i have a 1969 plymouth Belvedere with an LA 318. The drivers side motor mount is broken. I'm all over the internet trying to find the bracket piece that bolts to the block with three bolts. i am finding the bottom piece (one large bolt connets it to the frame) Anchor Industries 2250 Anchor...

My temp gauge isn't hooked up. There's 6 gallons of fuel in the tank (18 gallon tank) i bought this sender from JEGS JEGS 78896: Fuel Tank Sending Unit for 1968-1970 Dodge Charger, Coronet, R/T, Super Bee & Plymouth Belvedere, GTX, Roadrunner, Satellite - JEGS and it's a 69 Roadrunner

i finally got around to replacing my sending unit today. once it was installed i turned the key on and was thrilled to see the needle move up to quarter of a tank.......then it slowly went back down to where it always was (below empty). every time i turn the key on the needle comes back up, but...

are you guys using the lock ring wrench or are you just hitting the tabs with a screwdriver and hammer? i dont have the wrench and i cant seem to get the snap ring on fully to the stoppers. it's about an 16th away from the stopper. as soon as i put gas in it's leaking. i did use the original...

Followup just for you guys.....thanks again everyone!

UPDATE: Great news!!! Finally had time today to get tuning on my 318 since that vacuum leak was found. the timing and settings were so out of wack that i had a heck of a time even getting the car to start and stay running so i could get started. after a bunch of tweaking on the timing, and...

beautiful!!! i am considering upgrading to electronic ignition

keep in mind now that i found the vacuum leak, nothing is in tune anymore and i wont have time until the weekend, but i just hooked up the vacuum gauge quickly. at idle it's reading 16, then when i put it in drive it drops to 11....definately needs some tuning and timing BUT the good news is the...

do you recommend i take the vacuum reading from the ported side (spout up near the top on the passengers side) or the manifold side (bottom of the carb on the passengers side near the spacer)? last time i took the reading from the manifold side

totally bonehead move on my part. now i have to ask this......can i just plug the hole on the back of the carb since i dont have power brakes, and just use a standard breather.......or do i need to order the PVC valve and connect it to the carb?

it had a 6.5 power valve on it. i watched a few youtube videos and one said to take the vacuum reading you get when you have the car in drive and divide it in half and if its an even number drop down .5 so for me my reading was 10, so i installed a 4.5. but now i need to start all over since we...

FOR THE WIN!!!! I just got home, practically ran my wife over to head out to the garage and try this out. i pulled off the breather with the hose attached, crewed on a basic oil cap for now and plugged the hole on the back of the carb. fired it up, dropped it into gear without even letting it...

Holy smokes you may have figured it out!!! I’m not home right now to check but I can say that there is no pvc valve….just the breather. I’m an idiot! I’ll test it when I get home thank you

manual brakes. i hope i dont sound like a moron but im learning....im far from a motor guy. one thing i was thinking but not sure if its an issue. there's a large port coming out the back of the carb, i have a rubber hose going from that port to the breather on the driver's side valve cover. i...

im actually going to purchase a tach hopefully this weekend. in park it's idling a little higher than i like to hear.....if i had to guess the idle in park is around 1000-1200, when i drop it into drive the RPM's go way down for a moment and then evens out where i would say about 800. my...

ok i just went outside and hooked up the timing light. it's past the 10 on the "below" side, so im guessing roughly 12. is this bad? it idles smooth and i can stab the gas in park with no hesitation........just when i drop it into gear

1. its an original 318, probably tired and down on compression but i dont know how to check that. it doesnt burn oil though and doesnt run hot. 2. i have a timing light but havent tried it yet. i pretty much set the timing by ear and watching for the sweet spot at idle. 3. i adjusted the...

long story short......my parents had a blue 69 Roadrunner when i was a kid (daily driver). i loved that car. in 1985 Hurricane Gloria swept through Massachusetts and split a pine tree in our yard and crushed the car. all growing up i saw that car in the backyard with a tree on top of it. while i...

Hello, I just joined this forum because i'm at my wits end and i'm hoping you guys can help me. I have a 1969 318 LA engine with a 904 automatic transmission. i just put new points in the ignition, brand new plugs and wires and brand new coil. it has a Holley 650cfm 4bbl carb. I have a 4.5 power...
