    New Carter fuel pump has a slight ticking at idle.

    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...

    1965 Coronet 361 2bbl hard start when hot

    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.

    1965 Coronet 361 2bbl hard start when hot

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. Trying to restart the car, it almost ran my battery down with...

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...

    1965 Dodge 361ci 2bbl hard start when sitting for a few days

    My 1965 Coronet with 48k original miles takes some cranking time to start after sitting for a few days. If I use starting fluid, one crank and it starts. 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...

    1965 Coronet fuel pump leak caused many issues!

    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...
