    I've looked at the "how to read your plugs sites" but thought I would post these pics here to get some feed back. This fall I switched to a Performer intake with 600 eddy, seems to run good getting better mpg for cruising. Anyway, parked the Dart pulled some plugs, they look a little white so...

    Exhaust manifold gasket blow out

    I finally figured out that my passenger side exhaust manifold gasket was blowing out on bottom. I replaced with a felpro replacement one but looks like it's still leaking. What's a good after market one that will seal if there's some warping going on there. thanks

    Harmonic balancer

    I'll be getting balancer back this week after getting a sleeve put on and wondering how to tighten it up with out engine turning over? I do have air gun, that's how I was able to remove it. Do I need to pull starter or inspection cover for torque converter and shove a 2 X 4 in there? :prayer:

    Timing

    Have 318 about 250hp, trying to get timing right. Running Pertronix 11 with Accel super coil. Where do I want to be 34 -36 total advance at about 3000rpm? Is that to much? I do have the Classic HEI system but haven't had chance to get in yet. That has a lighter advance spring in already. Any...

    Anyone else have this problem with small blocks? Ten years or so I had a 360 rebuilt and had some sort of oil blow by down by the fuel pump or antifreeze from timing cover bolt down there. Had a 318 rebuilt last fall, got a few cruises in before winter, same thing. Looks like it's coming out of...

    Went to install new clutch fan & fan won't clear crank pulley. Car has a 4 belt crank pulley that sticks out to far. Any concerns with installing a 2 belt pulley? I've saw something about 72 & newer having off set holes at crank? My next question would be, does anyone have one? thanks

    Leaky fuel pump

    I've had two different small blocks (360, 318 ) in different cars that both had (and have) this problem. I've tried two fuel pumps and gaskets in my current 318 trying to stop what appears to be oil leaking out from where pump bolts to block. I've looked along front of block for other spots that...

    Magnum instead of 318?

    Dropped off 65 Dart at shop yesterday to get my engine & tranny gone through. Matt calls me today & says he has a 360 magnum block from he believes the 90's that we could go through instead of 79 318 motor that's in car. He liked the thought of roller cam in magnum over old style cam & lifters...

    Leaking frost plugs

    Picked up 65 Dart with 318 that had been parked for about a year. Runs good and is now parked for winter, a couple of frost plugs are leaking a little wondering is there is a additive I can add next spring like bars leak or something stronger that would do the trick. Don't really feel like...

    Miss-matched heads & manifolds?

    Hello there, just picked up a 64 Valiant with a mid 80's 318 in it. I've been trying to track down a exhaust leak from both sides. I thought maybe the exhaust manifold gaskets were leaking or maybe a head gasket. Some quick info for you, the seller said he a had some 360 police heads put on a...
