Re: A little crazy?

I also did end up moving the helm bulkhead forward 18 inches, shortening up my cabin. All so I could install another 130 gallon fuel tank. Bringing my total capacity to 280 gallons.

Re: Chrysler 318 Oil Pan Gasket

Try to contact Lakeland Auto and Marine in Port Clinton Ohio. From the videos I have seen on YouTube, he has rebuilt a fair amount of Chrysler engines and should have a source. He does great work from what I have watched!

I would bet that there is a wiring problem or just a bad alternator, new or not. I installed a pair of one wire Arco brand alternators on a set of 318 ...

Re: Ignition wiring

You can try to look through old posts if anyone had a diagram. I would like to help, but I haven't come across any in my travels.

Re: Thermostat housing

It is located at the top front of the engine right in front of the carb. Pull the hoses off, and remove the bolts. You may need to tap it with a hammer or such to get it to pop free. There should be a gasket there also.
