So, I have checked in now and again for Mopar tips, and the crew here has been extremely helpful over the years, even though I no longer have my '69 273 Dart. I'm currently running a '72 Dodge W200 (318/727) plow truck and having overcharging issues. I have a new parts-house rebuilt...

OK, so I've been doing great with a bone stock '73 318 electronic distributor wired to a GM HEI module on a heat sink using the correct coil for such an arrangement. Accidentally left ignition "on" for several days and now she's quit sparkin' altogether. For 10 points….what did I fry? Got two...

A small apology for a non-A body Mopar small block exhaust question. So, I'm wanting to put 83 truck ex manifolds (from 4bbl 318 w/air injection big port heads) on my 72 truck 318 with stock heads. The air ports shouldn't matter and I'll get to use bigger down pipes. Then if I go with a 360...

I no longer own an A-body (had a '69 273 Dart) but now run a '72 W200 plow truck with 318 and 727. Everything is basically un-molested original Mopar except for a homemade HEI conversion (many thanks to this forum). After experiencing occasional complete blackouts of the wiring harness, I now...

I'm running a stock 1972 Dodge W200 (318) and am searching for the best long term carb choice for a general use low RPM plow truck. I wind it out on blacktop sometimes, but generally this truck lives under 3500rpm. I'd build a different motor if I wanted to set the world on fire! I...

My 1975 318 powered dump truck starts and idles fine, revs up nice but lacks power and backfires thru the carb at mid throttle even in neutral with no load.. Definitely a lean burn problem. Carb works fine on my other truck...have tried with two other complete ignition systems with exact same...

Probably been written up a number of times....but here goes...how can I get my truck to hold 1st gear indefinitely when plowing..it tends to shift up to second when I'd rather have her wind up higher for more power. Stock 318, stock linkage.

Hi folks. I have had a nagging problem with my generally very reliable 318 powered 1973 W200 Sno-Fighter factory plow truck. Once warmed up, it doesn't like to run much below 1300 rpm or so and will not idle without constant pedal twitching. All this with three different Carters BBD's and now...

I run a separate on/off toggle to feed battery power to a non stock electronic ignition in my '73 Power Wagon. As it is now, once started, I need to run with the ignition key in the "on" position in order to get charging juice back into the battery. The charging system is bone stock original...

I am having traditional Dodge low voltage issues (1973 plow truck) due to poor firewall connections and probably the damn amp gauge as well. I have been studying the MAD info and excellent photos and documentation provided on such improvements and will be doing all those mods one day when my...

My '73 318 with factory electronic ignition is seeing lower than ideal feed according to my volt meter and stalling when at idle. How can I jumper a hot feed to my ballast for testing purposes? I suspect bad connectors or switch but want to see it run well with all that jazz jumpered.

Well OK folks here goes. I have three 318 motors, a '72, a '73 and an '83 and I wish to rebuild one of them for my 1973 plow truck. All three are 100K plus so will most likely require reboring. Is one of these motors a better block to start with for my application? Motor will be built with an...

How do I adjust my linkage so that I can hold it in low without upshifting to second?

Howdie all troubleshooters! I've got a nagging idle problem with my 318 powered plow truck: I'm barking up the ignition tree as I have the exact same problem when using a different carb off of my good running 318. My 1973 318 (entirely stock) starts and runs well but tends to die at idle...

I run a 1973 W200 and am getting tired of Carter BBD idle problems. Can the T-quad from my '83 D250 be run on the '73 if I swap manifolds too? Got the '83 stocker cast iron and an Offy Dual Port. Stan

Just found an Offy Dual Port Spread-Bore manifold for 273/318 small port heads. Now I need a carb for my mild Rv cammed 318 powered '73 W200. I've got an Edelbrock 500 that I could use with a square bore adaptor.....I'll need to adapt also for my 727 kickdown linkage (Carter BBD originally)...
