No need to measure, your '78 LRE came with the '68 340 auto camshaft profile. The '79 LRE not. ☆☆☆☆☆

This posting by DeltaV goes along with the above findings of the '79 360 4 barrel engine. ☆☆☆☆☆

Here is a "Comment" on Dodge Talk about the '78 LRE having the '68 340 auto spec cam, but the '79 LRE did not, as Regular Jay stated above about his '79 LRE. I can see that happening with the stricter emissions regulations coming up in '79, with the addition of the catalytic converters and a...

Straight up on the stock cam. As far as the crappy starts, the mopar distributor HEI conversion works wonders. You have to run an E-Coil with straight 12 volts powering it, no ballast resistor. Hotter spark than the tower coils. Starts like it has fuel injection, along with using the newer...

Sure looks like a stock '76 360 piston with factory 645 pressed on rod. 1976 W200 360 2 bbl engine. ☆☆☆☆☆

Proof ^ is in the pudding, cam shop said it has the '68 340 auto cam specs. Thanks for posting up your experience. ☆☆☆☆☆

Can do the same "Lift" test with a hand held dial caliper. Simple, easy to read, and everybody owns one. ☆☆☆☆☆

Easy Enough Let's measure the valve lift at the valve tip on your '78 LRE 360 4 barrel. Want to start it up quick to pump up the lifters if it has been sitting, for accurate lift readings. Pull one valve cover, start by getting the #1 intake valve on the bottom of the cam base circle...

Yep, same automatic cam that they used in the 4 bbl. Trucks. ☆☆☆☆☆

Yeah, I even get things wrong juggling all these camshaft numbers around. The MoparWiki article stated their special 68 camshaft at .486 lift (not .286 as I had wrongfully stated) the .486 lift number is still wrong for the Little Red Express. More like .430/444 or .444/453 lift. Stock 340 cam...

Actually as far as I know personally, they used the stock 340 4 bbl. automatic cam in the Little Red Express Trucks. The same cam profile that was used in all the 360 4 barrel engines. lift: .430/.444 Duration: 268/276 _________ The 360 2 barrel engines used this profile in 1975 and up...

Was probably the '68 340 4spd cam. They stated in the above MoparWiki link.

Here is where the Air Pump lived on the '89 D100, 318 Truck with AC. ☆☆☆

Here is a good link with good information about the '78-'79 Little Red Express. https://moparwiki.com/index.php?title=1978-1979_Dodge_Lil_Red_Express Added cats in '79, they both had 484 lift 340 cams... thermoquad. Don't see any air pumps here on this '79. 10 - 4 ☆☆☆☆☆

Add the Relay to power your MSD ignition (as in post #66). Then wire your voltage regulator as pictured here below, the way the factory did it. ☆☆☆☆☆

See Post 66 ^ ☆☆☆☆☆

Here is how I isolated the newly built Mopar HEI ignition and E-coil for my '89 Truck. Keeping it separate from all of the old factory wiring. Green wire [bottom terminal] power out full 12 volts to HEI ignition. Knotted blue wire [top] is full 12 volts incoming, from battery. Black with...

Would be good to isolate your MSD wiring layout from the factory wiring. Like use a Relay to power full 12 volts "from the battery" (with fuse) triggered by factory switched ignition wire. Want to check the Alternator output volts and battery voltage with the engine running when you are...

Pictures are worth 1000 words. I see you are running a cast iron water pump. (driver's side lower hose exit) Just wondering if that old school water pump is flowing enough for your updated 340 engine to keep it cool? ☆☆☆☆☆

In line in '79.. (for gas) ☆☆☆☆☆

Wrong head gaskets blocking water flow???? By the way what compression ratio are you running? 10.5:1? More compression, more heat and hotter fire. Aged stock flowing radiator may not be up to task? ☆☆☆☆☆

Helps to get the air out of the block and heads with the 1/8" hole drilled in the thermostat. ☆☆☆☆☆

Want to get 4 full gallons of coolant into the block, heads and radiator. If less than that you have an air lock. ☆☆☆☆☆

Bands adjusted too tight. (not backed off proper turns after tightened to 72 in. lbs. Lockar cable not adjusted right to apply proper movement of pressure valve (kick down). Not running enough pressure adjustment, burned the bands out of it. ☆☆☆☆☆

Did Dual FX-Sound mufflers mid stream. Dual Resonators at the very rear. Not loud, but nice tone, with a 318. Always like to have the resonators in line like Ma Mopar did. ☆☆☆☆☆

I always find life is a lot more interesting when you are on a mission. Whatever it may be... Your last big mission was doing that aftermarket AC conversion on one of your vehicles. No easy task, and now you have successfully climbed that mountain. Time to throttle back, recharge and...

It works so nice, and simple. @318willrun showed me how to set these up 2 years ago. Have been a big fan ever since. I figured it out that you need to run the straight 12 volt powered E-Coil for the hotter spark instead of the tower coils, while I was doing the test runs on the engine run...

This is so simple > 1995 Ford F150, 2 spade E-Coil. Straight 12 volts to the coil, no ballast resistors. Coil runs cool to the touch. Quick starts, hot sparks, plugs burn clean. Running this now on the '89 318 4 barrel conversion setup. Starts like it has fuel injection on a cold...
