I can tell you none of these prices apply in Connecticut....

Thanks for the replies. Its just hard to get used to these Ford heads.

I am porting/ polishing my exhaust ports on my 302 heads. I have done a couple of 915 heads and a slant head. My question is on the exhaust seat.These heads seem to be a little different than the others in the exhaust seat itself. I hope I can explain this correctly. The seat insert overhangs...

Hi - Has anyone ever posted pics of a 302 head that has been ported. I am especially interested in the exhaust port. I am trying my first port and polish. Not my first time porting but first time with the 302's/ Thanks for any help pics or insight.

Thanks...........

Just out of curiosity what are the lift specs on a 75 318 2 barrel. Ive looked in a lot of places and 373/400 and 390/420 keep coming up. Which is correct? and where did you get youre info?

Thanks for all the replies on this. I pulled the head and found no damage put everything back together and its running. I do have a weird timing issue but at least its finally running. Thanks again.......

I have the high tack in the can with the brush.

when you say shellac , do you mean RTV?

Thanks..Does it matter if youre using them with an aluminum manifold?

Anyone ever use the aluminum gaskets for their intake? They came in a MP kit with block offs and another set of regular intake gaskets.

Well I pulled the intake and the drivers side head. Didn't find anything. There is a small ding in one of the pistons though. Nothing fell out of the head. Is it worth it to remove the valves to check? Cylinders look great no ridge and some still have the crosshatch.

I got good news and I got bad news. Found the problem. one of the primary throttle blades screws were broken it looked like it was closing but must of been hanging up. The heads of the screws were there yesterday but are now gone. took off the carb and can't find them. Is my only option to take...

I still have a problem with the fast idle screw up on the cam or not...Thanks for the help ramcharger.

If I choke off the air supply it does die. When I open the choke a little (1/8") it runs lopey. Any more than that and it goes to full throttle. I do get some black smoke from the tailpipe. Can I be hurting the engine running it like this while trying to figure this out? I wanted to try another...

Retorqued intake bolts. Put fuel regulator in line dropped to 5 lbs. and it runs but still revs like crazy As soon as you open the choke plate. If choke plate is all the way open it is a runaway. Am I getting to much fuel somehow. idle screws do nothing. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Its a holley 650 spreadbore. The lines are hooked up right and ran perfectly yesterday for about an hour total.

No the PCV hose is still there. And I,ll take all the help I can get.

Throttle plates fully closed. Black soot came out exhaust on the last try. It almost seems like a vacuum leak?

Also tried without vacuum advance hooked up. vacuum can is not stuck. weights seem to move normally.

I have a 66 dart with a 318 four barrel. I started it for the first time yesterday and it ran good. Started it this morning and it went straight to full throttle. Looked in the carb and there was lots of raw gas. I took the bowls apart and checked for sunk floats ,float level, inlet seats...

Thanks rumble, worked perfect.

The last couple of times I had to remove a Dist. gear I used a magnet and they came out easily. The one on this 318 won't. What other methods do you guys use?

Thanks for the reply. In the old post they said how to build a stop using an old spark plug?

I was trying to find an old post I was reading on how to build and use a piston stop for true TDC. I can't seem to find it. Can someone explain it again or guide me to the post? Thanks........................

Thanks for the replies. The ones I found were "sm" rated. Where do you get the "off road" type?

I just put a low mile 318 in my Dart. The motor sat in a garage for 4 or 5 years its from a 75 cordoba. It will be started a few times this winter and then will be a daily driver in the summer. I can get VR 1 from NAPA in 20w 50 and 10w 30. and straight weights. Should I use the 10W 30 now and...

I am in the middle of a upgrading to a V8. I have the original style brackets and pedal. But the local parts store doesn't list anything for 66. I was thinking about trying the later a body one.

Where is the best place to get an accelerator cable for my 66 Dart?

So it sounds like the consensus is to drop the motor in without the manifold. It is the stock 273 manifold.
