im pretty sure its an inline fuel filter but i cant find any filters with the inlet and outlet pipes...
 
There are actual inline late model A/T transmission inline filters. Saturn's used one, possibly some Saabs. I do know : Wix, A.T.P transmission parts, actually offer universal inline transmission filters. All you would need, is a inlet/outlet I.d. rubber line size. A good parts guy, can find it easily. (Personally, a fuel filter here, is obviously wrong on the application.)
 
Follow the hose. Looks like someone added an extra fuel filter. Very common add on back when ethanol was introduced and loosened up all the debris in fuel tanks. You can buy that at any auto store.
 
hahaha its funny cause i work at napa (for 2 month now) and the best parts guy in the valley cant find another one like it or even guess what it is...
 
It looks like it's been there awhile. Possible factory piece.
 
That is a fuel filter, and if those clamps are the crimp style it's probably the factory unit.
 
anyone happen to know a part number or description? i could look it up tomorrow at work!

A parts guy , to a new parts guy : Do the research , you will learn from it...(Here's a scary thought... , pull it off, match it up, physically)..:???:
 
Ive seen that part.Ima racking my brain but coming up short. Notice the vertical orientation.
Ima guessing roll-over-shut -off valve?if its in the fuel supply line. Or, if its in a vent line, a pressure relief valve/anti-siphon device.
My powers of recall are failing me on this one. I know Ive seen it before but........
 
What exact year Dart is this please? Hard to help without that info.

1. Trace the line forward to see if it goes to the fuel pump. If so, does the pump have a 3rd line?
2. Pull off the line and see if you can blow through it freely in both directions, rightside up and upside down.
 
in the early 60s chrysler did put a filter inline on new Yourkers. 61-64? no hose. they used the std thread flare fitting.
 
Just a guess, but that looks more like some sort of one-way check valve to me. Something to do with evaporative emissions control maybe?

I'm thinking the same thing. Factory style crimp clamps. Willing to bet it's on a vent line for tank. Probably a mini seperorator so fuel does not travel down line in case of tank overfilling or fast cornering with tank full. Check the evaporative section of Manual to see if it's there.
 
As an old Mopar parts guy to parts guys, lets begin with the basics,
Year, Make and Model.

Nooooooooooooo. That would make it too easy!

The car is:
1976 Dart, 225ci 1bbl 6 cyl 145hp, 7 Blade Torque Drive Fan, Light Duty 904 3 speed TorqueFlite Automatic Transmission , Front Disc Brakes w/Standard 10" rear Drum, bench seat,Roof drip rail moldings, Wide sill moldings, 2 Door high class Hardtop, number 130412 of darts made in Newark, Delaware USA. order number 81664
 
See, here's one although not exactly the same orientation.
This one is a 90 degree, and the OP has a 180.

"Roll over shutoff" LOL :D

I'd do away with it. Pull it off, put a straight one, or just use a piece of steel tubing (5/16) with a barb on each end. That way you don't have to get under there and replace it every so often. Use a filter just before the carb.
 
Nobody has even figured out for sure what it is yet, and heres a guy willing to cut it out and replace it with something that may not even perform the same function.
I tell you what doctor, how about we cut out your liver and replace it with,oh,say, an appendix. or spleen. or anything else, cause we are sure thats what you need in there.
 
Don't remove it, you need it!
Not a filter, P/N 4002012 Valve, Roll Over.
Odd place for it, but considering 74 and older didn't have them, count yourself in an elite group.
Unless it's leaking, leave it be. They're NS1 (obsolete) from Chrysler and I wouldn't change it for the sake of changing it.
Year, Make and Model. Basics, guys, basics!

Well now, it looks like I owe AJFormS and oppology for laughing at his take on it. :D

Nice call AJ.

A roll over valve, amazing.
 
I'm of the same opinion leave it alone . Chrysler never fitted a petrol filters under the car.
 
TB
thanks for the vote of confidence, but if you recall, I wasnt real sure about it. It was a long time ago. I was 20, in 73. Theres over 40 years of cobwebs up in the old noggin.
 
That was super easy to figure out once I had basic info. The picture helped a ton.
I just went to a 76 car catalog and there it was.
Granted, I'm in a unique position, I have access to Mopar catalogs all the way back to the 50's.
