    The beloved 318

    I installed KB107 Hypers in my HO 367, back in 1999. I used to shift that thing at 7200 all the time. Engine now has over 100,000 on it. The trick with hypers is to run extra top gap, and mine are a lil loose in the holes. KB107s are 502 grams for my 360. You think a 273 revs fast? EDIT; {I...

    [WANTED] A230 V8 bellhousing

    and they use different BellHousings. and, the 360 will make mincemeat out of a non-A230 , in short order. Those were very low torque boxes. IIRC the A230 and the A833, shared the same BHs, at least in certain years, having the dual-pattern.

    Alternative tires for P185/80R13 90S

    Here is a formula that will spit out an approximate tire height for you; {(Metric branded width/25.4) X (aspect-ratio X 2)} plus tire diameter. Example 185/80R13 {(185/25.4) X (.80x2)} plus 13= {7.28 X 1.6} + 13= 11.65 + 13= 24.65* see below *Metric sizes are rounded up or down to the nearest...

    actual need for ballast resistor with electronic ignition?

    I have found that my Accell super coil, at WOT, will run on battery voltage just fine, a quarter mile atta time. I haven't tried it for any longer periods of time.

    Torsion bars

    1.03s/1.08s will NOT be too big. With adjustable HD shocks, you will be ready to tackle anything the streets and country-side can offer.

    Dont laugh at me!!! with my rookie tuning :(

    Well then, with this new information, I would have taken a guess that the cam is on it's way out; Except you didn't mention top-end noise..

    As to your shaky engine, my guess is it's carb related

    Dont laugh at me!!! with my rookie tuning :(

    ONE MORE TIME: Where the rotor is pointing to, relative to the #1 cylinder, makes absolutely no difference, at the time that ANY one cylinder is at TDC/compression! What matters is which tower is above the rotor at TDC compression, of the chosen cylinder, and where that associated wire is...

    Quick... which way's better (225/273)

    Yes I know you have a 4speed for it, and I know the little 273 can be fun with a 4-speed. But. if you go the performance route that most guys go, yur probably better off with a higher stall/auto/and big gears. As for me, if I had to run a 273/Mopar4-speed, I would order up a Commando gearset...

    [FOR SALE] 4 Mopar Kelsey Hayes NOS wheels 14 x 5.5

    pardon my ignorance , but what makes those different from regular wheels.

    TKX 5 speed

    Butte MT is at 5538 ft above sealevel. Unless you are planning a BB, or supercharging, that's gunna seriously affect your engine's ability to make low-rpm torque. Which is gunna seriously affect your choice of ways of multiplying whatever torque the engine actually produces, to make it an...

    Quick... which way's better (225/273)

    Well there you go, a 4bbl, a higher stall, gears in or near the 4series, plus slapper-bars are your friends.

    318 appreciation thread

    For the street, which is a two-gear application, if I already had the 318, and if I didn't have something else; I sure wouldn't waste time and money looking for something else. Instead, I would just regear it, and stall it up some. This goes double if it is a high-compression unit. It's hard...

    Quick... which way's better (225/273)

    If you already have the 273, why is this even a question? But if you don't then, for me, the obvious choice is /are; 1) a hi-pressure, alloy-headed 360 with a very modest cam. Get the pressure up to say 190, run an A833od with 3.73s for 75=2540 with 27" tires. or 2) if you want to keep the...

    Can One Use Standard 4.04" 340 TRW Pistons in a 4.00" + .040" 360 Cylinder Block?

    A friend of mine did that about 25 years ago. He had a lathe....Worked out pretty good for him. You know how much room is in an X-head? answer, plenty. the factory 340 pistons weren't up anywhere near high enough to fulfill their potential. You can make a pretty good Quench chamber with those...

    Gear ration affect a/c compressor?

    (6000 x 85") / (1056 x 3.55) =136mph in top gear, at no slip. Then; (136/2.45) x .93slip= 52mph in first gear@6000 (136/1.45) x .93slip= 87 mph in second @ 6000 65 in Second will be ~ 4150. >85 is a 27" tire. Your tires are only 74.4, but I'll wager those 205s are gonna be toasted pretty quick...

    Is my cooling system operating normal?

    Just so you know, I run a Milodon HDHi-flo, 8-vane pump, with the anti-cavitation plate. (and yes with a hi-flo 195stat) and it is underdriven, cuz my engine, with a manual-trans, actually does spend a lotta time at higher rpms. I run the 7-blade high attack angle bent-tips all steel fan on a...

    Yeah, great idea, the governor is right there.

    904 question

    Governor blew apart, it happens. A pressure test will prove it. Easy fix but a time-consuming PITA, the tail has to come off. Or TP valve actuator-lever has fallen down. Pressure test will prove it. as will removing the KD linkage-rod off the lever at the trans, and not finding the...

    Weird distributor spring or normal?

    That long-loop spring works great in my 11.1Scr alloy headed 367. Idles at 12>14* , jumping to 28* off-idle , then begins advancing again at 2800, going to 34*@3400. This allows the engine to run on 87E10 full-time, @207*F, without detonation. To that, >I added 22* of VA (sparkport); to run...

    Next dumb question is ; what's the best/easiest/cheapest way to lighten my 75 dart-Swinger by 15%, so that the 318 will perform like she be 15% bigger. It's a trick question; best /easiest/cheapest, as it applies in this context, should never be found in the same sentence. EDIT 15% is like over...

    They say I hate 318s so .......... install a 1.8 Jetta TDI-turbo and call it done, I hear those can go 500,000 miles. >but failing that, they also say you can bore a 318 out to 4.04; and stroke it to 4inches. Well; They say not all of them I got a 68 and a 69, one of them might work; call me...

    I heard that 2-door Scamps are 108wb cars, like Dusters and demons whereas the 4-drs are regular 111s. IDK if that is true.

    144 Weiand supercharger and engine displacement

    Or you could just run it NA with an A518, and 4.30s. I ran my alloy-headed 367 like that for 4 years with a 223/230/110 cam, at about 190psi, on 87E10, but with a manual trans. Car went 106 easy enough on 245s and 3.55 gears. I went with a GVOD instead of the A518, is all. After that cam...
