Ooh, I have heard good things about the Lunati cams. Does anyone here have a preference between Lunati and Comp? Claudius, don't worry about any perceived "hijacking" of the thread. This forum is for everyone, not just me! Thanks everyone for the thoughts. I think I'll do it, and perhaps a...

I'm going to run this by everyone here, because I am by no means a cam expert; I'm just some dude who loves Mopars and is mechanically inclined. My 318 was replaced about 12 years ago after the last one finally gave up the ghost on me on the highway. When I put the "new" one in (I got a rebuilt...

Hi everyone. My 67 Dart had been having a bad run of luck with the instrument panel, and I was able to solve most of them by doing the following: 1) Replacing the 5 Volt power supply with one made from modern parts. 2) Replacing all of the light bulb plastic holders. 3) Replacing all of the...

Oh Baby! Worked like a champ! Took a couple of cycles, but I got it tuned in. Thanks again for the quick replies; I thought for sure I had messed something up that was going to be expensive to fix. Not only was this free, but it was quick as well.

Excellent, and how quick! Thank you, gentlemen. I'm going out right now, while I still have daylight, to giv ethis a shot. Hopefully I get it straightened out shortly. Again, thanks!

Hey everyone, (1967 Dart, 318, Power steering) I did a little plumbing when replacing my original (cracked) PS pump with a Saginaw off of a '70 small block. There was a problem with the fittings mating up, and I stripped some of them (Grrr!). So, I pulled the plenum off of the steering gear; a...

Hey, I've got a 1967 Dart w/ an aftermarket 318, and a leaking power steering reservoir. I've looked all over, and cannot find a rebuilt power steering pump/reservoir anywhere. I did recently buy a Saginaw pump and reservoir that came off of a 1970 318. The only thing is, the brackets on the...

Thanks, Kieth. I was wondering about the timing marks, and how I'd be able to see them if the hose came out the passenger side... I think I am just going to have my radiator rodded, and replace the water pump with a stock one. The original stuff worked pretty well for 42 years, so I guess...

I have read on this forum that putting in a 1970 or later water pump into your Pre-1970 car is considered an "upgrade." Just wondering what the benefits would be, and if any modification is necessary to do this. Looking at pictures of the two water pumps, it appears that they are pretty...

Thanks for the feedback, guys. I think I will take the radiator to a shop again. I did it about 14 years ago, and recently had to re-solder the upper joint because it was leaking... Chances are if the rad needed soldering, then it probably should be cleaned and de-limed, too. I would like to...

Okay, I've got a '67 Dart with a stock 318 lower end and heads, edelbrock intake, edelbrock 4-barrell, and dual exhaust. Recently my car started running hot, on the highway or in town. Sometimes it runs at perfect temperature (from my stock gauges), but then other times it will heat up to the...

Thanks again everyone! I ended up getting a water neck and thermostat for a 1979 Dodge Aspen, and they bolted right into the other bolt holes in the intake manifold. I would have gone heli-coil, but that bolt hole had already been drilled and tapped out once before, and I was afraid of...

Thanks for the quick response, guys. I think I'll try the heli-coil first, and if that fails I will use the later style thermostat and water neck. Good to know that I have two options!

I flushed the radiator and changed the thermostat because it was time to do so, and upon reinstalling the water neck, I stripped the front bolt inside the intake manifold. I have a 318 topped with an Edelbrock aluminum intake, and this particular bolt hole has been drilled and tapped once...

Where can you get electronic replacement regulators? A regular parts store, through Summit or Jegs, or is there a place to special order them from?
