Both the 318 poly & 318 LA (the 71 eng.) are internal balance so the harmonic balancers will interchange balance wise but you may have trouble w/ crank pulleys. Truck & van 318 & 360 engines have the deep part of the pan at the rear (similar to small block chebbies). No need to go to a different...

318 poly block is almost the same as a 318 LA block. Side by side the are very similar, the heads make the engine look much larger tho. Same bore, same stroke as an LA engine.

Most MoPar truck blocks are hi nickel iron. It is stronger and has a slightly different color than regular gray cast iron.

Those older headers (probably what you bought at swap meet) were designed to use the original MoPar starter which is shaped differently than these new permanent magnet mini starters. I had the same problem w/ my Duster. Bought a set of headers (brand unknown) and the late model MoPar mini...

Gonna bore people w/ more general info. I don't pretend to know everything about threads but in my career I have cut quite a few and repaired a lot of them. Worked in both the oil/gas industry & aviation. Here's a bit of general info on pipe threads. Pipe is measured by the I.D. (inside dia) &...

This is curious and had to do a bit of research. Checked my reliable old machinists bible (machinery's handbook) and could find no listing of any pipe thread w/ 24 tpi. Either NPT or NPS. Even checked dry seal pipe thread & fine (F-PTF), British std pipe threads (both press joint & non-press...

That's an old one for sure. Had one on my 65 for a while but it was off of a 62 and was a bit different. Someone building a late 50's D-500 might be interested.

I put a later 727 trans in my 65 but I have a floor shift & was able to adapt the cable/lever mechanism to work w/ the 67 trans. I'll outline the problem: 65 was a transition year. They used the old (64 & older) trans w/ cable shift incorporating a box at the end of the steering column that had...

Never built a 426 street engine but my younger brother had one in a 64 dodge. In factory trim it would run OK, modified it will be great. Last year for trunion style U-joint was 64, my 65 Ply has typical cross yoke U-joints. Some very early 65s might have trunion tho unknown to me. Term "line...

Tech guys always say that "this is the first time I've heard of that". Return line not necessary, pump only puts out low pressure (for carb) and a return line would only reduce the fuel flow at higher eng output. Have a pump just like yours and first one failed in short order also. Parts store...

Longram 330: Check for coolant in the oil. Polys would do that if the head gaskets get old. Look for milky deposits on dipstick or remove a valve cover and look for evidence of condensation there. Valve guide seals could be old, brittle and leaking. The intake valve on the 318 poly is sitting in...

For anyone interested: for an economical rear brake upgrade go to a mid 80s Fifth ave. or Fury cop car rear drum setup. Beefy fined drum w/10 X 2 1/2 shoes and more modern hdwe. Be sure to get the backing plates. I have them on 8 3/4 rears in 75 Duster and 65 Ply. I also have 11" setup from 82...

Did 65s have tapered axles? Mine never did. Thought 64 was last year. Tapered axles create a real problem doing brake work, had those on my 63 b body. Curious about the last year for tapered axles

Measured a 75 Duster brake booster. Master cyl bolt pattern is the same as my 65 Satellite w/ single master cyl. Firewall mount measures as follows: ctr to ctr horiz= 3.75 (3 3/4)", vert= 3.5 (3 1/2)". This booster came off of a disk brake car, the booster for a drum brake A-body may be...

Post script: Thought I was running out of room. Word of caution, Remember that some of the plastic clips had the little bayonet (part that goes into the drilled hole) offset from ctr. Might want to check w/ others on forum about this.

65 Satellite trim hole location. Holes from side to side are slightly different. 1) Rear qtr pass side: 2 holes are 1/8" dia, rest are 13/64". Ctr line of 13/64" holes is 11/32" down from second crease fr top of qtr. Drivers side qtr. is about 5/16" down. the 2 1/8" holes are 1/8" down. 2)...

This may be too little too late but that carb is off of a 70s era 318. I have a carb and air cleaner that I think is off of a 65 or 66 but could never come up with a direct answer on the exact year that mopar went from the clamp style hold down (as shown in your pic of the 62 unit) to the type...

Got to do that to my 65. What is color combo? Gold w/ saddle (dark brown)? Colors laptop not the best. Please give details on fitment. Planning on buying from Legendary. My 65 is white w/ same type interior, gold w/ dark brown inlay.
