    Vapor Return lines

    I’ve never seen anything suggesting automatics didn’t get the separator. They generate a lot more heat and would need one before a stick.

    I’ve seen and had these cars with a filter right before the pump. Like your saying, there is like 8” there you could splice in a filter. I don’t know if you could when the car had a vapor separator. I’d have to study mine and see. First one I’ve had is my current car.

    They can be. It’s not a guarantee to get it off. Hence looking to see if it worked. I mentioned the need for a filter for a reason. It won’t be any worse than a sock and no filter.

    No, you’ve never heard of doing that? Wow.

    You could just blow the sock off with an air hose. Disconnect the fuel line, use one of those blow nozzles with the rubber tip. Few good shots should blow that thing off. It won’t hurt to have it at the bottom of the tank. You can look in the filler tube with a flashlight and see if it blew...

    Personally I wouldn’t run a 160. The engine needs to get warm enough to swell the parts fully and not cause wear. They came oem with a 195. I’ve had todays fuels boil with an 195 in due to extra underhood heat. 180 seems to be a happy medium. Even without a shroud, they shouldn’t heat up if...

    I don’t know what ecu I’d run these days, maybe others could tell you who makes one worth having. Electric parts are such a crap shoot. I run petronix. Also need to check the pickup in the distributor as it could cause similar issues. Check bulkhead connectors. If you have a hacked harness...

    I didn’t read all this, don’t have time. Stalling when hot but able to start back is a clue the ecu is losing ground. Problem is worse when temps underhood go up. Sand the mounting flange and firewall, or run dedicated ground to battery and be done with it. Ecu could also be bad or I wouldn’t...

    Mopar Collectors Guide has a lot of vendors in it. Other than that, Classic Industries and Year One.

    Just saw that 2 more Tracks closed...

    I’ve made a lot of passes at Owingsville. Made my first ever pass on that track. Sad to see it gone. I was there the day the guy in the corvette hit the trees. Was a wild scene.

    Old Man Truck

    Oh well then I’d totally do that. I’d like to get back in a tin grill, just don’t find any to my specs. The 360 would be nice, especially if it has or you end up bumping the compression. My 79 d300 shocked a lot of people. With headers and intake and ignition it’d pin you back from a dig. It...

    Old Man Truck

    If you are used to the space, you’ll hate it. I got an suv four years ago. Not sure I can go back for a dd. I wouldn’t drive a 77 in the WI winter, love thise too much to see them rust. I did it when I was a kid though and it was all I had. It will also take awhile to get it in daily shape. I...
