    1965 Dodge 383 Fuel Boiling

    When the engine gets hot it will start to bog down under acceleration. When I open the hood, I can see the fuel bubbling inside my fuel filter. As this is happening, the fuel level visible inside the filter is also dropping. What is the best solution here? A bigger fuel pump to keep the lines...

    1965 Dodge 383 Motor Bogging Down Under Hard Acceleration

    I posted recently about a similar issue I was having with my car, possibly the same one. Since then, I have replaced the fuel pump pushrod, verified the function of my fuel pump, and installed an Edelbrock AVS2 650 (Which runs perfectly). The issue no longer occurs when normally accelerating up...

    1965 383 Carburetor Recommendations

    I have recently discovered that my car's original Stromberg WWC 2-Barrel is leaking horribly from multiple non-repairable locations. So it is time to buy a new carb. The motor has an Edelbrock Performer intake manifold and a Pertronix Ignitor II ignition. In the near future, it will be getting...

    1965 Dodge Polara w/ 383 Losing Fuel While Driving

    A few days ago, I finally got my car timed correctly and it runs great. But there is a problem I have not been able to figure out. After hard acceleration, or accelerating normally up a hill the car will run out of fuel at the carb. It has a new gas tank, sending unit, fuel pump, and all fuel...

    QA1 Front Suspension on a 1965 Dodge Polara

    I finally got my car on the road a few days ago. The factory suspension is in good shape with the exception of some sagging leaf springs. However, I really dislike the vague, floaty feeling the car has. Has anyone tried putting the QA1 tubular suspension parts or entire front end kit on a C...

    Car will not start, unable to figure out why.

    Hello, I last posted on here a couple months ago about my project car not wanting to start. At the time I had very little experience with working on old cars. I have since learned much more, and I have repaired the entire fuel system. Despite all my best efforts I still cannot manage to get the...

    '65 Polara 383 Not Starting

    The car has air, fuel, spark, and gets 90-100 psi compression. However, it wont start. About 2 weeks ago I was able to get it to briefly run off starter fluid but it wont even do that anymore. I have no idea where to go from here and any suggestions for what to check next would be greatly...

    Fuel Not Exiting Carburetor Fuel Bowl

    I have a 383 powered 1965 Dodge Polara with a Stromberg WWC 2-barrel carburetor. The car will crank but not start, it has spark and compression but no fuel. I have cleaned and rebuilt the carburetor, the float assembly works properly and will let the fuel bowl fill completely. However, the fuel...

    Unable to siphon fuel from tank

    I have a 1965 Dodge Polara sedan I am currently restoring. I added gas to the tank about a week ago, and need to remove it to install new fuel lines. I have a functioning siphon pump but am unable to get fuel out of the tank with it. The fuel filler is behind the license plate holder. The tube...
