73 Charger - Vapor Separator?

Im sure it was a concern for the engineers, are you running 3/8” fuel lines and a fuel separator off of your fuel pump like OEM did? I think the original thermoquad was also designed to help combat vapor lock, I’m sure the main body being “plastic” helps with temperatures also
Originally no. I have since bought 5/8” fuel supply lines for the restoration. It did not have a fuel separator off the pump either. Also not a thermoquad. Holley, so not plastic.
 
I haven't driven mine yet but, I'm curious as to how it will do performance wise. I think mine should be ok with all of what the factory tried to do to keep it from vapor locking. I will also have the original exhaust ( as in the original exhaust) and not headers

That should help a lot. Headers put off a lot of heat and the 73/74 under hood space is cramped. My hood bulge vents are also made functional with screens so that and the cool carb spacer seemed to have solved the previous owner vapor lock problem, but I can’t be sure as I only have driven the car less than 50 miles since I bought it. It’s been in one shop after another since Oct 2024.

By the looks of how you’re going now I think that story is going to be changing soon. I like seeing a methodical approach being taken when doing a car. You are starting with good bones now and working outward…… the way they should be done.

I don’t like to half *** anything. If I’m going to do it I’m doing it once and doing it right. :rofl:

I haven’t mad much progress on it in the last couple of weeks. Hopefully next week we will be back on it.
