I have to say its one hell of job to get this thing really roaring. We cant get more than 31 degrees of total timing no matter what, and it seems that the engine would like 35ish fore most HP. No matter what we do, theres always missfires above 5000.

What Spark plugs you have? Do you use resistor type plugs as Edelbrock recommends?

No, no pinging. It just doesnt fire properly, like a turbocar with bad sparkplugs, you know.

What kind of plug gaps you guys have? My motor hits a wall if I have more than 30,25 of total timing, wonder if I have too big gap.

Im looking for an easy(cheap) manual transmission swap for my - 71 Duster. Could a 2000 RAM 5 speed transmission hold behind an 350hp 318??

Too much dynamic compression means too much cylinder pressure, too much pressure means pinging. I think around 8 would be max for Iron heads. This is what I have now Hughes Engines ....And this is what Hughes suggested Hughes Engines But, I have to say that the EFI works amazingly!

My friend has a dyno, so we decided to spend a few hours to find out whats happening. And seems that I need a bigger cam, engine can take only 30.25 initial timing. And I think thats because of my 8.3 dynamic compression. But, it pulls strong to 6000 and Hp is rising all the way, torque curve is...

Yes, new (rebuild) engine.

Has anyone had any backfire problems? Mine starts to backfire and hesitate when the throttle is over 20% open, and I cant step it WOT at all. Other than that, It works like a charm in idle and runs great with just a touch on the gas pedal.

They say the kit is for 318-360 but I dont know how the big intake ports would work with the small 318 heads.

Referring to my latest post, the new regulator was indeed broken, JUNK!

Yes, seems like it would be a good time NOT to spent all the money in the car, but I have done it allready, and now its mostly work that this one needs.

No they were actually brand new, but I soaked them so bad trying to get it running that they didnt fire anymore. I also noticed that I have 35lb/hr injectors but the setup wizard didnt give that option because I gave engine size 318, I had to change it to 340 to get to choose the correct...

Allright! User error, it works after changing spark plugs. Now Ill just have to be paitent and get it on the road for more adjustments.

Long story short: Engine had total rebuild and the video above was from the setup wizard warm up. Yesterday I tried to warm it up so I could change the oil and check that everything is good, leaks etc. I had massive trouble getting it to start at all, I had to add crank fuel 7% to get it...

Yes the AFR was 10 and that means its not doing anything. Target idle afr is 13.9 and its running far from that, 11-12.5 and thats soaking the engine in gas. How fast should it adjust?

Hi, im having too high voltage when I get over 2000rpm. At idle it charges 14.3 and when I put up to 2000 it charges 17 to 18 volts. Regulator is bolted to the fender and I made an extra ground wire also. Regulator is new from rock auto, could it be broken otb?

Update: it does measure but it runs so rich that gas is flowing from the pipes and I cant get it leaner.

Anyone had this: Afr says 10 all the time, so basically it means that the sensor doesnt read. Did I soak it at some point? Is it ruined for good?

Key West, just about to go on a Jetski ride :thumbsup:

Im now in the keys, heading to orlando by tomorrow.

Hi, Im on a vacation in florida this week. Is there anything going on, places to visit now? Heading back to finland next sunday. And, where could i buy MoPar wear, shirts etc. from. florida??

Cam: Hughes Engines not sure about the vacuum, ill check next time.

Got mine running at last.

Great sound, cant wait to get on the road.

I just got it warmed up the first time last tuesday, fresh engine and all. Follow my "how big can a 5.2 get" thread for further information.

Good to know if the fel pro doesnt seal. I couldnt find the remflexs here, Ill have to buy a pair when I visit states in a couple weeks.

Pro Flo 4 on a 5.2 magnum with EQ heads.

I bought Fel Pro 1432 gaskets, smaller holes and much more material under the port, should do it.

With EQ head and TTI header?
