ok thanks

1961 is different than all the later ones. it has a vent tube off the filler neck. they have to have non vented cap or the pressure in corners will blow fuel passed the vented cap. the tube in the filler neck allows the fuel topush hard against the cap because the tube lets atmospheric pressure into the tank. on the later trucks with vented cap there is less pressure behind the rushing fuel in

its been a long time since I replaced any hydraulic bell tranny mounts. I seem to recall they only go in one way? like there is a slight offset fore and aft to the bell housing stud and the cross member stud???????

my later sweptlines with vented caps don't build up pressure. vapor recovery is for emission control and mandatory from about 1975 and up.
Forum: Dodge Sweptline Truck General Discussion

probalby the same as the truck engine. I was thinking the port size might be different.
Forum: Dodge Sweptline Truck General Discussion

where does it say its non vented? when I went to napa site there is nothing and when I crossed it to the stant number that one says it is vented.....
Forum: Dodge Sweptline Truck General Discussion

take a vented cap and blow into the relief valve. it will release outward pressure. why do you think modern cars have vapor recovery systems because old tanks vented to atmosphere let fuel vapors out through there vented caps.
Forum: Dodge Sweptline Truck General Discussion

like Kiebert said there is a valve in there. it takes quite a bit of pressure to make it leak out so when the tank is sealed it wont come out in a right turn. but on my truck with the tube it allows the gas to push harder against the cap. I prefer the sealed cap and vent tube the 61s have. they never have fuel leaking down the cab problems
Forum: Dodge Sweptline Truck General Discussion

they also let off pressure. when weather is hot tanks expand. if I had a sealed tank it would be fine but when you have a vent tube AND a vented cap it spills on every right turn with a full tank.
Forum: Dodge Sweptline Truck General Discussion

last year I found the right gas cap for another 61 I had. I just bought another 61 and need another gas cap. Did I post the part number here? did anyone save it? I couldn't find it in the napa book this time. the 61s have to be non vented caps. they have a separate vent tube that comes out of filler neck then vents on passenger side. If I put a vented cap like later trucks have it will

are those your engines? nice propane set up. that engine might have hardened valve seats and/or sodium filled exhaust valves
Forum: Dodge Sweptline Truck General Discussion

that's what I wondering. someone on here probably knows if the angles and ports matchup on the intake.

just picked up a 61 D300 someone put a d600 361 and 5 speed in. I am wondering if a 383 4 barrel manifold will bolt on. I think the 361 is a 1972
Forum: Dodge Sweptline Truck General Discussion

anyone here got a set of rear shock mounts for a d300? also need a set for a W300. they are different.
Forum: Dodge Sweptline Truck General Discussion

yep I like that one a lot.
Forum: Dodge Sweptline Truck General Discussion

any of the D300s for sale?
Forum: Dodge Sweptline Truck General Discussion

nice truck and welcome!
Forum: Dodge Sweptline Truck General Discussion

well that's cool you have all you need right there from the MH. time to bust out the sawzall and the welder. ;/)
Forum: Dodge Sweptline Truck General Discussion

I have to ask what for? better ride? you will lose stability with a load or towing and lose some turning radius.
Forum: Dodge Sweptline Truck General Discussion

you need on from a 67/68 truck with the spacer to move it away from firewall enough to clear the clutch master cylinder.
Forum: Dodge Sweptline Truck General Discussion

dual radiators?!?!?? dodges are the most cold running rigs ever with full cylinder length water jackets. I think someone was over things. I like the truck though

the best shock or strut I have ever used on anything is a Monroe gas magnum. makes old cars and trucks feel like brand new ones.

the motorhomes and other Chrysler industrial applications ran the dash shifter way into the 70s also.
Forum: Dodge Sweptline Truck General Discussion

I ma just splitting hairs now. ;/) I replaced my blower with an aftermarket unit recently and wired it up orange to power and black to ground and it spun the wrong way! no big deal but annoying.
Forum: Dodge Sweptline Truck General Discussion

Technically it is considered "Light Green"
Forum: Dodge Sweptline Truck General Discussion

yep that looks right to me except all the stock blower mots I have had the wrie coming out of the motor is green and meets a black wire via bullet connector about half way to the blower switch....
Forum: Dodge Sweptline Truck General Discussion

those resistors do get hot! I have burned my fingers on one before.
Forum: Dodge Sweptline Truck General Discussion

yes just one wire to the blower. and the power to switch wire is still the factory wire on mine and has spade connector end and is only long enough to reach the wiper switch.
Forum: Dodge Sweptline Truck General Discussion

but if you look at the 1962 manual page I posted above it shows the power source coming from what looks like wiper or ign. sw.. Also the ground wire grounds on the heater box not at the switch. the switch has power in and power out that's it.
