouring beer on Brown's head, preventing any serious injury. On occasion he also stripped naked while performing, most notably at the Palermo Pop 70 Festival in Sicily, Italy, July 1970, where he was arrested and deported.

I wear one of those quilted welding hats when working under the car while on the hoist. It softens the blow. I also frequently hit my head in a similar fashion. 👍🇺🇸

The Tenacious D made me cackle and snort 🤣

Oh the joys of clutch changes. Never done one on a hoist though. The demons a ripper,sounds mint!

I think its really cool the respect you show by continuing to call it "Dales Daemon"!

That's the way to look at it. It is what it is. Just enjoy the race Jaime. Its looking and sounding good. 👍

I bought a set of Magnum 500's for my 1974 Dart and within a year they were rusting. This is the world we live in.

Bluetooth ignition! I love it! I would like to be an investor on that! 😆

Looking forward to the drag race great video

Nice! Can't wait to see the race!

Please make sure you wash your hands after working on the Ford and before you touch any Dodge parts

I like a mopar that sits high, more suspension travel = a better ride.

What do you mean Chill, If you took out the grille lose the bumper put in a lithium battery lose the over flow, windshield washer tank and wiper motor you could trim it up by 17.8763748 repeating pounds and totally kick Uncle Tony's boney behind. On the other hand it does my soul good to see you putting Newish good parts on this car and slowly fixing some of the little things that make a car not fun to drive.

I will be doing that same job tomorrow and next Friday I have to do it on my other car only difference is myself and the concrete. My back hurts and I haven't even started.Great video and good tips on U-joint install.

Nice reference with Arthur Brown! What a wierd dude who is still alive!

I love changing clutches in my Mopars so much....that I just paid some other hack, errr I mean "mechanic" to do it in my GTX this time. Of course, that meant it wasn't done to my satisfaction, but at least I didn't have to worry the wife with tales of 18-splines resting on my chest under a car (no lift here, boss). I'm getting too old for that shiyat.... Yes, I loved the Centerforce I had a few years back, except for the "floppy" clutch pedal that results from removing the over-center spring. Never could resolve that part, so back out it came. Good times though, watching *you* wrestle the whole mess this time Jamie, so thanks. 🙂 - Ed on the Ridge

Man she sounds good!!!!

The U-joint reminds me of a time long ago in a far away land when I put in a new U-joint in my 69 Fury and forgot to install the clips (don't ask why I forgot, let's just say my brain wasn't fully functional). I drove about 3 miles and the driveshaft decided it wanted to fly away. I can honestly say I have never forgotten clips since then.

Cool video 👌

Oh man did i laugh when you just pointed out the distributor cap before you actually knocked it off the distributor itself! How in the hell did it run like that we'll never know but somehow i knew what was coming! Unreal!!

Thanks for sending me down the Arthur Brown rabbit hole...you should see my interpretive dance I created based on the song "Fire"...it is a real crowd pleaser !

Sounds great, even with a loose MSD distributor cap😯. I don't think it would run well with a loose stock ignition distributor cap.

The greatest and best song in the world…..tribute!!!!

That’s cleaner than my shop If I can’t see it it doesn’t exist. Don’t put the tools away till you’re finished with the job…. (Edit) your optimism is impressive

Okay, now I know for sure you have been at this for a long time. You are the first guy I have seen with the EXACT same U-joint swap technique as me! (Taught by my Dad at age 12, I'm 53 now) And you are the first guy I have seen even mention the "tension relief smack" on a stiff newly installed joint. And I have taken in an embarrasing amount of drivetrain related youtube. Pay attention whippersnappers, the "relief smack" is very important if you want your joint to take grease, and live. Good stuff!

I love a hoist, never had one in my youth, but use one at work. They say, the top of your head is the hardest part of your body, good thing.

Super sweet deeeemon j

Keep up the good work buddy

Jesus Chrysler ‼️ What an incredible last minute Thrash session 🔩⚙ Glad you caught , all those things in time I've had my cranium , meet a few frame cradles too 💀 WOW !!!! It ran that good Without the distributor cap on ??!! Anyone who has the audacity to critique your shop Isn't a productive , or a busy mechanic . FACTS !!

