I have been restoring this Scamp over a year now and have lately been driving it around town. Engine is a 318 block with 340 X-heads and 340 intake, the cam/crank/bore/stroke is all unknown to me as I never went that far into the engine. The 904 trans, front disc brakes, front end rebuilt...

Unfortunately I am pressed to sell my pride and joy, in an effort to get a more family friendly vehicle. I have been bringing this Scamp back from the dead for over a year now and have lately been driving it all around town. engine is a 318 block with 340 X-heads and 340 intake, the...

Just wondering who has experience with these bad-boys and what jet size you would suggest... It's running lean now for sure, it's a 318 block running 340 X-heads, 340 intake, cam, I'm not sure if it's stroked or not but it's very possible as this was a weekend dragster many years ago...

I've got a ticking coming from under the passenger side valve cover, I read that the first thing to try is a thicker oil, how thick would you go? is 20w-50 too thick? engine runs pretty well, maybe a slight occasional miss, haven't done a compression test yet. any thoughts? I'de love to...

Ok here it is. I have this screeching sound while rolling/driving. It's loudest when I'm barely rolling. Cleaned off pads and shoes - still "screeech" I have re-packed all of my wheel bearings - no dice. Re-torque my pinion nut to 240 ft lbs - still squeaking... I checked to see if...

If she runs pretty good here does that mean perhaps the distributor is off a tooth? she starts to run better if I turn the distributor a little more towards the intake but then it will completely cut off the vacuum advance line... :(

I need to sell my Edelbrock performer intake. Bought from a member here and never used. I need the money for school more than I need this intake :P $100 + ship.

Is the sound sucking sound because I have an open-element air filter? it sounds like it's coming from the carb but i cannot find a definite source. all vacuum lines are used or capped off that I can see, and the big hole in the back is plugged...

I've got a few parts lying around in my garage and I gotta get some money for school so... 7 1/4 BBP rear end (open)(drum to drum) --$150 Edelbrock performer intake (318/360) --$100 7 1/4 shock plates and U-bolts --$25 1 full unopened gallon of evercoat Rage Extreme filler + hardener --$40...

Ok so my cone-type sure-grip seems to be giving me some issues... When the car is jacked up and I spin the driveshaft both wheels spin (as they should) but when I manually turn 1 wheel, the other wheel spins in the opposite direction! (This happens when the car is in neutral or park and the...

When I pump the brake the idle raises a few hundred RPMs... for just a second or two then drops until I pump again... is this normal?

After about a 5 minute drive at normal speed, when I slow down I get a whine that sounds like a constant metal-on-metal screech... Braking does not have any effect on this noise, it only stops when the car comes to a complete stop. Wheel bearings maybe?

I'de love to trade for a better gear for my 8 3/4 741 case. 3.55 or 3.73? I just purchased this intake from another member but changed my mind and am going another route. Other reasonable offers will be considered.

From a stand-still if I stomp the gas the car wants to get up and go, tires start spinning and such, but only for a short while before what seems like it just gives up. any time between 1500 - 2200 rpm range it's great, but after that it's a grandma car... :P I'm wondering if it could be off...

I know it's fast, haha. but in an effort to NOT get a ticket I need to fix my speedometer. I'm not sure where to start with this, but I know that speedometer stays pegged at 0 while I drive. please help if you can. thanks! :rock:

So I drove about 45 minutes away on monday to pick up an edelbrock performer intake for my 318. This intake I purchased from Dartman(Johnny) and it was a great transaction. I went to start the swap and I noticed the intake that was on my 318 looked a little off. Until now I just went with...

After being "dead" for over 10 years, I have revived her and with a little more TLC she will be one bad-*** daily driver! YouTube - Video 23.MP4

I have a ticking coming from the drivers side wheel, it's probably the wheel bearing. Is this an easy replace at home?

Well it has been one hell of a year since my license was revoked March 17th 2010. Reflecting on my actions, I was a dumbass... Today I got my license back, paid out the *** for insurance, it feels good to be back behind the drivers seat!! Live and learn I guess. :drinkers: + :burnout: = :wack:

Are there any vehicles that (if I found in a junkyard) I would be able to strip the fuel injection setup off of and it would fit my 318? :coffee2:

I rebuilt the front end of my Scamp a few years ago and it hasn't gone anywhere since. My front tires are way out of whack. the wheels look like this from the front: /-[0-0]-\ <-- sorry for the crappy illustration... lol. The front of the car also sit very low to the ground, as if...

Thinkin about slappin this on the Scamp... :glasses7:

Scene: 1406 Edelbrock 600cfm 4-barrel carb electric choke. Sitting on a 318 with a decent cam. Electronic ignition with vacuum advance. Problem: Carb is drowning my engine, after engine stops running the carb is still feeding gas from the primary venturi boosters. I'm looking for some...

Symptoms: Starts up (usually have to hold my foot to the floor) The choke revs her up and all's well... She comes back down to an idle and things get kinda rocky... It idles half decent for a little bit then sounds like its running very lumpy, as if a few cylinders flood out and eventually it...

Looking for a yoke for an 8.75 rear, 741 case 10-spline the u-joint area is 2 1/8(between c-clips) and 1 1/8 diam caps. Maybe someone has one lying around that they would part with?

O.k. after day 3 of fighting with a broken bolt that wont come out of my pinion yoke, I decided that I would take the yoke off and bring it to my step-dad's shop so he can try... I bought a new breaker bar and 2 foot section of heavy duty pipe (to hold the yoke still as I have seen on a thread...

Ok I have totally killed my differential yoke. broke a bolt off putting way too much into it. long story short I've burned through several bits and once I finally got a hole in the bolt I managed to break a bolt extractor off which took the place of the hole I drilled. Not my day... I...

8 3/4 Suregrip rear, cone style with the 741 case. Should it be easy and smooth when I'm turning the yoke to make the wheels spin? It's hard to spin and when it does spin its not a smooth spin. :scratch: It is low on gear oil but it had this problem when it was full of oil too. HELP...

Rockingham, Who's goin???

Very excited, took my tax return and the wife's 04 Chevy Cavalier out to a Ford dealership and bought a nice '08 Dodge Calibur! :P
