Got an interesting one for you guys today, completely stumped the edelbrock carb techs. So put a 1405 eddy on my 318 yesterday and was tuning it and noticed occasionally it would make a sound such as if you were sucking the last little bit of drink using a straw. Happened maybe every minute or...

Making the transition to VR1 in my 318 and need some opinions here. Engine is moderately modified, all top end. Currently with 5w50 gets ~50 psi at start up/25 at idle when hot. Generally a cozy 90-100* outside, engine runs at 180-195 and probably would be driving about 70 miles a week with some...

Hey Guys! So read something the other day that I'd never heard before and wanted to see if anyone here had any insight about it. Essentially it was saying that the greater the difference between the oil's hot and cold weights, the more quickly it would break down and the more likely it was to...

Hey guys! Does anybody know of any company or person that fabricates brackets for a 318 to 360 swap? Or some diagrams that I can build my own off of? Also, on a side note just out of interest, what's the most you can safely bore a 318? Heard you risk hitting jackets beyond 4.0 bores

Heya guys! Got a list of questions I'm looking for some input on. 1. Iv been looking at buying a Carolina machine engines 360 complete block. Hot rod magazine had good things to say about them but does anyone have any first hand experience? 2. Any opinions about installing an air/oil...

Hey guys! Happy Easter! Anyways, so at idle, I am getting slight amounts of white smoke coming out the exhaust and if you go WOT it flows out a small cloud at around 3500-4000 rpm. I know my car runs a little rich and that black smoke is running way to rich. It is even amounts out of each pipe...

Currently I am running shell rotella in my 318 with it's flat tappet. Got several suggestions for valvoline vr-1. Anyone got an opinion on what oil and weight?

So I had been driving around all day with zero issues. On the way back home, started hearing a ticking noise when at idle at a stop light, but whenever I put it in neutral or go on the gas, it basically goes away (you can hear very slightly and its less repetitive). It sounds as if it is coming...

Hey guys, got a 73 swinger with a 318 with a weiand stealth, 600 edelbrock, comp XE256H, 2.25 in exhaust from the manifolds back and timed 10* BTDC. This summer I am looking to swap out my heads for edelbrock performer rpm heads and maybe switch my weiand for a performer rpm manifold. Anyone...

Hello, does anybody know off the top of their head if the intake manifold bolts for a 318 go through any oil jackets or valleys? Should they have thread sealer?

Hey, I have an edelbrock 1406 carb and I was curious if anyone knows how to check if the secondaries are opening properly? Also, between the distributor and timed port on the carb, there is this little black box that the vacuum connects to. Does anybody know what this is? what happens if I...

I put on the my new high raise manifold so now the old kick down and throttle links sit too low to connect. I also no longer has a place to mount the coil on the manifold now. Any suggestions? Thanks

Another question for all of you. Anyone have any tips for tightening the harmonic balancer backup with it spinning or a way to keep it from spinning?

Hey, I am putting on my new intake and I am curious what order I tightened the bolts down it? I already know the torque specs

This might sound like a stupid question put before I start putting a lot of torque on it, is the bolt holding the harmonic balancer right handed or left handed bolt? Also, does anyone have any suggestions for removal? The engine is a 1973 318

Everyone on here has been a great help on getting my car up to spec and I am coming to my big final question! I am changing the camshaft on my 1973 Dart swinger and would love any detailed instructions, tips, pictures, anything on changing the camshaft. My dad is helping me but it has been 33...

Putting a 600 cfm Edelbrock carb, XE256H Comp camshaft on a '73 318 engine. Which intake manifold is gonna work better, an Edelbrock Performer or a Weiand Stealth? Going for drag race kinda power

I have '73 dart with a 318 and I was recently suggested to use a Edelbrock 600cfm carb, performer intake and performer rpm cam. It is a street car that I am looking to find maximum performance without taking too much from drive-ability. If anyone has any advice on what would give me this the...
