right beside the freeze plug I think a 65 273 should have a bolt in the timing cover. 318 no bolt. bolt hole in gasket none in cover or block.

1972 and older.

don't down play your stock 920 heads. I have a pair on a 318 that have produced 345 hp on a 318.

None: external look for 360 balance weights, and small diameter, everyone I've tried like that were high stall.

Stock 360 convertor from 71-73 Fury, small 10 1/4 had 2500 stall. I have one in my Dart.

Look down in the carb and move the linkage to full throttle, gas should be seen coming from the accelerator pump nozzles. If not try pouring 1/2 oz of gas down the carb and try to start. Check spark from coil by removing coil wire from dist cap and placing wire about 1/2" from ground a crank...

1979 cordoba factory 318 four barrel orange box better valve springs good tune up on thermoquad == 17.80 @ 84 mph. Removed a/c pump and brackets. 4.56 gears, cheep headman headers. early non lockup 904 with 2800 stall.==15.40's @ 90+ mph. 3905 lbs with driver. Apples to Oranges? Remember...

Guess I should have asked, did you remove the dist?

Pay the bucks for professional assembly. One small mistake costs all your money.

Have you moved the distributer?

I ran the same engine trans combination in my 72 dart ten years ago. Completely stock as removed from a Polara. With 4.10 gears and a 28" slick it ran 13.90's @ about 100mph. Changed to a Holley 500 two barrel, went 13.60,s @ 102. Most consistent combination I ever ran. "X" or "J" heads are...

Just checked a 67 "C" body servivor, it is different than the pictures. Driver side has one plug wire holder on flat part at the rear, other three wires are routed under the exhaust manifold. passenger side has a bracket above the rear two plugs that holds the plug wires about two inches away...

According to my book (Motor's Manual) New Yorker = 413. Newport = 361. 300 (non letter) = 383. 300 letter = 413.

Odds are it was the one that bolted on with the bottom two bolts of the water pump. If you plan to use an after market vibration damper, you would need a later timing chain cover and a water pump with the inlet hose on the right side. If you are restoring then you need the bolt on pointer or...

different neck on some 67's and all earlier models. Spline count on 727's only.

WARNING 273 converters have a smaller neck that engages the crank!!!

My book says: Stall 1950-2150 rear gear ratio 2.93 or 3.23. My opinion: Small cubes + adequate engine building = good gas milage and better than normal performance. Ask the leaning engine fellers.

The slot in the oil pump drive should point at the left front intake manifold bolt when the engine is at tdc for #1or #6 cylinder. Dosen't have to but should.

Dig thru your left over parts and find a rod 8.25" long with a six sided shape on one end and a gear on the other. Drop it into the hole that the distributor goes in, (GEAR END UP). Ad distributor and go.

Stock 360, 73 130k on engine, removed from demo-derby car. Changed timing gear & chain. Installed a holley 500 two barrel on a weiand single plane manifold. 13.58 @ 99.8 mph. Won't wind past 4900.

I have ran several different 318 combinations from stock as the factory delivered, to a forged piston/forged crank motor. The stock motor in a 1979 Cordoba ran real consistant 15.40's @ 86 mph. The built motor in a 72 dart ran 11.81 @ 114 mph. A stock bottom end with a 236 @ 50 solid cam and...

318/360 are LA small block engines with a lot of interchangable parts. 383 is a B motor big block. almost nothing swaps over from the LA/sb.

The alt should line up with the water pump pulley. Four grooves on crank were 1 p/s 1 air pump 2 ac/ alt. in that order p/s next to block. Non ac cars had one belt for the water pump and alt, one belt for p/s.

1962 & up rear flange is same. Piston con rod and wrist pin assembly weigh the same. Early cranks had eight bolt flange.

Bend over and brace yourself. I use them in my LA engines.

I find the only way to accurately select rockers is with a dial indicator and light springs on the valves. I just checked a mocked up 318 stock valve train that only produced .358" lift at the valve.

Looks like all the lefts are on one shaft all the rights on the other. Not the first time for this mistake.

A light right foot will do the most.

The ports on 318 heads have very inconsistent castings from port to port on the same head. I scrapped two dozen heads for this reason. I finely found apair off a truck that look decent as cast. The 318 aftermarket manifolds do have aport mismatch on 318 heads. The 273 heads are the best bet...
