Yeah will grab a video etc soon as I can. Just had a spare few moment at work today thought id drop a message in ✌️

The motor is fairly old. Never had an issue though, plenty of power still. Did 40 odd miles the other day before the sound came back with in the last 5 or so miles If this was piston related I would expect the noise to be there from cold? to which it is not? This noise is ONLY when warm. Also...

Hahaha! Good spot stupid phone

So a few months ago I posted about possible lifter tick. This noise hasn't rewlly gone anywhere all though it did quiten down with some additive but I haven't driven the car much. And what with it being summer I wanted to use the car still, but now the winter is here it's time to investigate...

Right guys little update. Had a proper look over and it would Power that at some stage in its life it's had a minor sink under the rad guard pulling this ever so slightly towards the rear of the car. In turning pulling everything else down. A little re bending if the (not sure of it's actual...

That's what I mean, but that is the bonnet fully closed and pinned down. (Twist lock type pins on my hood) Can't believe I've never noticed it before :realcrazy: Will get one later Yes, I think this is what accounts for it, need to take the front apart really. Cars been running sooooo well...

Will get one when I'm home. Might try taking the grill off soon see if it's bent also looked at some of the pics of when I first bought it and it is indeed sagging then. I Also found this pic does the panel the hood closes on look too low? Im wonder if it's from another car? And this making...

Purely an illusion that due to lighting haha Hood is pretty spot on:lol:

Maybe?! Gonna look at my old pics see if it's something recent or if I have literally just never noticed it in the 12 years I've owned it. Worth noting it's a proper 70 and not a 75 etc with a grill swap So unsure what's gone on

Can't believe I never noticed this before. But anyone have any idea why my grill seems to sag so much? Can't see any damage, and the slam panel looks straight. Just wondering what else might be causing it?

Morning peeps Can anyone point me in the direction of where to get the 4 inch grommets to go in the holes for the fresh air scoops? Mine are just that, holes, would like to tidy it up a bit. Or has anyone used anything else that's worked? Thanks

Hey peeps! Following on from my lifter tick thread I'm gonna try some additive to help. Just wondering if anyone have any recommendations what one to use? Or what to avoid? (Seafoam was mentioned but impossible to find here in the UK) Hydrolic flat tappet type.

Hooker headers on mine, but will go over this again just to make sure! I did wonder this? Haha is it a brand name or something or a typo?

That's the plan but I was hoping for next year, so for the time being would be nice to quiet then down. Will get valve covers off later too and see if everything is stil tight under there. Oil pressure is exact as picture says regardless of how it's driven. Don't think predet, initial is at 13...

Only pic I have on phone at the moment. My 70 dart With my number one helper

Might not be relevant to you set up, but in mine my headers are practically wrapped around the original starter motor, if the motor has been idling for some time or slowly driven around town, I find it's harder to start as the starter motor is extremely hot. If I've been crusing and the air...

Any idea on ways to calm down lifters ticking? Seem to come and go, only really when engine is on light load and oil pressure is up. At idle is quietens down, if you stamp on the throttle and have a bit of fun when you go back to cruising it can be very loud (peas in a can type loud) Then all...

Low end to mid range is what I'm after in a street car. I want that gut kick in the back more then I want a screaming 0-100mph car. The thought of smashing my way through gears to 90mph in London with 1970 brakes makes me feel uneasy:lol:

Was also thinking 273 heads for the same closed chambers and generous ports. Might be a little easier to find here as well. Will keep an eye out for one of those lunati cams. Also heard good things about Hughes whiplash

Yeah I did think this was on the large side for my application. But things like this don't often pop up UK side and this price so thought it was worth asking before I got to excited and bought it and did all the work. The rear is in my 8.75 is 3.55 which is about as far as I want to go for...

Hey peeps! Anyone ever run one of these? On their 318? Been offered one of these COMP Cams 20-225-4 COMP Cams Xtreme Energy Camshafts | Summit Racing Hopefully should wake it up a bit as it's the heads and cam that let it down now. 1970 318 V8 stock bottom end Eddie performer intake Eddie...

Anyone able to tell me what the 1970 dodge dart ball joint socket size is? For the screw in type upper ball joint Thanks

End play was way out Once the wheels bolts where torqued up I think that pulled the shaft even further? Either way, sorted it all back together! still gonna keep the timkin bearings for now as they looked in good shape no scoring or anything, so need to replace just yet, will go updated green...

Thanks for all the replies peeps! Got plenty to checkout Haven't had a chance to check yet! It's been horrible and cold over here! And the car isn't coming out the garage anytime soon Soon as I discover whats what I'll let you know

Yeah comes in handy haha! he's very well known UK wide. I'm still gonna think this is worn bearing related, as I'm not sure on the history of them. will have a proper look tomorrow, just wanted to go armed up with as much info as to what to look for as possible Tempted to just wack green...

Nah, exhaust are side exits right before the rear wheels

Thanks for replies How will I go about finding what tolerance it's at as I don't have a gauge to measure it with, is there a tried and tested methods otherwise? There should be only very slight movement in and out with the shaft in place? None at all it needs backing off, load and loads it...

Afternoon peeps! Just came back from a little trip in the dart and noticed that passenger side rear axel shaft was ROASTING hot. The drum was cool so ruled out a brake binding issue Driver side was cool as a cucumber, passenger side super hot. Couldn't even touch it. Only thing I've done...

So nothing that different then really? Didn't wanna waste time getting it all Dyno tuned up and etc if it was wildly unsuitable! Thanks

Evening peeps. Recently been given a edelbrok 1825 650 thunder 4bbl carb, planning on running it on my '70 318 dart along with a performer intake. To replace the old carter carb job and standard intake that's on there now. Was doing some research about it and keep seeing that it's an 'off...
