318 rebuild/overhaul kit

1st Roger that on the gasket set working for pretty much the multi year setup I've got, thanks. It's got all new plugs, fuel filter, cap/rotor, little spring arm thingy under the cap, (never seen one of those before) I used a feeler gauge to set distance as I have no idea about dwell...whatevers...I'll be going HEI from another dodge in the future. The ignition timing is set properly for a '74 318.

2nd, I'll stop using spray to get it started, it's got a cable choke, its not really secured to its braket, and honestly I've got no idea how chokes work.

3rd, the valve cover gasket broke apart (cork) when I pulled the covers off to check casting numbers...plus the lifter area is covered in thick gunk, gonna tear down and clean it.

4th when I do the tear down, I'll check rod and main bearings and replace if needed.

5th, no idea how to rebuild a carb, so I'll learn me some stuff on the YouTube. (I recently sold a 93t MR2 to get this, I wanted a small muscle car as I was bored with the import thing)

Honestly I know a 318 is a great little starter motor, but I'm not keeping it in the long run. I'm wanting to do a 383/440 build eventually so I just want the engine clean, no leaks running smoothly for now and that way I have something to sell/trade with in the future. I'll keep people updated.
