    Gas syphoning out the vent/tank problems

    I couldn't get a good picture of it, but it didn't have the extra return nipple. it's just running the single 5/16 out, Had a better view with a snake camera, and wanted to make sure (been thinking about switching to the larger diameter line, and adding a return for vapor, as I've had problems...

    Gas syphoning out the vent/tank problems

    Does the vent run down the whole filler tube, without any gaps to breath? The more I'm thinking about it, it seems like once I got the tank filled to the base of the filler/vent tube, it can syphon out the top part of the tank

    Gas syphoning out the vent/tank problems

    My bad, it's been a while 1965 Barracuda, running a 318 the previous owner put in. The vent to me looks original unless he ran something different inside the filler tube, but I can't imagine that. When it happened, I was able to stop it by plugging the vent tube with my finger, so I know it...

    Gas syphoning out the vent/tank problems

    That looks clean, I think the guy who did work on my car before replaced the rubbers on that. The sending unit looks okay too. Yeah, I think that could have started the syphon effect initially, but it kept spewing out gas for a good 5 minutes or longer after I stopped the pump. Hell, it was...

    Gas syphoning out the vent/tank problems

    Hey guys, been a LONG time since I've been on here, but need to get comfortable with my car again. I had my car worked on a year or so ago, and had a couple issues when I last got it out, and hate to say it but it's been sitting in the garage for too long now. Initially taking her out, I ran...

    possible water in my gastank.

    So im not sure, but i live in speedway, and i had my barracuda parked out side a place i work at for a good 8 hours, and there was a party going on next door the entire time I was there. This was the night before the race, so speedway was packed with drunk people all night. I dont know that this...

    Fuel sending unit

    im updating my fuel system to a eletric fuel pump and new lines, and i was wondering if a fuel sending unit that went in a 69-74 would work in my 65 gas tank, would it fit ect. the reason is because those have the 3/8 outlets rather than the 5/16, and all my lines will be 3/8 now. heres what...

    new to carbs.

    Im assuming this is a carb issue, if its an issue at all, but when i start up my car, is steadily increases rpms and it will continue up to 1500 rpms i thing, but i kick the gas pedal real quick and it jumps(as expected) then it dies down to around 700 rpms, and typically dies off after a few...

    does this make sence?

    it idles at around 1000 rpm. if i have it lower than that, it studders, but keeps goin. and im not sure about the manufold. i think its stock to a 73 barracuda. i didn't put it together. i can look tomorrow. i just know its a 180 degree one, witch has nothing to do with vacuum, i know.

    does this make sence?

    not that i remember. my biggest concern now, may not be a problem. but it only runs smoothly when the oil pressure is around 40psi when hot idle. its a 73 318cu with a 4bbl carter carb. should it be that high?

    does this make sence?

    I was having symptoms of a vaccum leak, and i was getting tired of not being able to find one, so i tried taking off the extra seal i added to my gas cap (so it wouldnt spill any out when i make a right turn) and it worked...... in 65 did they not have ventilated gas tanks? and could that really...

    Gas Cap for 1965 Barracuda

    You could always say you wernt selling it as merchandise, but the people paying are just paying for the material. Atleast that's what my friend says who burns dvds for people.
