Re: General questions - 69 D200

The timing seems to be all over the place that I’ve read online. No one has a clear answer to what it should be at. I set mine at 8* BTDC in my van (318) then if it pinged adjust till it doesn’t. Gets old doing it over and over till you find a sweet spot.

Re: 318LA rear sump Dipstick

I am putting in an ‘85 318 in my truck and got a rear sump pan. Engine was from a car that had a middle sump pan. Dipstick is in the same location. Just need a longer dipstick. Still haven’t found one that’s the correct length.

Motor mount position

Is there a certain way it’s supposed to set? The metal side folded up to face the front or to the firewall? And are both sides to fit in the same position?

Re: Engine mounts / brackets

The frontwards casting on the block is wider than earlier 318’s. Anyone else change engines and notice this? Since the ‘85 bracket is a little shorter I’ll just add a spacer under the bracket or motor mount. I’m guessing this should work. And on the ‘85 engine,the block casting on passenger side onl...

Re: Engine mounts / brackets

This is from passenger side. This is the ‘69 bracket and it fits to the front of the engine. Obviously not wide enough.

Re: Engine mounts / brackets

Re: Engine mounts / brackets

I got a 318 out of an ‘85 Chrysler 5th Ave and the sweptline bracket is fine on driver side since the bracket fits to the rear of it.

Re: Engine mounts / brackets

2 black ones on the right I bought off a guy but don’t know what year sweptline they from. Gray ones I got off a ‘69. Gray ones are a little taller and the black ones angle back. The black one on far left is off an ‘85, passenger side.

Re: Fender removal question

I had my fender off with no issue, hood left on. Pain to separate it from the radiator core support on my truck though.
