    1968 Dodge Monaco not starting, also has exhaust manifold leak.

    Many, many thanks. Just to be clear at my end... Fuel pump was replaced late last year; fuel filter at the same time. I get your suggestion to add a second fuel filter, before the pump. Are you suggesting that (a) the new fuel pump may have failed and (b), whether it did or not, to replace...

    1968 Dodge Monaco not starting, also has exhaust manifold leak.

    Apologies. 383. Carter 2bbl. Reason I'd replaced it in late '22 was that it was leaking and would stall on acceleration. I was told the ethanol in gasoline just takes its toll over time on older carbs. Remans are built to withstand the ethanol better, or so I was told.

    Restoration (engine rebuild) shops in Montgomery County, Maryland.

    Many thanks. That's one I'd identified online and was planning to visit. Have you/someone you know had experience with them?

    1968 Dodge Monaco not starting, also has exhaust manifold leak.

    One at a time... This vehicle has not seen a lot of action in around 5 years, since my sainted mechanic passed and the pandemic followed. In the last couple of years, through another fine mechanic, I've installed a new carb (23 years since the last) and fuel pump/filter (just last November...

    Carburetor for '68 Monaco

    Thanks, Ross. Just had a delightful conversation with their head of tech in Winnipeg. It's good to know there are still some very good companies out there.

    For my future reference, anyone familiar with reman carbs by AutoLine Products Ltd. in Canada? Retail distribution in the US is via Rock Auto. Thanks.

    Carburetor for '68 Monaco

    Thought I'd update this group. Had a wonderful conversation this morning with Uremco's owner, who gave me a great education about the business, these reman carbs, etc. (All confirming the wisdom in this chat.) He even thought he recognized that 1998 reman part number I reported as being from...

    Carburetor for '68 Monaco

    Okay. Really last question for the night. (Maybe) Still looking at Uremco options. When I look at that Uremco replacement, I get different pictures depending on the site. The top photo is from their site - and this looks pretty much exactly as the Carter. The second photo is taken from an...

    Carburetor for '68 Monaco

    One last question for tonight. Since the tab is no longer on the carb, how can I/he be absolutely sure about getting the right kit?

    Carburetor for '68 Monaco

    It isn't puking fuel. But there was a fair bit of grime around the vent. I'll post a few photos I took earlier. Maybe they'll mean something. Maybe not.

    Carburetor for '68 Monaco

    All good thoughts. Car has sat a lot. Too much, and that's been my fault. Fuel pump isn't all that old but I have one if needed and a fuel filter is a given. There was a time when I had nothing but trouble with carbs, mostly in the 1980s. I trusted folks when I should have asked more...

    Carburetor for '68 Monaco

    Thanks, Dave. Trying to figure this out while I have too much else going on. I know I can't tackle this myself. The carb may have other issues. Not sure what that little vent is at the top, but some gas may have let out there at one point. Really uncertain as to my best course. But you...

    Carburetor for '68 Monaco

    Hello, everyone. New to this site, but not to this vehicle. In the family since new. Hasn't seen much action in the last few years. Sainted mechanic/friend of 20 years passed and I've been in mourning since. Driven it rarely of late. COVID hasn't helped. Have a new mechanic, who seems...

    Welcome EFinMD to FCBO!

    We've owned a 68 Dodge Monaco sedan since new. My sainted mechanic retired a few years ago, and then passed suddenly. Still in mourning. Location: Maryland
