318 head porting for the average joe

Yup. Worked on lots of BBDs over the years.
I bought 2 NOS 318 spec BBD carbs this past summer, a guy on the/6.org site posted some for sale there, also told of his then-Ebay listing for them.
One went onto my son's/6, I bought the 2nd one for my /6. List # 6537,a "heavy duty emissions" calibration from something like a 75-ish 318 pickup truck. I have most of 3 used BBDs hanging around the garage, one of which is this same carb number. I remember playing with metering rod hanger adjustment plenty back then.
And Cordoba's? My 1st 2 cars were a 76 then a 75 right behind it. Then a Ràmcharger. I have never owned anything besides a Chrysler product ever. And I have never owned a front wheel drive vehicle in my life either.
That thought was sound of "sealed for life" when I proved to my then boss that my 87 3/4 ton B van (with a 318, surprise, surprise) and 2 barrel, was better on gas than the boss's 91 voyager wrong wheel drive POS with a 3.8 sideways v6.
