Here's what the sending unit on my 65 Dodge Dart looked like a fews years ago. I ended up replacing the tank and the sending unit, needless to say. The gas had gone to varnish. Good luck with your car! Glenn

Would have been better to have pulled the sending unit out with an empty tank. You could have checked the insides of the tank as well as the condition of the sending unit. If the needle on your gas gauge doesn't seem to move you should also check for a grounding strap that connects on the...

Got the 'rebuild kit' from Mikes yesterday. That was fast! Glenn

Looks like I'm going to rebuild my Model 1920 Holley one-barrel carburetor for my 1965 Dart (slant 6, 225). Is there a good brand of cleaner to soak the carb in to get it clean before I re-assemble it with replacement parts? Glenn

Left an email with Mikes Carburetor's. Thanks for tip! Glenn

I have a 'model 1920' one barrel Holley carburetor on my 1965 Dodge Dart that needs a new fuel bowl gasket and a new base gasket. Was wondering where I would have the best chance of finding a rebuild kit? Thanks in advance! Glenn

I replaced the fuel line from the tank to the fuel pump. I cleaned out the line from the pump to the carb, the filter is midway. Replaced the filter. I can see gas in the filter it self. When I remove the fuel line at the carb a little gas backsplashes. It may be there's another problem. No...

Thanks for the response 67Dart273! Glenn

'65 Dart sat too long by previous owners. Did run but then stopped. Did some investigation. Discovered bad gas in tank and tank got rusty. Have now replaced tank, sending unit and fuel line from tank to fuel pump. Connected everything back up, I think. Gas to carb but no start. So one thing I...

I went to Layson's on Sept. 29 and picked up what was in stock. The rest was back ordered. Received some things in the mail about 10 days later. Got the rest of the parts I ordered last week end Nov. 3rd. So all in all 35 days total from my first trip to the store to receiving everything in the...

Got the sending unit out, what's left of it. Yummy! Amazing fuel was flowing to the pump at all. And no wonder I was getting different readings from the gas gauge. Now I do realize that the gas gauge could be the problem but a new sending unit certainly won't hurt! Glenn

Appreciate the thought but no worries! Glenn

I should of posted a picture of the old tank grommet. It's falling apart. A new one will be purchased. Great tip on the fuel hose! Glenn

I've decided to get a new tank. Think next weekend I'll drive to Lakewood and see what Layson's actually has "in stock" and go from there. I wouldn't put that gas (varnish) in my mower! That stuff really has a pungent aroma that just wants to stick around. Going to drop it off at the county...

The tank is off. Spent more time getting the car up on jackstands than taking the tank off. The inside of the tank is just covered with rust and crap. The third picture show the end of the filler that is closest to the tank itself. The grommet goes around that end. That end is very rusty but...

Never messed with varnish. Managed to avoid until now! Glenn

New gas tank, new sending unit, new metal strainer in sending unit, new fuel lines from tank to pump and from pump to carb. Should I replace anything from the gas cap on quarter panel to the tank? What makes sense? How far should I take this? Any ideas? While money is an object, I can go up to...

I just recycled the old gas today at my county hazardous waste dump. Man that stuff smells funky! Phew! Glenn

Good info! Glenn

After I drain/siphon as much gas as I can then: Undo battery... Put rear axle on jackstands? Remove strap? I'll get to you all when I'm that far! Glenn

I sent them an email already. I'll wait to see what they say. Glenn

Thanks for the link! How much did you get dinged for shipping? Glenn

Flush it with what? Naw...I think I want to get a fresh new one in her. Glenn

The neighbor said the gas smells bad. I can imagine that since who knows how long it's been sitting in the tank? Glenn

I bought my '65 Dart about one month ago. The sellers told me it had been sitting for about 4 years. The gas gauge gives various reading so I really wasn't sure how much gas was in the tank. Wasn't sure how old the gas was either. Last Saturday I took my Dart to a brake shop for an inspection...

It's listed on Pure-gas.org. It's located in Seattle but it's about 7-8 miles from me. Bill Waters Spirit Services, 9500 35th Ave NE, Seattle. I called them yesterday. The gal that answered the phone said "Yes. We sell ethanol-free gas". That was enough for me. Glenn

Just found a gas station about 7 miles from where I live that sells three grades of ethanol free gas. Am I correct in thinking my '65 Dart (slant six) would be much happier running ethanol-free gas? Will it make much difference what grade I put into her? Should I go ahead and pump the...
