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...

I was out with the car on Sunday when I heard a loud tapping sound. Turns out #2 exhaust lifter is shot. Probably less than 100 miles since the rebuild. I'm assuming this is what causing the engine to act up and then die at 4000. Anyone had this happen after a new rebuild?

Stock rebuild, but switched to non-adjustable rockers on the commando 273 with hydraulic cam. Haha, the fuel filter is new! I'm going to check the plug wires and coil on Sunday and see where that leads.

I just had my 273 rebuilt, .030 bore. Put it back in and runs great at low rpm around town. But once I hit 4000, it's almost like the engine just stops pulling. And, if you rev up the engine in neutral to around 4000, it starts missing once it idles back down and sputters a bit. Any...

Selling parts that came with my 66 cuda to convert column shift auto to console. Manual steering column, console (decent shape but with wear) and shifter. Previous owner planned to convert to console, but not in my to-do list. I think the console is a second gen though. $350 + shipping. I think...

Sorry, I mean the top of the piston to the top of the block has a small gap (top of piston and block are not flush). Piston diameter looks fine.

Hi, my dad and I are rebuilding a /6 for a 64 Valiant convertible. It's back from the machine shop, .030 bore, and we are putting it back together. Only problem is a gap between the top of the piston and the block deck - probably about 1/16th of an inch. Any ideas? Did the machine shop get...

Thanks, guys! Unfortunately discovered I need a bottom end rebuild after pulling the tranny to replace some seals. Wrist pin on # 7 was wearing an awful grove in the wall and bearings looked pretty bad. I know I should probably put in a 318 but it's all original.

Hey, guys. Was curious if anyone could help decode fender tag for my new 66 formula S. The body color code doesn't match up with the codes on a few random websites I've checked. Also, any way to tell what kind of gears the car has? Thanks.

Hey, everybody. I just purchased a 66 formula S with older edelbrock card and electronic ignition. When the car is cold, it starts right up. But, after the car has been ran for a bit and warm, it takes a lot longer to start up and then has a rough idle and wants to go dead until it gets...

Hello. I'm new here and am sorting out some problems with my 66 cuda I bought last weekend. On the drive back from Chicago, I can through some heavy rain and water was leaking from under the left corner under the dash. Couldn't really pull over and figure out where exactly it was coming from...

Just bought a 66 cuda formula S. Prior owner put in new carpet in the front and rear seats but didn't get around to replacing the carpet in the rear hatch. Anyone know how difficult it is to install carpet along the rear fenderwells in the cargo area? Legendary has pre cut pieces for the rear...

Hi everyone. I'm new here. Just bought a 66 Cuda S model. I'm down in Atlanta and plan to use it as a daily driver. We've had a mild summer but I still think she will need AC. Any suggestions on a unit to put in? I've known folks to buy the universal unit from Auto AC Solutions, but don't...
