So I finally figured out what was causing the miss. It was a spark plug wire that I had not fully seated the wire on the tip of the plug and after a while{ quiet a few miles} it burned the end of the wire which was causing the miss. Thanks for every ones input. :violent1:

It's been about 6000 miles since I tuned up and installed the motor. Why would the alternator dip every time the miss hit's . Would a bad spark plug do this? I was thinking the cap and rotor, the wires all look good. I will have to pull some plugs and take a look.

So I have a 318 that has about 25000 miles on it and runs good but I noticed the last few times I drove it seemed to have a miss and popped out the carb when I jump on it, only a few times. Now I noticed when in gear {automatic} stopped the alter gauge drops when the miss hit's. You can feel...

The O.D at the bottom of the listing is the depth of the water pump pulley? I have a three ring pulley on the crank. If I change the water pump pulley and run the power steering belt thru the outer ring then the water pump/ alt can run thru one of the inside rings on the crank. I have a double...

I'm looking to get rid of the compressor. My 69 never had a/c.

Just thought I'd check to see if there is a link to this subject. I tried to look it up with any luck.

So I did a v8 swap a few years back and the 74 dart 318 I installed in my 69 dart had a/c so I have been running the car with the a/cc belts running thru the pump. I have issues with the belts squealing a bit at higher rpms. I need to find out what parts I'll need to get rid of the a/c pump...

I would say it is your distributor because I was having the same problem. It would start fine after parked over night then I would drive it park and then it would just turn over. It would eventually start , then one day it wouldn't start in the garage after being park and found that the...

I have had the same problem with hot starts or after running the car then go back out to start the car and it just cranks and cranks and yes giving just a little gas not to much to finally get it started. Well after many threads on FABO I replaced the distributor and reset the timing at about...

If I remove the main feed line to the squirters and pump the foot pump it still doesn't squirt ?

Yes there are two water lines one comes from the tank to the pump then a smaller line goes to the squirter nipples. any thoughts it worked fine before I disconnected it for a few months now it just dribbles out the squirters.

Can anyone tell me why my foot pump washer doesn't work? It worked fine till I changed the engine and painted the engine compartment. Do I have to reprime the system to get it to work after three months ? It worked fine when I removed it? If I remove the water line off the tank and blow into...

Well I just retested the timing and I had it set at 10 d BTC. I dropped it to about 4 or 5 d BTC and the car seems to run fine still, quick response off the line and no hesitation. There isn't someone who knows what the manual says the timing should be set? Just to get an idea where to start...

Last month I had to change the distributor in my 318, I dropped it in right at the same point where it was when I removed the old one. Set the timing at 2 d before tdc and the car was gutless, set it again at like 6 D before TDC and it runs great has great performance but my gas mileage seems...

Here is a link to the ebay seller, The guy was great to work with and the rim's are great. http://stores.ebay.com/RONS-RIMS1/VINTAGE-HOTROD-/_i.html?_fsub=233632819&_sid=8871529&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322 Here are the rim's but silver. I bought 15" ...

The wheels are off ebay there knock off of the torch thrust but have the machined lines down each rib. They are Ione rims, The tires are goodyear eagle GT 15"

Just wanted to THANK YOU for all the help in figuring out the problem.

I'm just using a mopar type ecu and distributor, I'm running a 74 318 I have already replaced the distributor after the last post. My manual only goes up to 71, What timing should I be running 2 before tdc, 70 and older said Zero ? I set it at 2 a few before tdc. seems to run good and...

So after two days of messing with it and testing, I was checking for a spark at the cap after pulling a wire turned it over and acted like it wanted to fire up? Put the wire back on and it fired right up? Earlier today after find no spark at the plug and I had spark at the coil I took the...

I borrowed a test unit from a mechanic that you plug onto the spark plug and the other end to the wire and is long enough to see the light bulb on the tester from inside the car. Tried a few times with no spark, turned the motor over a few times long each time. So the cap and rotor are new a...

I don't have a spark at the spark plug and got my neighbor to help turn the car over and held the test light at the coil tower! I have a bright blue spark! What's that telling me that the electrical unit in the distributor is not working? Electronic ignition? Thanks

So I borrowed a spark plug test light. No spark at the spark plug? Now I need to test the Coil, I'll need to get help to hold the test light to the tower. I tried to replace the Ballast resister with an old one I had yesterday, it doesn't need to be bolted down does it ? I just plugged the...

So I'm reading this post because I have the same problem. IE fuel at the carb but haven't checked the spark because I'm by myself and don't have a remote start. It looks like it has fuel at the carb spray from two streams. Four barrel carb. It just turns over and over. It ran fine a few days ago...

Thanks, I set it at 10 btdc, it was set at about 5 or 6.

What do I set the timing at for a 318 1974 how many degree's before tdc. Thanks Ted

Hi I'm running a carter AFB , How might I lean the carb ? The two strait slot screws at the front of the carb? What turn them clockwise a half a turn each?

Well I have had a couple of issues lately with my 318 not starting up after I have driven for a half an hour, then turn the motor off unload the kayak and gear and go to park and it just turns over and is real touchy about flooding it. So the other day I was checking the idle speed and noticed...

Oh you meant this kind of bay ! LOL:evil4:
