Well, I got home last night and checked my truck's "check engine" light. It didn't even come on. Thank goodness, there were no error codes.
I also poured water into the coolant. The temperature guage was real hot then real cold and real hot..etc. I drove it for about 15 miles, and it evened out right in the middle of 130 and 210. Then I shut her off. About 10 minutes later I started her up again, and the temp fluctuated again. Well, this morning I decided to drive the beast to work. The temperature never moved past half way between 130 and 210. It stayed put the whole way.
The spark knock only happened a little this morning, and I think it will go away after a few drives. My commute to work is about 60 miles, and I only heared the knock twice It was because I was trying to make it knock. It was much harder to make it knock this time, than before I fixed the plenum. I can't wait to see how it holds up, and if my oil consumption is taken care of.
Thanks to all for your help and suggestions.
Ya'll are going to laugh at this, but it took me 16 hours to replace that little gasket. The most frustrating part of the whole job was scraping off the old gasket from the plenum pan, and tightening up so many bolts 1-2 foot pounds at a time. I took my time, and made sure to do things right though. I've never done anything more than an oil, tires, or brakes change by myself. I learned alot about my 318 though, and really enjoyed the project. Next I have to replace my A/C. Any ideas where I could get a good compressor/clutch for a real good price?

Try eBaymotors.com. Sometimes you'll find stuff on there. If not there a local junk yard will probably have a dodge truck lying around somewhere. And then you could always pay top-dollar for one at an auto parts store or through mopar.
