Re: Chrysler 318 Manifold temperatures

ive heard of people cleaning them with some acid or something, i personally wouldn't bother, my feeling is what if they let go and you hydrolock the motor? for $1,000 I for manifolds, copper tubes, bolts, gaskets, elbows and risores shipped to me, well worth it IMO

Re: Fuel tank replacement

I had a 78, that was easy to get to the tanks! Previous owner of that one had a leaky tank welded, nobody is going to crawl in mine and weld mine I dont think. Only 50 gallons each, thats a bummer, although the aft tanks are only 64. I still think this is my best option. As for filling the tanks wit...

Fuel tank replacement

My starboard fuel tank is now leaking, port one doesn't look much better. After some thought ive decided its best to go with saddle tanks instead of cutting up the rear deck to remove the old galvi tanks, some F32s had this as an option. Does anyone know the specs or supplier for said tanks? Theirs ...

Re: Chrysler 318 Manifold temperatures

I did this to diagnose my bad manifolds, hes correct, my laser temp gun from Ryobi was a great $25 investment. When I bought new manifolds and risors it was suggested to me by the dealer to take readings after installing them and again in a few years to start to monitor build up down the road as the...
