Thanks for the continuing follow up posts! I plan to look over my kickdown linkage as I am not getting a downshift at cruising speed. One question I do have for you though is this: Lastly, the kickdown MUST have a return spring on it. Not just on the carburetor, but also on the kickdown...

You should not have to drop the tank to r&r the sending unit. C

That is a great write up, and I have bookmarked to be able to refer to it in the future. Have you considered a new insurance co.? C

I was looking over my old Motors Manuals yesterday and while looking the specs of the 318 I noted that for 1970 and prior years the cylinder compression was 140 psi and compression ratio was either 9.2 or 8.8. Beginning in 1971 the compression ratio dropped to 8.6 and compression was listed at...

Rock Auto has them new for $8.50 each. I just looked up '74 Dart with 318. C

Just looking at a pic, there are probably many that look very similar. They are not that expensive to buy new. But, here are the pics for you. C

What type of K frame do you have? From your description it sounds like you have spools and biscuits mixed up... A '71 would have had biscuit mounts unless it has been changed along the way. C

That's a great "how-to" Karl, C

I got a good set of deep brass one's at a machine shop. A little smaller than my personal big brass ones - just saying'... C

If you haven't tore it down yet, you could remove the fan belt(s) that drive the water pump. I wouldn't run it long but you could determine right off if that is where the whine is coming from. C

Looks like you need a correct WP pulley and new belts. C

I use a crow foot socket with a long 3/8" extension. I started using this after the socket-flex joint-extension shorted across the coil also! C

Maybe your PCV? Mine is pretty noisy at idle. C

You have a good machine shop in your back yard! Talk with Steve at Reeves Performance on Green St., Warner Robins. Also, shoot RustyRatRod a PM - he is just up the road from you in Jones Co. C

I would give it until the carb rebuild or replacement and see what happens then. Any way you could post up a sound clip of it? C

I had to work yesterday :wack: and had to drive a couple hours away for the job. Coming home I got caught in some rain, not particularly heavy, but enough to puddle in the road. It was the first time in the rain in the new company car, a 2012 Malibu. It was all over the road! I have never...

3404speed, thanks for that info! I am going to check this out on my motor just for learning. C

If the car is sitting in park will it rev ok, or will it bog down a little even in park? What does your tail pipe look like? Dark soot? If you are in park and rev it several times do you have a patch of soot on the ground? C

How long have you had the car, and how long have you had the issue? I just made a fan shroud and it helped a whole lot... C

You will be fine using them. C

Looks like you have identified the parts alright. Did they all come off the same engine? If so, they should work. If it is a mixed set acquired here and there, you might want to install them first to see if they line up correctly. C

Here is mine. Can't say what is in it, other than a little cam. It sure is fun though. C

How low is low? My ps pump sits almost on the K frame. It has stock brackets from an '88 318. C

Well, my '99 V-6 Dakota has 150,000 miles now and my son's has 200,000. No noise that I can hear from the timing chains. As far as "beating it to death", since the pressure is constant to keep the chain tight, I don't think there is any "beating" being done. I did put one on my 318 in the...

And, we are not talking only one head, but both... C

SirDan, maybe it is just me; but I read both your posts and never did see your question in there... C

Here is a pic of mine. C

Is the alternator the only thing hanging in this system? No a/c or p/s? C

I had a problem with valve covers leaking also. Got a set of Moroso gaskets & problem solved. At least I think it was Moroso... http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MOR-93050/?rtype=10 Good luck with it. C
