I have a 318 engine and I am putting an M1 dual plane intake on it. There are some parts that won't swap over. The water neck does not fit. There are no holes for the dish looking part with a tube coming out of the top. The 2 little parts in the front with red arrows right by the thermostat, what are they called? Do I need to order different parts or do they just not go on there? Sorry for the stupid questions, this is my first time installing an intake. If you have any pics of a 318 with a dual plane intake please post them

This is a pic of the new intake where the part with the wire coming out the top should go. It doesn't fit. What should I do?

you have an electric choke so the pocket on the pass side will be left as is & nothing added to it. the dished item on dr side is an egr valve and in front the coolant activated valve w the 2 plastic nipples both will not be used. the water nipple next to the plastic valve is the hot coolant outlet to the heater core water inlet nipple on the firewall(usually the outside one but not always) and if your orig stat housing has the bolt spacing too wide for your new intake you need a magnum tstat housing and thermostat. I have a good used one(housing) you can have just cover the shipping.

Ok so if I am reading this correctly you are saying that the things circled in green are not used? What about the things circled in red?

PS: check your pm box

Assume you realize there will be a considerable port mismatch if you are using the stock 318 heads.

green not used,(1)red is used(the nipple) & as Stumpy said get a new MP nipple(has the lip on the end) or get a nipple(3/8 npt I believe)at your hardware store & cut it slightly longer than the orig nipple so you can use 2 hose clamps(works for me). Got your PM & I will go grab my housing later today & send a pic & I'd measure the C to C of your tstat housing bolt holes in your new intake.

I am using the stock heads. From what I understand an M1 dual plane intake fits fine on a 318. Or am I wrong?

It fits, but the ports on the heads will be quite a bit smaller. it will be ok and you will get the four barrel expierience , but not optimal for maximum performance.
