Thought I otta finish this off. While replacing wiper bushings, I found my map light stuffed under my glove box. I reattached it to the dash, and I'd already replaced my switch. Good to go. Thanks everyone who responded. The photos really helped.

Tough to say. Not leaking anymore, but I think my ps pump is shot now. Likely from prior owner running it dry too many times with the box leaking so bad.

Hey 72BluNBlu, I see your from California. Is your car a California smog car? If so, I might have a few more questions for you...

Oh Wow!... Never mind...LOL It's right there in your photo! That's AWESOME! I've never seen a Vacuum amp mounted in that spot before. If you look by the muffler on your AC line with the red cap, the Vacuum Amp is mounted at a 4 o'clock position from the muffler. That's exactly the pic I...

Thanks for posting! Unfortunately, that's not the Vacuum Amp I'm looking for. I've got one of those too. I see your car as AC, just like mine. That little Vacuum reservoir is for the AC controls. The one I'm referring to is just like the one that Woody posted. Just... I can't find any...

Hi All.... I'm on a roll with all these posts tonight..... So... my wipers don't work. Motor works good, but the linkage has come off the motor. When I bought my car, and had a quick check out done on it, the mechanic told me the plastic bushings that hold the arms together were worn out...

Hi All: A quick question about Horns. When I bought my car, the Horn didn't work at all. After some research, and a post about a NYC horns, I managed to get my horn working. Someone along the way disconnected the lead to the horn itself, and the horn relay was missing. I reconnected the...

Thanks everyone for chiming in. Emissions testing in Alberta is not near as bad as my post might make it out to be. Alberta has no emission testing at all. Except for one circumstance..... and I'm that circumstance........ If you bring an car here out of province or out of country, it has to...

Oh...someone asked how the map light label attached. The map light label, is a piece of plastic with a lip on it that says Map Light. The switch mounts though a hole in the dash, the plastic fits over the end of the switch and there's a nut that holds the plastic piece and the switch in the dash.

Thanks very much for posting those photos. I have a good idea of what I need looking for now.

Work on my 1974 Valiant continues to get it past inspection...... I need a functioning emission control system to pass. I've got the heated air intake working, the OSAC system working, the Evap system working and a new EGR valve and CCEGR switch installed. What I can't figure out is where the...

Hey all...figure I should update this post. Basically, I had a brain fart, with the stove on my right intake manifold a contributor. The steering box I got from Rock Auto, a Cardone rebuilt was a perfect fit. Thanks all for the input on this unnecessary wild goose chase.

Will try and post some pics tonight

One more question for tonight :) Does anyone know who can repair the original seat belt retractors? My Driver's side bottom retractor doesn't work properly. It's locking the belt WAY too fast when you pull it out. Have any of you guys run into this? Were you able to fix it yourself? If not...

Hi All: I'm trying to put an order together through Classic Industries. One of the things I need is a door latch for the driver's side. The piece that catches on the door strike moves around and you have to push it into place before closing the door. Classic Industries has door latches for...

My power steering box is leaking....everywhere. So I decided to order a new one from Rock Auto. The box arrived today, but it's way smaller than the power steering box that's in the car. Anyone aware of a smaller power steering box? Will it fit in place of the larger box? I sure hope I...

On my '74 Valiant, the chrome piece that the key fits into the column will do a 360 degree turn with no key in the ignition. It won't start the car, (unless you insert the key) but it spins all the way around. I've seen this on some older Chrysler vehicles before, but have no idea what the...

Thanks Redfish. Found the flasher, replaced it, and after a short fight with my bulkhead connector, all turn signals working

Wow....who knew? Thanks for clearing up that little bit of trivia. 318MoparGuy....that was great..... I saw reference to the City/Country setting in the Service Manual, so that answers that question too. Jack68gts...appreciate the link to the Hamtramck registry page. Also explained the horn...

Anyone know where the turn signal flasher would live on a '74 Valiant? I found the hazard flasher on the left hand side of the instrument panel. However, I can't seem to locate the turn signal flasher. Service manual suggests it's near the ashtray, but I can't find the flasher anywhere. Any...

Any born and raised New Yorkers here? I was troubleshooting a horn issue with my '74 Valiant, and came across in the Wiring Diagrams, reference to something called a New York City Horn. Anyone know what the heck the difference would be between this, and a regular car horn?

Hi: Everyone has given some good suggestions. If you've checked your radio fuse or can definitely assure yourself that the radio is getting power, listen carefully for a little thump or a pop when you turn the radio on. If your not hearing this... there's an issue with the radio itself. If...

Could I impose on someone to take a photo of their map light fixture? I've got the switch, but can't seem to find the light.

Oh yea....there's a pic of the Windshield there....judging from the logo, looks to me to be original glass

Quite the deep pile carpet. I need to replace the whole thing though...carpet in the front of the car is pretty much destroyed

Couple more....

Here's s few poorly composed pics.....

Thought I should post here and introduce myself....I've posted a few posts here, but was waiting to have my Valiant in the garage before throwing this out here. My first Valiant was a '69 Two Hundred six cylinder car. I drove it in the late 80s. Fast forward to today.... I wanted a second...

Hi All: I've got an owners manual and service manual on the way from Faxon, so hope I don't have to ask a question this dumb again....lol. On my car, there is a map light switch on the bottom of the dash beside the hood release. Unfortunately, the switch seems to need replacing....it doesn't...
