1967 Dodge Dart 270
Replaced the sending unit last Thursday and drove her to work on Friday, then again on Tuesday. I have some bugs that need to be worked out. First, the fuel gauge doesn't work. Then the valve train is making noise. I will probably check that out this weekend. I am hoping it is something simple like you should go back over the preload after 50 miles or something like that. My last carb tune took it from really lean to a bit rich so I picked up an AFR gauge to help with further tuning. The biggest problem I have, and I am still researching how to approach this one is the transmission is starting out in second gear. Reverse works just fine and manual 1 still starts in second. I was not aware that you have to check the trans fluid level in neutral and have been checking it in park. I am hoping it is just a low level thing. If not then it is likely my 1-2 shift valve is stuck in the 2 position. That will be a "fun" fix. I am still tickled she is back on the road though. =) This is her in the parking lot at work last week.
