I'm out for a drive on the highway. While driving I begin to notice a hesitation at 65 mph. It feels to me like a failing fuel pump. I do a return trip and get the same hesitation. I then go out 2 hours later and it starts to sputter badly over 30 mph. Luckily I'm in the city and I begin to...

Follow up to my original post. It’s not the oil pressure sending unit. 318 engine. I replaced it, go for a drive and the area near it is dry. The shaft of the distributor is covered in oil. Anyone have an idea of what I’m dealing with?? Review; the intake gasket and seal are new. The...

Hey guys/gals I have oil on the back of the engine, 318 with Edelbrock intake. I have installed a new gasket and sealant on the intake manifold. I have installed a new gasket and ring seal on the distributor. But I still have oil there. Has anyone experienced a leaky oil pressure sending...

Guys, you're looking at the distributor hole. There is a chunk out of the edge, closest to the bolt hole. (There are no pieces in the engine, so don't reply about that) How would you fix this? Do I consider filling it somehow? I was thinking of filling it with silcone and let it dry before...

My 318 occasionally will not start. I don't even get a click when I turn the key which I thought I might get if it were a starter problem. Instead it is silent, there is power as gauges move and lights come on with the turn of the key. The frustrating part is that it has happens once every 5...

I have a leak that spits out oil at high rpm and then the fan blows it over the passenger side of the engine. I cannot figure it out. I have replaced the gaskets and resealed the Edelbrock intake. I have resealed the valve covers. And here is the real head scratcher I can get a small pool of...

I need some advice. Last summer I put a 318/360 Edelbrock Performer with a 600 cfm Holley and headers on my 318 engine. It is a little sluggish and I am pretty sure that is because I did not change the camshaft. The engine was bored over .030 as a stock rebuild by the previous owner with no...