Anytime someone gets out the hellfire wrench, I love it!

Love the Tenacious D Tribute 🤘🏻

Violins have strings…….fiddles got strangs!

I've run driveshaft safety loops on all of my street racers. I remember watching driveshafts being thrown when I was growing up. With hydraulic lifters, motor oils heavier than 10W30 will reduce the RPM when lifter pump up occurs. I do remember the high bleed lifters, like Rhoads lifters, used to recommend using 20W50 oil though. I've switched to a smaller battery to save front end weight before. Accel used to make special super small batteries, but the cheaper way was when AC Declo came out with side terminal batteries, they were lighter than top post batteries of the same capacity. Back in the 1970's there might have been 20 pounds or more difference. These days, side terminal batteries are about 10 pounds (9-11lbs) lighter than comparable top post batteries. That's still a weight savings and a weight savings off of the front. There are small AGM batteries these days that the speed shops sell. I have taken front bumpers to a fabrication shop to put a series of large, perfectly round holes through the front of them. Fiberglass bumpers would have worked, but back then, there weren't the fake, shiny chrome coatings you could put on fiberglass, that are available today. The best we had was metallic silver paint and the fiberglass bumpers never looked straight. Some guys would just leave the front bumper off, but I wanted something there.

That thing sounds GREAT!!!! I love It!!!

Cleaning can wait!

Thx J !

As always your videos are always worth watching!

Good vid DDG 👍

Great video Jamie 👍

Good stuff....and good luck....thanks..🔧🔧🐐👍

You da man Jamie 💪

Lol funny it ran so well with the cap Ike that

I thought step one was make sure there's enough beer in the fridge to finish the project lol have a good one

Jamie brother you made that universal joint replacement look bloody easy one job I hate doing

I love how you are down talking your car to lull Tony into a false sense of security.

‘63 and ‘64 Darts look good without a front bumper. Just an observation. Carry on.

Never had to break in clutch on the Toyota truck. But I DID find the value in OEM disk, vs aftermarket garbage.

Latent derogatory Ford comments aside, love your channel.

Looked cooler with the tow bar tabs....😊

You can now add loose distributor cap to the list of classic blunders

At least you have a shop.

I keep hearing different things about AMD bumpers, mainly about they're thinner and lighter than factory or that they're thinner but same weight as factory, or it varies car to car or when you bought it, but maybe you already cut some weight off the front with an aftermarket bumper... I'm glad its never getting the hole saw treatment like Uncle Tony's car!

Fun watching you work as always. My dream A body! (The Taillights) Dump the brimmed cap. It blinds your vertical peripheral vision. Ouch,*$#

It's a good idea to check the runout of the clutch disk. Just install on the transmission input shaft with transmission in neutral and give it a spin. Not being picky but when you push the clutch pedal down, you are engageing the clutch.

Ironically I was eating cheesecake while watching this video. LOL

Ah, you're keeping "my" demon in good shape...

Hi use the air gap method for setting the clutch.Great video thanks.PS please get a NHRA approved bell housing

Jaimie: First, remove hat so you can see above your head. Second, buy a camera stand that works. Hands free!! I'm here for you......

Tenacious DDG!

Tick might be a loose header bolt since it stopped ticking after it heated up. When it heats up the metal expands and the tick stops

When I went from my old 3 finger clutch to a Centreforce diaphragm clutch it was amazing. Way smoother shifting, better balance and quieter. Getting the correct amount of free play is very important in order to ensure proper clutch engagement. Before changing out the clutch I was worried my left leg was going to look like it was on steroids. 😁

I used to live in Raymond about 50 years ago. I used to misspend lots of time in Aberdeen. It sure hasn't changed much.

You can't take off the old tires without a massive burnout😮

Maybe a blow-proof bellhousing would be a good idea?

