I bought a camera on a long cable, 15 ft I think. Not able to find the leak. But, when I lay in the car, and my lovely wife shower the car on the left side of the windshield, air openings for the heater, it finally starts dripping in that little space behind the kick panel on the left side. It...

No, unfortunately not.

I have been slow. The Owatrol oil did not fix the leak, and after a long time, wondering what to do, and what not to. Even considering selling the car, I sprayed some undercoating into the cowl. Still leaking. More frustration, and even closer to giving up. But, like a week ago or maybe a bit...

Yesterday I sprayed Owatrol oil into the entire cowl. I thought it maybe would take days to dry, but it is dry already. The heat is obviously helping compared to like 50-60 degrees. Some of the oil had been dripping out on the concrete under the car, so I need to wire brush that off. Other than...

Howdy. Well, I need my little lathe too up and running for making some parts for the car. But, it will come, a little by little. I also changed oil for the first time, but I did not have a socket to replace the oil lamp sender which is not working. Went to town, but no one had it. Probably need...

Toolmanmike, go to this link for pics of the gas cap. My second 1965 Dodge Dart. Bill

Well, it is a long time since I posted anything here. Not going into details now about why, but it has not been anything to post. More or less. Anyway, last weekend I had a very bad leak from my gas tank, in 110 degrees. It smelled gas, and my wife told me to move my car out in the street. I am...

Problem solved. I took off the little hose in the trunk, where the tube is connected to the filler neck. and connected my blow gun t the tube, and thought to myself that if it is plugged, it will shoot whatever is plugging it inside the tank, and having the cap off as suggested, it will not blow...

Yes, there is a tube, it comes out on top of the filler tube, 1/4" or so, then a little rubber hose, and a new tube that goes up around where the left trunk lid hinge is, and then finds it's way down and into the gas tank where the filler tube goes in. So, I assume that is connected to the tank...

Hello everybody. We had some really hot days here like a week ago or whatever, 110, and the Dart that was sitting outside the house started to smell gas. Started the car, drove out of the driveway to place it out in the street, and suddenly I see a wet and shiny spot that would have been under...

No, not planning to tow the Grand Marquis. I just wondered what the law says, if it is legal to use the 2000 lbs trailer that I am normally using behind the Grand Marquis also on the Dart, which only can tow 1500 lbs. The Grand Marquis I sort of am not too fond of, and at some point will have to...

The country is Norway. Unless you have a special trailers drivers license, you can not pull a trailer that has Gross trailer weight rating over what the car is approved for, even if it is empty and a lot under what the car can tow. But, if you have such a trailers drivers license, you can tow a...

Hm........ I guess I did not get any wiser from all this. Highway Patrol next... Bill

It says 2000 lbs Gross, and 1450 lbs payload, so I assume the empty weight is 550 lbs. It has a 5x8 feet bed. It looks more or less like the one in the link below, not the same brand though...

Hello, Let us say that I have a Mercury Grand Marquis (2000 lbs towing capacity), and a 1965 Dodge Dart (1500 lbs towing capacity), and a utility trailer with a 2000 lbs GTWR, can I tow that behind the Dart even if I keep the load under 1500 lbs, or even haul the trailer empty? I am asking, a)...
