    Wrong distributor for 69 318?

    Hey everyone. I've got a weird distributor issue that took me way too long to diagnose (since I kept thinking it was fuel - classic mistake...) This is a recently rebuilt 318 original to my '69 Barracuda. Pretty much stock except for dual exhaust and 4 barrel intake/carb. My (probably...

    Stock 2bbl air cleaner restrictive?

    Hi everyone. I've got a very mild 318 (~8.7CR with essentially a 340 cam, edelbrock performer manifold and carb) and I'm my stock '69 2bbl air cleaner that's had the base adapted to the 4bbl carb. This is a single snorkel intake, and I'm wondering if it's going to be too much of a restriction on...

    Early vs Late 3v Crank Pulley Differences?

    Hey everyone. I'm trying to find a suitable replacement for my '69 3-groove pulley (for my power steering/AC 1969 Barracuda). MAncini racing has one that looks like it would work CVF Small Block Chrysler Crankshaft Pulley - 3V . But, they say it's only for 70-later with the water pump outlet on...

    Machine shop forgot oil plug?

    So, I'm following the pre-flight check on assembling my '69 318, and I'm having trouble determining if the main bearing oil galley plug is actually installed - it looks like it's just the block metal and I can see into passages that run parallel to it. Here are a couple photos; the bottom is...

    Very mild 318 - Comp 252H vs 340 cam?

    Hi everyone. I'm on that magical phase where I'm trying to pick a cam for my '69 318. Specs are as follows: -675 heads, stock (albeit with a 3-angle valve job and some other rebuild work) -block bored 40 over -stock crank and rods -KB 167 pistons yielding a calculated 8.94:1 CR -stock manifolds...

    Water jacket rust on bare block

    So I've got my '69 318 block back from the machine shop, and as I'm rotating it on the engine stand some bits of corrosion fall out the water jacket holes on the top of the block. Looking down in the jacket I can see some chunks of flaky rust the I can knock loose with a screwdriver, but now...

    Best replacement pistons for stock '69 engine

    Hey guys. So, this being my first engine building venture outside of VW/Porsche world, I'm overwhelmed with piston choices (in that, there are more than two choices). I've got a stock, original 1969 318 2bbl out of my '69 Barracuda. It was very worn out and was bored 40 over at the machine shop...

    Very Mild 318 Build

    Hi everyone. After determining that my 69 Barracuda's 318 had more than enough wear to warrant a winter rebuild, I decided to start a new thread to get some advice on which parts to use. Coming from the Porsche world the selection is frankly pretty overwhelming...with old Porsches you have "the...

    318 2bbl won't idle without choke

    Been chasing a carb issue on my 69 Barracuda. The car is a 2bbl Carter 318 with the original engine and carb. I've been bringing it back from a long slumber since buying it in April. I've replaced the entire ignition system (plugs, wires, ballast resistor, distributor with all internals, coil)...
