no oil in coolant or vice versa so if it is a head gasket its between the 2 cylinders...

plugs replaced twice now and yes they are gas wet. Firirng order checked multiple times by myself and my father.... as a second set of eyes usually catches a simple brain fart...... Just seems odd that it happened sitting. The car ran fine.....sat for 6 months....start it up and dead miss. It...

Hey guys this pertains to my 72 Scamp. 84,*** original miles. Internally untouched since new. Car spends most of its time sitting in the garage. Suddenly it has developed a dead miss on cylinders 5 and 7. Plugs are wet and plugs are good. Have swapped in a second set of plugs, wires, cap...

very interested in the whole car .... to not cut up! if the deal falls thru. Please let me know!!

Looking to put a newer 360 stock magnum into my old 77 w200. Im looking for a carb'ed magnum intake and a 1406 edelbrock that is still box stock and runable. Thanks

the 1/2" stuff is kinda huge and expensive where as the 3/8 stuff is only a few bux more than the 5/16. So the 3/8 will be fine on the 318, but would also be big enuff to handle a mild street big block? (the car will be a driver not a racer)

Im replacing the entire fuel system in the 70 dart by necessity..... my question is that I see that I can get a 5/16" or a 3/8" pickup in the tank. I can also order the lines in 5/16" or 3/8". Currently the car will be a mildly warmed 318 with plans of one day running a big block or a 408...

Ok so since I dropped the heads off at the machine shop and the valves were basically welded to the heads from varnished gas... the older guy at the shop said you need to replace the entire fuel system... I figured I would listen SO I dropped the tank and sure enough the inside of it is...

I can do that if nobody wants this. Last chance for a free magnum block... its going to the dump this week....

does anybody want this before I toss it? Useable magnum block....

I have a 318 magnum short block from a 99 truck. The block has 4 broken rods and a toasted crank. The cylinders look good, no visible wear (89,000 miles). One of the broken rods did take a chunk out of the very bottom of one of the cylinder walls about the size of a nickel. Its of no use...

I should be outside putting my lowly 318 back together and just spent 30 mins or more just reading your thread! WoW!!! You do excellent work! That paint is awesome!

Looking for the (small block) 268 comp xe cam and lifters... I would really prefer it to be new.. I am going to purchase from summit, but just figured I would check to see if any fellow FABO members might have bought one they didnt use. Thanks

looking for an eddy performer for my 318. I will be using a 1406 square bore carb that I already have... Let me know what you got...

Good information.... I had overlooked the fuel pump problem!!
