You can read my story in the New Members area, so I'll just dive right in. This car came with a stack of receipts showing a ton of stuff was done to the car. Now I'm going to finish it. Mechanically is has:
318 2bbl, 727, and a 3:23 Sure Grip rear from a 1973 Mopar something.
New suspension bushings and new brake lines, cylinders, 10" shoes and drums.
There are a bunch of little things that need to be done. Here is where I started.
The car would run for only about a minute, then it would sputter and stall. I also noticed the clear fuel filter would start to get bubbles in it. If it sat for a bit you could crank it and it would eventually fire up. All of the rubber lines up front were new, so I got underneath and found this.
The line from the sending unit to the main fuel line. Needless to say, that was the problem.
So now I could drive it more than 1/2 mile the next issue popped up: why don't I have full throttle, and why is it shifting funny?
