im wondering what manual transmissions if any came out on the 225 3.7 slant six? right now I have automatic column shift and I think it would be awesome to have a 3 or 4 speed in the floor if it was available. I wouldn't want a ''on the tree'' setup just because I don't like the idea of it lol...

ive been told recently to check the points in my distributor to make sure they are spaced properly. question is how would I go about getting the motor Top Dead Center to check the points and how far should the points be spaced?

does smoke a tiny bit on startup but not after that

also the oil on the dipstick is VERY thin so im guessing the gas is making the gas thin

when I look at the oil cap on my 68 Valiant I can see moisture and it smells like gas. my fuel pump looks wet with gas on it also. what should I check first? Ive had some people tell me it could be running rich or it could be the fuel pump leaking gas into the engine since the fuel pump is...

Thanks for all the welcome messeges! I plan on turning my valiant into more of a hot rod someday

yea I believe the gears were nylon or plastic or something. I haven't removed the distributor yet but I cant today because today is football day! lol

turned the rotor by hand and it does just turn slightly then snap back. what does this mean?

Lol sure if you can say the top speed of a slant six Is 50 MPH lol

No it seemed like it was pretty tight with the air. I couldnt keep getting air

ok this morning I popped the top of the distributor cap off and then I pulled the hose off the carb that goes to the vacuum advance on the distributor and sucked on it. the inside of the distributor didn't move at all, tried sucking on it a few times with still no movement. tried moving the gear...

Its a 1 Barrell. And is the centrifugal advance up on the Carb?

sorry forgot to add some more details. I took the carb off yesterday. and surprisingly it was pretty clean inside. and the accelerator pump looked very clean and almost new

Owned my 68 Valiant for almost a month now. Since I've had it it has had a serious issue with power under normal acceleration. It starts fine and idles fine but does shake. But when I put it in gear I have to barely push the gas pedal down or it will stall on me. Anything more than say a quarter...

proud owner of a 68 Valiant with a 225 Slant Six. its a running project of mine and I plan on restoring it and throwing a bigger engine in it someday :cheers:
