1977 dodge sportman

We had a Royal Sportsman, the one with all the windows, 3/4 Ton with the 360 & automatic tranny. It was great for towing, about 11 mpg. The only problem these engines have is that the fuel level 'Float' in the carburator will absorb gas when they get old and alter the level causing the engine to flood out when trying to start. Also a fire hazard.
