I've got none of that later model features you mention in my 67. It was really hot yesterday, probably compared to when I filled up. And, I did notice the vent tube restriction and bad rubber connection when I worked on it today. That's why I fixed those things. I will also keep the gas cap...

Mine didn't have any check valve either. And there was a pretty significant restriction at the top of the vent tube rubber connector up high on the filler tube. So, I opened that up a bit, as I assume that would still pass gas just fine - just like I do! :) That short rubber hose connector up...

Would be an easy fix. When the tank is near empty, and with the filler cap/door open a while, you just have to "tap" a small fitting into the top of the filler tube to accommodate a short rubber hose connector and a small fuel-type line that you run to where you want the gas to vent to.

Yup! Thx. Before I saw your post, I cleaned up the vent tube, replaced the rubber hose connector to the fill tube, and rerouted it as in your figure 2. On my 67, there is a large rectangular gasket at where the filler tube goes through the trunk floor. Towards the center line in that gasket...

Yup! That's standard plumbing code here too - up with the tank.

Was a new tank. But you are correct in that I always try to "completely" fill my tanks when I gas up. This is the first time I've EVER had this issue with any of my cars. The applicable service manuel is not Barracuda specific. It's an A-Body manual. That has consequences, in that start at...

Will the little problems PLEEEEEASE stop mounting up????? :rolleyes: I was about to comment that it hadn't gotten all that hot yet in Oklahoma....BUT...... TODAY IT HIT 100 degrees F! I went out into the garage after dinner, greeted by the strong smell of gasoline! First thought was my new...

Looking for this Cooper GT Radial with raised white letters to fit better in the front of my 67 Barracuda. I found one on eBay; and need one more. Please post, even if you see one at a flea market or Swap Meet!

Great idea. I hadn't even thought of that!

Thanks anway. I got lucky and found a good video, that even explains what to if the aftermarket outside handle levers are longer than OEM, or off angle.

Are you sure you linked the correct story? Most all that was about the doors and hinges. I did find a good video on YouTube though. I'll probably tackle the non-driver door handle first.

Yup! The saga continues.... Got the last 2 wheels today and took them down immediately Yup! An little passenger side rub on turn here too. The saga continues...... While I was waiting for the last 2 new 14 inch AR wheels to arrive, I cleaned up the rust and peeling in the rain gutter...
