I started pulling apart the 318 over the weekend. The broken dipstick tube wouldn't come out with a tap, so I figured I'd pull the oil pan off and push it out from the bottom.
I drained the pan, and found that the contents were half gas, half oil. I can understand why it ran so bad. Pan came off, and I got the dipstick tube out. I took the intake and valve covers off. I wanted to get the #1 piston to TDC before pulling out the distributor. The easy way was going to be to line up the line on the dampner with the indicator, except there wasn't a pointer.
So the question is - for a 318 LA, is there a good site for info, parts, and pictures? I found Mancini Racing,nice parts, but there isn't a whole lot of info there. Or am I in the right place already?
