'68 318 to carbed Magnum 5.2: Check my checklist
A few proper daytime shots of the build:
I took a hammer to the 318's original return spring bracket and reshaped it into something usable on the straight-up Magnum mounting boss:
The MP conversion throttle bracket has been installed, seeing that the pivot pin should be a bolt-in:
Mopar ECU wiring harness...
...meets HEI, the way I like it: Half-invisible.
The ballast resistor was cored out and a piece of wire soldered in its place:
Reinstalled - and clocked properly, as the PO had pointed the leads straight down, interfering with the heater control valve. Not anymore.
In preparation for the cooling system flush, I performed some athletic sanding of the mating surface on the problematic thermostat housing/water outlet. No longer a problem:
