You should be proud. You covered a lot of ground in a short time. Not a lot of guys at your age these days could do that🫵. Couple ideas on fuel supply based on my own amateur stumbling around and figuring stuff out on my Cuda. 1) check to be sure your car is running at operating temp, if it is hot it can boil the gas causing vapor lock 2) make sure the gas tank is well ventilated 3) put in a return fuel line to keep the fuel cool 4) check to be sure the fan is close to the rad and if not put in a spacer as that will help run a bit cooler and avoid boiling this crappy modern gas 5) put in a bigger diameter fuel line. Hope these help somehow. Mopar🏁
I applaud your effort and know what you have been through. I've had similar projects but they are back on the road and being enjoyed, some by new owners. Glad to hear of another classic Mopar back on the road!
You have everything to be proud of. I have had the same problem with my coronet and the only thing that seem to solve It was running a return line with an electric pump and a regulator. I've used the more gasket high volume pump and same problem no fuel in the filter this new gas nowadays boils really early and temperature, I had to fix mine and seem to resolve it
Great car and a super effort you put into it. Sorry I didn't check out the car. As for me, I just cruise around in my fastback and quickly found out a fuel bowl level issue. After adjusting them up, I developed a shifting issue. A 1-2 and back to1 shift is not the way to victory. 😅 But nothing seemed to be broken, so I ran the first round of the bracket race and lost by a fender. I actually lost on reaction time. Best of luck to you next year. 👍🏁
Big block mopars are notorious for the fuel pump pushrod wearing and causing a reduction in fuel pressure. It will start and run but when it's under a load or when it gets hot and everything expands it will not put out enough pressure. Measure the pushrod, I'd bet $100 that's it.
I'm having issues but mines a stock 318 with a carter bbd 2 barrel. It runs good when I'm going to work. But getting halfway home it misfire sputtering i built the Carburetor twice sometimes it might coming from the bulkhead connector.
You'll get it Ryan it's just a matter of time and yeah it can be done with a mechanical pump... I do it every day that's all I run are stock mechanical pumps and 87 regular gas.. Now if I had something with better than 9.5 to 1 CR yeah 91 or 94.. And a better carter pump..... I vote six pak.
Wow id love to be able to afford to have a 68-69 dodge Coronet of any version of 2dr other than convertible to build not that kind of money i wish,, anyway cool cars sir, especially your 69 suberbee

A six pack four speed setup would be awesome.
Automatic car but yes I agree
Can't win them all😮better luck next year😅
Knew a couple B5 bees from my highschool days in the 70s. Missouri car by chance ?

@@jameswarren1871 i was thinking that too but it turns out it was the hard line between pump and tank that was bad
