I run a Edelbrock 1406 which is a 600 cfm on a stock 318 and it runs just fine.
The 650 should also.
Have you chaneged the metering rod springs?
What timing are you running?
Can you tell if it's a rich bog, or lean?

yea it,s got a rich bog ...the car was sitting for a couple of years ...even when I got it from California...it sucked....we did everything you can think of thanks for your help
The BEST carb for a stock 318 is the stock 2 barrel.

Are you running a fuel pressure regulator? Have you set/checked the floats? Is the electric choke hooked up? Honestly, its too much carb if your 318 is all stock.

That carb should work fine. Whats your timing at? When does the car have bogging issues?
My 1972 318 Dart ran best with a Carter 850 thermoquad , all it had was holley street performer , headers and heads shaved to up compression . The carb came off a friends 1974 Roadrunner , put in smaller primary jets and it really ran great , better than the Holey 650 it replaced . The sound when wide open was great . Of course this was 30 years ago , carb technology has changed and it might not be the best choice today .
if its all stock, exh, intake etc, stock 2 barrel is really good.
But if you have some mods like headers, 2 pipe exhausth summit carb is really good, least i like it

i have been driving it about 2500miles now, between -10 to 30 celcius
no bogging, really good throttle response, little bit more power and electric choke is nice starts good everytime.
mine combo is 318 edel perf int, hooker headers, 2 1/2 twin exhusth HEI ing otherwise stock engine
With 904 trans and 3.2 rear mpg is about 18

A rich bog? As when yo step on the gas? Move the pump shot arm back a notch. If it runs rich, gets tuning kit. It doesn't need a rebuild? The kits are cheap and the carb is easy to do.

You can download the Eddy manual online for that.
The 1806 should work well (better than a 1406, which work well on 318s).
You sure you don't have a lean bog from the air door opening too fast?
I'd work on dialing that thing in.
That carb should work fine on a 318, once the air door and jetting/rods/springs are in the ballpark.
