    Vapor lock and flooding on 383

    My car has been running great lately, or so I thought. Tonight I had to run a few errands and decided to drive the Newport. I drove about 7 minutes to the first store, was inside for only 5 minutes. Came out and it fired right up no problem. Then I drove about 100 yards to the next store and...

    Just curious where the flapper should be resting at with the engine off? Is there supposed to be a gap? I don't know the technical term for the flapper...choke valve?

    Fuel leaking from fuel tank vent, sounds like coffee maker...???

    Last night I finally was able to take my car for a drive after the intake/carb swap. I drove it for about twenty minutes or so. Not going over 30mph, but quite a few burnouts. When I got home and garaged it, I went and opened the hood to check everything out and that's when I heard a weird...

    67 Newport sounds like its 'missing', any ideas??

    Speedometer pinion gears, help needed!

    Speedo hasn't been correct since I've owned the car. It reads about 20 mph too fast. Finally got around to pulling the pinion gear and its the Red one. The service manual states that I need a white one. So I ordered one off ebay. But the difference between the red and white is ONE tooth. Would...

    Can't seem to fill the fuel tank in '67 Newport.

    Here's another problem that's been bugging me since I bought it. I have a 25 gallon tank but I think the most I've ever gotten into it is like 12 or so. I can put a little gas in but after a few seconds it shuts off and I get a little bit splashing out. Even tried squeezing the trigger as little...

    Does anyone know anything about lug nuts?

    I just got my new wheels in the mail today. Now I need the correct lug nuts to match up to my 1967 Newport. Here's the wheels and lug nuts I bought. It appears that the lugnuts are incorrect, thanks to Summits Live Chat. So i tried live chat again and they wanted to instead sell me spline shank...

    Found Disconnected Linkage, What is it?? Transmission, 67 Newport w/ 383

    I was looking through the engine compartment and saw something like a tube or metal rod just hanging around, going nowhere. I laid down under the driver side door and reached up in there and found that its some sort of linkage from or to the transmission. I found where it was supposed to attach...

    383 power steering bracket TRW with A/C

    I guess my car has the crappy style P/S bracket, self tensioning or whatever and the belt never really gets tight and the whole thing is wobbly. Anyways, I read somewhere about a replacement bracket that is actually solid so I bought it and was reading the directions and it says "not for use...
