Man, finding a good machine shop these days is a real pain in the ass, half of them won't even touch older engine work anymore.

Good to hear you got the surging sorted out, a bad distributor will definitely cause all kinds of weird issues like that!

That's a clean looking Ramcharger, the 318 TBI is a solid reliable combo and 63k miles on one of these is hard to find!

Glad the ATF trick worked out, that stuff saves more engines than people give it credit for! I just ordered a bunch of stuff at Car Id for our 5.8L 93 F150. Wife did have lots of questions why am I trying to resurrect this old truck haha

Nice, hard to beat $40 shipped for a solid Melling pump with the pickup tube already on it.

Yeah those reproductions from LMC are pricey but sometimes you gotta bite the bullet if you can't find a decent original to work with.

I'd grab one of those 11-inch kits before July if I didn't just blow my truck budget on a transmission rebuild last month.

That sucks about 1st Brands going under, but $300 shipped is still a pretty decent deal compared to what I've been seeing elsewhere lately.

That's a fair price for a Melling pump, I ran one of those M72s in my 318 for years without any problems.

That 318/NP435 combo is bulletproof - glad you got the title sorted out, those old Dodges are getting harder to find without rust issues.

I think I've got one in my parts pile from an '84 but no clock cutout - shoot me a PM if you're interested.

Hey Mark, try searching eBay or check with a local Cummins dealer - they sometimes have old factory manuals laying around.

Try checking eBay or calling a Dodge dealership parts dept - they might still have some old factory manuals sitting around or can order one for you.

Yeah you'll definitely need a tune for that 410 stroker swap, the stock ECU won't know what to do with the different displacement and cam timing.

Try checking with LMC Truck or Classic Industries, they usually have those backing plates in stock for decent prices.
