I just finished the rebuild on my la360 with a mild mp perf cam. Everything idles well currently at 800 rpm neutral idle at 20* advanced on a factory set Pertronix flame thrower II ready to run dizzy.I'm running into two issues: 1) From a stop, if I heavy foot the throttle it falls on its face...

Guys, I'm doing a mild 360 build on a budget so the specs will all be pretty OEM but I'd like to put in a mild cam. What lift and duration would be best suited with stock length push rods, valves, and lifters? 77 la block and heads. I run a weiand intake and 650 4 bbl carb.Thanks Clark

Guys I have two la 360 blocks; one is a complete 1977 and the other a 1992 minus heads and intake. I see that the 92 has roller lifters; aside from the lifter difference, is there anything else that may be different that would effect part interchangeability? I'd like to run the 77 heads on the...

Just finished installing my new Summit 600 CFM carb with electric choke and Weiand Action Plus 4 BBL intake. All is fine at idle and mid to high RPM but I am getting a hesitation at take off. So far I've adjusted the air/fuel mix and have maxed my vacuum at idle and have adjusted my curb idle...

Just put my new 4 bbl intake and carb on and I need some help with the kick down linkage on my 904. Should this be all the way forward, half way, or all the way back on the stud? Meaning, the slot on the arm of the linkage. Thanks, Clark

Hey guys, I put a new starter on about 2 weeks ago and starting this week when I start my dart, I get a horrible whizzing sound for about 20-30 seconds before it goes away. I sounds as though its coming from my starter area. :wack: What is the likely hood my starter is staying engaged? Also...

Alrighty, I just put it all back in. The timing is set at top dead center with the ditributor rotor set at plug 1. I have spark and fuel. She'll turn over but she won't fire. Anything anyone can think of I might be overlooking?

Ok, so I have been running the all stock 318 since buying the car in March with my 2bbl carb that was just rebuilt. I am in the middle of an engine tear diown and rebuild and my buddy has given me a cast iron 4 bbl mopar intake off of who knows what and a freshly rebuilt eddy 4 barrel 650 cfm...

I'm looking to put a new set of Mopar performance valve covers on my 318 with stock intake and LA heads. I have read about the Mopar Perf vlve covers not seating correctly. Anyone have any experiences with this issue?

Ok guys, I'll be putting my newly powder coated cast iron manifold back on this week and I have seen a few threads for and against using the cork gaskets versus just RTV. Most of these were for Edelbrock intakes. Should I use the cork on my stocker or no? Also, my new FelPro headgaskets have...

So I have a tick at or around my number one cylinder. This has been going unchanged for about 2 months now, but this morning it went from a faint tick to a loud tap... it is not a knock. Having listened to this repeatedly over the past few months with a stethoscope and I can tell its at or near...

Ok, so I've had a few recent threads about my recent issues with my 318. Up to this point, I have had the carb rebuilt, replaced the coil, and upgraded the points to a Pertronix kit. I have had a few issues up to this point: 1) The timing was 10* retarded and it was hard to start and missed...

Not sure whats going on here, but starting today I have been getting a large amount of water coming out of my exhaust tips. Especially after a quick hit on the accellerator while parked in my garage running. There doesn't appear to be any antifreeze in it as it evaporates quickly and doesn't...

Anyone know where the timing shoud be on a stock 1970 318?

Ok, so I just had my Carter 2 barrel rebuilt and the upper thin paper gasket seems to bleed a little bit of gas. This may be a two part question: 1) As this gasket absorbs fuel will it seal like a cork gasket over a little bit of time? or 2) Can I dress this gasket with Indianhead gasket...

Ok guys, so I noticed a slight delay the other day when I first hit the go pedal at a light and now it seems to be getting a little worse by the day. It also has been harder to start lately, turning over for about 30 secs before firing. I still have the stock 2 barrel on my 318 with a stock coil...
