    [Found!] 318 4bbl components

    Putting a budget 4bbl setup together, looking for an intake (preferably 318 but any small block would work), along with a carb and throttle linkage. TIA

    Intake stopper?

    A little background: when I got my w150, the 318 ran alright but was an absolute dog, very little power, pretty much had to floor the thing to get it to downshift on hills. It was almost like a massive bog, but felt more like it was just lacking power. Fast forward 3 months later, I got a 4bbl...

    318 oil pressure

    Awhile back my 318la (87 truck block) jumped a timing chain, and bent 9 pushrods. The old pushrods were the oil thru type, the rockers have the drain holes for them aswell. Needed a set quick and the local parts house had factory length mellings, but they didnt not have the oil holes in them...

    Frame rust

    What's your guys' strategy when it comes to rust? Naturally these old hunks of steel rust over time and my area is pretty bad for that, my daily driver and my project both have some frame rust, somewhere in between surface rust and rot, and for the body panels. If I had the time I would do what...

    318 lifter noise

    Got the 318 back up and going in the daily after 4 months, new oil/filter and all that good stuff, the top end was never touched during that whole process. Lifters started tapping as soon as it started, I thought this was normal given all the cranking during testing and the fact that no oil had...

    Am I getting this?

    More spark issues, I previously had the ballast resistor wired all kinds of wrong, with power going into both ends of the ballast (don't ask, I don't know lol), wired it up correctly this time, except that the coils power supply is resisted during cranking and running (keyed hot is manually...

    4 pin vs 5 pin?

    Came across a thread on google regarding the 4 pin ecu vs the 5 pin, and something about dual ballast resistors having a different resistance level depending on whether its being used on the primary side or secondary? I've been having issues with wiring up an electronic ign for awhile and i'm...

    Any Roadkill fans in here?

    Starter sticking

    Wiring up an electronic ign setup on a former lean burn vehicle, from what I understand the starter relay wire that only gets power when cranking goes to the coil + wire along with the ballast resisted keyed hot correct? That way the coil gets full power when cranking and resisted power when...

    Crank snout issue

    Was putting final touches on the 318 after the whole timing chain deal, I noticed that the crank pulley was wobbling, enough to make the p/s pump belt loosen and tighten visually when cranking, tried to pull the balancer out some and re-tighten to insure I'm assembling correctly, same result...

    Odd water pump...

    Just got the 318 back together after the timing chain job, ordered a new GMB pump to go ahead and replace the old one while everything was apart, bolt pattern is different and the outlet is facing the opposite side. What gives? Summit part GMB #120-1250, says that is indeed for a 318la. Went...

    Lean burn to electronic

    Quick question for those that have gotten rid of the lean burn, on my factory lean burn harness I already had one connector going to the + on coil, and once I got the ign box and all wired in, I was told to wire a keyed hot 12v wire going through the ballast resistor, then to + on coil, then to...

    Heat riser/ choke question

    When I changed my 318 from the stock 2bbl and intake to the 4bbl 340 intake, I used the intake gasket that blocked off the heat riser for whatever reason. Saw a fb discussion about heat risers and up to this point I had no idea it was used for the choke and fast idle on it, ever since then the...

    Timing chain fun

    For those that remember my timing/ no start threads, ive found the issue lol. Timing chain jumped in the w150. Never done this type of thing before but i guess there's a first for everything right? From what I know, fuel pump, crank pulley and dampener, timing cover, water pump, and alternator...

    Ignition/ pickup coil issues

    Lean burn to electronic swap, coil wire spark when key is first turned to on is perfect, but coil wire spark when cranking was blue but weak and slow, maybe once every reluctor rotation. Distributor was questionable anyways so i got a new parts house one and put the old one back to rebuild...

    318 TDC help

    Got a new distributor for the 318, current dist timing is no good. Is there any way to find tdc in a 318 by just using the crank dampener and the rotor button location? On my crank dampener i have 2 sets of 2 yellow lines, one goes all the way across the dampener edge, the other set only goes...

    Causes of slow spark?

    What could be a general cause for slow spark? When tested with a screwdriver, any given plug wire will fire once, maybe twice per second of cranking. Doesn't seem to change between slow-ish cranking (when battery starts to die), or faster cranking (jumping off of another car). Can go more in to...

    Lean burn to old style ign swap?

    Swapping an 87 lean burn 318 (carb'd) to regular old style electronic ign, already have a single pickup vac/ advance distributor, ign coil, and 4 prong ballast resistor, all I need now is the ignition module, correct? I see amazon has the genuine mopar orange box unit. Any tips or missing parts...

    Starting issues

    Long story short, I was having some carb issues with the 318 and after talking to some people, all issues seemed to point to a weak fuel pump (87 w150, mechanical pump behind the alternator), now it doesnt want to start. Re-installed the pump thinking I had not done it correctly the first time...

    318 carb issues

    318 in the ram was bone stock with all smog, removed the smog stuff and took the a/c off, installed a 340 alum intake and 600 holley street warrior vacuum, timing is good for sure. Long story short, had to tie off the choke because it would want to idle high when the truck was perfectly warm...

    Stuck spring bolts, what's the trick?

    Eye bolts in my leaf springs are stuck on there, they turn but it tears up the bushing too. Not trying to save the bushings, just the hardware, so what's the trick? My heart says a good 4lb hammer and some force, but something tells me those bolts/nuts wont like that too much. I dont have...

    [Found!] 600/650 Holley

    Looking for a 600 or 650 holley 4bbl. Prefferably vacuum but dp will work aswell. If it needs rebuilt, that is fine (as long as it is priced accordingly lol), i would just like to know beforehand if at all possible. Also lmk if you have dual line for a dual inlet, etc for the particular carb...

    Intake leak question

    87 318 from a w150, carb'd if it makes a difference. Have an oil leak from the back of the intake from what i can tell, it drips onto the bellhousing and passenger side of the block. only leaks when running, drips a couple of times right after shut off but that is it. I have a metal intake...

    Carb help?

    Hey fabo! I've been looking for carbs locally for the truck, wanted a 600 or 650 holley. Found this on facebook, from what i can tell its a double pumper (noob here), guy said its either a 600 or 650. Not quite sure what to look for in these pics so I thought id see what you guys think. He wants...

    U-Bolts: To re-use or not?

    I want to hear some opinions on this. I get the concept of why it (may) not be a good idea to, but at the same time im curious to see what you guys think. Also if thread locker or double nutting it plays any part? In my particular case, there's a very good chance that the bolts im taking off...

    Posted this on FTO, hasn't gotten much traffic and im in a bit of a predicament right now. I realize that this isnt a truck forum, but you guys have helped me a ton lately. If anyone can help i'd greatly appreciate it: 87 w150, almost positive it has a dana 44 front axle. Drivers side lower bj...

    Truck Headers

    '87 w150, 318/727, anybody know of some headers that fit without modification? Something that wont run me broke either, lol. Seems like theres plenty of space under there but the way the drivers side stuff is routed concerns me. Obviously the a.i.r stuff by the manifolds have to go but that...

    Weird electrical gremlin

    Problem is with an 87 ram, shouldn't be too specific but I thought i'd see what you guys thought. Put new headlights on a week ago, old ones always worked but had condensation and were kinda dull, new ones had worked fine the day I put them on and had been to my knowledge until this morning...
