Looks like I may have connected it a bit wrong after replacing the tank and the FSM is a little unclear. If you have a picture of how they're supposed to be run, let me know.
Anyone have a picture of the fuel filler vent line routing in the trunk?

I can get pictures of my 63 install when I get home from work. I installed mine wrong the first time I reinstalled it.
Wagon’s are different than sedans/hardtops/‘verts
In your 66 sedan?
67 dart convert.

My cousin crashed a Spitfire in the Egyptian desert flying low. Probably not that low until just touching down. Low enough, though, that when the engine stalled while he was switching fuel tank feed there wasn't enough altitude to restart the engine.

Correct, this is my 1966 Dart sedan.
I did at one point own a Spitfire, but of the Triumph variety.

^^They are incredibly simple. A fitting welded into the filler tube connects with the vent tube, which goes up high against the rear fender top surface, makes a "U" and feeds down along the filler tube and through a hole in the trunk floor gasket. It terminates, open, inside the frame.
what you are doing, by running it up high, is if it is ever so full, such as full up into the filler neck, and parked "that side down" on a hill, the fuel might actually expand and siphon. but as soon as it removes enough to break air into the filler neck, that breaks the siphon

Op hadn't said what car so 67dart273 was poking a bit at the op to provide the needed info.
All in good fun!

As promised. I don't have the clip that goes over the pinch weld on the wheel well installed yet in these pictures. At the top there is a clip similar to the ones that hold the fuel line under the car. You can kinda see it in the first picture
Well I had the trunk open but no cell phone for a photo. Sorry, I can't help.
THat's a 63 not a 66.

Yes, I stated that earlier. Didn't know if it was the same as a 66, but I posted in case it was

I just googled it and looks like the 66 is the same in all the pictures I can find unless it's a convertible

When you have to explain the joke it's really not that funny..
