    Battery Relocation

    It's currently an all stock wiring 67' Valiant. I'm working on a battery relocation to the trunk and I'm looking to run this idea by someone else to make sure I'm not missing something. I need it to be able to pass NHRA tech (disconnect shuts down the engine), but I also would like the starter...

    67 Only Steering and K-frame Questions

    Looking to swap my 67 K-frame so I can change out to a manual steering box and avoid the one year only parts. I was looking at a spool type 73 k-frame, but I just wanted to check some things before I do it. I just redid most of the front end for a disc brake swap so I'm hoping to keep what I...

    A body lower control arm shaft kit.

    Hey not to steal your thread, but what did you guys use as the torque spec on the nut? I've read with other poly bushing/greaseable shaft kits that they use a lower than factory spec, don't want to break my new parts! Thanks in advance!

    Thanks again! I have some reading to do, before I come to a decision it looks like!

    67' to 73'+ Disc Swap Question

    Thanks a ton! Any idea of the brand known for breaking? I've seen a few options, I'd like to do it because I know poly bushings need to be greased often, but I'll have to look into it some more with that information in mind... Those are the parts I thought, but needed to hear it from someone...

    67' to 73'+ Disc Swap Question

    So I may not have been clear, I'm looking to keep the steering stuff I have for right now if possible, car only has 18k miles, but kinda doing a proactive "while I'm in there refresh". Would love to do the entire steering too but I'm a broke college kid so that'll have to wait until I graduate...

    67' to 73'+ Disc Swap Question

    So I'm in the process of digging into the front suspension of my 67' Valiant to do a 73'+ disc swap. With 67' I know the steering uses a different idler arm, so I wanted to double check before I mistakenly order rebuild parts for a wrong year. I'll be ordering these items: Front inner and...

    Offset shackles/hangers

    Hey guys, Looking to order a set of 1/2" offset shackles/hangers this weekend I've heard some are weld in vs others are not. Do the Dr. Diff ones require welding? I would call but it's a weekend and I'd like to place the order asap. Thanks in advance, Tim

    Guess a welcome is due again...

    @Dartnut Hoping to pick up a set of Wheel Vintique 15" replica mopar steelies with the baby moons sometime this month, 255/60/15 et street s/s in back and 195/55/15 BFG Sport Comp 2s up front... Should vastly help the look of the car, the tire is definitely overkill but it'll get some power...

    Guess a welcome is due again...

    Well I've put on roughly 2,000 miles on the car since buying it(Don't worry I'm a detailing nut so it's well taken care of despite the mileage I'm putting on)! I was cruising Woodward Ave roughly every weekend with a few other a-bodies, but recently brought it to Illinois and had the...