👍👍

Nice to see the Demon getting its final wickedness. Seems liked your audience is fully and truly possessed. Anyway it seem that you're about to embark on a great adventure. Godspeed? No wait Demonspeed...lol.

did not expect the random bit of the lad not only play a guitar and sing but do it well. Cascadian garage band featuring DDG when? You could use a-body front torsion bars as bass strings for a bit of heft to it.

Another great job. Back in the 70s I used a leather belt and a tire iron to hang the transmission in my 74 challenger. I changed clutches alot. I always did that crap on my back. Hey do you guys have a tenative date for the race yet?

Yeee Yeee!

A violin has strings, A fiddle has Strangs ,or so I've been told.

I just pulled my a833 on my 70 duster 340 to rebuild, and when I pulled the bellhousing I found there was no pilot bushing in the crank. I guess because whoever put the engine in the car used a engine out of an auto car and the crank was drilled smaller, they just decided to leave it out but thankfully I found they make a a smaller pilot bushing that allows you to mate an a833 to an auto engine. I was just really confused that worked like that for so long. Hahaha the fun of fixing other peoples hack jobs

HI Jamie

Hey Jamie, if you were invited to an episode of Jay Lenos garage, what car would you take, and why?

Nascar pit u-joint change😁

Tired jamie my favorite jamie

I had one of those Dual Friction clutches in my '72 Challenger, the Dual Friction material un-bonded from the disc. I wasn't happy. be careful with that centerforce crap

Just when I kind of get over wanting a demon or duster you post a demon video and Kickstart the want all over....

I heard a navy seal tell an Arthur brown story involving an enemy bunker, and a heuy gunship equipped with mini guns, rockets and a loud speaker.

Appreciate The Crazy World of Arthur Brown reference. I’ve got it on vinyl. It might have “crazy” in the title, but the album doesn’t sound remotely crazy……. Not by today’s standards.

Of course I know about Arthur Brown. Do you know about the band Redeye? (1970)

AWESOME vid dude.....done the cap thing myself too.... [;-o{--< lol....MOPAR 4 EVER.

Thank you Jake for letting us know what is going on with Ukraine and thank you again for helping the Ukrainian military get the trucks and other things that they have to have. Slava Ukraini

That ought to be an interesting race... and how in hell did any spark get to those plug wires, and how was it close enough to being in time? Also, about 250lbs lighter than my '71 Coronet... less than I would have thought.

Points ignition would be lighter ;)

U Joints and flywheel problems,. Having those combos together must have really been rattling your dentures 😅.

You said joints !

The demon should comfortably make 425hp. Souped up the 340 could do that so the 360 should be even a little better.

I'm so old I had to google the Arthur brown reference...

Sorry I’m late, I was driving a bus

Do you guys have a drag strip picked out in Tennessee?

Gotta of Tenacious D

Never realized how many hours and miles it takes to go a quarter mile.

I'm curious how you'd compare the 340 to the 360 you put in. I just finished up a Magnum swap into my 67 Dart with reasonable cam, air gap, EQ ported heads etc and haven't driven it yet as I'm swapping in an 8 3/4 so that I don't grenade the 7 1/4.

ATF would be way too thin for an 833. You'll cook it, especially if you're going to be hard on it. If you want thinner for quicker shifts, and only quick blasts down the quarter mile.... I'd suggest motor oil, 10-40 would be ideal.... might-could run 10-30 but give it time to cool off. ATF would be big No-No in an 833. "Don't become a mechanic". Amen, buddy. Most thankless job I ever had. College educated; built show-winner cars; restored cars for fun and helped out so many people I'm getting into heaven without a doubt. Still got treated like garbage. Customer was ALWAYS 1000x smarter than me. Nuts to that. Now I just work on my stuff, and my friends' stuff. Not as much money; but much less stress and they are thankful when I fix things for next to nothing.

If you just installed a valley pan intake gasket & had to pull the intake back off, would you reuse the pan gasket? Asking for a friend-

I didn't get the "yikes" on the filter closeup. ??
