    Wits End With A 318

    "Big Green" is back on the road, my friends!!! Our problem was a combination of two vacuum lines crossed, the fuel mixture was off a little bit, and my timing was off by a hair. (But how big of a difference it made!) I had wrong information about the requirements for the timing. I'd set it...

    No compression check yet. Spark looks pretty good, brand new ballast resistor and coil. And no, no left behind rags. : ) I have not put fuel directly in the carb... I should give this a try, if nothing else, even just to rule it out. I guess I'm headed out to the garage for a minute. : ) Again...

    I'm putting a reman'd 318 into a 76 W200. The new engine went in fine, bolted up to the transmission, no problem there. I put a new Edelbrock 4 barrel 600 CFM carb on an Edelbrock 4 barrel manifold. The engine is turning over, but it won't start. I've tried everything there is to try. I've...

    Rust Treatment

    I've got a 63 Dart, and the bottom of my passenger side doors are rusting through. I work at an Auto Parts store and what's available through my store is Mar-Hyde "One Step Converts rust to black primer sealer"... Says it goes on clear and only turns black on rust. Also: Napa/Permatex brand Rust...

    Bench Seats

    My birthday is a couple days away... and so is Christmas, and I'd like to get myself a front bench for my 72 Valiant. I had a perfectly good one out of my 67 (the 67 was hit and totaled by a drunk driver)... but my ex thought he'd get to me and he BURNED the front bench. (It did, in fact, get to...
