Confirm what I'm about to do is right ...

Gas filler tube on my Swinger goes through the body from outside with foam gasket behind the flanged end, then screwed to the body - correct ?. The reason I'm asking - when installed this way, the gas cap I bought which is supposed to fit Swingers - stands a half inch off the fender, it'd fit right if the flange for the tube were behind the sheet metal - I nust have the wrong cap (had it painted and everything - sucks)

I believe the filler tube should go on the inside. I know that is the way it was on my 66 Dart up till I put the flip gas cap on, then i had to put it in from the out side for the spacing I needed for it.

tube meets the body from the inside with gasket between.

I'm kinda embarrassed I don't recall (it's only been three years !) I've got a 70 down the street I can look at tomorrow - i may hit the hay for now - thanks.

what year dart is it ? 71? is it a california emmisions car? if it is then there is your problem. 1971 california emmisions cars had a year only special cap and filler neck. if you lose the original cap then you will be hard pressed to find a replacement. the standart cap will be loose and not fit tight at all. the cure is to replace the filler neck with a standard neck from a newer a body........plymouth or dodge is the same. duster or demon or dart sport is also the same for a swinger or scamp.

It's a '73 - I'll check out the one down the street. Thanks.

I got a Stant that's supposed to fit on my '74 but it sits out too far and loose, wiggles around. The original fits fine though, I see them on Ebay a lot.
