The time has come to replace my Carter 2bbl 4608S as it won't hold a tune after a rebuild and is failing a vacuum test according to my trusted mechanic. Is the general idea that you can swap any 2bbl with another 2bbl? (Identical bases, etc.?) If anyone can weigh in here I don't have the...

Hey all, I'm still dinking around with this leaking power steering return line fitting but I see no reason for it to do so. The fitting and o-rings are new and the mating surface is clean and blemish free. Is there a standard length that I could've screwed up some of internal mojo with by...

My uneventful water pump, etc. replacement last weekend appears to be a short term victory. Last night after a short trip to Napa I discovered a pool of transmission fluid from a weep hole (?) on top of the engine near the valve cover.. The FSM doesn't appear to mention this. Does anyone...

Hey All, I know I saw a pic of this somewhere here months ago but I never bookmarked it and I've looked through my searchable FSM but don't really know what I'm looking for. What is this thing below my alternator and is it supposed to leak around the top circular part? (maybe only in cold...

When I had my mechanic fix a bunch of things this spring they left the power steering leak issues as an "that's easy enough you should be able to tackle it" thing. Unfortunately as evidenced in my other posts I think they greatly overestimated my abilities since I know how to change oil and...

Tracking down one final slow leak that appears to be coming from the PS pressure hose but am running into some weird issues, and apparently I'm one of the few folks with a Federal pump (just replaced, brand new) on a 318. Here's the weirdness: - The replacement hoses I'm finding are all...

Hi All, One more thing to replace before the Fury is 100% operational and leak-free (for now) but even though this appears to be an easy swap I thought I'd better verify a few things. I know it will take 3x longer than expected, regardless. - Is there any trick to releasing belt tension or...

For any folks that are using an open element air filter (on a 318 if that matters), what kind of crankcase breather oil cap do you use if not one with a vent tube? I currently have the standard clip in style like this (pic) but I'm pretty clueless if I need clip in or if a push-in will work...

I had a nice gentleman at a cruise-in yesterday highly recommend something for ethanol treatment such as Sta-Bil's "360 Protection". I had never heard of this, any opinions? I'm all for preventing damage but have just been using premium with a lead additive bottle (318/non-hardened seats) and...

Sorry All, a couple rudimentary questions that I can't seem to find answers to anywhere else via Google, YouTube, or service manual. - I have the 68 318 and would like to swap the air cleaner to a round style without the snorkel, but I see that there's a breather tube to the oil filler cap...
