My 63 Canadian Valiant Convertable. Before: Now:

Thanks for the replies....this is a pain in the butt. lol

Hi can anyone tell me where to source a new park release cable for my 63 Valiant push button transmission. Mine snapped..... So now when we finally get a summer that I can drive my little rag top around I can't because of an apparently holy grail of cables. If anyone can guide me to a place...

Thanks for the links. I'll have a look at them when I at home tonight. The red 10 guage lead and the black 10 guage lead do go through the bulk head. They screw onto tabs sticking of the bulkhead connector instead of the spade terminals that are shown in the mads article. I cleaned up those...

Well I yanked out all the melted wiring and ended up being about 4 wires that fused together. I replaced the wiring and when I wrapped everything back up I kept the amp meter wiring out of the loom. It was the black amp meter wire that was cooked the worst. In the end the yellow/black...

1963 Valiant Coys 15" C5's with 3.5" of backspacing.

I will definatley read that article and thank you for the link. I will say that there is a newer alternator on the car. The car originally had a 35 amp alternator and I would assume this is the 60+ on it now with the dual field terminals. I have read that I can upgrade the regulator to the...

67 Dart, I really can't thank you enough. By marker lights I meant the signal lights being on steady on the low filament when headlights on. So I pulled the headlight switch just to find some broken wires, that I would assume had touched at some time as well as a cracked plug. I rewired the...

67, Thank you. I will get some pictures for you. You are saying that with the key off there should not be 12v at the pigtails and that somewhere I have a connection that is crossing the wire and powering the signal light wires. I feel like I am missing something very simple. Just as an...

Update....I am going nuts..... the bulb in the left hand side stays on regardless of key on or key off.... no idea what is going on. any insight? Oh and no, I don't have a clock in my instrument cluster. Amp, fuel, and temp.

Sorry.... it was late last night when I was doing this but I just double checked... When I connect the bulkhead plug the dash light comes on with the switch plug from the steering wheel connected or not connected. The dash light also comes on when I have one l/f signal light unplugged and...

Hi Everyone, I am wondering if I can get some help with the logic on this signal issues I am working on. The car is a 63 Cdn Valiant 225cid, push button auto convertable. Manual brakes, manual steering and no hazard lights (not equipped) I have changed the flasher..... I was driving along...

Thanks everyone. I know it looks black in the pics but its actually a dark metallic black cherry. The top is white and I am looking for a white boot for it. I have a red boot that covers the whole intertior and splits between the driver and passanger. It unfortunatley covers the rear seats so...

Thats because the Canadian Valiants from 63-66 are Dart rears, Valiant fronts.

Well after reading all of the stories about Coy's after I ordered my wheels from them I am very happy to say that I had a very good experience. I think they are working hard at making things work. I am up in Canada and they promised that they would have them up to me in 14 days and they did...
