Hello All, I double checked the cylinder head casting number on the car to make sure my notes were correct. It is in fact a '302' head (casting number 4323302). Also, I corrected a typo in my response about my horsepower and torque targets. I had torque at 275 lb. ft. when it should have been...

Hello Duke5A, BRILLIANT!!! Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for doing the detective work as well some additional tips. Based on the flow numbers I would assume they were using 28 inches of water (pressure drop), to do this testing. This is the industry standard although some testers use...

Hello All, Appreciate all the feedback, especially from Duke5A and AMC Diplomat. Unfortunately the thread went sideways which I was hoping would not happen. For the record; 1. I'm only looking for flow numbers for the '302' head (if you have other stock flow numbers, please share), for...

Hello AHBguru, Appreciate the feedback. Agree that the '308' and later '576' heads were the best production LA heads they can only be found on '88 - '92 LA360 truck engines. Although Mopar performance had them available until the early 2000s. Which makes them a rare item, although I am still on...

Hello Duke5A, Thanks for the quick response. The info is a step in the right direction. Although using aftermarket heads is the easy route, it is a very expensive one here in Canada. Ordering / purchasing anything out of the US ends up double to the price in Canadian dollars after the exchange...

Hello All, It has been awhile since I'm been on the forum - just moved. As a result I haven't touched the '88 AHB Plymouth Caravelle (Gran Fury for you US guys), since May!! I'm trying to calculate some camshaft specs for my engine as the Hughes item I was planning to use has an unknown...

Hello Aspen500, Thanks for the correction. Looks like my memory is starting to misfire! :-)

Hello Rustyroger, Canada and especially the US were well behind Europe when it came to seat / shoulder belts (front and rear). Some of the US car manufacturers tried to introduce front lap belts in the late fifties but had to discontinue them because the public thought those models must be...

Hello All, Need some feedback from anyone that has used a Hughes 'HUG SER2226ALN-10' in their 318? I haven't purchased the cam as yet, out of stock at the moment. Focus of the modifications is torque and not horsepower along with sufficient vacuum for power brakes. The choice of the above...

Hello Duke5A, You're the man!!! Brilliant, I was hoping it was a A518 / 46RH. You have no idea how many hours I spent trying to determine what version I have. Thank you!

Hello Both, Thanks for the quick reply. I know it is an RH version as it only has two electrical connectors; a 3 pin (12V, OD, TCC), and 2 pin (neutral / park). As for the pan, below is a picture - hope that helps.

Hello All, I've been going around in circles trying to figure out which version of Dodge automatic I have. The know it came from a 1995 Dodge Dakota pick-up with the 318 V8. The number on the side of the rail for the ATF pan is; PK5211832421083192. Depending on which website I go to it is...

Hello AMC Diplomat, The second ebay link you sent me ended up being a winner. The seller was willing to pull the weatherstripping / guide piece as well as the four nylon keepers off the rear door glass he was selling and sell that separately. VERY generous offer from the seller as it was not...

Hello KKritsilas, Good point. The only 33 Ohm resistor I had in my parts box was a 10W. I figured it was overkill. A 1 or 2W resistor should be sufficient. I considered a pot to fine tune the accuracy. All of this will have to wait until the car is on the road - Spring of 2025 if all goes well...

Hello AMC Diplomat, You are a gentleman. I've contacted the chap in the second link as he is in Michigan. My nephew in LaSalle, Ontario (close to Detroit), has a drop box in Detroit that I could make use of. Fingers crossed. :-) Plan B is to see if 10 mil Mylar (appears to be the factory...

Hello AMC Diplomat, Thanks for the quick response. I checked the ad and he doesn't ship to Canada. In fact he only ships to the continental USA. :-( I will have to keep searching. Fingers crossed. :-)

Hello All, The passenger rear door glass was stuck when I acquired my car (1988 Gran Fury / Caravelle). Discovered the channel that the weatherstripping at the rear of the glass sits in was corroded resulting in the weatherstripping bonding to the metal channel. Needless to say it damaged...

Hello All, Guess what? Was looking up something in the owners manual (yes, my car came with the original pristine OM), and lo and behold on page 9 was the diagram below. DOH! Never thought to check the OM. As Aspen500 mentioned it is a two piece system; you retain the existing lap belt and add...

Hello All, Great 'international' feedback. Sub03 - appreciate the compliment. I have no idea what the fuel gauge input resistance range is. The factory service manual describes how to test the gauge BUT it is with the 'factory' testing tool. A box that has a three position switch; E 1/2 F...

Hello All, Appreciate the feedback. I was hoping a diagram or pictures existed as the logical place for the harness mount is the rear parcel shelf. However, as you noted, it is quite weak so reinforcement is a necessity. My assumption was that the 'dealer kit' would include some form of...

Hello All, Had an interesting challenge when I replaced the original fuel sending unit with an aftermarket one; Spectra Premium FG62A (via Rock Auto). I don't know if anyone has experienced this issue but I thought it may save someone time and frustration correcting the problem. Background My...

Hello All, I would like to add rear shoulder belts to my '88 Plymouth Caravelle (aka Gran Fury). I have some ideas as to where the various components can be mounted but it would be nice to know how the factory did it. So, I'm hoping someone has a copy of the optional (dealer installed??), rear...

Hello 80mirada, Nice piece of insight especially the point about headers. Thanks!!

Aspen500. Thanks for the follow-up. I'm curious as to why you added the flex pipes? I added a flex pipe to my Volvo 940 Turbo (2.3L 4 cyl. RWD, 3" downpipe and converter then 2.5" to a SS Magnaflow muffler at rear bumper), in an attempt to reduce drone which I assumed was from vibration. Didn't...

Aspen500, Forgot to ask, what brand of muffler did you put on your car. BTW the underside of your car is pristine - well done!
