Update - Well - strange thing happened last night, all of a sudden she started to run better and is making no funny noises...So, I went ahead and put in the new fuel pump and sock I had bought last week, figuring what the heck, it'll need it anyways. This morning, fire it up and it has never run better since I got it LOL!!! I guess maybe I put the fear of God in it or something yesterday.

At any rate, I think I may either pick up the other '88 318 or see if I can maybe find an '88 360 to hold in the wings. Meanwhile, since the 360 is free, I think I will pull it from the car it's sitting in and take a look inside of it. Maybe I will take my time and build stroker for some future project

Thanks for all of your help and advice
