Oil pan gasket question
Chrysler 318. Received an oil pan gasket kit with 7 gaskets. There is a “U” shaped rubber gasket that came with the kit but doesn’t seem to fit anywhere. Can’t find instructions anywhere. In the kit or online. Does anyone know if this is possibly a multi engine kit and is not used on a 318? Thank you.

Re: Ignition overload
Well it took a year but the fix was found by accident. It seems there was a wire near the steering housing. When you turned the wheel a certain there was enough flex on the wheel that it moved just enough to touch the wire and ground out the ignition and shut off the motor. Replaced the wire and eve...

Bulkhead replacement
F30 - I am replacing my bulkhead between the cabin and engine room. While removing the rotted wood I noticed that the rear deck is supported only in the middle by the two main stringers. Since there was so much bad work done on this boat I am questioning if this support is correct. I have two main s...

Re: Ignition overload
The wire comes from the coil to the 40 amp breaker. There breaker has two wires coming off it. One runs directly from the 40 amp breaker to the 15 amp breaker. This feeds the ignition switch. I initially disconnected the wire from the coil to the distributor cap to try and isolate the issue. When I ...

Re: Ignition overload
I installed a 15 amp fuse to replace the 15 amp breaker. At first I unplugged the ignition coil wire and turned the key on without starting the engine and the overload popped. So I replaced the wire. It seemed to work then started to blow again. The battery is new and has a full charge. Haven't chan...

Ignition overload
1978 Trojan f30 with Chrysler 318. Engine starts up and runs fine for about 5 minutes then overload trips. I replaced the wire from the overload to the main overload on the engine and installed an inline fuse to replace the overload for temporary use and the fuse still blows. Any suggestions?
