    Anybody to help with vinyl top install

    I am located about 40 minutes North-West of the GTA. The guy who painted my 71 Swinger is not really willing to try the install again and there seems to be a lack of anyone willing in the area. Not even the auto glass shops will touch it... I need to move the car from where it sits ASAP but it...

    Oil in coolant, engine sputtering

    Just recently I replaced the stock 2bbl top end of my 318 with a 4bbl eddy intake and 525 vac secondary demon carb and replaced the camshaft. I am having a helluva time getting the car to run right anywhere in the rpm range even after messing with the timing from 0 up to 8 degress advance...

    Domed pistons and Closed chamber heads

    I am shortly going to start building my engine. I am keeping it a 318 and that has apparently limited my poston choice to KB167 Flat-top and KB399 Domed. I will be running my 302 casting heads with the closed chambers.... Will the 399 work with this setup or does a domed piston need an open...

    A/C fire wall plugs/caps

    I want to take the AC parts off my car for this summer for some work around the engine. Has anyone done this with the intent to reinstall, if so, what did you use to cap the lines at the firewall and what did you use to plug the condensor lines if you didn't remove it completely? My car is a 71...

    '302' Combustion chamber volume?

    After a while of dreaming of a 318/390 stroker with alum. heads and all that good stuff I am realizing that I will either build a monster engine and live at home for years longer or use the 302 heads I have lying around and build a budget engine but still push 400hp. So, I am looking at building...

    Anyone used these headers?

    Im looking for an easier way to have headers on a mild engine and happened across these 'tight tubes' Hedman says they fit, I am wondering if anyone can vouch for that... If they work they will go into a '71 Dart, 318-904 column shifted. http://www.jegs.com/i/Hedman/500/78500/10002/-1 Hedman...

    Ballast resistor???

    What exactly does it do? I changed from points a Pertronix kit and was told I didn't need the resistor, and Ive been told the opposite. If not needing it is true how would I go about rewiring, anyone with experience would be helpful.

    1st Project

    Hello, I bought my first Mopar last August and am just about to start to seriously plan on what I want to do to it. I want to keep it a 318, I already have a donor engine that I can work on and still drive the car. I have read some articles on 400+hp 318s. I am thinking of replacing everything...

    Timing for a 318
