that’s the side where the end of the pickup tube would be , you can see it’s a perfect little end cap to stop up any fuel flow when it’s under vacuum.. just sucks right on to the end..

You were right dude, but whenever I looked at the sender I blew through it and it was flowing great and it looked to be in really good condition, it was the design of the sock filter that was stopping everything up when it was under vacuum. I’ll post a pic of it

I have no idea but it has totally stopped bubbling , maybe because it was plugged it was sucking way harder and somehow got through one of the rubber connections

I fixed it !! You’ll never guess what was going on , so first I bought a fuel filter and some nice fuel injection rated hose clamps and about 7 gallons of gas. I took the sending unit out just to inspect it one more time and guess what I discovered … the sock filter on the end of the pickup was...

Okay thanks guys I appreciate how helpful everyone is here , I’ll get some rubber hose when I get my paycheck and see what happens

Ok so I’m gonna check that pickup but I ran a bottle of gas taped to the grille going straight to pump and it worked fine no stalling no nothing ……. I am just gonna be so so confused if the pickup isn’t damaged because I am so sure the line isn’t leaking from any of the connections ….. we’ll see...

Oh okay thank you I’ll take a look at it soon maybe tonight or tomorrow

Not the original sender it’s a whole new tank and sender I was considering bending the pickup tube down farther to see if it made any difference . I don’t have a pic of it right now and I can’t get under there today I have to run some errands, but yes the thing is new and shiny and not broken

Yes and it’s coming from all the way back at the tank . I temporarily installed some clear rubber connections so I could see where the problem was.

What I mean is there’s bubbles coming through the pickup tube into the fuel line from the tank when the car is running

Hey quick question I have this posted on another thread but I’m getting bubbling out of my tank at the pickup tube , I took the thing off and it’s super shiny and nice inside no rust or anything looks to be completely intact is there any reason this could happen other than 5 gallons of gas just...

Yeah was just curious not looking to sell it anytime soon

Thanks Ill give that a try , but it is not the original tank and also one more thing: if that piece is not soldered correctly how would that make the pickup tube leak? If the tube is one solid piece and is just held in place by that connection why would the tube itself leak ? Maybe I’m...

Thanks , i believe that’s what the paperwork says but then it throws in the “if it was a 2 door it was one of 3 if it was 4 door it was one of six” .what could they have been talking about ? Maybe because it didn’t have power steering or something idk Im not much of a car guy but I’m enjoying...

Okay now I’m pretty confused , I temporarily replaced the rubber connections with some clear plastic hose just to see where the bubbles are coming from and at first no bubbles came up so I thought I was good. I took it for a drive and it sounded a lot better when I gave it some gas , but after...

Kinda wigged me out looking at someone’s handwriting from 1964. Also why is the date on The doors 5 days later than the assembly date on the VIN? Could there be any interesting reason they were behind schedule or is this common ?

Also another question: I was taking the door panels off to spray some wd-40 in the window crank mechanisms because they were all a little sticky . I was looking at the panels wondering what the markings other than the date meant ?

@toolmanmike thanks dude this stuff is really interesting to me can’t wait to see what comes up

Hi everyone, When I bought my dart the guy who sold it to me made claims that it was very rare and there were at most 6 of them made to these particular specifications , I have pictures of the paperwork he gave me as well as I’ll post a pic of the VIN for you guys to look at.. does anyone know...

If I just blow into the line will that somehow Not make enough pressure to identify a leak with the soapy water method? I don’t have a compressor or bike pump or anything to use

No I haven’t tried that yet but that’s next on my list , I’ll let you know how it goes thanks

So I threw a new fuel line on and still bubbling .. I figured the line might be getting too hot and boiling the gas because there’s a point where it gets real close to the exhaust manifold so I bought some heat insulation shroud stuff from Orielly’s, put it on where I thought it’d be getting too...

Thanks everyone I’ll keep u guys updated on how it goes

Dang lots of advice here thanks I appreciate it everyone . Oh and I don’t think it’s the fuel pump because I had just replaced that . But yeah somewhere in between the fuel pump and the tank I guess .. it could even be the connection where the filter is it looks kinda janky but I don’t think...

Fuel line is bubbling air into the filter and won’t fill up enough to stay running or even start half the time .. what’s the best method to find the leak ? Btw I have a 65 dart

Hey thanks guys sorry haven’t been online in a while but I’ve figured out it’s a fuel problem. I replaced the points with a pertronix ignitor and then I realized that the fuel line is bubbling air into the filter and it’s not filling up the filter enough . Any advice on the best way to find the...

Hey everyone , just got my dart a couple months ago and I found this site . Figured I should join cause I don’t know a whole lot about cars and I’m gonna be asking lots of questions . I’m pretty mechanically inclined so I know I can figure stuff out if someone explains it . Basically the thing...
