1966 Dodge Coronet 500 parked for 29 years revival

My buddy got this 66 Coronet 500 from his uncle last year. It's a 383 automatic, 3:23 sure-grip, center console, bucket seat car. His uncle got it 1994 from the original family that bought it new. They parked it in 1990 according to the notebook in it that tracked the entire life of the car. I convinced him to let me try to get her running again before he took it his place to start a restoration. A new distributor, plugs, wires and fluids and here we are. I also had to put on an oil pump, as the original's relief valve was stuck closed and it blew all the oil past the filter gasket. To accomplish the burnout, it needed a master cylinder and new front brakes. We didn't bother with rear brakes. Who needs them?
Now it runs and he took it to his place to hopefully start a restoration.

I promise, the videos will get better-and longer!
