Buff right up that will.

Thanks for the quick response - the feedback WRT reduction is great. To make it a little clearer in relation to space, I have taken a couple of photos of my parts car (which is obviously missing the engine in the photo, but does have most of the steering connected (except the column, which was...

Hi all, I am looking for suggestions on a suitable pair of headers for a RHD (Australian) VG Valiant (67-76 US Dodge Dart) running a 318 stroked to 390 with Magnum heads. I have looked at the TTI shorties, as well as some eBay cheapies, and the local (Pacemaker) options and none (except the...

The Grant 846 is a satin steel finish, while the 1004 has more of a machined finish (according to their website). Best prices I saw were through Summit ($114 for the 846, $196 for the 1004) but Grant also sell direct through Amazon.com which may be cheaper with freight (it was for me). Flaming...

Hi all, I am in the process of rebuilding my steering column, and have a second column as a guide for the rebuild. As part of this process I am partially dis-assembling the second column to work out how to put it back together (I pulled the first column apart years ago), and am stuck on how to...

Looking for some help with fitting USDM armrests on my (Australian) VG Valiant hardtop. Problem 1 : I bought some repro armrests to suit a 1968+ Dodge Dart, and the mounting holes line up fine but the clip in the body doesn't line up with the screw that runs diagonally from under the armrest...

I also heard today that the 1968 sets that have been reproduced are made by a company in Taiwan called something like "Layet". If anybody knows the correct company name I have a few contacts in TW (I visit there quarterly for work) who could contact the manufacturer and maybe get some...

Thanks for the feedback so far. My problem now becomes what year do I have - I know the pass-side door on mine is not original and came off a VF Valiant (1969), while the drivers-side is original (VG Valiant - 1970/1). On top of that, I have no idea if Chrysler Australia got all their...

Not sure if this exists in the after-market, but I'm looking for the door lock latch assembly (that closes around the striker) for both RHS+LHS to suit a 67-76 Dart (I'm guessing they're a common assembly on many other Mopar's also). I've tried rebuilding the pass-side but they're just worn out...

Does anybody have ready access to a Dart without the carpet / console fitted ? My Dart (Valiant) was a column-shift auto that the previous owner converted to floor shift when he changed from the 6 to V8. There is a hole on the left side that he has cut where the neutral safety switch cable, etc...

I picked up one of each of "Victoria", "New South Wales", "ACT" and "South Australia" yesterday at a swapmeet - will mail them out this week. Dean.

I got the summer version a few years back (Written by an UK ex-pat): August 31st Just got transferred with work into our new home in sunny Queensland!! Now this is a city that knows how to live!! Beautiful sunny days and warm balmy evenings. What a place! I watched the sunset from a deck...

According to Pro/Race website, _they_ supply MP : http://www.pro-race.com/Retailer.htm EDIT: I have spoken to Pro/Race today (6/17) and they only supply the SFI-approved unit P5249690 - the 4452816 is a cheap Chinese-made unit. Dean.

It will be internally balanced. Dean.

I didn't want to interrupt the "what harmonic balancer should I get for my 340?" thread :toothy10: So, what would be the recommendation from members on a suitable harmonic balancer for a 318/390 stroker with a cast 4" crank, for a street-only application ? I think an SFI-approved damper is...
