I have a new question for y’all. Where should I set my initial timing. If I set my timing at zero top dead center with cylinder one on the up stroke and point my electronic distributor at cylinder 1 my car will not start at all. Is there something different that needs to be done for mopar...

I found another issue today.... my intake is sucking air all over the place. I’m sure that’s not helping. Between my manual fuel pump sending to much fuel pressure and the intake gasket being bad I’m sure that’s a lot of the problem. We will see how she runs after I replace the intake and gaskets

What size carb do y’all recommend for a 318 with dual exhaust? Is a 600 cfm just to big for the engine?

Yeah man, I’m a newbie, but have a mechanical mind. I was going to use a timing light to check myself and plan to advance the timing to about 16°

Ok, thank you. I’m new to this and learning as I go. I replaced the fuel pump and that fixed my increased pressure issue. I will advance the timing a touch next and then retune. Thanks for all your help guys. I wish I would have learned this as a kid but everyone starts somewhere.

Ok, thank you

Actually running 17lbs of vacuum

Thanks man

I haven't checked the timing yet but will definitely check that out. Thanks

It does have adjustment screws on the carb and we have tuned it. I've also adjusted the jets size to 64 from 66 and retuned again. Is there any other thing that can cause it to run rich other than a carb issue?

The carb has been set to about 12 lbs of pressure which is about 1 1/4 turns. It does have black smoke and the plugs are black. I just replaced all the plugs and reduced the jet size. The carb only has 500 miles on it so I don't think it's a bad carb. My theory is maybe a bad fuel pump that is...

Hey guys, first time posting here, and just bought my first muscle car. 73 scamp with 318. It has a mild cam, duel exhaust, 4 barrel intake, msd plugs, wires and distributor, and a Holley 600 cfm carb. The motor is running way too rich and I can't figure out why. Any help would be greatly...
