    318 Lifter Tick

    Before I start, yes, I read all related threads and yes, I should just take off the valve covers and evaluate. Until I can do that, this is bugging me and I’m inquiring to see if there is something obvious I could be missing—> I noticed a lifter tick upon taking an off ramp (right turn) at a...

    383 low oil pressure

    I don't think it has a bad bearing or a missing oil galley plug. I think the oil pump you put on would work perfect if it was bolted to a new engine. But it's bolted to an engine that I'm sure has massive oil demands. I think the engine new had .0015"-.002" main and rod clearances. My guess is...

    1970 318, Rockers installed on wrong side

    I purchased 1966 Coronet 318/727 2025-01-16, original 318 poly replaced with later 1970 318 LA 29K miles since built. Aftermarket cam, specs unknown, no lope. Vacuum at 1000 rpm is 12 inches, not steady. Increases to 17 inches steady at 1800 rpm. Replaced all hoses and rubber plugs. No change in...

    Mopar 383 roller cam selection

    DP's can give nice fuel mileage on the highway/autobahn. In town however, they do not pull good mpg numbers. Got to have a steady foot though no matter and they ain't too bad in town if you anticipate traffic stops etc. And wouldn't a high volume high pressure oil pump help in this situation...

    Figuring oil capacity on a 62-5 stock B pan

    ...great, but at high rpm the oil pressure tanked. I pulled it, cut the windage tray part out, used the pan gasket part, no leaks and no oil pressure issues. It's a very good gasket design. Whether it was in the same position as an actual separate windage tray, or similar design, not sure, but...

    Help - Electrical Gremlins

    The two things I changed was adding a mechanical oil pressure gage and wiring up the light in it. It was wired to a switched hot with no switch on and there was no sign of heat or damage. I also added an oil pressure sending unit for the idiot light and again no sign of line damage. These were...

    Best guess as to what’s going on ?

    67 charger. 383 4brl, has been bored for a bigger cam (so someone has been inside and altered things), larger oil pan, 3spd auto This started happening about a month ago, before that no issues at all. Oil level reads good. Have the factory and aftermarket oil gauge for readings. While moving...

    1970 318, Rockers installed on wrong side

    I'm leaning toward replace. Just finished my taxes. No refunds coming, but I broke even after my 2024 payments. Thought I was still going to owe big. My 318 *low vacuum *mediocre braking *terrible gas mileage *massive pressure under left side valve cover and normal under right side. Right side...

    383 stalls after cold start, whines under acceleration, hard to start after

    No coolant associated with the intake. Most likely water neck,water pump,header bolts or studs in head. Oil can travel up threads of intake mounting bolts. Steel valve covers very prone to leak oil if not strait or sealed properly. PCV is very important to keep crankcase pressure from pushing...

    Re-Rebuilding the 440-493 in a 1970 Charger

    The 6.4 in my truck has hot idle oil pressure at 30 PSI since new.

    Bummer! No oil Pressure

    Same here. 45 years of doing my own oil changes. The problem I'm having is engine lost oil pressure, changed pump (440) and still no pressure. Reaching out for other ideas what causes pressure loss. I welcome ideas on making install is correct.

    1974 Dodge Coronet with extra starter button

    If pilot lights ( brake and oil ) are not working it could be missed positive (same that feeds the VL) or missed senders. Oil sender on engine bay. You can ground the wire and should light up Brake sender… this light gets two signals: emergency/parking brake and brake fluid dist block signal...

    Proper Oil & filter for 426 SW

    Nice looking. You need to post some more pictures. You will get a hundred answers but I like WIX filters and I select a multi-grade, non-synthetic oil that is thick enough to give me 20 psi oil pressure at hot idle in hot weather. For me that may be Driven 10W-30, Driven 20W-50 or Rotella...

    Bummer! No oil Pressure

    Problem: installed new oil pump, started engine and had no oil pressure. Solution: prime oil pump with assembly lube before installing new oil pump. Lesson learned, dry oil pump will not draw oil from pan.

    Trouble with Timing Chain install 383

    IT'S ALIVE! 2.0 Yesterday was the culmination of time, hard work (for me), and money. I primed the oil pump holding 55 psi, poured some Sunoco 93 down the carb, cranked only two/three times so fuel got to the carb and - boom - it fired right up! 20 Min 2000 RPM - the temp never went above 180...
