I had to take the hood off then take the hinge off. I needed a wood pallet but I didn’t have one so I used a fold up metal chair. I laid the hinge down and attached a ratchet strap and started clicking it stretched the spring and I lined it up with the groves on the new hinges. At that time I...

Sorry just reviewed title am-fm 😊

Is it am or am-fm? I repaired an am-fm that I bought for parts, even though my car came factory am. Have you opened it? You might get lucky and have a broke solder joint.

Perhaps the water came from the canister. The charcoal was wet and mushy and the car set outside for the three years I tried to buy it.

I haven’t ran ethanol in this car. I’m quite content with 90 octane. We have 93 if I want to drive 15 miles but 90 is 5 minutes down the road. For a H code engine it does really good. I don’t know how black charcoal makes white junk but it do.

Thanks me too. Mine looks functional but nothing but air inside it now.

That white junk came from fuel canister. Charcoal broke down from being wet. Turned to mush and made white junk. Only found out by blowing on line from canister made white junk come out large hole in middle of canister.

I haven’t ever ran corn gas. We have very good real gas here. Gas is white reminds me of Amoco in the 70s.

The charcoal from the fuel canister made that mess. I have never put corn gas in this car. The charcoal was mush when I blew on the hose white junk came out top of canister. At the vent entrance to gas tank white junk growing on it. Removed all charcoal drilled out bottom of canister nothing but...

Fuel vapor canister was at fault. The charcoal was deteriorating kinda like mush.

When I replaced all rubber hoses I used fuel clamps. Much better thanks

Well it only took two years to finally correct my going dead at top end. I tried everything from coil, 12 volts on the coil, power valve, jets, add electric fuel pump, blow out the fuel lines, then thought plug wire, or maybe cam and springs were doing it. Once I didn’t have a plug wire seated...

I have installed a tach so now I can monitor my rpm range. I’ve also made great improvement with a simple fix. I reseated my factory look plug wires in the distributor. I couldn’t see or feel a problem but one or more must have been unseated. I’ve hit 90 mph without a miss. The engine turns...

I have a spacer I’ll take a look see thanks

I used the standard ole clamps. Is that a gear clamp? Also I just used regular hose I so far haven’t used corn gas.
