I think the motor is shot !!
I had a 73 Monaco with a 360 and it went pretty good low 15 second 1/4 mile..It wasn’t slow…not fast but quick enough..mine did 15.2 in the 1/4..(I saved my old times from all my vehicles I raced and put them on file with backup lol)
73 Monaco 2door hardtop 360 4bbl ,3.23 gears and duel exhaust..The car looked good,people loved it..It was a gold car with black interior,I had the buckets and buddy seat,I repainted the car black,trunk,door jambs,under the hood ect..Had rallye wheels from the factory,I added duel exhaust and dynomax muffers ! Drove it for 1 year or so,and got good money for it in the mid 1990’s..I am a 440 guy so I bought a 68 Chrysler 300 440 TNT and those are as good as any b -body for performance..i also own a 68 Charger RT 440 and more…and just bought a RT Scat Pack Challenger.
He has a dead 360 or a 318 with a smog carb…those cars were not dogs..must be running the smog carbs..
Most of those cars from the 60’s 70’s engines are shot because when you say a 360 doesn’t move and is slow…then your car is shot…
mine flew really quick with the 400 ci engine in it.first year of the 400.beat comaros easily and others.
I have a 1969 Newport Custom That is a resto-mod. Police suspension gear-vendors unit,383 0.30 engine, tranny rear-end, 2-1/2inch stainless steel Dynomax exhaust, floor-shifter, buckets the works. People anywhere, anytime stop me and ask questions and everybody`s uncle,mother ,father sister,brother had one.These big American cars ride, drive and have a cool factor that no other cars have. Imagination and a well thought out theme these car always draw attention.The black and white combo work with the wheel and tire setup.Every year I go to Carlisle Mopar from Long Island N.Y. and on open the road it cruises at 90 Mph. I have had it up to 130 Mph.And on top of everything else it is my daily driver.
