I replaced my original fuel pump with a Carter on my 1965 361ci Dodge because it was leaking fuel into my crankcase. Both old/new pumps looked identical. The car runs just fine but after a ride today (maybe 50 miles since the replacement) I noticed a weak ticking from the pump at idle when I...

No ethanol free by me. Should I put higher than 87?

Funny you just posted this, I just opened my laptop to look for a new coil!

Thank you! Even though when I eyeballed the new pump with the original and all looked the same, I realize that little difference would not be noticed. I will seriously consider your suggestion.

Thank you!

I'll try that, thanks!

My 65 has 48k miles with an all original 361 2bbl. The weather has been in the mid 80's in New York and the last 2 times I drove it between 10-20 miles (normal water temp reading) and then turned the ignition off for maybe 20 minutes.

The Alt gauge is right at TDC at idle but any increase of RPM the needle stays to the right (similar to attached pic #1). After checking, the alternator is charging above 15v when the engine revs. Some...

I just replaced the fuel pump (was leaking fuel into my crankcase), replaced the fuel filter and the battery is always on a trickle charge. If...

My 48k original 1965 Coronet, 361 2bbl developed some unexplainable nagging issues over the years: 1- very hard to start after any rest even just overnight; 2- reeked of gasoline when back in the garage after a spin (new gas cap and zero leaks anywhere); 3- My dip stick always seems to read...

Unfortunately they are different. Thank you so much for checking!!

I saw that as well. I was going to order them even though 65 isn't mentioned. Thanks again!!

Looking for 1 door latch screws but will happily buy a set. No one remanufactures them. Thank you!

Any advice or pics to help me find the clip location so I can carefully remove an original mint door panel on a 1965 48k mile convertible?
