Great work !

We built this car back in 2007. Did a Hot Rod Power Tour. 451 B engine and a Passion 4 speed over drive.3.73 rear. Car put down 20 MPG during and was fun to drive. This is what we noticed.Anywhere we drove if you romped on it you would redline first to second, second to third and ran out of road...

More like a 5.2 318 or a 5.9 360 Magnum with a barrel intake . The block should have numbers cast on the side.

My only complaint of Kumho's is they only lasted 7,000 miles on our PT Cruiser. They were 205/60/17's. Must have been a soft compound.

No disrespect. That's what I did like that everything was a days drive or less. I mainly was talking about the weather. My joke I tell people in the dry desert is that it rains at least 4 days a week in the Pittsburgh area. If it doesn't rain in 10 days it's considered a drought.

It is hearing this that I don't miss living in south west pa anymore. Keystone was my home track for years. I do miss the people/friends and the good times I had at Keystone. Weather forecast for 2024 across the US has been said that it is going to be a colder and wet year.

No it's a 351 Falcon :lol:

A better photo of all the linkage including the springs and kickdown is needed to answer. You should use a dual spring on the return and a spring for the kickdown return. Nice using the thick base gasket ! Helps with thermal transfer and keeps the fuel from percolating causing hard hot starting.

Same size wheel but a 165/75/15 on my 64 Dart. Had to clearance the front of the fender just a bit by adjusting the fender strut. 69 should have room with a 205/70/15. I ran that size on my 67 and 68 Darts on the front with a 7'' wide wheel no issues.

From what I remember did this in 1977. Put a 74 Dart fender on a 69 Dart. I'm pretty sure all else was a bolt on. Attach fender then the 67-69 grill to see just how much the headlight bucket needs moved

I think my favorite Valiant is a 1969. The grill makes it. I had a 68 273 Factory bucket seat 4 door car at one time.

My very first car ever was a 66 Valiant 2 door post 170 3 on the tree. That was back in 1972.

Some times you do stupid things,,,Like selling this.Regret !

Not the best photo but I did this with a brass T to hook up my pressure light and have the mechanical gauge too. Did this on a 64 Dart 225.

Same as you volaredon. Slant 6 cars that were never driven far daily were known for being a sludge mess. Never got hot enough to burn off moisture I guess.
