    Looking to replace my 273 with a 318, which one?

    for the 360 swap you will need 360 tq converter and harmonic balancer and drivers side motor mount bracket. Everything else will interchange.

    exhaust questions

    I did a little research on this and with 3 inch pipes to the mufflers and (get this) 2 1/4!! tail pipes there was no loss of power. This was on a 455 pontiac this was confirmed by comparing 1/4 miles times and trap speed. Mufflers and crossovers had about a 2 mph difference between best and...

    carb choice and slick size

    Not familiar with 1/8 mile times, I would think that combo should get you in the 12's 1/4 mile. My nephew had a similar combo in a challenger and he ran 12.5's. (he now runs 10's after extensive engine mods.)

    Bogged down While In Gear And Sputtered During Acceleration

    you should be able to use your original cable and kd linkage with an adapter from holley. I have one that I am not using that you can have if you want to pay shipping. Shouldn't be more than a buck or two. Pm me if you want it.

    pipe popping

    I had the same issue on a 73 charger that i owned years ago...it turned out to be header gasket leak. Try a pair of Remflex gaskets, they are reusable and won't stick or burn out.

    zero deck pistons?

    This is so true...thanks for mentioning. I totally blew this off in my previous post.:coffee2:

    zero deck pistons?

    A dial indicator is the best way to both measure your deck and to find true tdc. you cannot go off the balancer timing marks. Just 2 degrees can throw off you deck height measurement. If you don't have a dial indicator use a straight edge and feeler guage at the highest point of your piston. To...

    My First Resto-Mod (Guidance Appreciated)

    This is all good advise. One thing I would do though is use polyester primer....very easy to work with and will hide minor flaws in sheet metal. jmho

    after market steering wheels

    BTW. this mod does not require a steering puller or any special tools... 3 bolts from your wheel, mount adapter, plug in horn wire, five bolt through new wheel, hook up horn wire to wheel, snap in horn button and your done.

    after market steering wheels

    Just curious how many of you have tried to fit after market steering wheels on your mopars. I built an adapter today that allowed me to mount a Grant signature wheel in place of my stock wheel. It sets the wheel back 1/2 inch. The stock turn signal canceling and horn functions are still intact...

    318 Retards Under Load?

    Sounds like your float may need adjusting. Or needle not opening all the way.

    Damn...can I just BUY a better transmission for the money than having mine built?

    The thing that I would like to see in the trans from summit is a hardened sprag. I would call their tech line and ask if it has one. If so go for it. If not go local.

    secondaries wont open

    See what color diaphragm spring you have. If it is plain or colored black try switching to the yellow spring.

    Drivers door wont open inside or out!

    When you said you had someone operate the linkage did you mean the rod that runs from the latch? If so...the plastic retainers that hold the linkage to the latch mechanism could be worn or gone. Reach in and get a hold on the release lever right at the latch.

    Loud beeping sound under hood

    sounds like a bearing harmonic. Could be alt bearing or waterpump bearing. Whoops...didn't read the second page of posts before I posted this.

    High volts

    years ago I had a ign coil short to ground. It caused the alt to charge like a sumbich. Just something to check if you have a spare coil. Btw the car ran fine.

    Harmonic balancer

    balancer is the same. If I remember right the fluidampr used the stock bolt.

    radiator transmission lines help

    I just use braided stainless hose.

    rear end advice

    I wouldn't think the entire housing is bent. Probably just the flanges...if you have a circle track car builder in your area he should have a tool to square up the flange ends. ( after he cuts about a quarter inch off each end of your housing.)

    cam identification help?

    those numbers won't help with cam ID. part number should start with 4. If you can't find part number measure with a caliper across round part of cam lobe, then measure across cam lobe itself. Subtract the first measurement from the second then multiply by 1.5, this will get you your valve lift...

    Another 318 build, and questions. (LONG)

    I would go with the flat tops. Better flame propagation.

    Roller Rocker geometry questions

    I agree...ran into this problem with a set of dart heads with harland sharpe rollers. Machinist corrected the stem height and the geometry was correct through the entire valve cycle. (this was on a sb chevy)

    sluggish 727..

    sounds like the low/reverse band servo has a seal leaking

    whats your opinion

    I would go with the gear drive if you can afford it. Never have to worry about a jumped chain and therefore bent valves. You can get quiet gear drives too.

    Does smokin weed really make you this dumb?

    I didn't see anything wrong with the op's story...Have we become so politically correct that a funny story just isn't a funny story anymore? Sad.

    Hey guys, what distributor is this?

    Looks like it's from an Oldsmobuick! Probably off a DeltaLesabre model! :)

    Strange Starter Problem

    Loosen the top starter bolt. Take the bottom bolt all the way out. Swing the bottom toward the outside of the bell housing. See if there is another bolt hole farther out. I have run into this a time or two. Not sure what the other bolt hole is for. ( the one closest to the center of trans.)...
