I'm liking the idea of covering up the air horn. I will test out all the lines as well. I'm only running PVC to carb and brake booster to intake. Everything else is plugged up. Advance is mechanical but I already checked the springs and bushing in the mad pro billet. All looked good. So does the...

I've been trying to figure this one out for some time now. Its a 318 stock except for a cam, headers, edelbrock 4 barrel, and ignition upgrades. When I fire it up, it slowly seems to build up rpms up to around 3,000.fast idle screw is back all the way, so is the idle screw, and idle mixture...

Thanks everyone! Will give it a shot and provide Feedback when I am able to do so

So I got my hands on another timing light and confirmed mine was damaged. I ended up setting timing to 35* advanced at 2500 rpm. I am almost at where I want to be to be able to drive this thing. Only issue I am having now involves the choke. I noticed when I let it open, idle increases. When I...

So here is where I stand. I just wanted to verify with all you my steps before I startit up again. This is where my timing is set (14* btdc compression stroke) Rotor pointing at number one wire Order of my wires I have my idle mixture screws backed out 1 1/2 turns, idle...

Thanks for the help everyone. As bad as I want to get my Mopar on the road asap, I won't be able to get to it for a couple of days. I will keep your advice in mind and keep you all posted!

So here's where I am at...I feel like I made progress. I played around with the distributor a bit more and checked the bushing, which was covered in rust! I cleaned it up a bit and installed everything back on the way it was. Car fired right up and stayed running at pretty high Rpms. No more...

The motor isn't new, but I just had it tore down not to long ago for inspection, and mainly to replace main bearings and rear main seal. All the internals checked out fine, including the camshaft. I just finished re installing the distributor making sure motor was at tDC compression stroke, and...

I'm having some backfire troubles on my 318. Engine fire up well but won't steadily idle for long, and when it dies, the carb spits fuel back out. Is my distributor of 180*? Would it even start up if if it was? Check all the wires and are in the1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 order. Any ideas?

Just wanted to keep all you updated after a lot of trial and tribulation... I figured out the high idle issue I was having. after taking all of your guys advice, I started wondering about the distributor and ended up taking off the cap and rotor, after the rotor came off, I immediately noticed...

ILM, your car looks very clean from underneath! what kind is it? let me ask, do you have any interference issues where the x-pipe and the transmission meet? is your system welded? do you think I can get away with clamping it all down? I don't have a welder and I am also on a budget.

I am looking to get a direct fit x-pipe exhaust system. just wondering what people are running? I see a lot of universal versions from summit and jegs. What kind of issues will I run into with one of these systems if any? Are the Pypes systems compatible without issues? I like their cut out...

throttle cable looks fine to me. pulls and releases smoothly. nothing really to interfere with it as far as I can see. I checked the primaries and secondaries for binding and cannot fins any sigs of it. the electric choke seems to operate right. The carb is an edelbrock and I am fairly new to...

Fast idle is backed off. Idle screw is barely screwed in to barely keep it idling. idle mixture screw are backed off 1 1/2 ccw.

Heres the set up: 318 Stock internals (besides mild cam) LD4B edelbrock intake 1406 edelbrock carb ( with jets, needle, springs upgrade) MSD distributor, 6al ignition box, ignition wires. headers Heres the issue I have been having ever since I swapped from the 2 barrel to a 4 set up. I...

Finally figures it out. Was on the wrong tdc thus the sputtering. Good to hear her breath again!

The vehicle is a 72 plym. Satellite with original wiring harness besides No ballast resistor in the circuit in the circuit. I am able to bypass it with the 6al and dizzy I am running. What I did end up finding is that my 6al box was being grounded by the plate it is bolted on to. After removing...

I am having trouble firing up my stock 318 with some ignition upgradeswhich include msd 6al box, mechanical distributor, and a 340 cam. I began diagnosing and came to a conclusion of not having a spark. I proceeded to check my coil, and noticed that it doesn't read any voltage at all even with...

I am confused as to what dust shield you are referring too?

Would either of these throw off the pulley alignment?. The last thing I want when replacing a balancer is to run into other issues. I think many can agree with this, with any parts replacement.
