The overheating will be a radiator or a fan clutch. I've never had a Mopar overheat for any other reason. The "throttle rod" has a procedure for adjusting it. Mopar used several different versions depending on the car and the engine, but the short story is that on the later models the adjustment is made at the transmission. You have the "throttle lever" on the transmission with a smaller rod and pivot arrangement on the outer end of it. Normally there is a bolt that you loosen so that the small rod can slide front to rear. With the carb at base idle, you pull the throttle rod forward at the carb until there is no space in the slot there, then pull the throttle LEVER on the trans forward against it's stop, then tighten the bolt. My concern is that the correct van 318/727 throttle rod won't fit the car at all because I think it's one long piece. Hopefully the 904 throttle rod arrangement can be made to work with the 727. All mine have been SB/904 or BB/727 combos. When it holds gear far too long without or before shifting, the throttle rod adjustment is too tight. In other words, the linkage is pushing the throttle lever on the trans too far rearward for the amount of throttle you are giving it so it thinks you are way down on the gas...if that makes sense. Don't run without the throttle rod disconnected, that burns them up quick.

Good to get a 727, though you will have to have your driveshaft shortened if you are going from a 904 to a 727, though there are shorter versions of each.
@auteurfiddler8706 16 күн бұрын
Oh, I got past the part where you put in the van trans. How did it not need to have the driveshaft shortened? The car 904 is about three inches shorter than the car 727, too much to leave to the slip yoke. I am paying to have my drive shaft shortened by 1.6 inches and even that is too much to stuff into the slip yoke.

If it makes you feel better, I once took a Mopar 4 speed out of my GTX to fix a bad throw out bearing. And I could NOT lift it back up. I had not heard of transmission jacks and barely had a pair of jack stands. I tried lifting it up with scrap lumber one two by four at a time. for hours. Finally I had to call a shop and have it towed and done by the shop. And that was when I was in my prime.

"23" is the hard top , "29" is the special roof, in this case the fixed window SE style. What amazes me is that a 318 was put in place of a 400. But a 73 uses a different K member for small blocks and big blocks. So either they modified the K member, switched K members to a small block version, or used some kind of conversion motor mounts that, as far as I know don't exist.
@mr.b2107 Ай бұрын
Wow, are you clueless! It's basically the same k- frame. You just have to use the proper motor mounts. I think on big block motors the mounts might have to be swapped from one side to the other though. Try to believe me because I have done it in the past. The last time I did this, I put a 440 in place of a 360 on a 79 Dodge Magnum, and the only change I had to do was switch the oil pan from a c- body pan to a b-body pan on the 440. And you must be making the mistake of thinking about the slant 6 k-frame. That's the k- frame swap people think they have to do but really it's just the mounting on the driver side of the k- frame that needs to be modified.
@auteurfiddler8706 29 күн бұрын
@@mr.b2107 I'm just going by the Mopar Bible. 72 and older small block and big block K member is the same in B bodies. But 73 to 79, or 81 if you count R body sedans, the small block and big block K members are different. You can see the difference. There are plenty of pictures out there showing the difference. But you can HORSE a big block in a small block car but the engine will be crooked. I will keep an open mind about what you said about swapping the motor mounts (spool type of course) side to side to make it fit. Big block K members go for about 800 dollars around here. Small block K members go for around 200 rust free. Also, I think a C body pan will fit in a B body car, but not the other way around. The C body pan is used in A bodies sometime when converting the to big blocks. A c body needs a pan with a big notch for the steering arm or idler arm.. I forget which. I know I can only turn my 68 300 one way since I used the wrong pan. I was clueless that day.

The weak spot of the small block Mopar of this era is the timing cover. Water passes through it. The passages may rot out and leak water into the engine or on the ground. If it leaks on to the ground it is easy to discover, but not if it leaks into the engine.

@@mr.b2107 It is a big problem. I had one leak in the engine and a different one leak to the outside. The early iron timing covers don't have the problem. Just the aluminum timing cover cars (all mine). The point where aluminum meets iron ( cover meets block) is more prone to galvanic action because of dissimilar metals. But the timing cover to water pump is aluminum to aluminum so it should be less eaten away. The reason people are looking for reproduction timing covers is because of water passage rot and leaks. Welding rod to fill in the eaten up material the machining it flat again is part of the Mopar man's burden. Oh, both my rotted timing covers were used on cars with the correct antifreeze. But they were the original covers and were 30 years old when they leaked. Oh, the one that leaked inside (71 Fury 360) also showed corrosion to the outside, and the one that leaked outside (73 340) also showed corrosion to the inside. So, I replaced rather than have them welded and repaired.

The usual way water gets into the trans is through the radiator if the trans cooler in the bottom rusts out. So, this is not a defect in the trans itself. Also, check that the carb AT shift lever is not in a pushed back position. Also, there are two band adjustments and one of them can be done without dropping the trans pan since it is on the side of the case.

The weak spot of the 318 is the timing cover. It is a cast aluminum piece that goes between the block and the water pump. Water passes through all three in two locations. If that corrodes right where it seals to the block or right where it seals to the water pump, you will lose water into the sump of the engine or squirt it on the ground, respectively. So you will want to inspect that area after you take off the water pump, at least the front.

When you block every vacuum port, it is possible to miss the two most obvious ones. The brake booster and the PCV. I had a brake booster go bad and the car would not idle. I could only drive it home by blocking off the port on the intake. The clue was that the brake pedal went hard as a rock. I have never had a pcv go bad, but it does happen. Also, it can be bad with little way of knowing. The cheap ones sold today at the parts stores are more likely to be bad than 50 year old ones from the factory.

The rear axle on a 400 car in that year is the much desired 8 3/4, which from the rear has a smooth round center section with no bolts showing. The bolts are on the front side near the universal joint. By contrast, the 8 1/4 axle comes on 318 cars. It has a cover held on by bolts and you can see the bolts from the back of the car. Ten bolts I believe.

43:00 If you rotate the distributor the way it rotates, that is delaying the timing. So, in this case the circular arrow points clockwise from the top so to advance it you have to turn it counter clockwise from the top.
@auteurfiddler8706 Ай бұрын
I am going to guess that it was always a 318 car. 73 and newer B bodies use a different K member for small block vs big block and it would be rather difficult to swap between them. Also, the engine appears to be decorated exactly as a 318 would be in 1973. A 318 used a shorter trans which would need a different driveshaft. What is the 5th digit of the vin? Also, every Mopar guy expects to see a fender tag. The Vin is repeated on the bottom row of the fender tag. Glad you got the trunk open without drilling the lock. This car is easy to access the lock by going into the trunk from the back seat, so no need to drill or pound out a lock. And the pins can be swapped around in the trunk and door locks, or , better yet, a new key created by a locksmith. Locksmiths are pretty rare these days, but you might find a real one on line.
