I read if the car was equipped with a factory high performance engine it also got the black grille and tail panel. My car is a non R/T with a 340 and it is black in both places.

There is a post on the FBBO site you should look at. Vapor Separator is the title posted by Charger Fan. The diagram and explanation posted by Vaanth will help you for sure.

I wouldn't worry about the liquid fuel return. The car never had it originally and fuel vapor lock does not seem to be one of your issues. I would concentrate on the fuel tank venting side of things.

Just to clarify. The three lines I mention are hard pipe lines that run under the car from the engine bay to the rear of the car - not a 3 nipple fuel sender/pickup. Your sender is likely to have been only one pipe originally and if the tank does not have the 4 vent nipples it is also wrong...

The pipe on the fuel sender/pickup is for liquid fuel to return to the fuel tank and has a separate line running back down the car. These cars had 3 lines fitted at the factory. 1 for fuel to the pump, 1 liquid return line and 1 for the tank vent system. As your car is 1972 and the high...

I have Koni's on both my cars - fitted straight on. Perhaps you do not have the right ones????

That is the standard dash switch plate. Performance Car Graphics has the new plates - or they did? Set the switch plate up flat and soak the decal plate in turpentine over night to break down the glue. I just levered my one up with a toothpick. Fix the new one on with Elmers rubber cement.

I can't remember the part numbers but I know I got them easily from the Koni website.

I assume you are talking about the squirt hole to oil the piston bores? Eliminated even by the OE companies in later years - not a problem.

Koni shocks are good also. They are adjustable.

Some of them may have been jig alignment holes used by the factory welders/ chassis construction workers.

I don't believe plastic and pop rivets play well together. The rivet expands while being fitted and can crack the plastic - either when fitted or over time.

There is nothing like the sound of a V8 powered car going up through the gears of a manual transmission - even when being driven gently. That is the appeal for me.

If you are getting liquid fuel up that line something is wrong. A smell of fuel in the engine bay wafting out of the open line is one thing but not raw or liquid fuel.

No I don't think so. The PCV will create a slight depression in the tank that should deal with any vapours created by evaporating/expanding fuel. After all the engine is gulping the same dirty fuel vapours via the carburettor and fuel pump. What vaporises off the fuel will be free of particulate...
