My 318 was rebuilt about four months ago. When should the oil and filter be changed? There is around 50 miles on it. Any special type of oil needed? Thanks

Had the motor and trans rebuilt recently. The distributor and wires are new. It is usually hard to start when cold now. I hold the starter for several seconds and nothing, then try it several more times and still nothing. Then, after a couple of minutes I will try again and it finally starts...

I got my car back from the shop a few days ago. The engine and trans were rebuilt. I decided to take a look at the oil level and see how clean it is. Nothing shows up on the dipstick! The car has been sitting since saturday so the oil should be reading everything. I added a quart of 10w40 and...

My engine and trans were rebuilt. I noticed a couple drips of oil at the back of the engine. The transmission also has a couple from the tail shaft and I believe the speedo cable on the side. I know the car is like 40 years old. Should I still expect no leaking at all?

Ok I'm slowly going through my 318 and checking things. Would it be good to do a compression check? Just want a better idea of the condition to see how long I can go before putting new parts or doing a complete rebuild. I've never checked the compression on anything, but here are the steps I...

Ok, I have two identical chokes and have tried both. The original one that came on the carb didn't work that well. With the original choke on the carb, when the car is cold, it will barely want to idle and sounds like it has a huge cam. I would need to start it then hold the gas to raise the...

Does anyone have experience with any of speed-o-motives stroker kits for the 318 or any other stroker setups? This is a 318 to 391 kit Specs: HI NODULAR 4.000" STROKER CRANKSHAFT - FORGED 5140 6.123" I-BEAM RODS w/ ARP WAVE-LOC BOLTS - FORGED FLAT-TOP OR DISH PISTONS - TOTAL SEAL MOLY RING SET...

The motor mounts aren't looking too good. I'm thinking about replacing them. Is it pretty simple or is it best to wait until I have the engine is rebuilt in the next couple of years? The transmission will be done first in the next couple of months.

I fixed the vacuum choke a couple weeks ago and now it idles fine when first started when cold. It used to idle very rough. The current problem is that the motor momentarily bogs down a little when giving it gas to accelerate. Then the rpms will kick back up and accelerates. During the first...

I have a 318 that is all original with the 2 barrel carb. When I first start it when it's cold, it barely wants to stay on and idles rough. I'm thinking its the carb choke but was trying to see what part it is. There are two things on the side of the carb. One is connected to a vacuum line...

Hey everyone, just joined. I recently got a '72 Scamp and want to check if the numbers match. I searched everywhere on the forum and have found a few possible locations. It has a 318 in it. For this year, would the VIN be on the passenger side of the engine near the oil pan? Thanks!
