I rebuilt my carb yesterday, and when i put the vacuum gauge on it to tune the idle in. I noticed it jumped around quite a bit. I have never had a engine with anything but a factory cam in it so is that normal for a cammed engine or should it stay steady?

I am asking this mostly because I want to learn and progress my ability to properly tune and set up my engines. On my magnum 318 has a pro comp dual plain air gap intake, flowtech headers, and a 4160 vaccum seccondary 600 CFM holley. It has always been a little slugish from idle if I just...

I got a set of plugs for my 98 Durango 318 and a set for my 93 truck 318. I wasn't really paying attention to the fact the plugs were actually different I put the rc12yc's in the Durango. Will having the shorter nosed plug in the newer motor hurt ? I don't have emmisions where I live.

I know this is a stupid question but I honestly don't know and I want to do it the right way. How do I set the timing on my 318 with a bigger cam? Its a 318 Magnum with a 600 Holley and a drop in ready to run distributor. The distributor advance should be 24º CENTRIFUGAL AND 10-14º VAC, Cam...

I picked up a Mallory 685 for next to nothing yesterday, didn't come with instructions. Can anyone tell me how to wire this thing up? Also will it work with my pro comp distributor or will I have to put a stock or different aftermarket distributor in?

I got my 318 Magnum fired up the other day getting close to having it driveable, its a stock magnum other than a dual plane intake, 1" spacer, and a small cam. 107 LSA, 206/212 @ .050", 258/264 adv, .512"/.522' lift. Its in a truck but it wont be used for truck purposes other than maybe...

Is it possible to convert any dodge alternators to one wire? I have one off a 73 440, mid 80's 318 and a 93 magnum alternator.

I have the Pro Comp Air Gap knockoff that fits both Magnums and La's does anyone know what size fitting I need for the heater hose? I have one for the bypass just need the one to screw in to attach the heater hose.

Another bolt question. I think my timing cover bolts were moved by one of the kids. Does anyone know what size and length they all are so I can get them from my buddies store?

I have a stupid question, I lost my manifold bolts and need to get some new ones what size are they? I'm running a 93 magnum with the magnum manifolds if they are any different from a LA.

i bought a flywheel off a member here I told him what I was doing and he said he had one its supposed to be a fly wheel that will fit my 318. It takes a 10 inch clutch and my truck has a 10.5 inch clutch so what dodges run a 10 inch flywheel?

I am putting my motor together and need to get some bolts for a few things I have a fastener shop right next to my house I always use I just wanted to ask what size /thread type they are so i can atleast know part of what I need when I go. What size and thread are the bolts that hold the...

I had a cam reground at oregon for my magnum 318 with these specs but they didnt tell me any spring specs. I could get the set from hughes for their whiplash cam but I was wanting to know if you guys had any other recommendations? #1458 206/212 @ .050", 258/264 adv, .480"/.488' lift(1.5:1...

Do you guys see any problem with running a roller 88-89 Fuel injected 318 cam in a 93 magnum 318? I was wanting to get one reground because it already has the stuff for mechanical fuel pump instead of having to run an adapter.

I am thinking about while I have everything apart of having my local machine shop shave some meat off my 318 magnum heads and go to a aftermarket thinner headgasket to gain some compression. Has anyone shaved stock maggie heads any estimates on how much I should take off to gain .5 a point or...

I have one last cam question. I had originally wanted to run a whiplash cam but decided it was out of my budget and decided on having my cam reground. Which of these specs would you guys recommend? My engine is a stock magnum with headers, holley carb, 4 speed, and for the time being 3.23...

I am going nuts wanting to work on my project but can't so I wanted to go ahead and make a post and learn some more information so I can decide what I want to do when the time comes. I have a 93 5.2 magnum with fairly low miles holds great oil pressure and doesnt smoke any that I am putting...

This is another one of my posts in attempt to gain knowledge for when/if I need it. I'm thinking I may have enough cash left over after I finish all the other vital parts of my truck such as brakes, driveshaft,ect to be able to buy a cam and I was wonder what a good cam for my motor would be...

I know there have been hundreds of oil threads but I wasnt making this to debate brands or weights just synthetic vs conventional vs synthetic blends. I have always ran conventional and have ran synthetic blend high milage oil in some engines but never a full synthetic. Is there any benifit...

Got a set of car headers for free will they fit a 2wd truck at all with or without slight modification or do I need to be looking to sell/trade this for a set of truck long tube headers?

I'm starting to gather parts for my 5.2 magnum swap with a Airgap/M1 knockoff intake and headers with a cam in the future and was wondering what the best CFM carb would be. Its going into a 84 D150 pickup with a 4 speed OD and 3.23 or 3.55 gears.

I'm looking to carb a 5.2 magnum and was wondering if anyone has used this intake. http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Mopar-Dodge-318-340-360-Magnum-V8-Aluminum-Intake-Manifold-Air-Gap-/380378933152?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item589059e7a0&vxp=mtr Its either that one a RPM air-gap...
