    Fuel pump for 318 small block

    smallblock v. big block --- Thats true --- but the ones I am talking about are both small block.......apparently at some point in time they changed the orientation of the output fitting for the hard line.....it is clocked some 45 degrees to the front from where it is on the later model pumps...

    Fuel pump for 318 small block

    ALso -- I read somewhere that when a mechanical pump fails it can contaminate the crankcase oil with gas..... When this pump failes it was leaking gas from the weep hole.......should I change the oil?

    Fuel pump for 318 small block

    Are they as "easy" to tweak and change stuff in and out of as the edelbrocks? Seriously considering this ...but after a decade of tinkering with the Eddy and getting no where new, will probably be lost.....lol

    Fuel pump for 318 small block

    So I was wondering if a different carb would be better.....it's been 11 years fighting the problem....lol Would the Holley route use the same lokar throttle and kickdown cables I have?? I am pretty much ignorant when it comes to Holley carbs.....as far as sizing etc......assume mating one to...

    Fuel pump for 318 small block

    Yep thats what I always thought /was told too....but places like Summit and Rock AUto all have those two part numbers and all say the same thing...not interchangeable....the specs all looks the same to me...I think back in 2009 I just gave up and got the 76 part and it has worked fine all this...

    Any information for the rest of us '72 guys?

    AMEN! The MARKET is what determined that 70-71s were more "special". Me, I prefer the 72 up taillights (no offense to the 70/71 guys...lol) so I am pretty happy mine wasnt a 70-71 when I bought it....less $$ and fewer people were looking at them at the time. Though I, too, have wondered...

    What you prefer to seal header bolts in the water jacket?

    Agree with the studs... I used plain old permatex #2 when I put the studs in , from what I can recall. No issues.

    Steering wheel puller

    WOW ...one of my old threads revived...LOL I had figured it out a long time back..... The key, I found, was to work thestuds from the crush can into the grooves/slots on the pullers main plate...that allowed the puller to drop down further and reach the shaft just fine. Thanks for the...

    340 or 360 for hp

    +1 If this were the original motor for the car, I could see going this route. But at this point? Cut bait and buy a crate. Or, so you can drive the car, find a cheap used, running motor to throw in there for now...318, 360, whatever.....and save up the pennies for what you want so you can...

    I'm thinking of giving up my car...

    Glad to see you hanging on. The first year I had my fish I felt the same way...always SOMETHING. But I prioritized and just wanted to get her street worthy. In my case, different rims can wait, tires are a requirement. Sway bars are great, but not needed to drive the car. That sort of...
