Hello. I was working on trying to get my fuel gauge working correctly since the new ones you get at the parts store I put in some time ago are linear. Found two original fuel sending units and bought them. One looked in good shape kept that one and sent the other one to a place that rebuilds...

Thanks for all the input. Check with engine builder that rebuilt the 383 engine about how to setup distributor on stopped engine. He said to put the engine at top dead center then align the distributor for cylinder 1. I used my 3/4 drive wrachet to turn the engine to set it at TDC then...

What's the gap supposed to be? Thanks

I thought I'd try the same thing I did last year taking it out of storage after 6 months. I pulled the distributor and shaft. Put in the rod to run the oil pump to prime the engine before I started it. Worked ok last year but this year the car barely ran and rough. Check to make sure the...

The sending unit came today from Classic Industries. Did a quick check on ohms from each stop on the float travel. Range is 7.2 to 68.5. The old one that came out on the last replacement is 77 to 10. According to a post here the OEM should be 10 to 63.5 . Don't know what the range is on...

Hard to see in the sending unit hole with other items of the car in the way. Haven't received the Classic Industries one yet. I will post back on how it works related to amount of fuel the tank takes compared to the gauge reading. The current one in the tank reading 1/4 tank takes 8 gallons...

Lately I replaced the sending unit since gauge was not registering very accurately. Current replacement not any better so I ordered on from Classic Industries that is suppose to be made to match OEM specs. Question about the filter on the pickup tube. I was having trouble getting the old one...

I got a scope and listened around. No definite location but seemed to be from lifter area. Changed oil in September noise is gone. Think it was a lifter. Before I change the oil for storage I was thinking about putting in some lifter cleaner figure it couldn't hurt. Not old lifters but I...

I was testing the voltage by disconnecting the gas tank sending unit wire. Old instrument panel voltage regulator turns on and off to control the voltage. Didn't know that. I ordered the one from Year One like other replacements that are constant voltage. It fit with some minor adjustments...

I had also move the instrument voltage limiter in it's connections and the plug on the circuit board to possibly help any questionable connection.

Thanks for the suggestions. When things would start acting strange on the fuel and temp gauges the amp meter would be at the max. I replaced the regulator for the charging system and went for a 20 mile test ride. Now I'm not seeing things acting unusual. Amp meter not maxing out, fuel gauge...

By the way the gauges are sometimes acting strange I suspect the voltage limiter. Looks like I had replaced it years ago and the replacement didn't fit exactly so you can see I had to do the ground differently. Looking at Classic Industries and Year one they both don't match the plug in slots...

Only noise I have heard started in the past few days and only at idle after the engine starts to warm up not when cold. A strange high frequency noise that very short in duration but regular and goes away when you increase rpms above idle. Noise comes out the breather cap. If you cover up the...

Ok I unhooked the vacuum and got the engine up to 2300rpm and I was reading 38 degrees advance. Wonder what the specs are on this distributor for mechanical and vacuum advance since it's not the stock one.

Distributor was new when installed many years ago. I used an old style induction connection light. I should also have one that connects to #1.

Sounds about right. Parts manager friend suggested the upgrade kit not too many years after I got the car when it was 1.5 years old. Had to replace the module a number of years ago but distributor is the same. Pretty old maybe need a replacement?

I haven't heard any knocking while driving. I did check the total advance with the vacuum attached. Service manual mechanical advance spec for 1967 Dodge 383 four barrel stick was @ 2400 rpm. On the distributor top number is 22 4 and the long bottom number on the tag is 3690431. Metal tag...

Correction: 1967 4 barrel with manual or auto trans without clean air package. According to 1967 service manual vacuum is 8.25-11 degrees and mechanical is 7-9 degrees @ 2400rpm. Old points distributor. Initial timing spec is 12.5. Total looked high. Something wrong with distributer advance?

I was curious and checked the total advance on my 67 383 that has the mopar electronic ignition conversion kit that was installed many years ago. At no load and 2400 rpms it was 55 degrees. I'm using one of those tapes you install on the damper. Also what engine damage results from too much...

I used it on my OEM block to firewall ground strap. Insulation was all brittle. Remove the old and used the liquid electrical tape. Looks good.

My 67 GTS had a black cap when I got it and it with 16,439 miles on it. Got it from original owner when it was 1.5 years old. When buy relacement caps they are tan suppose i might be able to find a black one.

Picked up some leds for the dart this winter off of ebay. They were a pack of 20 194's don't remember the cost but it wasn't bad. The dash always seemed a little dim but thats the way they were. Just put the white leds in the instrument cluster replacing all the 194's. Much better and you...

Over the winter I got these from Amazon for $18.99 for two. Now on sale for 17.99. I was also concerned about getting rearended. See below photo showing brake/flasher light function.: JDM ASTAR Super Bright AX-2835 Chipsets 1157 2057 2357 7528 LED Bulbs For Brake Lights Tail lights Turn...

I decided to try one of the newer replacement sensors I bought with the lower resistance compared to the original one. As I expected the gauge reads higher than the original one for 180. After years of looking at the 180 point with the original sensors the higher reading does bother me some...

I got a replacement gas tank sending unit for my 67 dart and it doesn't make sense when you look at how much it says is in the tank and how many gallons you add to fill it.

Anyone know the specs on this for resistance verses temperature? I was checking the resistance of the old and new at 65 degrees and they were 315 verses 275. Wanted to comare to the specs for the sensor. I'm wondering which is closer to the spec so the temp gauge is more accurate. Well as...

Think I might try your suggestion before disassembling the cluster. I didn't get around to checking the grounds on the instrument panel. It started acting strange and the symptoms are what people have been saying are ground related. This morning when I turned the headlights on the fuel and...

I got mine from http://rt-eng.com/mediawiki/index.php/RTE_limiter . Easy to install. I just unplugged the old one and plugged in this solid stat one.

I got mine from Real Time Engineering, http://rt-eng.com/mediawiki/index.php/RTE_limiter . Looked just like the original and it's not suppose to over voltage if there is a bad ground. Plugged right in place of the original one.
