Thanks for the info. I must be more redneck then you. I wrapped the old metal line with foil before re-plumbing the whole damn thing. no joke

Yeah, I first thought about the cooling system. Rad and liquid were good. I am missing the fan shroud though. My mechanic replaced the thermostat and frost plugs and now the needle is steady in the middle. Not sure what degree thermostat. Going to look into a heat shield. Manual switch fan...

Right again. Nothing like the smell of warm gas on a hot night in July.

1971 Scamp

Wish I could've joined you guys. People should know to never mess with another man's ride...especially a Dart.

yessir.

This is true, good eye autoxcuda.

Thanks guys. *This is the new routing, I ripped out the original metal line that ran in the stock position near the middle with the clear coffee pot filter. I will go ahead and snake the line closer to the firewall and fender panel. Curious, where would you guys place it?

In Canada, only 91 and higher octane gas contains no ethanol. So more asking about ethanol and referring to how its not suited for old engines.

No heat isolator. Front mounted.

So ethanol in present day gas is not the main cause of gas boiling quicker?

I have a stock 198 Slant six (71 Scamp) The same story, runs like a dream on the highway, but chokes in the city. *I've since had an Electric Fuel Pump with return line put in and re-plumbed the fuel line which solved everything :cheers:. Would filling up with 91+ octane (no ethanol) alone...

Im in Vancouver. I'll keep an eye out for it.
