More detailed info: when did it start, any part changes preceding it acting up, was it right at one time. You're in the right forum unless you're saying you had a prior thread on this somewhere else & I doubt if the mods will move it, we'll fix it for you!

big vacum leak
No doubt!!! Also check throttle plates and rod bushings... shoot some WD40 in the bushing sides if it revs.... they're toast.

Change the intake gaskets & get the composition ones & use Permatex "high tack" the red stuff in a spray can & use a thick/wide carefully placed swath of clear silicone on the front/rear rails in place of the gaskets letting it sit up overnight as the supplied front/rear gaskets can be too thick but if a massive vac leak it'd have to be an intake/head interface gasket/alignment prob I'd think

The engine has never run correctly.
Might switch gears & check true TDC on the dampener & dont remem if you mentioned what it is timed at. rotor phasing acceptable. EGR closed. Kind of WAG ing here. I enjoy 318's, wish I was closer to give you a hand
We verified tdc and degreed the cam to make sure everything was correct. Plus it was a good learning experience for my son. :-)
The timing is set at 18 degrees btdc. There is no egr.
Not sure about rotor phasing but I forgot to mention that we tried both a rebuilt stock distributor and a MP unit. Made no difference.
We've spent so much trying new parts that I guess we should have just bought a crate motor. :-(
Thanks again for the help. Ken

If you cover the carb on a running engine, it should die, right? The 318 in our 73 Duster will keep running when we cover the carb with a cloth.
CLOTH? gonna keep running. The cloth is essentially an air filter.
I used a shop rag with my hands over it just to be sure. I'm fairly certain no air was getting into the top of the carb. :-)
