I have seen the broken off vinyl teeth ( on many SBC) plug up the oil screen/feed also......

Yeah it wasn’t meant to be a dig on 318s, the big blocks have/had it too; didn’t know/remember SBC also had it
not nearly as bad as a timing belt on an interference engine, there are tons of those...
Just can bite you in the *** if it’s not on the radar
this 383 has 200k on the original nylon coated gear; the chain is all kinds of loose
go to 37 minutes into the video to see it:

Yes, in a really bad way.. Most of them were early 70's Z28's , a pretty popular car amongst my friends in our youth....
Benn wanting to do that for years. Had a 73 wagon I was fixing up for that purpose. Still want to do a long road trip in the near future.
I was surprised you didn’t detour through Reno and pickup some wheels at Summit for that thing

I have put almost 40,000 miles on this 69 Coronet 440 4 dr. sedan. 318, auto, 8-3/4 , 291 sure grip. ( I added) and my aftermarket 2-5/8 Sun gauges, and Superior steering wheel. I have had these parts on all the drivers I have had since high school. bought it with 70,000 miles. I did go thru it and replace the gas tank, carpet, headliner, all the rubber hoses. put 11" drum brakes on. ft. anti sway bar wiper motor, been on the Power tour many times. ran prefect. and all original. including the points dist. We put 4000 miles the first week out on the power tour long haul. 2008 I think. and the AM radio W/ FM converter, works but the speaker lasted Meer hours. and No radio for the rest of the trip. LOL!! I have added 15" painted wheels, stripe and scoops. It's my Summer daily driver. has been since 2009. drove it to MCCaan in 2014. and hit over 20" of snow. first time this car has been in snow at lease since 1980. as that was the last time it was registered. came from ND.
Was just wondering how your doing.

Doing good thanks for asking. Haha.. the only problem i have now is 3 mopars instead of one! Would love to do another road trip someday. I'll be following HawkRods trip this summer since i won't be able to do my own. Should be a good one to follow.
