Hello, I have a 65 valiant with a 273. I rebuilt and upgraded many of the pieces on this engine when I restored the car 15 years ago. I replaced my old style timing cover for a post 70's version with the scale on the driver's side. I also replace the harmonic balancer and timing gears at that...

Hi Guys, I'm looking for a source for a new speedo cable. The trans is a TF6/904 in a 65 Valiant with a 273. The cable has the gear attached to the cable on the trans end, haven't been able to locate one like it. Any ideas? Picture attached

What is this car worth in your opinion? Funny that my last post here was 2014; many years and mucho dinero later I want to share with you guys where this project is at. I've delayed this for all these years because there was always one more thing to do.... you probably know that story. So all...

Hi Guys, I'm stumped and need so advice. I recently pulled the 273 out of my 65 Valiant (leaving the trans in the car) to have some engine work done. When the engine was ready to come out I had to push the car back a few feet to get the hoist into position, no problem. Pulled the engine and...

I built my 273 quite a few years ago with a high output oil pump (I was getting about 75 psi on my mechanical oil gauge). Recently I've actually started driving this car and after about 200 miles I noticed smoke out of the exhaust. I've also noticed dirty plugs and an oil film inside my new...

I installed a Mopar performance master cylinder with no booster when I converted my 65 Valiant to front disc brakes. It's been installed for a number of years (it had pedal pressure) but I had never actually taken the car out and driven it more that around the block. Now I'm ready to drive...

Swapped out my 2 bbl for a Carter AFB and a Edelbrock LD4B manifold. What I don't have is the correct kickdown linkage for the V8 w/ 4bbl. I thought I could use the existing 2 bbl set up, but after reading all the posts about kickdown geometry etc. I'm thinking the correct linkage would be the...

Here's the video of my little 273 being fired up after headers were installed. Well that embed didn't work, here, try this - http://youtu.be/lz9TlhvpIXY

Hi guys, I've finally gotten my engine together and started. Its a 273 with headers a ABF 4 bbl and an Engle cam. It seems to run OK but I haven't taken it out on the road for a real good run yet. The question I'm hoping someone can help me with is what should I set my ignition timing at? I...

Hi guys, I'm in the process of re-assembling my 65 valiant 273 (AV-2) with a 904 trans and column shift. The problem is I've lost or misplaced the shift cable bracket that mounts on the steering column. This little bracket (see picture attached) is what both the shift and park cables are...

Hi guys, I'm putting a Carter AFB 4299S on my 273 Valiant convertible. I upgraded from a 2bbl manifold to a Edelbrock LD4B high rise manifold. Alas, I'm lacking the bits that will connect the cable and the kick-down rod to the carb, I'm also missing the bracket that hold down the throttle...
