    New cam for my 318

    I'm going to run this by everyone here, because I am by no means a cam expert; I'm just some dude who loves Mopars and is mechanically inclined. My 318 was replaced about 12 years ago after the last one finally gave up the ghost on me on the highway. When I put the "new" one in (I got a rebuilt...

    Dash lights and left blinker not working

    Hi everyone. My 67 Dart had been having a bad run of luck with the instrument panel, and I was able to solve most of them by doing the following: 1) Replacing the 5 Volt power supply with one made from modern parts. 2) Replacing all of the light bulb plastic holders. 3) Replacing all of the...

    Did some work, now steering pulls by itself

    Hey everyone, (1967 Dart, 318, Power steering) I did a little plumbing when replacing my original (cracked) PS pump with a Saginaw off of a '70 small block. There was a problem with the fittings mating up, and I stripped some of them (Grrr!). So, I pulled the plenum off of the steering gear; a...

    Brackets for a SB Saginaw pump?

    Hey, I've got a 1967 Dart w/ an aftermarket 318, and a leaking power steering reservoir. I've looked all over, and cannot find a rebuilt power steering pump/reservoir anywhere. I did recently buy a Saginaw pump and reservoir that came off of a 1970 318. The only thing is, the brackets on the...

    I have read on this forum that putting in a 1970 or later water pump into your Pre-1970 car is considered an "upgrade." Just wondering what the benefits would be, and if any modification is necessary to do this. Looking at pictures of the two water pumps, it appears that they are pretty...

    Fluctuating temperatures while driving

    Okay, I've got a '67 Dart with a stock 318 lower end and heads, edelbrock intake, edelbrock 4-barrell, and dual exhaust. Recently my car started running hot, on the highway or in town. Sometimes it runs at perfect temperature (from my stock gauges), but then other times it will heat up to the...

    stripped water outlet bolt

    I flushed the radiator and changed the thermostat because it was time to do so, and upon reinstalling the water neck, I stripped the front bolt inside the intake manifold. I have a 318 topped with an Edelbrock aluminum intake, and this particular bolt hole has been drilled and tapped once...

    Electronic ignition upgrade / voltage regulator question

    I upgraded to an electronic ignition setup when replacing my engine years ago. No problems there, but recently I had read that if you do this it is essential to upgrade to a "new style" voltage regulator and start using a two-field alternator. I did not do this back then, and have run the car...
