Thanks Blue...Looks like I will have the sump off and clean/renew the pump. I normally get most of my engine spares from Rockauto. Can you recommend anyone over here who might have a pump/spring kit/filter/
gaskets in stock?
Thanks

stock 318 oil leak

Hi All, Have a 68 Dodge D100 with a stock 318 engine. It hasn't been started for 6 months. Started it up today and noticed oil pouring out from underneath. Stopped engine straight away. It looked like the leak was coming from the filter. The filter wasn't that tight so spun it off thinking the rubbe...

Appreciated...

Dave 81... Thanks again, have ordered a dual spring kit for it. I took the choke off, did as you suggested and fired up ok. Stuttered a bit but after 30 seconds or so was ok. Dave 999 thanks for the ebay links, I'll leave it like it is for a bit but if any problems I'll try and bend the choke rod. I...

Filter

Hi guys, Advice taken and filter moved and replaced with a metal one. The carb is a Carter and as I mentioned before the choke is dodgy. From cold, unless I reconnect the choke it won't start. It looks like the choke rod is too long because the choke won't fully open once the engine gets hot. If I d...

Hi there, I have just bought a Dodge d100 pickup with a 1985 318 engine in it. The engine doesn't have any leaks and no dodgy noises. The inlet manifold/carb has all the emission stuff disconnected. The choke on the carb doesn't work. I am going to put an electronic ignition on it. I was wondering i...
