Hi Plymouthy, What model 2006 dodge did the master cylinder come out of? What reservoir adapter did you use?

Thanks for the information Sam.

Hey Sam, what model master cylinder did you use and where did you get the remote reservoir adapters?

Thanks for all the input and help. They used a 3/8 compression insert on this tank. I found some at my locale home depot.

forgot the photos

I was able to get the old fitting off of the old fuel tank and there is what looks like a copper type ferrel but it is not like the one suggested with both sides of the ferrel beveled. I attached photos of the fitting and ferrel taken off the old tank. Looks like the fuel line is single flared and the ferrel is a different style. Not sure what type it is.

I wasnt aware that a brass fitting is needed. the depth of the gas tank fitting isnt deep, not sure if the brass fitting will work. Attached is the fitting I have from a donor car, Was difficult to find the correct fitting new.

Hi, I have a simple question regarding the connection of the fuel line to the gas tank. Does it require a single or double flare? I replaced my gas tank in my 52 dodge and preparing the fuel line for connection. I'm using 5/16 copper nickel line and I am not sure if I am to make a single or double flare to seal the connection. I attached a photo of the gas tank connection. thanks

Thanks for all the suggestions. I did do the $1 bill on the tail pipe trick but being in Canada we don't have $1 or $2 bills so i used a notepad paper and the paper did get sucked back intermittently. The engine does have a slight intermittent hesitation like a misfire when idling so it could be sticky valve issues. I will check on plug lines, rotor, cap but they are relatively knew having been replaced last summer. I have been using a vacuum gage with my tuning the engine. The adjusting the idle mixture screw doesn't seem to have much of an affect on the idle smoothness. It is currently at 1 1/4 turn out.

Tried setting timing to 10*BTDC and reduced idle to 600 rpm then took it for a drive and got a lot of back firing and hesitation when accelerating. I set it the timing back to TDC and had idle speed to 700 rpm and it drove with good power and acceleration without any backfire. Seems to run best at this timing. It’s just the engine shakes a bit at idle , my vacuum gage shows a reading at 18 with a slight shakey needle. It’s just not a smooth idling engine and the spark plugs shows inconsistent burning between plugs 1 , 2 and the other 4 plugs.

Thanks for the response. I will try the settings you suggested and see if it helps.

Hi, this is my first time posting. I have a 1952 Canadian Dodge Regent 4 door sedan with a 218 ci flathead 6. The engine has been rebuilt in 2008 and has 6000 miles on it since the rebuilt. It has a pertronix in the distributer and it is a 12v negative ground. All cylinders have compression readings at 150 psi. I have been struggling a bit to set the timing as the engine idles rough at start up but after warm up it idles a bit smoother but not much better. I have set the initial timing at TDC idling at about 750 rpm any lower it shakes alot. I have the original Carter BB carburetor that has been rebuilt several times over the years. I have noticed that spark plugs in cylinder 1 and 2 are dry sooty indicating it is burning rich but the rest of the spark plugs for the other 4 cylinders are very clean indicating a lean condition. Does anyone know why this might be happening?
