Need some help..

[Ole M]

Hello guys.. im fresh in the game, and need some help to time the ignition on my 318...
Wondering: What degrees, and what rpm to run? Its an almost stock engine, with an other camshaft and a Carter 600 competion series carburetor...

That was question one... Now for question two...

When running the car in "drive" it shift`s into the first and second gear like it should... but no third gear.... in about 35-40mph... Its an A727A gear box(Automatic)....

Thank you for any answer..

Its an chrysler, from an 74 dodge dart(the 318 that is)... but now it has found its way down into my 68`dart GT...

Check your kickdown linkage,sometimes they get stuck. Hank

This maybe a dumb question but where do I messure the air gap? Pictures, links?

[nitrowarrior]

Air gap is measured inside the distributor. Recluctor wheel aligned with pick up coil (Magnet looking device). Brass feeler gauges are available cheaply at the majority of part houses. Don't use steel or non brass/bronze feeler gauges. Double check shaft play in the distributor for excessive play or all this work is for naught.
