    Looking to replace my 273 with a 318, which one?

    for the 360 swap you will need 360 tq converter and harmonic balancer and drivers side motor mount bracket. Everything else will interchange.

    exhaust questions

    I did a little research on this and with 3 inch pipes to the mufflers and (get this) 2 1/4!! tail pipes there was no loss of power. This was on a 455 pontiac this was confirmed by comparing 1/4 miles times and trap speed. Mufflers and crossovers had about a 2 mph difference between best and...

    carb choice and slick size

    Not familiar with 1/8 mile times, I would think that combo should get you in the 12's 1/4 mile. My nephew had a similar combo in a challenger and he ran 12.5's. (he now runs 10's after extensive engine mods.)

    Bogged down While In Gear And Sputtered During Acceleration

    you should be able to use your original cable and kd linkage with an adapter from holley. I have one that I am not using that you can have if you want to pay shipping. Shouldn't be more than a buck or two. Pm me if you want it.

    pipe popping

    I had the same issue on a 73 charger that i owned years ago...it turned out to be header gasket leak. Try a pair of Remflex gaskets, they are reusable and won't stick or burn out.

    zero deck pistons?

    A dial indicator is the best way to both measure your deck and to find true tdc. you cannot go off the balancer timing marks. Just 2 degrees can throw off you deck height measurement. If you don't have a dial indicator use a straight edge and feeler guage at the highest point of your piston. To...

    My First Resto-Mod (Guidance Appreciated)

    This is all good advise. One thing I would do though is use polyester primer....very easy to work with and will hide minor flaws in sheet metal. jmho

    after market steering wheels

    BTW. this mod does not require a steering puller or any special tools... 3 bolts from your wheel, mount adapter, plug in horn wire, five bolt through new wheel, hook up horn wire to wheel, snap in horn button and your done.

    after market steering wheels

    Just curious how many of you have tried to fit after market steering wheels on your mopars. I built an adapter today that allowed me to mount a Grant signature wheel in place of my stock wheel. It sets the wheel back 1/2 inch. The stock turn signal canceling and horn functions are still intact...

    318 Retards Under Load?

    Sounds like your float may need adjusting. Or needle not opening all the way.

    Damn...can I just BUY a better transmission for the money than having mine built?

    The thing that I would like to see in the trans from summit is a hardened sprag. I would call their tech line and ask if it has one. If so go for it. If not go local.

    secondaries wont open

    See what color diaphragm spring you have. If it is plain or colored black try switching to the yellow spring.

    Drivers door wont open inside or out!

    When you said you had someone operate the linkage did you mean the rod that runs from the latch? If so...the plastic retainers that hold the linkage to the latch mechanism could be worn or gone. Reach in and get a hold on the release lever right at the latch.
