Found this out the real hard way in 2009. Replaced a leaking seal on a 351C. (I know, it’s not a mopar.). Replaced the original seal when refreshing the engine and doing a clutch upgrade. At first good but oil leakage went to 2 quarts per thousand miles in short order. When I dropped the...

On multiple cars, I have used an 80’s dodge fuel filter that has a 1/4” port return off the pressure side of the pump. The 1/4” line was plumbed back to the tank. Then used phenolic spacer at the carb. Never have had issues with vapor lock with these two fixes in place.

Did you get any takers? Would be interested.

Another trick that does not require air to remove spring, use clothesline. Feed through the spark plug hole. Leave lead outside hole. Bring piston up. Will hold valves closed and allow you to change seal.

Wife always tags me when she knows it is low. “Need a little milk from the market, just take my car.” 20 minutes and $40 later, she has her gallon of milk.

I won’t pass. PM me and we will see if we can get this done.

Like the brass float.

Also have 72 Sebring. My 1/4 line to tank is a vapor only. Not a fuel return. Plumbed to top of tank.

We run an 833 OD in a road race setup a-body. 300 hp at the flywheel with a 3.73 rear gear. Hardly ever shift to 4th. When we do, easy shift into gear and hammer down. Held up for years. Fun to power by $100,000 cars in an old Plymouth.

According to the filter study, the Baldwin flowed better than the Wix and had better filtration. That's not to say that the Wix is not a good filter. I run both street car and race motor engines. VR1 10-30 is my choice. Proven in endurance races. Oil cooler is required for endurance. Have run...

Best ever trip with my newly 16 licensed daughter. Had her driving through the Ozark twisties. Brake in the straight, if you are a little hot going in, she will hold, power out in the last third…. Best week ever!

PM me if you still have the lines. I need to mock up my old system to a new sander. Would help me out.
