Yes, I did install the sensor as suggested. Now, I'm unsure if my fuel gauge is working correctly as previously thought, here's why. The gauge read 1/2 tank and I drove 11miles to work and the gauge dropped to a 1/4 tank. I stopped and purchased fuel and it took 9 gallons to peg the needle past...

I drove the car to work today and even though the needle showed hot the temp at the thermostat housing was 190, the temp going into the radiator was 185 and it was 110 at the bottom of the radiator, to me the car has a gauge issue and not a clogged water Jacket, thoughts?

I changed the sensor and still receiving the same readings. The gas gauge is working fine. I do have a meter but really do not understand all the different settings on the dial. Tomorrow I am going to drive the car to work about 14 miles from the house and I will then be able to ensure the...

The car was running for about 15-20 minutes. The needle was 1 line from the end of the gauge. It was pouring here in NJ and the Dart doesn't go out in the rain, lol. I will see what my numbers are once I get it out on the road. Thanks to all checking in. I will get the new sensor to see what...

I scanned the top of the radiator where the hose goes into the radiator and the temp gun showed 155 - 165 degrees the thermostat housing showed 162 - 175 the bottom rad hose showed 130-136 degrees any hints

yes, and from my earlier post the car is running. The mechanic that worked on the car inadvertently switched two spark plug wires and the points were out a little as well as the valves needing adjustment. All seems to be running pretty good. Thank you for following up, I really appreciate all...

The 69 engine is long gone. I should have mentioned that the rebuild was 3 years ago but with health issues the car probably has less than 700 miles on it. Each summer I try to solve this issue but it is hard for me to work on the car. I have had 4 total knee replacements on the same knee and...

I purchased a new sensor for the 65 engine. I have on order a temp gun. The car has never spewed antifreeze and the rebuilder put in freeze plugs that blow out once the car gets too hot. I drove the car about 250 miles round trip the gauge flutulated between hot and very hot but no boil over...

I had the engine professionally rebuilt

No the 69 engine never ran hot. I had the radiator serviced and the tech said working fine as it should be

Long story but here is the condensed version. The car had the original engine when found in a barn. The owner got the engine to run but he said it kept overheating. He switched the engine out for a 1969 engine. I buy the car and want it to be as original as possible so when I purchased the car I...

Thanks to all the help and advice I received, I couldn't thank each and everyone enough for taking time out of your day to respond to my post. First off I'm a little embarrassed as to the outcome of my problem. After exhausting all that I could do I decided to have the Dart flat bedded to a...

I adjusted the idle screw and the car idles. so the car starts and idles. The issue I have now is as soon as a load is placed on the engine it misses and bucks and doesn't run well at all. So far I have replaced the following: re-manufactured carb resistor ballast condenser spark plugs and new...

I haven't touched the carb at all since it is a new rebuilt carb. I purchased through an online vendor. The vendor guarantees carb is set to factory presets. In starting the car I would pump the accelerator and it wasn't until I depressed the accelerator and held it down 1/4 " that the engine...

UPDATE......I changed the condenser and the ballast resistor as one post suggested to do. The car did start for about 10 seconds. The engine stalled and just cranking wouldn't re-start. If I depress gas pedal even the smallest amount the engine will run. I had it running for about 10 minutes as...

last night I went home and the car actually started for about 3 seconds the engine was missing and bucking. Once it stalled I couldn't get it to start again. I then drained all the gas from the tank and put 5 gallons fresh gasoline in the tank. I will do the bypass tonight just to ensure the new...

Yes, it does have points. where is the condenser located? is it right off the coil or distributor?

Jp5 I thought it might be an issue also, so tonight I will siphon the gas out of the tank and replace with fresh gas. I did pour a can of dry gas in the tank but that might have not been enough. THANK YOU FOR READING AND FOR YOUR ADVICE.

First off thank you to all who have tried to point me in the right direction. UPDATE: I changed the plugs last night as well still not starting. I sprayed starting fluid into the carb and turned over the engine. it sound like it wanted to start but didn't. I looked behind the car and saw a...

Jo- the rotor had a round spot I thought it was a carbon deposit. it was on the piece that is about 1.5" ling. What does that mean? is the rotor the issue?

I will check tonight again, from my recollection the plug didn't seem overly wet. I might replace the plugs just to ensure no issues there. I will also check out the color of the spark. I thought it was blue/ yellowish.

RedFish Please do not take my comments as argumentative I just thought if I was getting spark it would or should fire. If I came off as being argumentative I'm so sorry...

but I see whereas I'm getting spark at the spark plug.

The car doesn't get much time on the road when I put it away for the winter it seemed okay, I'm the only one who has access to the garage so it wasn't tampered with. I removed the spark plugs, again, seemed okay I cleaned them with fuel cleaner and reinstalled them. When I get home tonight I...

I am perplexed to say the least. My Dodge Dart when I took it out this spring was missing and bucking and wouldn’t stay running. I am figured it might be the carb so I bought a rebuilt carb and thought that would solve my problem. I couldn’t be more incorrect. This is what I have done so far...
