plugs replaced twice now and yes they are gas wet. Firirng order checked multiple times by myself and my father.... as a second set of eyes usually catches a simple brain fart...... Just seems odd that it happened sitting. The car ran fine.....sat for 6 months....start it up and dead miss. It...

Hey guys this pertains to my 72 Scamp. 84,*** original miles. Internally untouched since new. Car spends most of its time sitting in the garage. Suddenly it has developed a dead miss on cylinders 5 and 7. Plugs are wet and plugs are good. Have swapped in a second set of plugs, wires, cap...

Good information.... I had overlooked the fuel pump problem!!

Im in VA guys. Any help would be very much appreciated!

so I need to find an 85-92 318? Not all 318's in these years had 302 heads?

Ok so with the 318 dilemma .. I've gotten to thinking about putting this 360 magnum I have out of a 95 ram into the dart. What will I need? Will all the accessories and serpentine belt system fit in the car just the way it is on the front of the truck engine? I would be nice to use the more...

what years were the 302 heads? Dont i have to use roller style stuff on them?

wasnt there a company that was making new magnum style heads in the LA configuration? They were magnum heads but used the LA style intake bolt pattern and pushrods....??? Aerohead has 318 heads for 399 a pair. Why are the 340-360 heads 100 more when they have the same valves and chamber...

So after my bent pushrod, bent valve experience- the machine shop says that the old gas had caused the valves to stick.. bad enough that the pushrods folded when the piston hit the valves... Long story short the mahcine shop (napa) says 350-500 to redo the valves, seals, and that if I want to...

To be honest with you.... its got me questioning if its even the original 318 to the car... Where would I look on a 318 to find the #'s that would correspond to the car?

Engine is pulled down in the car to the block. The valves are definately bent. I wacked them with a hammer before I started to see if they were free... Well... some of them went down and never came back up... they are so bent the valve springs dont even have enough power to pull them back up...

I think tonite I'll pull the intake and see if I can cut out the pushrods. I have another low mile 318 ('77) that has a good top end and bad bottom end. I may just grab the pushrods and a couple rockers and see what happens without pulling the heads.

If the timing chain did break... and it did jam it up so bad that it bent the pushrods that bad... on both sides.... are the valves bent? I've never had a timing chain cut loose so I have never seen the damage on a small block mopar. Is this 99% chance of bent valves?

No I didnt hear it run.... its not even the fact that its messed up! Its just the fact that everytime I got to do something it turns out the worst possible way!! Not what I expected from a 1 owner 63000 mile car with the hubcaps still on it thats for sure!!! I can fix it.... but wouldnt...

So.... My 70 dart has 63000 original miles been sitting for a presumed 5-6 years previous owner says "yea it runs great, its just been sitting" so after 2 nights of frustration and checking.... still it wont run... OK- something is definately wrong I checked everything and Im not this...

nope... I've got the highly prized sucky manual drums... (I'd be willing to let them go for the right price!)

Ill probably just go with a carb, intake, 262 cam, exhaust and some 3.23's for now.

Yea... I know... I probably should just leave it alone for now. Too bad I cant run 13's and DD it on the cheap at the same time, but thats not gonna happen with a 80 mile per day commute!

pre...73? (guessing) 318's have a smaller rod than later years correct? Im just wondering how much abuse this bottom end can take and still live a relatively problem free life... 350 Hp? I dont know..... (assuming that its in good condition now as it sits)

With a 2500 stall (now considering) , shift kit, 391's, and a small amount of ..... spray... high 12's?? That is if I didnt scatter the bottom end of the little 318!

will the 262 be more fuel efficient since I am leaning towards ordering one soon?

Hey guys, Im trying to get the car started and its been sitting. I splashed a little gas in the carb, threw in a fresh battery and hit the key to see if it would at least run or fire for a couple secs on the gas. No GO! It seems to me like the started is not turning the engine over fast...

So the 268 will have less power than the 262 in my otherwise stock longblock and 904? I do plan on adding a shift kit, but dont plan on removing the trans or engine right now... so the stock converter will stay!

In layman's terms can someone explain to me the difference between the comp cams extreme energy 262 vs the 268? In terms of power band, idle, performance, etc.... (I have been recommended both by experts, but cant decide) Subject in question is 70 318 that will have a performer intake, 600...

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/DCC-4120231/ how much above a stock 340 piece is this cam? Too much for a 318? I know it sounds retarded, but I would like a noticeable lope... but dont want to sacrifice power for sound if you know what I mean. thanks for all your help!!! I really...

Your probably right, but I need to get the car on the road as soon as possible, so having it sitting in the shop for month until the 360 is up and running isnt an option.... at the same time the stock 2bbl has seen better days and a 4bbl replacement and intake is money well spent. Figured...

I dont mind a more radical cam, I just would like to get all I can from this 318 without popping the heads.... just to see what can be done to an otherwise stock engine. Im not pulling the engine out of the car or the heads as I have a 360 magnum from a truck that will eventually find its...

I dont mind upgrading the valve springs while Im in there since Im gonna have them off for valve seals anyways..... So if I buy a cam/lifter/spring pkg what am I looking at? I read some old posts on here where there was alot of talk about mopar perf. camshafts with springs.... How hard...

Well the cars been sitting for a long time, but I went out this weekend and put a good battery in it and dumped some gas down the carb to see if it would come to life a for a few seconds, but its DEAD! lol I didnt spend a whole lot of time fiddling with it because I was at home and it was cold...
