Hi all! Been lurking for about a month now and decided it was about time to join. Just purchased my first Mopar, a 1974 Dodge Dart Sedan with a 318 and 3 speed automatic. Over the past month, my brother and I have been putting work into making the car drivable, and after replacing fuel tank and lines, putting a fresh set of Cragars and tires on, we spent all day running arrands in it. Drives great and runs smooth, though I am concerned about the amount of power its putting out. I've tuned the carb to the best of my abilities and adjusted the timing as well as I can without a light. Though, it still seems to be really low on power. I have fuel pump and/or accelerator pump in the back of my mind, Is there anywhere else I should be looking? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If it`s a high milage vehicle, 100,000 mi.+ you might be looking at a rebuild.
Hopefully it`s just tuning. Invest in a timing light.
100% agree on the timing light.
I would add a compression tester, and a vacuum gauge
Edit: And a shop manual.
