Update for any future readers. I found the problem. After trying the suggestions here with no luck, I ended up removing the fuel bowl and accelerator pump diaphragm... And found out that I never installed the orange rubber flap style check valve into the accelerator pump passage. My original...

I did as you said to adjust the float, when I first opened the sight the fuel was pouring out, after about 4 adjustments I opened it and a tiny drop came out and when I hip checked the fender some sloshed out. I think my next step in troubleshooting is to check the accelerator pump adjustment...

It's a very interesting car. It feels like nothing is original and finding parts can be difficult at times but I think that's half the fun. It's a Dart 270 with a 318 swapped in at some point, the previous owner left a piece of paper in it with the mods he made to it... 323 Sure Grip Diff...

Thanks! I'll check it out

Thanks for pointing out all those things and giving me some info I can research into! The kickdown linkage, is that required with a manual transmission? I will look into the bypassed vacuum line too.

I replaced both diaphragms, neither arm was bent, it's possible that I knocked into one when I was tightening down the carb and pushed it out of place. I will check that out.

Hey guys, I have a 67 Dart with a 318 in it. It's my first classic car and I'll start from the beginning for some context. I recently had an accelerator pump diaphragm leak. I have very little carburetor experience but decided to tackle it myself. Unfortunately a previous owner at some point...

Yes, sorry for confusing wording. There was a second fuse block I had installed in the engine bay because whoever installed the gauges and new sterio just ran the wires to the original fuse box and jammed the wires beside existing fuses, but when the new fuse block was wired up, the ground was...

Since this was bumped, the fix for my situation was that under the dash, some of the wiring to the aftermarket gauges was loose and poorly run, and there were some crispy wires under the dash that were replaced (fuel gauge works now!), and what I think was the biggest problem was the ground on...

Ok this is gonna be a long one... So I put the alternator back on, but had to run out to the auto parts store this morning and asked the guy about a new VR. $14.99 Hell yeah, why not. So picked up a new VR. Got home and ran some voltage tests as suggested... Battery - 12.7 V Battery at idle -...

Yeah, when taking off the alternator I wasn't thinking and popped the tab off, its been put back on :), good catch though!

Looks like I have a lot more diagnosing to do, I appreciate all the quick responses! Looks like I'm gonna have to slap that alternator back on and get back to you guys!

Looks the same, should I start with replacing the regulator then?

To answer all your questions. 67 Dodge Dart 270 318 engine Engine swap would be heaviest mod, I have only had the car for a month, so it has an aftermarket tach, an after market gauge cluster with temp, volts and oil pressure and a modern radio installed. All run to a new fuse block. Oh and it...

I can trace the wiring to here before I "lose" it into the other wiring.
