I forgot to add that in my experience, a carbed 318 will ALWAYS run, but almost never run really well. I own/owned 4 318 2bbls. I have never had any real trouble with the engines on any. They will start no matter what, however, they don't get such hot mileage and they aren't very quck. Had a lot of trouble with the idle and choke settings, etc. These were generally low compression motors from the dark ages of auto engineering. They will get you where you're going though. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Toolbar provides one-click access to Hotmail from any Web page – FREE download! http://toolbar.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200413ave/direct/01/
