'59 Plymouth Forum

Hola Guy

In you search for some "Poly Valve Springs" did the parts clerk tell ya The Valve Springs are also the same ones later used in/ with
LA-273's. LA-318, LA-340's and LA-360.

This is why they were "found" for $2 each.

Mark Only take this as an $$$ hint. The A-318 engine is just an engine. This means it is nothing special to do for several Milk Crate's of A-318 items are the same part number used in LA-318's to LA-360's. The Local High School Auto Shop can do the same Engine Repair and Assembly as Ed's Speed Shop ...

Hola Again

Is it easier to use an 1962 - 1965 Transmission/ Torque Convertor to the 1974 LA-318 ??? ***************************************...

Hello Class

This will be like on of those "Ask The Expert's Question".

In 1959 The Dodge Sales Brochures state The Ramfire 326
has 255 HP @ 4400 RPM's ( using the Carter AFM ). Did
this really happen or was it an marketing dream ?
