Tony Angelo's Best bud Mike Edwards bought this 1987 Ramcharger on a whim after seeing it for sale online with the golden phrase "MUST SELL TODAY". Bought and paid for before he saw it, and driven by stubbornness and a will to prove Tony wrong, Mikey turned this old crusty dog into a very solid weekend adventurer! Watch the Stay Tuned crew get this old 360 running strong with some needed upgrades after sitting for decades!

As the owner of an ‘85 Ramcharger on 35’s, I can say, without question, the most annoying thing is hearing “hey man, that’s a sweet Bronco!”

I had a 84, two 85s and a 86 before my current 79. One was a rust bucket but it was turned into a rock crawler and carved up anyway. My 79 was 2200 in 2007. It’s now a 360 magnum/nv4500/Dana300/4.56s on 35s. I’ve been all over in it, from LaPaz to Moab. Now in SC, I’m finally rewiring it.

@tylergarrett1796 7 месяцев назад

Hey guys, hot ramcharger tip! They have huge fuel tanks but somehow they only hold 22 gallons! I had one and a friend of mine as well. (25 years ago) we discovered that the fuel pick up must get bent upwards during installation of plastic tank assembly and it curls up from the bottom of the tank. Turns out it’s about a 32 + gallon tank! never would’ve known, it has a huge skid plate over the tank. And they were untouched on both vehicles. Check it out!!

I had a friend look at my 72 Monte Carlo when it was across the country. (Found on a "fan of" page) He is not a "car guy" but I told him what to look for. Long story short, It had a few more issues than described but overall pleased with my purchase.

This ram charger just hits my soul, I was raised around 70s and 80s dodge trucks.

@Riesenfass 7 месяцев назад

I love this. My late dad had an early 80s w150 growing up - single cab, short bed that was awesome. I loved that truck, even as a kid. He did an engine swap in our driveway by himself over a weekend once (this was his daily and only vehicle) and managed to get it running before he had to be at work on Monday. Miss him tons and would love to have that truck back, and this video just reminds me of him. Thanks for everything you do Tony and team!

@lowest.tier.garage 7 месяцев назад

My first car was an '87 Ramcharger. It was only 2wd, but I dug that because I envisioned myself building it into a unique muscle truck. I absolutely loved that thing and spent hours driving it and practicing for my road test which I took in that truck. It was incredibly reliable and never let me down and it was devastating when another driver blew a stop sign and totaled my truck...I have never gotten over that. Thanks, Tony, for bringing me nostalgia and making killer content!

@tjgreen4417 7 месяцев назад

Hey Tony you prolly know this, but figured I'd mention it just in case. On your tire machine, if the roller is broke like that. Just adjust the swing arm bump stop, set it so you have small gap not touching the rim. If you do already know that, my bad just wanted to mention just in case. I worked in a tire shop for like 7 yrs, so tire machine became my best friend,😂. Anyhow, love the channel brother!!!

@ryurc3033 7 месяцев назад

I do love this generation of the trucks and the ramchargers. I had a 78 longbed adventurer with a mild 360, cam, Edelbrock intake and carb, and headers. it was too much for the rusty old truck. Had to swap from the full time 4x4 transfer case with a differential for a normal dual range case, because it would break loose a front tire when i would take off and pull left and right like crazy. The best dodge truck dana 44 is before 78(bigger u joints ), but definitely keep an eye on the tiny front ujoints in that 80s version.

What you have there is a 750 street avenger. It came with a bunch of different springs as well when new for the vacuum secondary’s so you could bring them in later or quicker what ever fit your build as well as the rear metering block for better on the fly tuning. Nice piece for the price!

@4:52, I remember being able to sit on the grill an work on it just like this with PLENTY of room to work! My measly 225 was easy of course, but never knew you could crawl into the bay with the 8-buckets as well! Awesome! Today you couldn't get a tongue depressor an inch into the top of the engine in today's cars.

@bbivens8263 3 дня назад

My 86 Ramcharger came with a 360 and a Quadrajet. Why in the world anybody wants a freaking Holley is beyond me. I find Q-jet`s very easy to tune, lots of parts out there. Most people don`t understand the Secondary air door setting and just complain about the infamous Q-jet bog, which is nothing more than a misadjusted air door. I replaced the 360 with a 440 and rebuilt the Thermoquad that came on it, it is sweet and dialed in perfect on the A/F ratios. Instant throttle response, great mileage, no leaks.

@wackowacko8931 7 месяцев назад

The 360 likes more initial timing, around 36 total (depending on how efficient the later heads are), and really likes to have a recurved set of mechanical advance springs in the distributor. If you have a distributor that originally uses a ported vacuum source, switch or modify to one that uses manifold vacuum, because a ported vacuum distributor is difficult to get running correctly. Running that much timing may require using a higher octane gasoline.
