This is my 1985 w150 power ram prospector with the 318 in it. Any suggestions to give it more power? It has the stock intake and carb on it and its kind of turdy. It seems like it should have more power. Also, if I remove the smog pump and charcoal box will it free up the engine a bit more?

 

Your truck does not have a 302, it has a 318.

Besides that confusion, just start replacing worn out stuff: spark plugs, distributor cap and rotor, wires. Once that is checked out, do a compression test to see if the engine is even worth messing with.

 

the eighties were the best, dodge was easy to work on yourself with no computer jargon

 

I know it has a 318. I allways accidentaly type 302 for somereason. I allready took off the smog pump and charcoal box, I have the bed off, im going to run metal fuel line and check out the sending unit on the gas tank.

 

What is the cheapest 4 barrel intake and carb i can get for this? I really need to open it up.Its kind of turdy.

 

VVVVVVVVV
Do that first.

 

So there is a fuel inlet that also has the gas guage float that sits on top of the gas tank. The metal line rusted through and now it leaks everywhere when you start is. What is this peice called!!!!!!

 

I agree, and +1 on what dodgedude said, I would do the same. has the truck been sitting or has it been a daily driver?
