Glamour Shots.. '62 Valiant Wagon
2/27/23:
I will still be looking for a Functioning Low Horn (it's the driver's Side Horn - I Think it's a Low tone)
I spiffed it up, looks nice, but does not work :-( The Horn contacts between the steering wheel and the little brass contact wheel on the turn signal switch need cleaned.. it beeps only in certain areas of steering angle - hafta get that solved.
I ordered the proper Distributor Upper and Lower Gaskets / O Rings. the Distributor had no o ring up top and the 61 year square cut ring in the lower cavity. As a temporary solution I cut down this sort of unknown gasket from my supplies... It fit the bottom of the distributor, but does not fit the gasket register correctly in the block... it's temporary.
I am not sure what these gaskets are for, but I have a number of them in my pile of slant 6 engine gasket sets.
The ID fits the Distributor well, but the OD needed cut down.
Here are the NOS 1982 Spark plug wires:
Might get dinked at the Concours show circuit but that's okay.
Replaced this failing molded wiring mess with a non stock crimp on ring connector.
It was for the coil power... sort of important to be functional.
Right side Engine mostly spiffed (especially if you don't look at the grease and grime on the side of the block below the head!)
Some time in the future .. Clean up the ugly half baked Aluminum intake, Get A proper Air Filter Housing - I am thinking the 1962-1965 B engine unsilenced type, to replaced the 14" JC whitney / Ebay special that is on there now. Detail the Headers / JEt Hot coating / Clean up Detail the Starter, clean up the Ballast Resisitor Mount, Case for the Horn Relay, Starter Relay and the Back side of the voltage regulator. Basically all of the stuff that was factory cadmium plated. Maybe I will get those disc brakes on there this summer too.
