Fuel Tank and Electric Pump Install - 1968 Dodge Dart

[@MuscleCityMadness]

SCORE! 🤘 also if the tank doesn't have Vent Tubes use the one on that sending unit. I plugged all mine and couldn't figure out why my car wouldn't drive for more than 2 miles before it acted like it was out of gas. Then I did some research yup tank needs to breath or it Locks up due negative pressure. As a test I ran rubber fuel line from the tank vents up through the trunk and back down the other side through the frame like the factory vent lines and WALAH car runs and drives great. 👍

I’ll have to double check the filler neck but, the original tank I yanked out of there didn’t have a vent. I assumed it was on the neck or cap but, haven’t laid eyes on it. I’ll take a look when I get home. I can totally see the line reaching a negative pressure that matches the pump’s output without a vent.

I had no idea you'd ever find a gas tank for an A-body Mopar on Amazon...??? Nice little walk through of cleaning that system up 👍

[@sorta_stock]

At this point, I don’t know what you can’t buy on Amazon lol. They even have their own grocery stores now

[@moparnut6286]

Cool 😎 Like the frame rail pumps much easier to fix if something goes wrong.

[@sorta_stock]

When drag racing Hoopties you already know something will go wrong haha

[@NathansMoparGarage]

I would put a cap on that return if you aren't going to use it. The gas will eat away the silicone

[@sorta_stock]

Yeah I’ve got to get one. Figured the permitex would last until I capped it.

Can't hook up fuel pump to coil unless you wanna blow your coil and have other issues later

[@sorta_stock]

It’s the supply voltage to the coil. Not the high voltage the coil discharges. Pump has been running great for the past 6 months 👍🏻

Nice!

Good to know I can get a gas tank for my Dart on Amazon, how much was it?

[@sorta_stock]

It was $159 with free shipping 👍🏻

[@lawrenceyardprojects4922]

@@sorta_stock that's pretty dang good, gonna be a bit more for Canada

[@stannelson2582]

At the end is that a fuel pressure regulator mounted on the fender? When do you need one and not need one?

[@sorta_stock]

Yes, it’s a fuel pressure regulator. It’s not necessarily needed with this particular pump but, it’ll help in the future when I install a stronger pump. I’ll just need to run the return line at that point

[@Mynextproject_74]

What kind of pump is that?

[@sorta_stock]

It’s an edelbrock 4-7psi in-line pump. Cost around $60 at O’Riley’s
