I will be changing the oil & filter in my 318 shortly. My engine builder told me to include a 16 ounce bottle of a ZZDP oil additive with the fresh oil and new filter. My question is do I use 5 quarts of oil + 1/2 quart of ZZDP additive? Or, 4 1/2 quarts of oil & 1/2 quart of ZZDP equaling 5...

I'm looking for easier access to the oil filter on my '71 Dart GT, 318, with dual exhaust running factory exhaust manifolds. My arms don't work so good under the car so, ideally I'd be working from the top of the passenger side fender. The car has/had the 90* adapter on it and getting the...

My engine builder has suggested the Comp Cams XE-250 or the XE-252. Since I'm cam "dumb" I would appreciate some guidance. Some details about the car/engine to the best of my knowledge: The machine shop performed an .030" over bore on the cylinders, polished the crank and added(?)...

My engine builder has offered me the above mentioned cam (& matching bore lifters) that was removed from a '65 Cuda with a 273. He told me the cam wouldn't allow the Cuda's power brakes to work properly, so it was removed after about 200 miles. My 120,000 mile engine is getting a basic stock...

A friend put a camshaft in a 273 for a customer. After an unknown run time (I was told break-in and approximately 20 miles), it was decided the camshaft would not allow the power brakes to function properly. The customer decided to have my friend replace that camshaft with one that would allow...

on the 318 in my '71 Dart GT as my old a$$ can't contort like I used to under the car (pinched nerve (C7), bursitis in both shoulders, etc...). The car has the 90* adaptor on it with dual exhaust using the factory exhaust manifolds. Is there more, top side (over the fender), accessibility...

When the 4-bbl was installed on my 318 (about 5 years/3,000 miles ago) the original timing chain and gears were replaced with a SUM-G6603 double roller chain/gears. I also had a new water pump (Cardone 8-vane) installed. The engine is going in to be rebuilt in a few weeks. Can these...

Using the search function I came across this: WIX oil filter A google search: Has anybody used this shorter filter? I assume since there is a smaller filtering area the filter would need to be changed more often. Pros & Cons?

I changed the oil & filter on my 318 that has the factory 90* oil filter adapter on it. The car has dual-exhaust using the stock exhaust manifolds and 2 1/4" pipes. I installed a shorter WIX 51085 oil filter. I'm wondering if it would be easier to get to the filter without the 90* adapter on...

Having some work done to my (113,000 original miles) '71 Dart GT. It has the original 318 V-8. My mechanic buddy is installing SummitRacing double roller timing chain and gears, LD4B Edelbrock intake manifold, 1406 600 c.f.m. Edelbrock carburetor, Cardone 8-vane water pump, Lokar "kickdown"...

My nephew, Elijah, was visiting us (during my father-in-law's funeral) last week, when I learned he is a "car guy". So, I took Eli out to the garage to show him the Dart. I started the Dart as usual, but it now has a very pronounced "Tick". This tick increases with rpm. It has a cast iron...

I'm getting my Summit order together for the Lokar products I'll need (as seen on Tony Fields' car (1st photo)). I have a 1971 Dart GT 318 with the A904 console shifter. I will be putting on an Edelbrock LD4B intake manifold with an Edelbrock 1406 600 cfm carburetor. Have I selected the...

My buddy has a '65 A100 pickup with a 360, 727, 8 3/4" with a 3.23:1 sure-grip, Edelbrock Performer intake & 1406 600cfm carb. This truck has a problem that appears to be getting worse. It will start and run for about 10-15 minutes. Then it develops a sputter/fart/die scenario. However, it...

Want to put a 4-bbl on my '71 Dart GT with a 318, auto., 3.23:1 SG, elec. ign., and 2 1/4" duals to FlowMaster 40s. I've located two intake manifolds: 1. Is a 1970 340 manifold for $30 2. Is a 1974 360 manifold also for $30 Which would you choose? Will either one work with my...
