    [WANTED] '62 Dodge Lancer Disc Brake Conversion

    I bought the front/rear suspension out of a low mile 69 Barracuda and swapped it all into my 62 Valiant. The front suspension had been converted to Scarebird disc, from what I'm told too pricey/not worth it. Came with a dual master, proportioning valve, shocks, everything. I had to run new lines...

    741 x housing

    Is it leaking? If it ain't broke. I have a few pre-65 rears, nothing wrong with them. Definitely needed a hub puller to swap to 65 drums, now the drum and hub are separate and can pull the drums off same as 65 and up. I pulled the axles from one by removing the backing plates, putting the hub...

    67 2 Speed Wiper Switch Demystified

    I recall when my reverse lights would not come on I would have to turn my wiper switch on and off until the wipers would come on and finally the reverse lights. I have since powered the reverse lights another way, and now both work without issues. Strange set up, imo

    1958 Dodge

    I completely agree, and also completely disagree. I have spray guns and multiple compressors, and I've prepped and painted a few cars. The painting is the easy part, prepping takes weeks/months. The guy who took all the trim off, not the po, took a DA sander and destroyed the finish, gouging...

    1958 Dodge

    The plan is to dive into this car within the next few months. Someone posted a comment on the youtube that it reminded them of a 50s nascar. I was surprised when I realized, over time, this comment has sunk deep into my brain. Found 2 pics today of what I believe is a 57 D-501, hardtop no...

    Rotors available (for now) for K-H disc brake cars

    At this point, I can't tell if my old rotors are the machined type or the same as the new C-Tek rotors. I'll have to compare them to my old old rotors. If I am running the machined rotors now, and those are the rotors I took a grinder to, it was fairly easy and there is no negative impacts...

    Rotors available (for now) for K-H disc brake cars

    Another pic. I recall cleaning up the entire hat because it either rubbed a seal slightly in a spot or two, and/or that's how my brain works and I went overboard, thought any rustacles that develop in the future could/would rub my new seals, or at some point in the pad wear it may, might, could...

    Rotors available (for now) for K-H disc brake cars

    Before/After. It's not even the visible ridge that is the issue, it's right above that. If left alone, as the rotor hat is tapered, it only rubs the caliper seals when the pads are worn down.

    Rotors available (for now) for K-H disc brake cars

    I just hit it with a grinder to take off the excess casting that rubs the caliper piston seals. It was such a small amount, took all of a minute, no negative impacts.

    A833 2nd gear engagement issue

    Just a thought, are the gearshift levers worn? If the squared off part of the lever is no longer square, the shift arm will turn on the lever before moving the fork. My trans would run through the gears fine when the engine was not running, but not shift into 3rd. Basically, it was still in...

    1962 Valiant Signet 200

    On the 62 Lancer? No idea. He never drove it, someone brought it to him to junk and he just kept it with all the rest, knowing it was unique way back then.

    Cowl cover?

    The rear stick on bumper step off my old 2004 Subaru Forester is a perfect fit, contour and all. I used to throw it on there when I parked it outside.

    Bypass ampmeter through bulkhead

    I did this on my wagon years ago: New 10 gauge wire with fuseable link from alternator to starter relay + post. Took black wire off alternator, shortened it, connected it to + on starter relay. Removed it from the ammeter and dead ended it. Black wire has splice in harness that feeds dash...

    Sealed Beam Headlights

    H4s on one car, excellent. Sylvania somethings, terrible. Wagners on another, awesome - but here's the catch, I put a ground hub next to the battery, pigtail from the neg battery cable to the hub. Ditched the headlight grounds to the body, ran new wire to the hub, they're effing bright as heck...

    I used these, 2 of the first, one for the pump, one for the carb. Hose is rated for heat, ran it up over the valve cover.
