Hi everyone. Had a question about the 1968 Valiant. Were they available with the 273? I don't think I've ever seen one. I'd like to find a 68 Valiant with a 273 if they are available, but would a warmed up 6 be just as good? A have a Valiant now with a 6 and it's slow as a dog. Thanks...

Hi everyone. Do any of the windshields interchange between the 67-69 Valiants and Barracudas? ie Will a windshield from a two door Valiant fit a 4 door, or one from a convertible fit a 4 door, etc. ? Thanks everyone.

Hi everyone. Been looking for a car that an elderly person who doesn't walk well, would find fairly easy to get in and get out of. I'm thinking about a Jeep Patriot or Jeep Compass. Right now we ride around in a first gen Ford Transit Connect. Low passenger seat, wide passenger door, these...

Hi everyone. I want to paint the concrete walls in my basement. They are poured concrete. Do I need to prep the surface with a primer first or can I just start painting? Is there a concrete specific paint I should use or should I use a good exterior paint? I want to use gloss paint. I'll...

Hi everyone. Here's yet another question about a diesel truck. I've looked over the truck forums and they are not as helpful as FABO. Imagine that. Anyway, 98 Dodge 2500 24 valve truck that's close to me I want to look at, the guy says it needs a throttle position sensor. He doesn't say why...

Hi everyone. Questions about an 07 Ram 1500 diesel that I want to go look at. The guy says he's replaced the battery, water pump, thermostat, radiator and also coolant sensor. But it runs hot. He says it might need a head gasket. It's 2500 bucks which seems cheep to me. Of course, if he...

Hi everyone. I have a 68 fastback Barracuda parts car that has lived out its usefulness. Before I send it to the recycler, I was wondering if there were any interior parts I should save. The interior is mostly gone, but there are a couple good panels behind the back seat and trim pieces that...

Hi everyone. Looking for a nice hood for my 60 Valiant. Here's where I'm dreaming, would really love it to be within a couple hours of Atlanta. Okay riddle me this. I've heard that even though the 62 looks like a 60, few or none of the parts interchange. Any truth to this? What about 61...

Hi everyone. You've all no doubt seen the article in Hemmings about Dodge Main. I got to thinking, I wish I had a piece of the factory. Not a big piece, maybe a chunk of concrete, a sign pointing to the bathroom, something of that nature. I've owned 5 Valiants that were built at Dodge Main...

Hi everyone. Looking for a VE wagon, either here in the States or in its home country. If it's still in Australia hopefully it's near Melbourne. Doesn't have to be pristine but not looking for anything beat up or terribly rusted. A VF wagon might work if I can't find a VE. Thanks everyone.

Hi everyone I have a 60 Valiant and the tail lights and brake lights don't always work. I thought it was bad bulbs, but they sometimes work. And they are very dim. I'm guessing the problem is they are 60 years old. Is there a better socket I can get and splice in? Or will original but new...

Hi everyone. Wondered what years' power steering parts were interchangeable? Wanting to put power steering in a 68 Valiant with a 6, I assume the 67-69 parts are the same, but any parts into the 70s that are a direct fit? Thanks everyone.

Hi everyone. Are the battery cables for a small block the same as the ones for a Slant 6? I'm trying to find correct cables and I only see ones for a small block and Hemi. I don't want generic cables from the auto parts store, as I don't want to splice and build all the extra lines that are...

Hi everyone. What is "Rear Air" in a 68 Valiant? I went to pick up my latest Val this week, the seller drove it on the trailer for me, and when I got home and went to take it off the trailer, I heard a fan going, from the back seat. Odd. A little snooping around found a slit in the package...

Hi everyone. Does anyone have a 1968 Valiant painted Surf Turquoise Iridescent? Could you post up a picture? Bonus points if it has light blue interior. Can't envision what this combination would look like. Thanks much.

Hi everyone. Can someone tell me, for a 67 Valiant, what the build code would be on the data plate for June 21? Will it be last line, third from right? Yes I realize that number isn't a guarantee the car was built on that exact date. I know Valiants were built in more than one place, will it...

Hi everyone. Does anyone have a 1967 Dodge painted code MM1, Turbine Bronze Poly? Could you post up a picture of it? I would imagine Plymouth had this color as well but I don't know what the code would be. Thanks everyone.

Hi everyone. Yet another wheel/tire question. I searched the forum but didn't really find what I was looking for. This is for my 60 Valiant V200. What width are the 14" wheels that came on the 68 Valiant? And what is the widest tire I can safely run? And would it make a whole hell of a lot...

Hi everyone. I'd like to hear from the Road Toad experts as to what a 1960 Valiant actually is. I've read more than once that the 60 was its own make/division, but the 61 became a Plymouth. Any idea why this was? I just bought a 60 from member LAVAL60 and am going to register it. I'm...

Hi everyone. I asked this question on a Dodge Van forum I -used- to look at and got a poor response. 1986 Dodge B150, standard trim shorty van. How do the wipers detach from the cowl? There used to be little tabs under the part that goes onto the splined knobs, but after messing around with...

Hi everyone. Does the Imperial data plate decode the same as an A-Body data plate? Specifically I'm talking about the 67 Imperials. I'm looking for a specific build date but have no clue how to tell. If it's different can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks much.

Hi everyone. During production, were the VINs sequential through all car lines or did the last six follow each line? For example, if they made 10 big cars in a row with a VIN of 1-10, and then they made an A body, did the A body's VIN become 11 or 1? Anybody know the first day of production...

Hi everyone. I hate to say that I have no clue what trans I have in my car. 1968 Valiant 225 automatic. Was there only one choice? If not what else could it be? Where does it say on the trans itself? Thanks.

Hi everyone. I have a compound question about a car I'm going to look at. 68 Valiant 225 automatic. I don't know what trans came with the 225. Seller says the trans slips when it's cold, but then doesn't slip when it warms up. If he drives every day it won't slip, but if it sets more than a...

Hi everyone. This is what I have going. The front wall of my basement has failed due to a tree that used to be in the front yard. It's a block foundation and the roots pushed against the wall and it's bowing inward. It has several large cracks and it's just started to leak when it rains...

Hi everyone. In the market for a new TV, and Walmart has a 70" screen. Anybody have a TV this big? It sounds cool but I don't want to buy something like this and get it home just to discover it's annoying to watch. It's like 1000 bucks, trying to do some due diligence before I drop a bunch...

Hi everyone. I bought a junkyard 68 Valiant Signet that I'm taking apart and it has some floormats in it that I've never seen. I have no way to take a picture of them so I'll describe them as best I can. They are both single piece mats that stretch the width of the car, the front one has more...

Hi everyone. This is probably a long shot, but is anyone from the Manhattan, KS, area? I bought a car that was last in this area in the late 90s, early 00s, and I don't have any kind of paperwork but would really like to speak with the previous owner of my car. Found a gas station reminder...

Good morning everyone. This is really the first time I've been seriously hunting MOPAR parts(I usually work on Oldsmobiles) so of course I went to Year One. They have never let me down. What I was looking for this time were battery cables. Correct battery cables for a 68 Valiant were...

Hi everyone. Can someone point me to a place I can get my fender tag decoded? I pretty much have the VIN figured out, but the fender tag is a mystery. I did a search on here and got too much to be helpful. I know people post about this all the time. By the way it's for a 68 Valiant. Thanks...
