That's what I was thinking I needed to do... Put an actual cap inside like that. The car didn't have one on it when I bought it so it would have been evaporating and getting contamination in it. It amazes me that the tank was as clean as it was when I took it out... It was so shiny inside It...
That rubber seal does not come in contact with the filler neck though in mine. There would definitely be evaporation issues as well as dirt and the moisture getting in to the filler neck. It seems that the filler neck should stick out of the car another inch in order to seal against that rubber...
I must be overlooking something here. It has been a few years since I purchased the car and took it apart, so I don't know if it was always like this. I have the flip open fuel filler door, and it doesn't seal against the filler neck. The seal on the door is 1" from the filler neck when closed...
I had thought about take the front wheels off to drop the front end as much as possible. Looking at your diagram of raising the back of the vehicle might may provide a nice entry angle!

Hello, has anyone used a 10 - 15 micron oil filter for engine break in? I can only find filters that are as low as a 21 micron. I honestly don't know how crucial it is to have a finer filter for that initial 20 minute break in. I would be changing the oil and filter after the initial break in of...
I got mine from National Moparts in Ontario Canada. I'm not sure who the manufacturer was though, I would have to look into it. I bought them 2 years ago and just putting them on now.
Hello, I sure hope someone can help with this. I am putting new door panels on my 73 Challenger but they are about a 1/4 inch too narrow. If I hang them and put the screws in the back, the front screw holes are close to a 1/4" short of lining up. I tried heating the ends with a heat gun and it...
I'll post a few more as I continue...when I took that photo, a front fender was off and the hood was sanded in 2000..lol. The color is actually House of Kolor Voodoo Violet.
