    318 and my compression ratio

    I was talking to a buddy of mine about my 318. I had it rebuilt a few years ago. All the machine work was done by a very well known engine builder who spends more time building mopar engines than anything else. Its just what he prefers and I have regarded him as a very knowledgable guy when it...

    Small coolant leak

    I have been noticing a small spot of coolant on the garage floor. After the car sits after a drive some must leak out. But it's very little. I got under the car to investigate. The last oil pan bolt on the passenger side was wet with a drip hanging off the edge. Right beneath it was the spot on...

    Still hard starting

    My 318 is still having issues starting when warm. It's a mild 318 with eddy intake and 600cfm electric choke carb. Just today it was doing it. Went for a drive, shut the car off for maybe ten minutes. Without pumping the gas just turning the key it wouldn't fire, just crank. I pumped the pedal a...

    318 using oil

    My 318 has around 10,000 miles since the rebuild. Always changed the oil around the 3,000 mile mark. A couple weeks ago I checked the dipstick to find the mark right on add. About 1,500 miles since the last oil change. I had half a quart lying around and added it. tonight I checked again to find...

    Engine does when backing up...

    I have never heard of this happening before. But this happened a few times while at the nats this weekend. When backing in the parking spot at the hotel I would have the steering wheel all the way turned while in reverse. As I was backing in the spot it started idleing funny then just quit...

    Puffs of smoke

    Today when I started my Duster my dad noticed small puffs of white smoke exiting the driver side exhaust. More smoke came out when I revved the engine. But only the driver side. However, he didn't noticed anything when I pulled away from the house in drive. The 318 was rebuilt a couple years...

    funny noise, anything of concern?

    My car sits outside everynight at my school, and has been there for about 2 months. The weather was cold but now warming up. It fires right up every day with no problems and drives fine into the body shop. But while I let it idle and warm up there is a funny sound coming from what I think is the...

    ticking after adding stabilizer

    After seeing all the discussions about what oil to use I decided to add Lucas stabilizer. I had about half a quart sitting in my garage. I have heard that it's really good stuff and being as thick as it is it prevents metal from touching metal and will always remain at the top of the engine...

    sqeaking belt

    Recently I have noticed my power steering belt was squealing, and was pretty loud if I reved the engine. So we put a smaller belt on it. If I push down on the belt it goes down about 1/2inch which is what it should be. The alternator belt is the same. It helped a little but still sqeaking. So I...

    Need Help!

    We just put my 318 back in my Duster today and encountered a problem. The block went in with the transmission. First we had a hard time getting the engine to sit in the passenger side motor mount. We finally got it to go in. Then we noticed that the transmission wasn't straight. It was off a...
