Not saying I’ve got vapor lock at all. I’m just reading the tea leaves here Rusty. I’m stuck in a loop on Boob tube that almost every car video that pops up lately is about vapor lock. The why and how but other than a mechanical fix- nobody is addressing how to fix by adding an additive, like...

Thanks for the replies everyone. I’ve been using a product called K1000 for both diesel and gas. (Not the same - one version for diesel and one version for gas) $25 per quart it’s kinda pricey. The diesel stuff basically keep the gelling down in the winter and helps displace water in my 500...

Not everybody likes to hear those pumps clicking away in the background.

With all the talk on utube and on here and other sites about vapor lock. Now the info about how the fuel is separating into parts and evaporation is taking place due to the new fuel has no additives to prevent the lighter or easily boiled off parts from happening since new cars are closed...

1) year make and model- I left my guessing hat at the shop. 2) what is an OSCA ? 3) pictures are very helpful.

The Holley blue gaskets are available from summit but not sure what carb you need them for - 1,2,4bbl. I got them recently for a Holley street warrrior. I found chapstick on both sides helps with the separation. Not sure if cherry flavor or plain is the best. lol! But if you’re cutting the...

Is it cold? Until summer air - my 66 runs like junk until it is fully warmed up and had been running for 45 mins or so. Winter fuel also has less let’s say “incentive” on these let say, “carburated” engines

Okay- just checking. Some people have sold me engines blowing oil smoke before and it was lack of breather or pvc and breather on same side. lol!

I’ve got a silly question: you have a breather on one side and a pcv on the other …. Right? Just asking because if there is now way for the air to get in it will suck oil regardless of baffles. Syleng1

This is an early abody tank for my barracuda set up for fuel injection - electric fuel pump in the tank. If you look at the photo one vent line from the pump “y” with the top nipple on the tank. This is where you attach the roll over valve if you don’t have the factory set up. If your tank is...

Here a the thing. People removed everything emissions back in the day. Problem is today’s fuel evaporates very quickly. When the ethanol fuel evaporates- the by product is water. Some sort of check valve to let air in and keep pressure in is better. A “roll over valve” helps. Tanks inc in Iowa...

Rusty, I use chapstick on my gaskets. I just rub each gasket down both sides with chapstick and they come apart easily even after a few years of use. The blue gaskets help. Syleng1

So I just used the search feature and they typically sell used on this board for $290-$375 used. For that much money I would wait for an LD-340 intake all day long.

Okay but that intake is almost $500 new. LD-340s typically are like $300 used. What is the cost used going for? I’ve not priced them used. But I bet it is close.

Also pre emissions and looks better than the newer manifolds. Not as cool as an airgap but for the average street car that sees a strip now and then it’s a home run. I’ve got 2 of them. Maybe I’ll sell them when it is tie to buy a lake house. lol!

It works. But sadly I have seen the damage it causes first hand. Swollen piston skirts, blown out piston tops, the list goes on. Old diesels would actually become addicted to it and only start on it. The top rings take the most abuse. If you have to use it… use it cautiously. Better off...

Why?

I laugh when you call the company and they are like, “sure, no problem. We will send you another - no charge. And “no” we do not want the old one back.” That’s salesman speak for - “we bought them so cheap and you idiots are paying so much for them that we don’t really care they are breaking...

Yikes! Thanks for the heads up.

You mean you can’t just plug a computer into it and it will tell you what is wrong and it fixes it?

I eliminated this on my 66’ by adding a vent nipple and a roll over valve at the top of the tank. You still can not walk away while filling the tank. But “splash down the side” happens about almost never since. Side note: I bought a brand new tank to weld the vent nipple on and at the same...

So what “SOUNDS” better? I’m going charger (sad trumpet sound) Or I’m going COMMANDO! (80’s montage music plays in the back ground.)

What intake did you buy? Asking “will it work?” With that slim of info is like asking what’s the price of fuel in 10years because I bought a new lawnmower. Lol! Just messing- we need more info. Syleng1

I would think a web site closer to pick ups or vintage dodge engines may be of more help than a bunch of MoPar A body guys. Leave it out here for a while- you may find someone who knows. I can not promise you that 100%. But if there is- they will help.

I love my TQs and have a few to play with. Sadly because the bow tie group could not figure them out, they went away. If they were popular and parts were still available, we would not be in this question. But like all MoPar related things, we have found away to “make it work.” Syleng1

Hell, if I wanted more fuel I just file the end of the rods flat on one side and ended up with the last step looking like. “D” Then I would fail emissions and have to buy a new carb to get thru and pass. Lol! Syleng1

50/50 hit or miss. Napa alternators and starters rebuilds were junk but have gotten better. Bobo zone or Advanced are hit or miss. They work about 1 year and seem to quit just after warranty is up. As for carbs, remember there are not that many carbs on the road today. I do t know of any...

Airgap intake… yes you will need a choke or deal with rough start until it warms up. When you make modifications away from factory you have to expect different results. Also your distributor looks a tad advanced. Off a tooth on the drive ? Maybe the picture angle is throwing me off.

*Rot hole in pick up tube. *Fuel pump lever not properly under timing chain eccentric. *got spark? *carb float(s) stuck closed I can keep going Syleng1

You do know you can buy a roll over valve for the tank vent. Basically it only opens after a certain pressure. If the valve goes upside down (like in a crash and the car rolls over) it closes off the vent, also some models will allow air into the tank but not out of the tank (again in extreme...
