I have always had to monitor the fill rate on the 70 Charger and my old 66 Dart...if left on auto, it would spill over the side of car. I could hear it making noise in the 70 when it's starting to burp. The 66 Dart never took it fast and almost always made a mess.

Never had any fill issues with either of my 66's

Funny you should mention this, I have never had this problem with my R/T, but the when I fill the Daytona, keeps taking forever, little by little otherwise it comes back out the filler neck, maybe the restoration they did is the problem.  Will have to look into this.
too many to list!

I remember having the same problem on my '70 back in the day. It wasn't horrible but it was a pain and there were several times that it puked gas out and down the quarter panel. The size of the vent tube seems suspect to me. The diameter is pretty small for the volume of fuel modern pumps put out IUMO.

  :yesnod:  yeah think you on to something , vent tube !! never had a problem at the pump , but if put gas in it out of a can with a funnel it backs up , pouring fast  ,  though it would be ok with vent  ,   i have the original vent pipe & the way it goes through the trunk floor  , its easy to slightly kink it when removing it ,  my be cause its small internal diameter even though it looks ok on the out side , it causes some restriction ,  i ran compressed air through mine  60psi , & no way was it  60 psi coming out the other end  , more like 10 ,
been meaning to investigate this for a while   :scratchchin:

I always had to bounce the car in order to let the air escape

I don't remember having that issue on any of my 68s. My Power Wagon is horrible though. Probably takes 45 minutes to fill both tanks.

Maybe it's just a 69-70 thing. Let's hope so. :angel:

I had it on my 67 prior to changing out the filler neck.
