well its all buttoned up. I removed the stock manifolds yesterday and tried to install a set of "universal" headers. what a pain. I ended up not being able to fit it with the power steering box. so back to the house and ordered a set of headman 78050 headers (says it will fit 72 318 auto...

FINALLY!!!!! We got it figured out. first of all the pickup coil in the elec dist was shot causing the welding problem. Second the poor running was caused from the following. 1) the flapper on the passenger side of the engine would flap shut when the engine was reved. 2) single small...

here is what we have now. the engine itself was built in Denver by a couple of racers there. I used to have electronic ignition in, but due to my problems with starting I switched to points ignition. the Eldebrock carb, has had the choke flap removed from when we were running on a race car...

the engine is a new build, buy a pro in Denver. was full assembled when I picked it up. fires right up, without hesitation. no poping. but when you get the engine to 2500ish, it bogs really bad, and then starts poping out the carb. just went out and double checked timing, advance, cap...

unfortionatly no one even in the county has a dodge. Part of the reason I switched from Chevy to Dodge. I have not seen one around. I have changed almost everything to try and repair this. 3 intakes, the Holley, a stock 4bbl, and the stock 2bbl. 3 carbs, an 850 eldebrock, a 600 Eldebrock...

thanks all. still fighting with it. it seems to act as if the choke is stuck shut. The only problem is that the choke is not even on the carb. has a small miss or shimmy at an idle, and then bogs just as I touch the pedal. then stays crappy the rest of the time. I can drive it on the...

it will idle all day long, but it is kinda rough. like the carb is out of tune. turned the idle jet in till it about died, then out. I ended up with 1/4 turn out from closed on both sides. if I mat it to the floor, it sounds like it is sucking the air cleaner through the carb, but engine RPM...

thank you to all that posted on helping me finally get my Dart running. Now I have it running I have yet again another problem. it runs a bit rough. smells kinda rich. another problem I am having is, when you are driving, it runs well untill about 1/4 and more throttle. then it bogs and wont...

going to order one from summit right now. pulled one of the valve covers off to find that I have oil comming from the rockers. think I need pressure for that. running baldwin filters on both cars. are these ok filters. will have a pic of the engine bay as soon as I clean it up (painted...

Ok well we got it running finally. I changed to a new points distrubutor. new coil, a larger battery. dropped a bit of oil in each cyl. and off it went. I found that I need a much smaller carb. I have an 850 eldebrock. guess it is to much. here is a new question. I did not have a know...

So here is the deal, maybe you all can help. I have spent 3 days pissing in the wind trying to get this thing to run. I have a 1972 dart. I just purchased a rebuilt 318, as mine was junk. engine was 90% redone. new rings, bearings, 100% head job, new oil pump.ect, ect . got the engine in...

Well after 2 months of waiting my new engine finally got here. what I ended up with is a 1977 318. bored .030 new pistons, rings, rod/main bearings, new freeze plugs, new oil pump ect, ect. the heads are a set off a 1968 318 and were overhauled. this has been a major pain in the bum to get...

I have a new in the box 360 gaskey kit that I just got from jegs. is it the same or partially the same for a 318. I found a 360 short block reman on ebay for 700 shipped, but a buddy of mine has access to a very strong 1968 318 for sale for 500 with rebuilt 904. thinking about buying the 318...

I found a new short block 360 for $550.00 I have a 1972 360 from a pickup. I sent the heads to the shop to have checked out. will the heads and intake from the 72 fit on this motor? Also will the exhaust manifolds fit? I read somewhere that these are completly diffrent motors, and dont want...

I was told to install a 360 in place of my 318 in my 72 dart, that I needed a B&M balanced flex plate. I ordered a SFI rated 360w/904 flex plate from jegs and got it in today. I cant figure out what I got. I take it the flex plates are not the same as ferd or cheby. this one has no ring gear...

BTW I forgot to mention, that I dont feel that how those 3 arsehole "mopar" guru's got me, is how you are all are in general. I dont understand how they can call themselves "Mopar Nutz", "car buffs" or humans in general. Sorry if it sounded like I was refering to all "hardcore Mopar" guys and...

thank you all for the Mopar 101. I am learning a ton. I don't really have a 100% solid reason for the switch, but here is as close as it gets. I have been building chevy cars since high school. I am from a really small town, so that was all we had to do. After I graduated, I left for the...

Dang I really stepped in it now....ok so maybe I should have used 327 as the engine to compare. but it looked to me like Mopars smallest v8 was the 318, and that was close to the 305, to far from the cubes of a 283....I will try to remember that from now on. but FYI I had a 305 (tons of money...

I do apologize for not placing a pic. finally added one to my sig. picked up the motor yesterday....had to clean all the chevy stuff from the garage, to have room to work on the Dodge. you will all be happy to know that for the first time since I have her, the Nova is sitting outside, replaced...

thought that header might get your attention...8) I need some help figuring a few things out. being just out of chevy into Mopar, I am trying to figure these engine numbers out. first of all. is a 318 the ford 302 and chevy 305 equivelent? and is a 360 the ford 351 and chevy 350 eq? the...
