Firing Up The 318 Again 

That's not just a 318, it's a 318 poly.

Good ol poly 318s. My 66 fury had that with the bendix stromberg 2bbl. Not much in the ways of power but damn it ran forever and sounded so good through those flowmasters. I miss that car...

Great video. Makes me feel like I'm in my own garage!!

i have a 1969 dodge a108. with a 318, it sat for 20 years, it started right up

I hate seeing sparks flying around on top of a battery but with that starter it was the only way to get it cranking fast enough!

Chrysler starter........ no no no no no no no no. Nothing like a good ole 318 though.

My dad had a '66 dodge with one of these engines in it. One of the first engines I turned a wrench on...

Had one in my 1974 Plymouth Satellite .Too bad the body and back frame rotted out and got rid of it to the junk yard for parts for my Chevy Caprice wagon..The 318 still ran great when I dumped it.

Assuming you did a compression check and it passes, the carburetor may need to be rebuilt as it has been sitting for years. Doesn't look like the choke is working and you are trying to start it cold. Check for vacuum leaks once you get it running. Replace the points, condenser and rotor if they are not new.

Great video

sometimes when they sit they need alot of cranking , because rust builds up around the valves and the compresion is low . cranking settles the valves back in

That is a cranky 318 I had one of these in 12th grade in H.S. My Aunt gave me her old car. Mine was not that hard to start.

Sounds Good Although I May add....Considering What It Came From I'd Say Good job

ye old polysphere mopar 318...sweet!

is the 318 magnum a tuff motor and is the bottom end strong

She's a runner. Just needs a little attention.

Nice good video

My Poly smokes like crazy out the passenger side exhaust once in warms up, but no smoke for the first couple minutes. Wonder why.

What size bolt is that to crank it?

What size bolt is on that breaker bar
