Title: Fuel filler neck gasket
Post by: Tony 73 on September 09, 2020, 02:39:42 AM
Which way up ? Does the flat side lie on the trunk floor or does the side with the edging.

My internet search has not provided an answer, Can not find any clear photos.

Thanks for your help.

The way it's mounted in the picture is correct  :bigthumb:

I dunno, I think that lip goes up. The way the old one was mounted.

I'm looking at the spout in the middle, is there a way to flip that around even ?

Yes, I think it just flips inside out. I'm pretty sure any car I've taken apart had that outside lip pointing up, I am old though....

 I have no doubt the metal side was down as pictured on the right on my '73 Challenger

Lip up is how mine was. I replaced my original one about 3 years ago and remember it being lip up.

Finally found the memory card that had photos of my friends 71 340 cuda.

What do you know, I took a photo of the seal, looks like lip down ?

The tube, seal and latch shouldn't have body color on them.  That car has had some work done to it so I wouldn't use it for factory reference material.  :alan2cents:

My cuda was lip up. I think it would seal better with the flat down as well. Here is a untouched trunk of a 70 challenger as far as I know. It's hard to see but it looks lip up as well
