Fuel percolation is a common issue now days with the Puppy Pee gas we have. You can actually hear it boiling in the carb after you shut the engine off. Hard starting after a hot soak is also an issue. You may have too much fuel pressure and /or your float levels are too high. A thicker base...

A friend of mine was having excessive pressure issues and replaced the mechanical pump as a fix. The pressure went from 7 to over 10 psi. A regulator fixed the problem.

Fuel pressure? It should only be 4-5#.

I have my choke hooked to the feed side of the ballast as well. It seems to work just fine. No reason to cover the choke well hole in the intake. It's just a cavity.

I always start with the back of the slot just touching the pin on the carb like in this photo. THat should get you close. I always use the adapter that positions it correctly. (gold colored one in the photo) Switching from a 2 barrel to a 4 barrel or switching brands of carbs makes a difference...

Right you are. A new member from FABO switched to a 4 barrel and I pointed out his misadjusted kickdown. He mentioned the car came that way and 2-3 shift was slipping. :BangHead::BangHead: Damage is done. I suggested fixing the kickdown and servicing the transmission and a band adjustment...

I sold a lot of these when I was in business. Over kill for one install but you get the idea. Press them on. Don't beat them on or draw them in with the balancer. bolt.

The small bolts like the cover bolts are low torque ft/lb. The factory service manual may not have the specs in in/lb which is what mose small fasteners are torqued to now days. I torque rod and main caps and head bolts. Everything else is with a wrench or ratchet using common sense. There is a...

What's the torque specs of the fasteners you want to torque? That will tell you what wrench you need. To do it right, you may need 2.

I would start a Parts Wanted ad here. There is a good chance someone here has a good one you could buy.

It's interesting how different photos can change the colors. The bottom looks turquoise where the ones above it look blue. .

I would rebuild what you have. at least take it off and take the top off to look inside. If it is all corroded and nasty you might be better off buying a new carb if one is available.

Yes, Poly 318. Those are good engines. You can do a compression test but like someone may have mentioned, if the engine hasn't ran for a while the test results may be low and inconsistent. Get it running on all 8 cylinders and drive it for a thousand miles or so. Then your test results will be...

The Poly valve covers have the scallop at the bottom. Obvious for sure. The only Mopar ones like that.

Do the valve covers look like this? If so you have a Poly 318 and not a LA. It doesn't matter really. Just curious.

In addition, pull all the spark plugs. You are testing one cylinder at a time and you don't need the drag of the other 7.

It's not as much how high the compression, but more importantly how even they are.

Nice numbers for a 383.
