Finally getting around to the interior on my 64 Valiant Convertible and putting on the bolt on wheel covers that I purchased a few years ago. I need the long lug nuts that are skinny enough to fit in the holes of the bolt-on wheel covers, but can't seem to find any. Attached is an example...

Hi, I've finally gotten around to finishing the interior and wheels/tires on my 64 Valiant convertible. It came with the dog dish caps, but I've had a set of the full bolt-on wheel covers I'd prefer to use. But I can't seem to locate any lug nuts that are long and skinny enough to use on the...

Anyone have a good, working bushing and linkage that fits directly behind the accelerator pedal for a 64 valiant slant six? The pedal looks the same for all 64-66 A bodies, so I assume the bushing behind it would be interchangeable. The one on my valiant is all worn, and the gas pedal is all...

Anyone have experience or recommendations on replacing/repairing the bushing assembly on the gas pedal for a '64 valiant /6? Someone looks to have tried to repair the bushing right behind the pedal at some point and the pedal requires a lot of pressure and then suddenly leaps forward. If...

Looking for an Offenhauser four barrel intake for the /6. Summit is backordered on the new ones until mid May.

I'm having some trouble with an original 1920 on a 225, 64 Valiant Vert. Idles very smooth and light throttle is great. But, any more throttle than just a bip will cause the carb to cut out, stumble or sputter. Just did a quick rebuild, changing out springs and accel. pump, but did not do an...

I'm considering trading the SBP ralley wheels currently on my 66 cuda to the 64 valiant. I really like the look of the American Racing Torque Thrust II on the 66 cuda. I'm considering getting the 4.5" adapter plates to run the 4.5" american racing wheels. Has anyone done this and can give me...

Hey guys, just rebuilt the 273 in my 66 cuda and need a little help getting the holley tuned in. Basically a stock rebuild: Comp Cams Duration 250/260, Lift .432/.444, factory intake and exhaust, used a holley 390 CFM I had. Car idles and cruises great but does stumble a bit when I get on the...

Bill, if I sent you a pic of the bolt location, would you know the length?

Thanks Pishta!

Anyone have a diagram of the bolts for a 273 water pump? Just rebuilt the engine and the left water pump bolt holding the alternator lower bracket is leaking. Feels like it's a bit too short - i'm not getting any bite on the thread once it's all the way in. Need to know what length each of the...

Anyone have pics of a first-generation barracuda with Torque Thrust II's? I have a 66 formula S with 14" ralley wheels that I'm considering trading out for new polished Torque Thrusts but haven't seen any on a first gen car and can't decide if they would look better than the ralley rims...

I've just rebuilt my 66 commando 273. Got everything together and ended up having a bad cam from the rebuild kit. Ordered Comp cam and lifters - Lift .432/.444. Got everything back together and pushrods are too long for specs in Comp data sheets. I traded my adjustable rockers and pushrods...
