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

    Pretty much all cars. Worst is winter fuel on a hot day. Look up "winter fuel RVP". Although what we're seeing when liquid fuel forces out is probably not the RVP directly, but regardless it expands. ^^This^^ The vent line goes back into the fuel fill. The flip cap itself should allow some...

    How important is 1psi of fuel pressure?

    You'll know its a problem when you lift off the throttle cruising on the interstate. For racing in particular there are advantages to running lower pressures during flow (your measurement is the no - flow pressure). Lower pressure can mean more flow into the bowl and less aeration. This means...

    Tell me about your ballast resistor failure.

    Good question. If we knew what year, there's probably a bulletin. My initial guess would be lean burn, but you say its the same p/n, which would certainly be changed with a new design.

    More flexible . Its used for packing dishes when moving but it shows up sometimes in shipping things - I just don't remember what. Before DMT, before Schumacher, some gaskets like that were pretty impossible to find precut and ready to go. You what its similar to? The foam gasket behind the...

    The styrafoam ones? I've used - wait for it - thin styrafoam sheets from packing.

    Stopped by the garage this morning to do some investigation. Looks to me like the damage is because the rubber connection isn't strong enough. The oil and ATF may not have helped but the interior is dry (not gooey). Gooey and slimy are technical terms - yes? In this floppy disk camara...

    Buy em from places that sell for printing. I've bought Gildens pocket tees that way last two times I needed.

    H'm. They have polyurethane conformal coatings... I've been looking at a 2 part polyureythane from Mcmaster ($155) or Permatex 82099 spray (mail order from 'zon or zorro, not stocked locally)

    any ideas what this wire is for

    Skimming back through your posts @canajien this is a modified '71 Duster. Can't help with the mods but can get you on a footing to understand the factory system. Old school underdash gage sets often included an ammeter, but not common now, and you certainly don't need or want two. I find it...

    Ideally. Yes!!!! The engine I got the drain plug sealed, but still have some leaking further back when running - possibly the back of the valve covers but probably the rear main seal (yea - practically new engine) grrr. The transmission fluid I can't figure where its mostly coming from. A...

    Feel like I'm wasting a ton of time. I'm going to look at the failed mount more closely to see if my theory that oil and ATF is damaging the rubber is likely on right track. Permatex makes a spray sealer (RTV ?) that maybe would be a decent oil resistant coating.

    All I wanted was transmission mount that didn't fail in 3 years. Figured polyu was more oil resistant than rubber. Now looking for some sort of oil resistant coating for the rubber mount. Found some expensive products in McMaster. One is a PVC coating and another is a 2 part Poly urethane.

    I thought this polyurethane mount was going to work out, but nooooooo Even after removing the "preload" plate from the top, it sits too high after weight is on it and the bolts are tightened. I bolted the torque strap down so its very pre-loaded. It works but I'm not happy with it.

    The you have to use the three prong connector plug. They come in several flavors too.

    Yes they do. And they told him when he called and asked. So the one you bought must be for another application - possibly pushbutton Chrysler. Ask A&A if they have one for '67. That's the simplest route. Or post here in the wanted section. or look up the p/n for 67 and search for that

    Battery shorting killed all power

    Its hard to follow when you write killed power but everything in the engine bay is OK. Tell us how you determined things are OK, and how you determined there is power at the bulkhead. The 1975 main power circuit is a little different than other years. If you are using a voltmeter...

    ^^Do what kendog posted^^ Ground that terminal, or take the NSS wire's terminal to the NSS and clip that to ground. Make sure the selector is in Park. Turn the key and if the starter cranks then you know the relay wasn't getting grounded. Horn is power is joined to the main circuit at the...

    Always a job that I don't look forward to. Here's the mounting. Decided to work torque strap, exhaust, then bottom to top as much as possible to keep the weight on it.
