hi guys, I have a 7.25 suregrip cone style. The cones and spider gears are good but the compression springs are broken. They measure 1 3/16 x 1/2”. Does anybody have any idea where a person can find replacements?

Toolman , do you know if those shortys work with power steering?

Awesome, much appreciated Dartman

Thanks guys, I do have the proper 66-67 seats with seatcovers on order through pro fit.But still need the stiffening plates. So far I have a line on a couple consoles locally but still need mounting brackets and all shifter components

Thanks for info Tim. I will look at my tails haft housing. The Trans is not original so anything goes. As far as the brackets, I "believe " they are the same for all 66-67 abodies, but not absolutely certain

Hi guys, one of the next things I'm going to do on my 66 Valiant is swap from column shift to center console floor shift. I am hoping somebody has done this before and can give me pointers on what to be aware of. I am still in search of the console and shifter I'm in no hurry to get this job...

Lou, are you still running the 7 1/4 rear end? Because it looks like the tires are same size in 14 or 15

Awesome. Thank you

Anyone?

Hi guys, I picked up some 15x7 steelies with a 4" bs. For my 66 Valiant Signet with 7 1/4 rear end I am hoping to put some 245/60/ 15 on the rear. Before I pull the trigger on them I would like some input from you guys. Has anyone run those on their 63-66 abody without mods? Thanks

Do you know if these will work on 66 Valiant? I am relatively sure the fronts will but do not know about the rear?

Lou3500 do you have any pictures? Im not opposed to 14". Now if I understand correctly how backspace works, if those wheels were 4" backspace that would put more on the body side and less on the springs. Am I understanding correctly?

Thanks MPH. That looks good, I might just go with that set up. Cheers

Thanks for input guys. Looks like a couple local guys too. Commando, I will measure and thanks for the tip. Loving the 66 barracuda, I have had no less than 4 of those and 2 in red. One was my first car ever and other was a 4 speed car. What size wheels and tires you running? Poison dart the...

Thanks for the info Mike. Summit has both the 15X7 4" bs, and 15x8 4.5 backspace. If it is fees able I would prefer the 15x8. But I would sure hate to have them not fit. Your dart looks great and I went thru your 273 build post and looks and sounds awesome.

Needing some input have a 66 valiant all stock rear suspension and I am wanting to put a larger wheel/tire combo on rear. I'm looking at a 15X7" with 4.0" backspace or if possible 15X8" with 4.5" backspace. Question is A; has anybody used either size wheel on a stock early A body? B...

Thanks for all the input. I did find out the hard way about grinding a small amount of the tab off for exhaust manifold clearance. Thanks to a thread on FABO. I found that thread as I was doing an internet search for why my manifold broke when I installed it. I guess I did not mention that the...

Thanks for your response. The research I have done tells me this combination will not work with my column shift/PS.

Hi Guys I am building a 66 Valiant with a 318. I am using stock exhaust manifolds so I understand that my flow and power is limited. The only headers availible for my application ( A/T PS Column shift) are the fender well headers and at this point I am not willing to cut the inner fender wells...

Thanks for your input. I do find it humorous that the gaskets for the 66 Barracuda are easy to find at a reasonable price but the 66 Valiant are obsolete. Perhaps because less people destroyed their Barracudas and viewed the Valiants as more of a disposable car. This is the first Valiant I have...

I also found out today that hard way that the gasket for the 66 valiant is unobtainable. Not sure if the old one will be reusable.

Im relatively new to this forum and my project has been in paint and body since I joined. Here is my project. 66 Valiant Signet mild 318. this picture is fresh out of the paint booth. have new windshield going in next week. The rear window is in great shape however it appears as though the rear...

Thanks for the tip. Doesn't look like they have it either. One year, one model only. This should be fun. lol

Does anybody know where I can find a rear window Gasket for a 66 Valiant?

Will do. It might be a couple weeks though.

Hello again, Since joining this forum I have not had the opportunity to share my project. I have a 66 Valiant Signet mild 318 AT. It has been getting the paint and body done and just came out of the paint booth yesterday. (thank you Retro Rods Monroe Wa.) The Grill is getting polished and the...

Thats funny,I totally thought I was the first to come up with this clever name. lol. Actually my good friend calls me the valiant one. Coincidentally my last name also translates to Valiant.

cool, do you have pictures?

if anyone has a nice pair of 14x5.5 SBP steel wheels hit me up
