    cam/converter selection

    If you are running a stock oil pan don't turn it over 5500 rpms or it will blow up the high bank tracks will kill a mopar engine quick because the oil pan sucks for this type of racing, windage tray is a must have also don't use a high volume oil pump .thats why you don't need a big cam because...

    cam/converter selection

    I never ran a cam with more then 274/274 or 228/230 @50/108lc had plenty of torque coming out of turn, and in drive /3 gear you will need a 4.56 gear on a 3/8 high bank track or maybe a 3.91 in second gear remember the race is to the flag not the end of the track, cam for torque not hp the carb...

    Feel like 360 should have more power

    It looks like the cam might be too big lowering your compression how does it feel at higher rpms does it pull strong? Also is your trans shifting too quick and not down shifting into lower gears?

    What to expect out of mild build 360

    I installed flat top pistons to raise my compression on a 360 /after getting everything together and installed they were .060 farther down the hole then stock dished ones ,they were 0.120 down. they were adv, to raise compression but they lied/so flat top pistons doesn't mean anything . but...

    318 Poly Vibration

    spray some water on the coil or watch it at night sometimes they crack between the tower and the neg side post causing intermittence idle problems.

    318 Poly Vibration

    if your going to pull a wire off you should bring the idle speed up to 1200 rpm and with a tach hooked up that cylinder should droop 50 rpm ,some times it hard to hear /feel and if one should smooth out the vibration there a problem with a intake valve on the shared runners

    318 Poly Vibration

    water looks normal in engine for cooler temps did you adjust the valves too tight? has it had many miles of reg. unleaded fuel thru it causing sinking exhaust valves? are the two cylinders not firing on the same intake runners (vacuum leak) intake valve not sealing tight from carbon build up on...

    part throttle bog/hessitation/backfire

    Why did you jet the carb down? the carb is set to run in cold also it must be rich for the heaver cold air, all carbs run rich in the summer unless you lean it ,it never was a perfect system the over fuel in the summer would break down the oil, wash the rings down this is why 100000 mile was...

    part throttle bog/hessitation/backfire

    you can vacuum test the power valve ,and run a small wire through the little jets inside the metering block for the fuel enrichment stage.(I use a cutting tip cleaner set or pin type drill bits)then blow out with air.

    part throttle bog/hessitation/backfire

    if you leaned the jets down, and drive it in cold weather it will likely pop through .and your right about the fuel,10% alcohol in my area will lean the carb out also, but like Moper said you likely took out the power valve unless it is protected.
