It’s embarrassing to say but after checking through nearly everything and basically installing a whole new electrical ignition I found that the spark plugs were fouled which also lead me to see that my dad installed the external ballast resistor upside down 40 years ago, so the 5 ohms side was...

I have no idea what the fuel pressure is, I can tell you the pump was installed in the 80s so it’s probably time for a new one anyway. I wanna stay electric if I can, do you have any recommendations and what psi should I be running?

I would have my curb idle screw in really far before opening the secondaries so I opened them up to turn the idle down without stalling the car, that’s what made me think it just needed more o2 so I drilled 1/8 holes in the throttle plates but that didn’t necessarily help at all, so now I’m...

I did rebuild the carb in April and it was a rebuilt kit for the Holley 1850 vacuum secondaries so the power valve is just whatever comes stock which I’m not sure but I have backfired out of the carb since then but I had the carb off last week and the power valve looked okay

Idk what the specs are on the cam all I know is my dad installed it in the 80s, I’ll have to dig through all the documentation to find out all I know is that it was called a hemi street performance cam? And no I haven’t used that gauge, I should make that investment. What ratio am I looking for...

The slots aren’t visible under the butterfly’s when closed, I haven’t had luck keeping the car running with them just visible from the underside of the carb however this might just be an insane balancing act I have to perform

Passenger side is good, driver side has a hole in the headers that I patched other than that it’s all good

Vacuum drops from 15in in park to about 8in until it eventually cuts out completely

15in of hg but idle is at 12-1300 rpm from the open secondaries, once I go in gear I drop to 800 rpm and 5in of hg I tried screwing in the curb idle and closing the secondaries some but it stalls immediately with curb idle screwed in a small amount (about 1-1.5 turns)

No I haven’t yet and I was trying to play around with it but I need someone to hold the break in gear to check the vacuum while I adjust, that’ll be the next thing I try

I hate to say it but my highest vacuum is about two turns out I’m worried about fouling my spark plugs or is it okay to run like that??

Hey all, I got a 318 with 340 heads, a Holley 1850 600cfm and hemi street performance cam and I’ve never been able to lean it out. The car runs super rich with the idle mixture screws out a turn and a half. The driver side screw is a bit wobbly and doesn’t respond like the passenger side screw...

The power to the coil in the run position is about 2V, is that normal? I’m new to this

I can confirm it’s not the ballast resistor or the ignition switch, I gotta do a deep check on connections but from what I can see everything looks good, is it possible that the old spark plug wires are the problem? They are from 1977

I can confirm now that it’s not the ballast resistor or the ignition switch :( this is a good suggestion, thank you! I did not switch the floats out when I did a rebuild but when I check my float level from the sight plug it’s good. So is it possible that a problem could occur from the minute...

I replaced the ballast resistor and that didn’t work, I’m going to install the new ignition switch tonight and if that doesn’t work then I must have some big problems

Hey all, I have a 318 69 sport satellite that I had running pretty well after 20 years of sitting in a barn. I recently tried to lean the carb out a bit but it kept getting worse as I tried to fix it to the point I reset everything on the carb. I could get it to idle for a few minutes then it...

Hey everyone, I'm happy to finally be here after a year of working on my family's 1969 Plymouth sport satellite! The car was purchased by my grandfather in Saskatchewan, then handed over to my dad in college, and now it's finally my turn to give it some love. There's still a lot of work to be...
