bla bla bla, just be proud you have a mopar and drive the hell out of it, nice and quiet motor till you kick it, etc. it will last a lot longer with the hyd cam, in my opinion. just enjoy the drive. if you were racing and had money to throw away, then build the heck out of it. otherwise...

thought about keeping quite, but just wanted to give my 1 1/2 cents. i don't know as much about mopars as i do GM's, as this is my first build of a mopar. with that being said, some things are the same: that cam has been rusty from sitting probably a few years, oil goes away and moisture loves...

my guess is the carb and intake. sounds like a sorry carb. Secondary seems to work, primary might have bad pump, missing parts/springs/ etc. also could be some vac lines/leaks around the intake (check with carb spray) then look at timming and dist. could have the timing chain off and can not...

You guys crack me up! Love this place!. (i am not alone in this world)

thanks to all that replied. Im not building a race car, more show and cruizer. I do like to hear the tires bark and cry from time to time. to answer some question: i have a elde carb, looks prob the 550-600 variety and a elde stock height intake. the headers are run into about 2 inch pipe...

have a numbers match 72 318 swinger. want to keep the motor with it so i need to know how to get a few more horses from that mouse in the cage that i have. i have a 4bbl, and intake on it. helped a little. will 340 heads fit on it and will they help?? other than a major rebuild to a motor...

good advice.you're getting. also next time at a swap meet, look at the guys with all the valve covers, they have a pvc(kind of big) that has its own baffel. it looks like the size of a spark plug socket. cost 20 bucks or less. :)

so does my little 318, factory 72 have one in it?

success. i moved the rod the other way and put a small amount of play in the rod. resulted in shifting better. it runs up to 35 and you have to let off for it to shift into high, but thats a major improvement . i think if i put a little more play in the rod linkage then it might be about right...

i had a welding shop add 1 1/4 inch to the rod and it now can adjust both ways so that problem is over. cost 10 bucks and well worth it.

ok, it looks like that with a slot. i have it adjusted with no gap on the firewall side of the slot, all the open side is to the front, in front of the bolt that attaches to the carb. further back at the piviot linkage where the kick down rod snaps on, i have the rod at the higest point...

ive been adjusting the linkage at the carb and the pivot that the down shift rod snaps onto. i have not been under the car to adjust anything down there. so is that why our terms are not matching? i wish i had a book! so i adjust the carb side linkage to have no play but also no strain...

ok . help me here. i know its simple, but only if you understand and i don't want to screw it up. if the linkage has play in it in the resting position, the trans will shift sooner. if i take the "play" out at resting position, it will whift later. so right now i have no play in the...

i confused again. not unusual lately. if the rod that goes down to the trans is pulled all the way up (normal position due to spring loaded) then as you moved the rod down toward the ground, this is what makes it shift, more toward the ground the sooner the shift. .....right? dont' give...

its elde carb. orginal 2bl. elde intake. the linkage cable is correct or long enough, the leavers on the carb lean toward the front of the car and has no holes that will allowe less distance between the carb and the piviot where the kick down rod attaches. when i lengthen out the rod, it is not...

ok, 72 dart 318 added 4bbl the trans shifts but runs too fast before shifting. the rod is adjusted as far as it can and it needs about 1 inch to put enough preasure on the rod to make it shift quicker. where do i find a a longer rod or any tricks you know of. there is not another hole anywhere...

ok, tks, don't feel so "duh" now. tks

if both were the same color, what is it that you can tell a 318 from a 340. . are the heads different, etc??:icon_smi:
