Looking for someone who can work on Slant Six motors. I would like for it to be somewhere around Cobb County but will take what I can get.

Price change $4,000obo Anybody interested?

Original 1967 Plymouth Valiant. The body is very straight and has never been in a wreck. The only rust is the underside of the hood, trunk and minor bubbling behind the fenders. The paint has been buffed and waxed and looks and feels great. The wheels have been painted argent silver, with new...

It is consistantly among multiple or all cylinders. Because I cranked it over and let it idle and then pulled each plug, but no individual plug got rid of the misfire.

UPDATE! Still having fuel issues, (or at least that is what I think the problem is) not as bad as it was before the new tank was put in but still laggy. I think it has to to with the fact that the car misfires really bad. It will misfire at idle quite bad, also when I drive but I can't hear it...

Well when I removed the fuel filter and found large deposits of rust and gunk. So I bought a new filter because I was not sure when it was last replaced. I then after a week of driving I pulled out the new filter to see if it had picked up anything and it turned out to look just as bad as the...

Looks great! Do you know what kind of power you're pushing?

For the time being yes changing the tank and sending unit has fixed my problem and I can see how much gas I have:D. And post #18 was just to let you guys know that fixing those things did not help fix the problem.

UPDATE, I have replaced the points along with the condenser, rotor, distributor cap and distributor gear (since it was split in two!) This provided me with NO change with my problem, but needed to be done. Thought I would throw it out there.

Ok, I think I have solved the problem. The fuel pickup in the gas tank was clogged from rust and a lot of other garbage. My guess is that the pickup was getting clogged with all the trash causing the engine to be starved of fuel, misfire constantly and eventually die. So for the time being I am...

Working on getting the car back, due to the fact that it died in a parking lot. I will definitely let you know the results.

What exactly happened to you?

UPDATE. Now I am not even able to make it 10 feet without the engine completely bogging down and dying! It will crank back over and idle but when I give it any gas it chokes and dies.

I know it is a stupid question but is there any specific compression tester that I would need for my engine?
