I posted about this before but haven't been able to resolve it. Here's the situation. Car cold-starts perfectly. I drive it for a while and after about 30 mins I'll pull up to a stop sign or red light and it will stall. Engine temperature is not HOT but warm, normal. Restarting is difficult and...

Hey guys, 318 Poly. 66 Polara. Just curious about this vacuum port on the intake manifold. The pic is from my old manifold, which I replaced with one suitable with my new 4-bbl carburetor. The "new" manifold has this port as well. I'm away from the car for the moment. I believe the vacuum line...

318 Poly, New Edelbrock 4-barrel. I know it's normal for RPM to be a little higher when idling in Park or Neutral, vs. Drive. The question is what governs this? What actually makes the RPM go down in drive. Is it just a matter of the transmission engaging and slowing the engine down? Is there...

I recently swapped the intake manifold on my 318 Poly to go from a 2-BBL to a 4-BBL carburetor. Pardon me for not knowing the exact terminology but I noticed that in the cavity where the water and coolant passes through the heads that there's a thin metal rod (about the diameter of wire clothes...

I removed the intake manifold to change the gaskets (I have another thread about coolant in my oil after manifold swap on my 318 Poly). I was scraping some of the sealant off the head with my cheap hobo freight scraper (see picture) when I dropped the plastic cap/cover down the lifter valley...

Hi guys, I just completed an intake manifold swap on my 66 Polara with a 318 Poly. The purpose was to go from a 2-BBL to a 4-BBL carb. I just ran the engine to tune the carburetor and checked the oil afterwards. The oil was brown and tasted of coolant. I have some questions, but first a little...

I searched the forum and found one thread about this but didn't get a definitive answer to my particular question. 66 Polara with a 318 Poly. I checked my plugs yesterday and the ones closest to the firewall on both sides were fouled with oil around the threads and the ceramic. What's causing...

Anyone know where I can get ahold of a pulley for my 66 Polara 318 Poly with AC? I found a shop called Damper Dudes that will refurbish mine, but my car is my daily driver and I don't want to have it out of commission for a week. Just got it back after a week in the shop for shocks, bushings and...

Hi folks, long time no see. I've decided that I'm finally going to convert my 66 Polara with a 318 Poly engine to a 4bbl carb set-up. My rationale, in case you're interested (though I've made up my mind) is that my mileage already sucks, so a little more fuel consumption isn't going to bother...

For background: 1966 Polara 4DR with a 318 Poly which was rebuilt about 7 years ago. Recently swapped out Holley 2BB (that was flooding) for the (rebuilt) Stromberg 2BB that came with the car. Car was basically undrivable after the swap, stalling on idle in Drive. On a hunch I decided to...

Here's the deal. Last week I had an issue with the carburetor on my 318 Poly. I took the advice of the guys on the board (thank you, by the way) I decided to have the original Stromberg carb rebuilt rather than fixing the Holley that was on the car and was shooting fuel out of the vent tube...

So I have 1966 Polara with a 318 Poly. Car originally came with a stromberg carburetor. When I bought the car in 2004 the carb was rebuilt. In 2007 I replaced it with a Holley 2280. I honestly don't remember why. I can only assume I was having issues with the stromberg and went with the...

As I've written elsewhere on the board, I have a 318 Poly in my 66 Polara. This was the "economy" model and came with a 2BBL setup. I've had the car for 10 years and at some point I became obsessed with converting to a 4BBL carb. I searched and searched for the elusive Weiand intake and the best...
