You might want to change to Autolite 3923 plugs. I don't know what Tom ( I
guess I can ask him, I'll be seeing him next week anyway) has done to your
timing and what type of fuel you're using. If you're not already at 91+
octane you may want to step up a grade. An aftermarket coil (MSD or Accel)
and/or ignition system (MSD 6A) may help as well.

Subject: DML: 318/360 Swap
I basically have a stock truck except for the following mods:
-Powerdyne 6PSI kit.
-180 stat.
- Computer programmed for 6psi boost from Mike Leach Company. (They are the
folks that generate the HP PCM's for MOPAR)
Talk to Tom if interested (714)-639-5220. $550.00
(Computer mod increases shift points from 4800 to 5200 RPM, Increases rev
limiter to 6000, top speed removed, and better fuel mapping as you require
supercharged or not.)
-Clear Corners
-Xenon Bulbs
Mods on the way:
-F&B Throttle Body
-Mopar Headers
-Hi-Flow Cat
-Cat Back- Not sure which one yet. Considering Bassani Stainless Steel.
Not sure where to go from here.
The SC made a huge difference. I have not had it at a track but I lay a
strip of rubber, bigtime.
I am experiencing some pinging at around 4000+ but I think the computer
needs to be "trained" a bit still.
Looking to basically have SLT/RT I guess.
All the current mods should bolt on to the 360 but I am not familiar with
the older engines.
Thanks for your reply.
Regarding:
Supercharge it. You'll get more power and it'll be much easier on your life.
I'm working a 360 swap now but if I had an 8cyl to begin with I wouldn't
even
consider swapping...especially with 318 Dak's running 11's.
