Took the 1977 Dodge Aspen 2 Door Coupe out last week got about 1 mile down the road and she shut down. I was able to get it off the road in a busy intersection thank god. Popped the hood and noticed that the clear fuel filter did not have any gas in it. Called the collectors insurance for a flat bed. Could not get it to pump or start cranked at least 15 or 20 times. Got home removed the fuel filter to see if blockage there was not any primed the carb it fired right up. I was like wtf. 1 hr on the side of road in 95 temp and get home and it fires up.
Went to take the aspen out today pulled it outside so the gas fumes would not kill my lungs started it let it idle for a few minutes and noticed the fuel filter beginning to fill up but then I noticed it looked more like it was boiling in the bottom of the filter more then filling the filter up if my eyes are working correctly. Let it idle till the gas in the filter ran completely dry again. Removed the top hose of the filter manually poured gas in it again and the fuel in the fuel filter ran completely dry again after just a few minutes.
The tank has a new fuel sending unit. The lines have all been replaced. The mechanical fuel pump has been replaced. The carb when the fuel filter does have gas in it when I move the choke manually I can see the jets on both spraying a nice solid stream of gas on both side. I have ran out of ideas. Any other feed back would be greatly appreciated she is aching to be driven more before the summer is over and my right foot needs sum throttle lol. Thank You
