    /6 to 360 engine question

    Magnum looks like a 90s truck engine. LA Looks like it belongs in there. (Small details) more power potential in the Magnum but the LA has been plenty of fun in my ‘65 Valiant!

    [WANTED] 65 Valiant Rear Trim Panel

    I am looking for a NICE rear trim panel for a 65 Valiant. The piece that goes above the bumper, under the trunk lid and between the taillights. Mins is too banged up to use on my car.

    Has anyone here used the Holley EFI pumps?

    DIY mouse trap

    I had problems with rats in my rv. Pizza crumbs or some stinky cooked fish work really well as bait. I set a trap with the fish and within 15mins the rat was caught!

    Cat wiskers AKA window felts.

    My advice: Take the glass out; it’s a little extra time but it makes the install process a lot easier. Use plastic clip removal tools to remove the old ones. I installed mine without the glass and I just chilled and sipped on a few beers while I did it ;)

    The outer door doesn't seal; you still need a gas cap on the inside. The challenger’s factory fuel neck is plastic so welding isn’t an option. If you put the door exactly where the old one was your original fuel neck will literally slide right in through a rubber grommet and into your tank...

    I think it would look great! The nice thing about it is once it’s installed your factory fuel neck will slide right in and into the fuel tank and you can use your original gas cap!

    I agree! To me my car tells a story, and now I’m writing new chapters in that story with every turn of the key!

    65 Conversion Speedo Cable

    My speedo still doesn’t work because I don’t have the right cable. Does anyone know if there’s a cable I can get to convert a ‘65 speedo to a ‘73 Charger trans? Thanks!

    I have the rear trim piece, I just haven’t made the time to polish it like the rest of the trim. It not in the best condition and it a lot of work! I put about 12 hours into the grill alone to get it where its at! I am looking for another rear panel in better condition if I can find it!

    Starter issues again! Freakin Solved!

    Everything is 100% brand new, including the engine and battery. Everything has been wired correctly and it was working with no issues previously but over time started going out and now nothing. Everything else is off when cranking so we have no other items competing for current. I am going to...
