new look.....

forgot to say, trade and all I have less than a grand (prob around $700) in this car., also I have a floor shifter for the automatic ready to go in. all I really need is a set of wheels and tires for the rear, I'll leave the skinny steelies up front, just hard to find cheap 5x4" wheels....

there's a screen, but even with that I'm no driving it much. saving up for a hilborn style scoop I'm going to modify for the 1920. I forgot to mention a mild cam and right now running through 2.5 open exhaust. with electric fans. not the fastest slant 6, but I got her to spin 'em pretty god...

mine

I know some people wont like her, but to my credit, this car was heading for the scrapper. The roof was completely rusted through because of the old vinyl top as well as some spots in the rear. floor, rockers, and trunk pan were perfect. When I got it, it had a new gas tank, lines, plugs...

had the same problem with my car, mine turned out to be the rubber line coming from the gas tank. It was crimped because someone installed the fuel line wrong and it was at a bad angle. I'm not sayin that's what it is, but look for signs of fuel starvation... clogged lines, dirty fuel filter...

finally got all the bugs worked out on it. she's running good now so if figured I'd clean it up. I only wish the rest of the car looked that good, ha.

-it will still die in 2nd, I say 3rd, but I basically mean cruising speed. -it takes a little longer to die out when it's cold, but it still dies. -it feels like its running outta gas, it starts sputtering, and if I don't feather the gas it will shut off, when I do feather the gas it sounds...

I bought a new rebuilt carb from advance, took it apart and checked it over. any experience with these? it looked nice, and was clean inside. it defiantly made a difference in performance.... until it sputters and dies, lol. I took my day off today and adjusted the valves (way loose) went...

ok, new info. -broke down and got a rebuilt carb (and tuned it to factory specs) -good fuel pressure while driving and even when it sputters out -just rechecked and set timing (is #1 tdc at idle normal for a stock six with no emissions components/auto?) -done the rubber fuel line trick...

Thanks for the help, guess I'm out to get a fuel pressure gauge.

new pickup, I tried the gas cap trick, no change. so I guess I'm leaning towards the fuel pump. should there be any kind of tape on the inlet fitting on the pump? as of now there just snugged in.

little back round info:1973 dart, slant six auto-new gas tank, fuel lines, pump and filter-new plugs, cap, rotor, plugs and wires-new intake/exhaust gasket-all emissions components removed (egr, tac, charcoal canister, ect.) tank vent line has a little filter on it and egr is blocked.-one ported...
