    1967 Plymouth Barracuda - Fuel tank not vented properly??????

    no check valve. You seem to have a vent system that is older than your car. up through 1970 the vent was simple and ended inside the rear frame rail. it is actually design not to vent anything out of the tank, but rather let air into the tank to balance the fuel being pumped out. 1970 CA cars...

    Kickdown issue

    OP - how many rods in your kickdown system? The thing that really has me puzzled is that everyone is giving you solutions to make sure that the lever on the trans is all the way back at WOT, but you are already achieving that, right? I agree with you - the issue isn't in the linkage. If the...

    Who's running the same size tires front and rear

    OP - I hear your issue, I just approached the spare need in a different way. 245-60-14 in back and 205-70-14s in the front. The tires are the almost same height due to difference in profile. This also makes the fronts and backs look the same when viewed from the side of the car. Then I found...

    First Drag strip visit

    The traction was so much better there back in the day that the Ramchargers would travel to Cecil County to set records so Dodge could use the publicity to hawk their cars.

    Carlisle Chrysler Nationals 2024 Tent Activities

    Just got my entry package and looked at the map. The relative locations of the old vehicles (A, B, E, C) had been the same every year since my first visit to Carlisle in 1998, BUT NOT ANY MORE!!!. As you look at the show field from the grandstands, A bodies have shifted all the way to the...

    Thanks for all your work on this, Hawk! If you need help with anything please post a request here. I can't believe that after all these years they have moved the locations of the various cars around! Did they send you a list of classes with numbers for location?

    Voltage regulator

    Since you have been fiddling with the VR and then it runs for a while, then dies - the VR grounds through the bolts that hold it in place. If you move it around it may restore the ground for a bit, then fails. Take the VR off and make bare metal contact between the back of the VR around the...

    I'm new to the group and looking for help with a restore.

    A pair of tail light lenses that fit and work cost around $100. I would suggest that you try Van's Auto Parts - same lenses for a bit better price. The pattern in the available lenses are a bit different than a Scamp - they are repops of 1970 Dart lenses. No one repops the Scamp lenses.

    Changing the rear quarters on my Dart conv. from a 69 to a 70

    no reason to get into the wheel wells. Make the grafting easy on yourself and find the easiest place to do the work inside the trunk and go from there. Fortunately all the factory cars had rough sound deadener sprayed inside the trunk on the quarters, so that makes the cosmetic part a lot...

    ...or the opposite - make the bend point the filler neck toward the back. Don't the wheel wells flare out and give you more room in that direction???

    Filler tube replacement 65 Barracuda

    It is a vent INTO your gas tank. When your fuel pump pumps gas out of the tank it has to be replaced by air or either the tank would implode or the fuel would stop leaving the tank. I presume that your gas cap is not vented, correct? It would have a one way valve on the inside of the cap if it was.
