Where are the fuel filters on a Mopar engine?

With any carbureted fuel system, you should have one or more fuel filters and an electric fuel pump, mounted in the rear ahead of the fuel tank.

What kind of oil pump did the Mopar 400 have?

The engine had a traditional rotary full pressure oil pump, driven by the camshaft; it had a two-plane intake manifold.

What kind of engine does a Dodge 318 have?

Electronic fuel injection finally came to the 318 (and the 3.9 V6 based on it) in the 1988 Dodge trucks (bu tnot cars). This was, in contrast to the Imperial’s system, quite conventional, with a single dual-injector unit in the throttle body (one injector for each bank). Power output rose by a much-needed 20% to 170 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque.

What kind of head does a Chrysler 318 use?

The wedge heads (first used by Chrysler on the B engines) were far smaller, and lighter, than the old Hemi and polyspherical heads (318s with the poly heads are still often called “wide blocks” though the block itself is about the same size as that of the LA 318).
