Hello from Alberta! I am a first time owner of a 1st gen dodge. After having a few 2nd gens, I finally found a clean 1st gen and pulled the trigger last summer on "Moe". Truck is a 1982 W250, with the 318/Auto. Originally came from Sask from what I was told. Between the P.O and myself she has a rebuilt front end, suspension, rear end, lighting and some steering upgrades. Motor from what I can tell is stock, has a 4/5" lift, new ORB wheels and rubber, exhaust was swapped for dual mufflers dumped behind cab. Interior is mostly stock, has a super duty retrofit panel for all lighting, retro Bluetooth radio, and some small upgrades. Truck came with a sunroof (assuming its aftermarket), looks good and seals perfectly. Overall truck is in great shape, and runs like a top.
My winter plans are to install an upgraded brake setup, and then I would like to add a little more grunt. I was hoping someone may have some advice on a carb/intake combo that would suit the truck well, and add a little power. I have some long tubes going in this winter as well. I have looked online at Summit and other places, but I dont have any experience picking the proper intake and carb for a 318.
Looking forward to digging deeper into her this winter, and meeting some fellow owners. TIA!
