Need wiper arms for a 62 Valiant. Zip is 30458.

Temp. sending unit question. My temperature gauge is reading hot after about 5 minutes. It is not pegged out, but almost. I have checked the temp. of the coolant with a laser and it is holding about 160-170. I have replaced the gauge and sending units with new ones (several times) and checked...

Vacuum @ 550 rpm is 18.5. Shouldn't it be some higher? Also, the engine originally had a drool tube but it has been converted to a PCV valve since the new Holly 390 had a port for it. Will this work or should I convert it back to a drool tube and plug the carb PCV vacuum port?

Most parts for a Valiant are the same as for a Lancer. The hood, doors, grille and the mouldings are different. If you are referring to quarter patch panels, they should be indentical for both cars. These might be difficult to find in the US, but they are available from various sources in...

Thanks. I intend to check the vacuum this weekend. I'll also try some of the suggestions to see if it will help.

Thanks for the suggestions. I drove the car again today to observe a little closer. Even though it cranks good, it is skipping when idling and at most RPM's. I didn't notice it earlier. However, it stops skipping completely and runs smooth when accelerating. I'll have to check with the...

I just rebuilt a '62 aluminum 225. The engine cranks good and idles smooth. When it builds up a little RPM's, the engine starts to skip, but when accelerating, the skip disappears and the engine pulls strong. When you level out at cruise, it starts to skip again. I installed a mild cam...

After 2 years, my Valiant Signet is finally finished. The aluminum 225 has a mild cam, Holly 390, headers w/dual exhaust, electronic ignition and several other upgrades. I added an A-833 tranny and a 7.25 Suregrip w/3:55 gears for conversation fodder. The Mopar 14" rally wheels and redline tires...

I am near Savannah. I am aware of the NGMC but am not a member. Been to some of the shows.

I've got a 62 identical to yours. Have some spare parts and a lot of experience with what not to do and where to find what I didn't have. Also, have a 62 Lancer parts car with a lot of rust. Not much left on it but the drive train.

Hi Rob, Looking for the rear spearhead door mouldings. My Signet is also missing both sides.

I've got a 7.25 Suregrip with a 2.92 ratio but want to change the ratio to a 3.23. I also have an open 7.25 with a 3.23 ratio that I can use for parts. Will the ring gear and pinion interchange between the two rears? Do I have to change both the ring gear and the pinion or just the ring gear...

Ketone Automotive matched my original interior paint and offered it in an aerosol can. Excellent quality, service and price. Website is www.touchupspraypaint.com. Phone is 847-669-3604.

I did call them and struck out. They know nothing about it.

I just had my instrument bezel rechromed and it came back without the blank plate that covers the square holes where the auto buttons are. My car has manual transmission. Apparently, Mopar used the same bezel for both auto and manual with just a cover over the holes for manual. Anyone have...
