I am curious also about this sock thing. A old gym
sock shoved in the gas tank filler hole would not cause vapor lock it would
cause gas to evaporate. Not good when gas is about $3 a gallon. I haven't been
following this particular thread as I am trying to catch up somehow on emails.
Inside the gas tanks of some AMCs you have a small
cylinder net that covers the duck gas tube in the gas tank. I have had these
collapse before but never causes the car to stop it only causes it to be starved
for gas. I may add that I also run most of my AMC V8s WITHOUT THEM, instead
putting a clear aftermarket filter between the frame rail and before the fuel
pump. I also run a secondary clear fule filter before the carb. Some, like my
Rebel covnertible 'Machine' with the 401, have been run this way since the 1980s
and no problem.
