Just checked mine with all the problems with these pumps better to check than be sorry .
It has been a couple of years since I installed the new pump, I plan on checking it annually.
An update on my car running rough .
I had a friend come over to help with this problem he reset the point gap and changed the rotor which was warn.
e started the car and test drive no hesitation at all and as a added bonus it starts much easier .
Thanks for all your suggestions
PS I had just purchased a electric fuel pump to help with the starting problem.
I will hang onto it but hopefully it won't be needed.
Thank you I will look at it all today .
Coil is fairly new not sure what the plastic rub block is but will look it up as with the grease will look that up also.
I had my car out for a spin today and on the way home it started running rough .At 50 MPH it started hesitating felt like it was going to backfire .
IT idles just fine, it had the hesitation through a three gears .Any ideas would be helpful I thought of replacing the spark plugs they are three years old .
the carburetor has been rebuilt .
Thanks
I am no mechanic but I would flip the tie rod ends back to there original positions to see if that solved your problem.
Like I said i am no mechanic but why did you flip them to begin with?
If I was you I would drop the oil pan give it a good cleaning along with the pickup pan.
I would also not use a detergent oil unless your engine has been rebuilt .My 48 is a Canadian dodge with the 25 inch 218
i purchased a Plymouth manual to make it easier while doing repairs .
Good luck love your car.
Cleaning the vent is part of my spring check up for the season ahead ,but when I did the rear break shoes and cylinders I didn't change the seals and bearings. Opps.

This is from a 59 dodge 230 but can't see if there is a spring . Look if you insert the new filter and screw down the lid tight and roll the engine or start it you will know if its going to leak . Don't ask how I know.
First I must apologize for hijacking this topic .
Thanks Rick it has been a few years that i have dot 5 in my system. I don't recall the process I used but I probably didn't get it all out and I certainly did't flush with this alcohol brake line cleaner .
I do want to do it right so I go to my NAPA dealer and get this alcohol and pore it in the empty master cylinder and go through the bleeding the brakes .
How does one know when to switch back to DOT 5 or Dot 3 and then how to know when all the alcohol is removed ?
