Just wanted to update anyone who's interested. I went ahead and bought a Melling version of the 360 2bbl. cam and a set of their lifters and installed it. I got it all back together and running. It idles smooth with about 18.5" of vacuum. BTW, I received one defective lifter in the set of 16...

Yes, I'm sure. I already pulled the valve cover and looked down the pushrod holes. It does have the tall lifter boss but has the short lifters in the holes.

Well, I'm late to this conversation, but have spent the last two days reading through all of it. My question is: what does everyone think of the stock 360 2bbl cam in a 318? I didn't see anyone mention it on here. It has a little more duration and lift than the stock 318 cam. The overlap is...

I didn't look on the summit website, I looked on lunati's website and catalog. They show a 285/305 street/strip cam with .465 lift. Summit has a typo in their catalog. That cam is probably pretty close to what I have though. I'm guessing I have an older version of that cam, possibly from...

Sounds like you have an electrical issue to go with your carb issue. Clean and tighten all your battery cable connections. Make sure the starter relay is tight(it grounds through the mounting screws). Check your bulkhead wiring harness for melted connectors. Then check your ammeter in the...

Here's a pic of a spare 1945 carb I have. You're missing all of the choke and fast idle parts. You would be best to find another core carburator and make one good one out of the two or just buy a remanned carb. You'll also need to get the correct choke control that bolts in your exhaust manifold.
