    Fuel Pressure issue and (at least partial) Solution

    If yur talking the the P4007040 pump, I've been running that since around year 2000. That thing is rated 80gph at 8.7psi. enough for any SBM. My Holley 750 DP with stock inlet-valves has never had an issue with it. Actually, I have run several different carbs, including at least one TQ, and none...

    So I decided to build a 360 for my Valiant :)

    I have a combo nearly exactly as you are contemplating including a 230/237/110 cam. Mine is currently at 11.1 Scr and under alloy heads. It runs on 87E10 just fine, even at 185psi. What I'd like to tell you is that the previous cam was 223/230/110, running at 11.3Scr and close to 200psi...

    ANNOYING EXHAUST SOUND

    Mine cruises at 65=2240 (manual trans, in overdrive); quiet as a church-mouse...... until you stand on it, then, screaming all the way to 7200. TTIs, dual 3" all the way, turn-downs, and TTI-supplied, Dynomaxers circa 1999. The hangers are also from TTI, big ugly dual-strap, rubberized things...

    The beloved 318

    I installed KB107 Hypers in my HO 367, back in 1999. I used to shift that thing at 7200 all the time. Engine now has over 100,000 on it. The trick with hypers is to run extra top gap, and mine are a lil loose in the holes. KB107s are 502 grams for my 360. You think a 273 revs fast? EDIT; {I...

    [WANTED] A230 V8 bellhousing

    and they use different BellHousings. and, the 360 will make mincemeat out of a non-A230 , in short order. Those were very low torque boxes. IIRC the A230 and the A833, shared the same BHs, at least in certain years, having the dual-pattern.

    Alternative tires for P185/80R13 90S

    Here is a formula that will spit out an approximate tire height for you; {(Metric branded width/25.4) X (aspect-ratio X 2)} plus tire diameter. Example 185/80R13 {(185/25.4) X (.80x2)} plus 13= {7.28 X 1.6} + 13= 11.65 + 13= 24.65* see below *Metric sizes are rounded up or down to the nearest...

    actual need for ballast resistor with electronic ignition?

    I have found that my Accell super coil, at WOT, will run on battery voltage just fine, a quarter mile atta time. I haven't tried it for any longer periods of time.

    Torsion bars

    1.03s/1.08s will NOT be too big. With adjustable HD shocks, you will be ready to tackle anything the streets and country-side can offer.

    Dont laugh at me!!! with my rookie tuning :(

    Well then, with this new information, I would have taken a guess that the cam is on it's way out; Except you didn't mention top-end noise..

    Dont laugh at me!!! with my rookie tuning :(

    As to your shaky engine, my guess is it's carb related

    Dont laugh at me!!! with my rookie tuning :(

    ONE MORE TIME: Where the rotor is pointing to, relative to the #1 cylinder, makes absolutely no difference, at the time that ANY one cylinder is at TDC/compression! What matters is which tower is above the rotor at TDC compression, of the chosen cylinder, and where that associated wire is...

    Quick... which way's better (225/273)

    Yes I know you have a 4speed for it, and I know the little 273 can be fun with a 4-speed. But. if you go the performance route that most guys go, yur probably better off with a higher stall/auto/and big gears. As for me, if I had to run a 273/Mopar4-speed, I would order up a Commando gearset...

    TKX 5 speed

    Butte MT is at 5538 ft above sealevel. Unless you are planning a BB, or supercharging, that's gunna seriously affect your engine's ability to make low-rpm torque. Which is gunna seriously affect your choice of ways of multiplying whatever torque the engine actually produces, to make it an...

    Quick... which way's better (225/273)

    Well there you go, a 4bbl, a higher stall, gears in or near the 4series, plus slapper-bars are your friends.

    318 appreciation thread

    For the street, which is a two-gear application, if I already had the 318, and if I didn't have something else; I sure wouldn't waste time and money looking for something else. Instead, I would just regear it, and stall it up some. This goes double if it is a high-compression unit. It's hard...

    Quick... which way's better (225/273)

    If you already have the 273, why is this even a question? But if you don't then, for me, the obvious choice is /are; 1) a hi-pressure, alloy-headed 360 with a very modest cam. Get the pressure up to say 190, run an A833od with 3.73s for 75=2540 with 27" tires. or 2) if you want to keep the...

    Can One Use Standard 4.04" 340 TRW Pistons in a 4.00" + .040" 360 Cylinder Block?

    A friend of mine did that about 25 years ago. He had a lathe....Worked out pretty good for him. You know how much room is in an X-head? answer, plenty. the factory 340 pistons weren't up anywhere near high enough to fulfill their potential. You can make a pretty good Quench chamber with those...

    Gear ration affect a/c compressor?

    (6000 x 85") / (1056 x 3.55) =136mph in top gear, at no slip. Then; (136/2.45) x .93slip= 52mph in first gear@6000 (136/1.45) x .93slip= 87 mph in second @ 6000 65 in Second will be ~ 4150. >85 is a 27" tire. Your tires are only 74.4, but I'll wager those 205s are gonna be toasted pretty quick...

    Is my cooling system operating normal?

    Just so you know, I run a Milodon HDHi-flo, 8-vane pump, with the anti-cavitation plate. (and yes with a hi-flo 195stat) and it is underdriven, cuz my engine, with a manual-trans, actually does spend a lotta time at higher rpms. I run the 7-blade high attack angle bent-tips all steel fan on a...

    904 question

    Yeah, great idea, the governor is right there.

    904 question

    Governor blew apart, it happens. A pressure test will prove it. Easy fix but a time-consuming PITA, the tail has to come off. Or TP valve actuator-lever has fallen down. Pressure test will prove it. as will removing the KD linkage-rod off the lever at the trans, and not finding the...

    Weird distributor spring or normal?

    That long-loop spring works great in my 11.1Scr alloy headed 367. Idles at 12>14* , jumping to 28* off-idle , then begins advancing again at 2800, going to 34*@3400. This allows the engine to run on 87E10 full-time, @207*F, without detonation. To that, >I added 22* of VA (sparkport); to run...

    Next dumb question is ; what's the best/easiest/cheapest way to lighten my 75 dart-Swinger by 15%, so that the 318 will perform like she be 15% bigger. It's a trick question; best /easiest/cheapest, as it applies in this context, should never be found in the same sentence. EDIT 15% is like over...

    They say I hate 318s so .......... install a 1.8 Jetta TDI-turbo and call it done, I hear those can go 500,000 miles. >but failing that, they also say you can bore a 318 out to 4.04; and stroke it to 4inches. Well; They say not all of them I got a 68 and a 69, one of them might work; call me...
