    Vapor-Locking... the bane of my existence.

    Good point RJ... I will put her up on the lift and check lines. How many of you have added a tank return line?

    Vapor-Locking... the bane of my existence.

    That makes far more sense. :thumbsup: You guys are great. I have some work to do to get my baby on the road. It's been far too long under cover.

    Vapor-Locking... the bane of my existence.

    Will do. Though the one I installed is much longer than .322 or do you mean .322 clearance between the rod and pump? And how does one measure that???

    Vapor-Locking... the bane of my existence.

    Ah... that is NOT where I mounted it. It is on top of the OEM intake manifold. I will move it.

    Vapor-Locking... the bane of my existence.

    I thought electric pumps needed a return line to the tank?!? I think anti-vapor filters do to don't they?

    Vapor-Locking... the bane of my existence.

    Thanks dvw... it does have spark and wants to start. It does that giddy-up start... almost starts, but not quite, then almost but not quite. Give it a few and it starts. But once it is vapor-locked, it runs REALLY rough under load. If I let it cool down, it runs great... again.

    Got it... excellent. I will order some today. Thanks.

    Vapor-Locking... the bane of my existence.

    Well, your right about the fuel. Today's ethanol fuels boil out and I did (mistakenly) fill the tank with an ethanol mix. AND yes, I can see it boiling in the clear filter. I burned out the ethanol, well, most of it anyway, and even with premium (non-ethanol) fuel, it still boils. We are not in...

    Vapor-Locking... the bane of my existence.

    HA... Well, it is 90 degrees today. But I get the same response at 70. DEI wrap? Where's your fuel filter mounted?

    Vapor-Locking... the bane of my existence.

    Hey all, 1966 Charger with a 440 - New Edelbrock 750 AV2 carb. New mechanical fuel pump. - Total rebuild including the transmission. In the garage, it starts and runs great. On the road, until it heats up, it runs great. Run a mile and stop for a bit and it is obviously vapor-locking. The...

    1966 Gauge repair outcome...

    Ok... so the defection bar is a bimetal bar the moves based on the amount of heat. That is regulated by the fuel gauge in the cluster below the alternator gauge. It has an extra deflector with contacts. This gauge drops the voltage to 5v max. That gauge often fails to regulate the voltage after...

    1966 Charger wiring diagrams.

    Pnora, the FSM i have DOES show the backup switch but does not show the dashed line for the bypass for automatic trans. If you have a scan of that, I would like to see how it is supposed to be annotated.

    1966 Gauge repair outcome...

    Hey 66JS... here's what I used. I think i paid something like $30 for it. Even so, it does not take much energy and took some time to perfect a weld. The wire is so hair-thin that the weld sometimes did hold very well. So to ensure it didn't come apart with use, I also put a bit of conductive...

    Sorry... that should have been B2F, not B1F.

    1966 Charger wiring diagrams.

    Hey all, for what it's worth, I used Visio and re-crafted the 1966 Charger wiring diagrams by tracing and redrawing the map... but with color and gauge-by-line-thickness lines. After rebuilding all 3 of my Charger wire harnesses, my backup lights would not work. Troubleshooting, I found a...

    440 question: might be a dumb question

    BTW... there are no dumb questions here. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, started with a lack of knowledge and experience, and had to grow into their skin. Never be afraid to ask.

    Speedmaster Distributor causes backfire under load...

    Hey all, So I am still missing something. I missed the part where I should have bypassed the resistor in the install of this distributor. I bypassed the resistor now and things are OK. But I have a follow-on question. The distributor I purchased does not have a vacuum advance. What is the...

    1966 Gauge repair outcome...

    Hey all, It's been a while since I replied to this thread. I wanted to come back to finish the story of this repair. Terry sent me wire... thank you SO much. I got a micro-welder and it worked great. Took a bit of getting a handle on it but I got there. I was able to repair one of the gauges...

    Power Steering gearbox... OK or replace?

    Boy, do those videos bring back memories from my years in the USAF as an AC mechanic. "BING"... change the slide... "BING"... change the slide. :lol:
