I last posted about my 72 Dart on 12/05/08. UPDATE:On Christmas,I got the car roadworthy and have been driving it daily. Just finished up refinishing the wheels and put different tires on them. OLD LOOK : and NEW LOOK:

So what is it about #5 thats weak? I bought a 75 Valiant once and the lady told me it had thrown a rod. I looked but couldnt see it. I discovered the hole behind the starter,and another hole behind where the exhaust and intake mate together. The second hole was smaller,from schrapnel...

My First Mopar was a 74 Plymouth Scamp with a 225 Slant 6. I drove it probably 3 months after I got it and noticed the oil light would flicker at cruising speed and at a stop it would stay totally lit up bright red. I put a mechanical gauge on it and at idle,was pushing 0 PSI oil Pressure...

Its an original Arizona one owner 76 Valiant 4 door with a 318 and 68,338 original miles which was given to me.At first the lady said $100,but shortly after I left she called me and told me to just come haul it...

Yes it does sound wonderful,now I just gotta get plugs,cap,rotor , carb rebuild kit,tires and a master cylinder and she should just about be roadworthy after sitting for almost 19 years.

Replaced the ignition control Module and the vehicle fired right up!!! Thanks for all the help!!!

I have been racking my brain trying to figure out the answer to the exact same problem. Mine is a 1976 Plymouth Valiant with a 318 and factory electronic ignition. Vehicle hasnt ran since 1988. I have checked both sides of the ballast resistor with a test light and key in the on position...
