how this guy didn't blow the bendix drive out is beyond me.  I guess it is a testament to Chrysler starters!

In my old age, I'm not sure what turns my crank more......the sound of a Speed Queen TL going into spin or the mating call of a gear reduction chrysler starter turning over some Detroit iron under the hood.

Stupid jerk kept flooding it by pounding the gas. 3 pumps max and a Mopar will usually start. Screwdriver to jam down the lean burn 70's carb is all you need and away you go.

I agree with you totally on that gas pumping. No wonder he had problems getting those cars started. He kept flooding the carb's on them.

And a good set of wires and clean plugs.  And keep the choke (remember those) adjusted properly.  A problem that was often overlooked was the choke pull off. When cranking, you want the equivalent of 1/8 drill bit space on the choke plate as the motor cranks.  If the choke pull off does not "pull back" the choke plate, you will flood the motor in no time.

 

If you kept a Holley 2245 clean and adjusted, it will run like a champ.  Oh and the manifold crossover passage has to be clean. When above a certain temp, the electric choke assist does not kick in and the choke opens based on manifold temp.

Classic sound

for sure. Some used to complain that before Chrysler had electronic ignition they were hard starting in damp weather.
I don't remember, as my dad was not a Chrysler guy.
His '75 Buick 350 had the strangest starter sound though. Normal cranking sound, with a distinct zzzhhhhoooo upon firing off. Starter over running clutch maybe?

I think vacerator that certain GM starters had to be shimmed.  The drive end housing was made from pot metal and sometimes the machine work was not consistent. Thus you had to shim them to keep the clearance between the drive gear and the flywheel in proper order.

That '68 Plymouth Fury Sport has WI collectors plates on it.  Wish I knew where that beauty was/is located here in WI.
