Might sound stupid but along with the direction of rotation, are the blades configured (if reversible) for the desired direction? About 20years back a mate had a few years of a Ford overheating that no radiator shop could find. he loaned the car to me while the Val was off the road. long story...

The oil filter was relocated on the RHD models as the steering box was relocated from the crossmember to the "chasis" rail - there being reduced space with the RH offset of the engine. It's a pain but..... since CAL didn't see fit (or get the OK to change the design) and centralise the engines...

As pointed out later in this thread. Not all gallons are gallons! younger Aussies are easily lost on Imperial measurements and even fewer realise the measuring system in the USA is actually pre Imperial. But I must admit I got a better heads up than most with 20 years in aviation, where you have...

Come to think of it doesn't Edelbrock do a MPI kit for the smallblock Chrysler? I considered it about 18 months ago when comparing a Holley TBI / rebuild a Quadrajet (Thermoquads are rare here - even rarer in good condition). If I had the money (IIRC $3k ) I would have done it myself. (or is...

If you do go with the carby I can say I'm having a very good run with a Edelbrock AVS2 on a 318. It's leaned a little more than the spec sheets but still performing as well as could be expected in a low comp engine with a little over 310 000 miles since last overhaul and getting an average of...

Hi Everyone, Ive got a almost stock 318 except for the MP260 cam (yeah overcooked!) and a Chrysler CI dual plane (TQ patten) manifold, which has worked well with a Carter AFB (pre Edelbrock)with an adaptor . It's started playing up (can't hold an idle speed and now won't idle - seen a few...

. First time I've tried to do this, hope it works!

which one (if either) is better for bottom end torque?

Welcome. Your car reminds me of a Dart 4 door (still LHD and possibly the only one in Aust) a mate owned for a while.

Hi, re-tuning my 318 after a manifold swap and fixing a vac leak. Can anyone tell me why the difference in these Carter AFB (pre Eddy) primary venturies? (came off different carbys but both are P/N 9635SA. Cheers. (sorry about the poor focus - the price of a camera that thinks it's smarter than...

Didn't watch that one. You Airforce (or ex AF?) as a kid I can remember the (leased) F4s until we got the 111s - which I ended working on years later. Cheers

I'm ambidexterous, I can drive from either side!

Not at the moment. It was removed in the early 90s when I went straight LPG (Impco 425 mixer and I converted to at MP dizzy and orange box.). I changed back to petrol due LPG is getting harder to get. Over Easter a dual plan 4BBL CI Chrysler spreadbore manifold was fitted, running an AFB but...

I like you're quote. try watching a 5/16 bolt fall through the oil gallery of a cylinder head. No joke it happened to me on Monday. Careful use of a magnet saved me an engine teardown.

318 / 727. About to go do something I don't want to do (pull it apart) but need to do unless I'm going to live with an annoying manifold vac leak. (and since I can't go use it for intended purpose ATM what better time than now).

Cheers, I've had her since late 91. I've been a Chrysler enthusiast since about '82 when Dad bought his first Valiant. Semper Fi - marine. I gave a few marines a lift up to the SGTs mess during Crocodile 99 in this car! (I'm ex RAAF)

Hi there, I've visited this site a bit over the last coupe of years but decided to join. I've included a pic of my daily drive. A '79 Regal. Cheers!
