Well, my 318 is probably churning out about 160 horses, so I think 5/16" fuel line is gonna be fine! Do you know how much pressure your fuel pump puts out? Since I want to use the factory lines in my Fifth Avenue, I want to make sure they can handle 12 psi without breaking. Thanks.

Where are you finding mechanical pumps for less than $20? I paid almost $30 for the last one at an Autozone store. Regardless, it's been in the car for about six months and doesn't seem able to deliver the pressure it did when it was new. I'm just tired of changing out mechanical pumps and want...

The mechanical pump I installed in February was good for a few months, and now it's putting out less & less pressure. As I mentioned, sometimes it's as low as 2 psi, and it doesn't seem to hold any fuel in the system overnight. In other words, I drive the car through the day, I park it in my...

Hey OldIron440, How did you build your system? What parts did you use? And what mistakes can you tell me to avoid? Thanks.

Hey Folks, I want to go with an electric fuel pump in my gas tank (Walbro TBI pump with reservoir tray that puts out 12 psi) and while I was thinking about how to install a return line from the regulator back to the tank, it occurred to me that there's already one there from the factory. The...

Hello Steven, In fact I do have the '84 Dip, and am pulling parts off of it for my '86 Fifth Avenue. I'm taking the 8.25-inch rear end & driveshaft out of it in a month or two, so it'll have no rear axle when I'm done. I already took off the Edelbrock intake & carb and the distributor, coil &...

Okay, sounds great. I look forward to seeing the pics, and let me know what you want for one of the carbs. Thanks.

That's hilarious, we were just in Pittsburgh with our kids for the holiday weekend! We stayed at a Red Roof Inn in Monroeville, probably ten or twelve miles from you! Hey, I noticed your moniker is Slant Six -- would your Holley carbs be set up for a slant six or a V8? I need a carb for my 318...

Okay, that'll be great, thanks. Are you in Northeast Ohio by any chance? If so I can pick up one of the carbs and pay you in person. Just let me know.

Hey Slant Six, Thanks for the reply. Of course I want a core I know'll work, more-o-less complete, so I presume you've got something like that. Can you send a few photos? Thanks, Scot

Hey Folks, I joined ForFMJBodiesOnly in April 2021 and I guess I never used it again. At that time I had an '84 Diplomat with about 200,000 miles and she was running great until I ran it out of coolant in October '21 on the interstate and she was never the same again. I don't know if I cracked...

Been daily-driving my '84 Diplomat for seven years and just hit 200,000 miles, so I'm sold on the 318. Just want to keep it running as well as I can. Location: Cleveland, OH
