I know it's not an A body but, does anyone on here know anything about Town Wagon's. I'm going to check one out this weekend. The owner doesn't know anything other than it has a 318 and runs great. I'm wondering what tranny and gears to expect? Are these things drivable on the freeway or are...

carbon tracking is an interesting idea. I'm gonna try your test and 67 dart 273's test in the AM. keep you posted

I've shelved the van project for now, although I do not believe it to be intake manifold alignment "Mguner". I'll get back to it when i Get the gremlins outa my dart. thanks

So in my 68 340 dart I had an electrical failure, car just shut off. I've changed ignition switch,voltage reg, ecu, and coil swapped with a working one. I know new doesn't always mean good but... I'm getting 12.5 v at the battery with the y off and 12.5 at the starter relay with the key off...

but i agree it shouldn't be this hard.

this is a different engine different car..

i know there's a lot of stuff going on under there at the moment. I'm gonna work on her all today and see if I can't get it straightened out. I type with two fingers and they're too big for the keyboard!

sorry for the typos my momma raised a whole bunch of dummies!

Hey everybody sorry to leave you hanging with no finale, but unfortunately as I progressed on this build and decided my holley 670 cfm that was originally on the engine wash;t cutting the mustard, I began swapping out my holley 500 cdm off my 340 dart (which is my daily driver) to work on the...

Ok thanks guys, these are both good advice. I feel like it has to be vacuum related too. I have the throttle screw just barely turned, quarter turn past being loose. and I have the idle mixture screws 2 1/2 turns out. After experimenting with them this seems to be the best setting so far...

So yes I mean that the spark rotor ends up pointing between #1 and #3 when I rotate the oil drive gear CCW. I will try that reluctor gap test tomorrow. Also yes I'm retarding the ignition timing (rotating the dist.) to bring the idle down. I don't hav a tach hooked up but I think that's my...

the rotor does line up with the tooth on the bottom of the dist. shaft. Good idea though.

And it is a proform ignition system. It's not stock mopar ignition or a mplar performance kit, it's the slightly less expensive after market model. brand new made for mopar...

I'm terrible at writing and thinking at the same time. I meant when i turn the oil gear CCW it ends up between 1 and 3 and I retard the timing by turning the dist. CW. towards the passenger side.

about the dist. wiring being out of phase, the wires coming out of the dist. have that factory connector on them that pugs into the wires coming out of the ignition control module. Are you saying that I should cut those and switch their orientation? I never heard of that but I'll try anything...
