Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback


I had to pump the pedal quite a few times while cranking the engine over before gas finally filled the fuel bowls. As soon as it did, the car fired right off. Luckily, the hood was still open and when I got out to close it I saw that the fuel line from the pump to the carb was spraying gas everywhere. It looked like a sprinkler hose! The odd thing is that it's a braided stainless line connected with AN fittings.



Have to buy the Teflon lined hose. Doesn't break down. I think the alcohol they add to fuel these days is bad for the "regular" ss braided hose. Read up, happens a lot. New, they actually permeate fuel smell in a closed garage. Not very good stuff.:protest:
