Tried the hose trick to locate the sound. Best I can get is that it is in the #4/#5 area under the valve cover. That's where the explosion and bent pushrods were. Pulled the valve cover, inspected (again), nothing obvious. Observed the running engine and noticed the oil seals on the valve...

OK, thank you all! I'm clean right now for work, but afterward, I'll get dirty and try the hose-listening technique 67dart273, THX. I'm driving it every day. I'm happy my entire exhaust manifold didn't blow off like yours Sireland67, but the ripped apart muffler was pretty impressive. No...

Hello, Hoping for some suggestions! 65 dart wagon 225 1bbl...My #5 cylinder had a MAJOR explosion when I was starting the car one cold morning--blew out the muffler and exhaust gasket at #5. Replaced muffler, adjusted carb/choke. Ran OK, engine sounded a little weird. 2 weeks later, on a...

Thanks Slantsixdan! I like your idea better than screws through the hubcap!

Hello Flatheadgeo! Can you post a picture of your emblems? I don't have the same ones on my V200. cheers, Ann

Hello, still have the stock 13-inch wheels on my 63 valiant, and my hubcaps keep flying off around turns! Can anyone help me figure out how to keep them on? I suppose there is some physics to it somewhere, but I'm not sure what part is most critical. I've tried re-bending the metal to make it...

Painsinner that's a cool emblem! First time I've seen any red there! And it seems to be in the same place that red usually is.

No problem! Thank you! As close as I can look at the images on the www, I would almost swear that I can see something different about the "V". Can't tell what it is, but it doesn't quite look solid black. On my side "Valiant" emblems, I can still see traces of black paint, and on the trunk...

Yes, it is strange. Can you post pics of your brochure's emblem? Is it a 63 V200? I would hate to paint all black over it if there is some reason for the V shapes behind the "V." The V-shaped shadows are so close to the blue & red shapes on other pieces. Maybe they changed their mind during...

Thanks for the info! I agree the 64 (and probably the 63 signet) had all black on that front emblem, but does anyone have a factory pic of the 63 V200 hood emblem? There are obvious shadows on the "V," where the steering wheel and the trunk handle have blue and red. Hard to believe it is...

Here's another one from Ebay. Seems like front emblem should have some color?

On my 1963 Valiant V200...the hood emblem looks like it had some color on it originally. Does anyone know what color/s it was? Can't seem to find a close-up of the hood emblem in any sales brochures. Just finished painting my trunk handle, which was black with blue and red triangles. You can see...

not mine but I saw it on craig's and thought somebody might be interested. I could use it, but no more parking space. cheers! http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/cto/2273336867.html
