I wasn't able to get the ignition curve that I wanted with the bushings and springs supplied by MSD on my 8534 Pro Billet Distributor. I needed to get 25º initial timing, so the advance had to be limited to around 10º, and the biggest MSD bushing limits it to 18º. I found a bigger bushing on...

Could it be a problem to run a BG400 (400 gph) fuel pump on a street 318 with about 350 hp? This pump was a pretty good deal, so I got it. I also have one of those basic chrome Holley regulators. Would these parts work well toghether on the street?

Hi, Recently I swapped the heads of my 318. The old ones were stock 318 small chamber heads with some cleaning and light porting. The new ones are also 318 small chambers but fully ported with 1.94 and 1.60 valves. The specs on my car are: -Mopar solid .528 cam -Flat top pistons...

Well, I noticed when my engine gets hot (180-190º) and I step on the gas opening the secondaries quickly, the engine hesitates and then goes ok. It happens when I'm driving slowly and step on the gas to wot. When it's not fully warmed up it doesn't hesitate at all. The carb is a holley...

I'm thinking of replacing the MP 528 cam on my 318 with this one from Doug Herbert: RPM Range: 2500-6600 Advertised Duration: 285/290 Duration @ .050: 230/235 Lift: .480/.495 Lobe Center:106c Lash: .012-.012 The 528 is: RPM Range: 2800-7000 Advertised Duration: 284/284 Duration @ .050...

How can I do the banana grooves on my new rocker shafts? I'm running iron adjustable rockers. Thanks

Yesterday I took off the valve covers to check the lash and when I was unlocking the jam nuts 2 of the studs simply broke in 2 pieces. I bought these crane rockers in november and run them for a few hundred miles only. I adjusted the lash for 2 times. I e-mailed Crane but had no replies yet. I...

Ok, I need some advice on what to do with my heads. My engine is a 318 with cast pistons, mp 528 solid cam, rpm intake, headers and lightly ported stock 318 heads milled to 54cc. I have about 9.5/1 compression. My plan was to pay a well known guy to do a full porting on another set of 318...

I'm changing my rallyes from 14x5.5 and 15x7 to 15x6 and 15x8. I'm already using 255/60r15 tires on the rear and will keep them. On the front I'm thinking 195/65r15 but I'm not really sure... I like tall tires on the front, but not too wide. Any pictures are welcome. Thanks

Last week my engine was making a loud ticking sound. Today I removed the valve covers to check the valve lash and found a totally destroyed roller from a rocker arm... And one more with the roller going out of the rocker. I have them for about 2 years, they are made by CAT. I send them a...

Do these mufflers sound exactly like flowmasters? Or similar? They are about 35% cheaper than flowmasters 40 series here. Thanks

Anyone know how much vacuum at idle this cam is making on a 318 with 10/1 compression? I'm rebuilding my carb and I think the 6.5 power valve is not the right one. I think I will put the 4.5 or 3.5 to see how it goes.

I'm buying some parts for my new heads, they will be early 318 heads with 2.02" and 1.60" valves. I have a question... I already have the MP 284/.528" solid cam, the heads are slightly ported with stock valves. My springs are single with damper from Elgin. They are working well, since I rev...

I have a 318 with a MP 284/512 solid cam. It has a Performer RPM intake, Holley 650 double pumper, 9.8 compression and headers. The tires are 255/60r15. It's a street car, and I almost don't drive it on highways. As you may think I don't have lots of low end torque, and the engine starts to...

I'm thinking about what to do with my heads. I mean, what type of porting, valve sizes, polish or not... I'm thinking abour 1.88" / 1.60" valves but I'm not shure, it's the most common. Maybe a 3 angle valve job.. I don't know... :angry7: Engine specs: -318 bored 0.30 over -The heads are...

I have a Holley 4777 650 double pumper in my 318. I'm running a Mopar .528 solid cam, Performer RPM intake, headers and ported 318 heads. Compression ratio is 9.8/1. The distributor is stock with lighter springs and no vacuum advance, set at 13 initial. The gas we have here is actually 80%...

I'm planning to buy a Procomp Billet distributor, with mechanical advance: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/DODGE...Q5fAccessories The seller says it doesn't come with the mech. advance recurve kit, so I need an alternative kit that will fit this distributor. I found a couple, like the msd...

I have a stock distributor on my 318 and I bought a new set of advance springs to get all mechanical advance about 2500 rpm. I have the MP .528 cam if it matters. My initial timing with the stock springs is about 18 or 20. My question is: should I use the vaccum advance with the new springs...

Well, last week the Dart was ok, everything fine. When I was getting into the garage it started to stumble and died. Then I started it again and parked. Today I tried to start the car but nothing happened. If I pump the gas a couple of times it starts but doesn't idles and then dies. If I open...

We tested the compression of the cylinder #3 on my 318 and it showed 70 psi. The motor is fresh, it has about 350 miles yet, has a relatively big solid cam and the valve lash is not perfectly adjusted. Is it normal?

I finished my motor recently and i was wondering about a horsepower estimate. I've tried the dyno200 but i want something more realistic. Specs: -318 bored 0,30. -about 10.1 compression -ported stock heads, with 1.78-1.50 valves. -Mopar 4120653 solid camshaft - 284/284 - 241/[email protected] - .528...

Well, I must decide between an H pipe or X pipe for my exhaust. I really like the X pipe sound under acceleration. I'm worried about the idle, I really like that lopey idle sound. Will the X pipe sound "softer" at idle? thanks

Anibody running the purple shaft 280/280, 474 lift 4452992 cam? I was searching for some vids showing its idle or something. I'm bulding a 318 and I want to put this cam on it. thanks
