Some of the 318's I have seen have a remote filter location; does yours have this or is it still on the side of the engine?

On the side of the block still.

Hey guys, I have a 1970 318. I'm getting a tapping noise when I start up the motor cold. It only lasts for a couple seconds. If I give it a rev or two it goes away almost immediately. I read that running a bottle of Marvel Mystery oil could possibly help. Anybody had experience with this or have any...

Hey guys! I'm back! It's been a while since I've checked in over here and I wanted to share some updates on the project. It's been a crazy two years since I bought this thing. I've been having a ton of fun with it. It will be featured on Discovery Channel's Sticker Shock on July 4th. Here are some u...

How much a wheel like that worth you think?

My wife likes the white one too!

I was thinking about selling it but it looks pretty sweet hanging in my garage.

Got some more updates fellas! Had to show you guys my new handmade steering wheel by a guy in Washington named Big Ron. http://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p450/jpowermoto/starcraft/BC13CBAB-6367-4605-B8BD-B5114202594D_zpsywz1iygn.jpg Also did some stainless steel headers, dual magna flow exhaust wit...

That's what I was hoping to hear!

Thanks for putting my mind at ease.

I was installing some headers on my motor this weekend and noticed that one of the stud holes had a helicoil loosely hanging out after the stud came out with the nut. It's the first hole on the drivers side. The one that goes into the water jacket in the head. I was worried that the hole was going t...

I live on ENGLAND ST and spend more time in my GARAGE than I do the rest of the house.

It's been a little while since I updated this thread so here are some photos of what's been going on. first I had to do something with this motor. She was going too slow and using too much fuel. New digital ignition, distributor, plugs, wires, fixed some exhaust leaks and a carb tune (along with som...

How do you get in contact with these people? I have a unique Dodge RV that I think would be perfect for a movie. I would love to be able to make some money to put right back into the project. http://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p450/jpowermoto/starcraft/578842F5-5D62-44A5-8CF8-279E1133C189_zpszaasq0x...

I put some new shocks on her and she drives like a dream!! Got my stereo system installed as well. DVD/CD/GPS/Bluetooth and back up cams. I put a 10" subwoofer in and 6 6.5 Polk Audio speakers with amps. This thing BUMPS now!! Cruising the beach is so much better with music. I also put in some LED l...

Been busy guys. I bought a carb off craigslist and she runs a way better than when I got her. http://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p450/jpowermoto/starcraft/th_53F6AAF6-F430-4C41-B0EA-E3F0D1DCD120_zpsvi4hhipu.mp4 Scored some Alcoa aluminum wheels and new tires on Craigslist as well. They were pretty c...

Anybody have any preferences on where to get sway bars for a D300?

I'm replacing the leaf springs on my D300 chassis and would like to replace the sway bar and go with poly bushings and new shocks as well.

Any suggestions on what else to replace or what shocks you guys are running?

Thanks.

The guy had a couple of sets when I showed up. He was parting out a 1990 Ford F350 and it had nice Alcoa's with the larger lug holes and center bore. So I got 4 Alcoa's, 2 steel inner rear wheels, center caps, lug nuts and 6 tires. 4/6 tires were almost new. I picked it all up for $800. Seemed like ...

Thanks. I would test fit but My rv is in the shop at the moment. I wont have time to get these wheels during the week and wanted to grab them today.

I have a 1970 Dodge motorhome on a D300 chassis.

Will these aluminum Alcoas fit?

The guy in the add seems to think so but I wanted your opinion before I pull the trigger.

I definitely came to the right place.

You guys answered all my questions in 4 replies.

This is awesome. Can't thank you guys enough. I will start a build thread so you guys can keep up with the progress.
