thanks for all the inputs, I am still trying stuff, as I have not found the problem yet.

I believe it is single or double ot. Either way, this is the same setup that I was running for over 4 years, and I tried moving it back up front when it started. But thanks for the ideas.. keep em coming.

Ok, I will try to make this as easy for you guys as possible: I have a 1970 Dart with a 318. Last year, I went to start it up in late summer, and of course, I had to jump it. Now, comes the fun. It started up fine, let it charge for a few minutes, and then disconnected one side of the jumper...

I just found out from the secretary of state that if I get the antique plates I will not be required to pass emissions testing, however I still want to find out what is causing this. I am going to tear down the carb this weekend and find out what jets are in it becuase the car came from Colorado...

yeh, its pretty damn stupid if you ask me.. When I failed the lady said "obviously one of your emissions control devices are not not working"... I responded with "well obviously it is 36 years old and does'nt have any emissions control devices". So she said "the carburator is an emissions...

Forgot to mention it in the last post.. I am running 92 octane fuel.. Do you think the single plane intake would have any adverse effect. I do have an edelbrock dual plane that I could swap, but that is a huge pain in the rear.

I purchased the car with alot of work already done to it, but here is everything I know for sure.... Holley Carb (have not been able to ID, but I believe it is a 600CFM, not sure about jets) Cam is unknown, it is not stock and is noticable at idle. Heads are 302 swirlport and have had a...

I have been thinking about changing over to the mopar orange box becuase the current box I think is having problems. When I check the timing, it bounces back and forth about 5-10 degrees around 0.. I have already changed the distributor and the plugs look perfect. The big thing is that I have...

illinois does not do a visual inspection, just an idle test. I have breathers on both valve covers. I would expect the PCV to raise the emissions if connected, do you think it would actually lower them?

the car does have very noticable cam in it (not sure on the specs as it was in there when I bought the car). The reading were as follows: HC My Reading 2575 (standard 900) PPM CO My Reading 5.9 (Standard 9.0) % CO2 My Reading 6.6 % Now, I do not have the PCV connected (its not on at...

I recently changed the oil pan gasket so all of the old oil was drained out over night and new oild was put in about 1 week ago. How can I tell if it is too rich or lean. I have it set right now were I am idleing at about 700 in park and about 650 in gear and I have a steady 14psi pressure. I...

Ok, so on Tuesday I took my dart in for Illinois Emissions and well it failed in the HC (hydrocarbon were 2700ppm, only 900ppm allowed). I do not think it could be running that rich but anything is possible. I tuned it up right before going to the emissions place. I am pulling about 14-15psi...

well, the engine I am not 100% about internals, because it was done before I got it, but this is what I do know... 318 .020 over 302 heads ported and polished Mild Cam Offenhauser single plane intake Holley carb (havent been able to ID it yet) Heddman Headers Jegs X-Pipe Flowmaster 40...

Ok, well I have to admit that I got that itch tonight on my way home from work. I was heading home real late (about 12:45am) in my dart. And when leaving a stop light (this is on a 6 lane road with no traffic in sight) this silver Subaru WRX STI gets beside me and jumps on it. Well, I have not...

Joliet? were (which state?)

OK, well after many sleepless nights and countless hours, we finally got her all back together. The exhuast sounds mean as hell (I will get you some audio clips). The new headers went in great no real problems at all and they clear the power steering without and fuss. I did install the mini...

Ok, real quick, can I pull the tranny (904) with the engine still in the car (1970 dart w/ 318). I dont care about dropping exuast (I have x-pipe) but hopefully I can do it without have to repull the motor.

Ok, after a bit of reading I have a few questions.... First off here are the specs on the engine/trans 318, Offenhauser single plane intake, Holley 600, Very mild cam, Headers and 302 heads... (Heads I believe are stock) A904-LA trans.. 8 3/4 w/ 3.23 gears.. ( going to 3.55 or 3.92 in the...

Ok, so I was under my 1970 Dodge Dart about a week ago and notice the front oil pan seal was leaking a little bit, so I decided to just order up the following: (This is with a 318 and A904-LA) Oil Pan gasket set Heddman Headers Jegs X-Pipe 2x Flowmaster series... I figured while the...

nice, i am installing new Hedman headers, Jegs X-Pipe and Dual Flowmaster 40's (non-delta) this week, i will post my new clips as soon as I get the project done.

Yeh, double double checked the firing order, it is right.

i will double check the fiering order, but wouldnt that make it not run at all... I was thinkng possibly the choke, is there any way for me really to find that out? I have checked all the vac connections and all are either in use or plugged and as soon as I cover the carb the egine shuts right...

Ok, I have racked my brain in every direction and I am completly out of ideas. First off here is what i have done... Replaced Distributor, Cap, Rotor, Plugs and wires. Moved the Coil and ECU to wheel well. here is the problem... When cold, the engine seems to run decent, however as it warms...

Ok, I have been trying to track down an idle problem on my 70 Dart and I was working on it tonight and when it was getting dark i noticed the drivers side rear plug wire was shorting out on the headers. This is not a suprise since the plug wire hits the header. Anyway. I am wondering what if any...

318 I believe it is stock cam (I recently aquired the car and havent got much done) Unknown Headers (I believe DynoMax) Dynomax muffers (Dual with no X-pip) This was before the re-tune of the engine, i will try to get a newer clip also. Depending on how many people are opening the...

I have set the timing by both ear and also vac pressure. The max pressure I can get is about 15 psi. I am not sure what carb it is other then I know it is a holley and I cannot find any numbers anywere that cross to anything. However, the Vac constantly bounces between about 14.25 and 15 psi and...

Ok, I have Dart mostly dialed in, it starts and idles great, however after the engine is really warmed up (driving around for more then about 20 minutes) the oil pressure dropps from about 50-60 down to about 40 when i am stopped, and when I try to start accelerating, it seems like it has to...

Sorry it took so long, Ive been a little busy. The offy is a 360 Single Plane Intake. I can try to get pics soon for you. I am really leaning toward just going after a set of Edelbrock Aluminum heads and a new cam, but I have to get other stuff done first. As to the X pipe, is it...

Ok boys, now that I have the dart running, I am looking for some (mostly inexpensive) performance options.. Here is what I have have so far: 318 (not sure of castings yet) 318 Fast Burn heads Offenhauser Single Plane intake 6-700 CFM carb, havent found the model yet (but I know it is a...

ok, I reset the fuel mixture and the timing and now it is running like a champ. It is idleing about 750-780 and drops only about 25-50 rpms when put in gear. Currently I am waiting on a buddy to bring over his timing light and vacuum gauge to dial it in the rest of the way. thank you for all the...
