    Rough idle? 318

    Mine at idle is 15, but I have a performance cam. Normally, it would be about 21". A stock 360 would probably be around 20, but it depends on the build specs, a lot of other factors.

    oops, nevermind. It was the bulb! :BangHead:

    71 Charger Dome Light

    Putting the meter to it, it goes from 9-10 volts down to 0 in about 1 1/2 seconds ?

    71 Charger Dome Light

    My dome light no longer works. I have replaced the bulb. It does not come on when opening the doors or by turning the light switch to the left. I have the standard dash. I will say the dash lights dimming action is very erratic (if that has anything to do with the dome light). Any thoughts...

    Rough idle? 318

    I kept saying to myself this feels like a vacuum leek. And indeed it was, I just did not check that booster connection like the other guys said. I even think I know what happened. The last thing I did before the problem started was check the master cylinder. I probably knocked that plug off when...

    Rough idle? 318

    1972 Dodge Charger. 318 w/ 4bbl avs2 and performer manifold. Engine rebuilt 12k miles ago with KB167 pistons and 302 heads, mild 340ish cam. It has been running perfect until now. Now it has a very rough idle that I have not been able to pin down. It is fine at highway speeds and over 20-25 MPH...

    Return line question?

    I agree with this. I had scary gas tank implosions (bang) and gas pouring out the filler neck on my '72 on hot days just because the prior owner dickwad capped the vent line and removed the charcoal canister. The 1972 Chrysler-designed charcoal canister/expansion tank configuration was (a...

    Deeper dive rust inspection red flags

    I've noticed a place to look is on the front frame rails just below and behind where the upper control arm is. Particularly the rear mounting. Down on the frame rail you'll see a drain hole there that lets water into the inside of the frame rail. There are drain holes further back, but it still...

    Loud Screeching noise at startup!

    Speaking of alternators, the new one is a duralast reman from Autozone. Very good quality job. I think it was $81. Fits in much better than the old one.. no gaps in spacers, no shimming. I'm starting to be a Duralast fan. Water pump is new Duralast also.
