I have searched all over and can not find what the physical difference is between the 1973 rear window for a 4 door and all the others. Anyone know? I currently have some plastic concoction from the previous owner and I would like to put an actual glass window in but I can not find one around so...

1973 plymouth valiant. 225 Slant 6(aka slant 6 forum), with an auto trans. And by computer I am talking about the HEI upgrade(computer was the only word that came to mind when I was exhausted). Just because others have been ignorant about certain things does not mean others are as well. I am new...

Thanks. I looked at the eBay link and it’s 12 dollars after shipping and I called my hardware store and they have the size you guys said for 62 cents. So when I get a chance I’ll go try them out. Hopefully mine is normal easy peasy.

So the type of engine, brand of carb, and type of transmission affects the order of adjustment?

1973 with an updated carb and intake from previous owner. I basically just drove the thing since I bought it and now it is running super rich and getting horrible mpgs so time to do some work. Things I have done is replace radiator and swap to the new style coil and computer for ignition...

i bought a 1973 valiant a while back and basically just drove it until now. I just looked underneath for the first time and there are no bolts in the mount. I want to replace the mount but I couldn’t find any info about the bolts. Is the mount or tranny tapped or is it simple through bolts...

Thanks guys

I am looking for a rear window for my 73 valiant 4dr. Everywhere including google so far has told me they don't exist. Is there anywhere someone knows of that makes them or what other years and or models are interchangeable as far as craigslist or ebay goes? Thanks.

Well thanks for all that troubleshooting information. The hard part is that I haven't been able to recreate what happens. I will poke around more when I get a chance. And as far as the HEI conversion goes, how can I identify the exact distributor I have other than the most common answer of...

First, i’m not opposed to doing any work myself and I’m fully aware of most work needing to be done myself. I’ve built/rebuilt my old Jeep entirely by myself. It would simply be more efficient to return to a working and upgraded car and not waste time when there are people who do repairs to cars...

Thanks for all the replies.

The HEI upgrade sounds interesting. Is that a common knowledge thing for slant 6's? Like if I took it to a mechanic would they know of it or could do it? Im leaving for a week and it would be cool to drop it off somewhere and have it done by the time I get back. Otherwise I could do it after I...

Well I’m in San Diego so I laugh at the idea rain or humidity. And is there a way to check the module? Or just replace it? And what pin is eliminated in the four pin module?

First off, hello i'm new to these cars. Now; I recently(couple months ago) acquired a 73 valiant. I know a little about cars and engines but I am in means an expert. This car came with a 225 and auto trans. On the engine is a clifford performance 6=8 carb/intake and dual headers package. It was...
