Also, a quick search on eBay, this NOS 270 badge is listed RIGHT NOW... Search eBay item number: 142602408680

OK... I had a bit of a look at the carton my stuff was delivered in, not a lot to go on, but I did find this, which hopefully might help. If you do end up making contact with this guy, maybe tell him you got his details off a guy from Australia who he sold a GT badge and a full set of chrome...

I bought it on eBay, along with a full set of rechromed bonnet 'spears', or whatever the technical name for all those chrome strips is. I still have the box it all came in to store the old ones. Let me take a look tonight and see if there's some contact details on the box. I did a quick eBay...

It clips into a spring steel clip on top of the frame that the ash tray fits into...

Mine is not far off daily driver status, handles nicely without being too bumpy... This is what I did, and won't cost you an arm and a leg: FRONT: I replaced all the usual stuff (ball joints, tie rod ends, control arm bushes, rubbers) with good brand parts. Koni "Special D" shock absorbers, VG...

I've had nothing but satisfaction and great customer service from Classic Industries, even to the point where they rang me (I'm in Australia) to confirm a couple of details with one item. Pick up the phone and call them, at least give them the chance to explain. They may/may not have come across...

Damn! I only just threw out all my calculations the other day, we had done a long trip, I recorded all the details... 1964 Dart GT, stock 225, automatic, 2.93 diff gears, 2 1/4" exhaust, 225/60/14 tyres. The end result over about 350 miles of highway/country roads driving was average about...

And that is the part I am interested to see: Will they work with the original starter motor???

I would connect it, try it, and run it. It can only get as hot as your cooling system will allow, which means temperature should be 'governed' by the thermostat and radiator pressure cap to about 110*C. I live in Australia, on older cars we do occasionally fit a 'heater tap' which is something...

I've used Redline Manifolds on 225 slant sixes and 265 Hemi sixes. Their products are great. You might also want to check out AussieSpeed as well if you are in the market for manifolds...

A company called "Early Plastic Chromeplating", they are in Victoria, Australia. Whilst I agree they did a top job on my stuff (about five years ago now) I just read a horror story about the same company a few weeks ago on one of the Valiant Facebook Groups here in Australia. I'm still inclined...

From the workshop manual...

Not sure if these are much help, but I can take more if needed. Car is a 1964 Dodge Dart GT

Hi Geoff, Sorry it took a while to post this reply, for some unknown reason, I have been unable to upload this image??? Anyway, here it is in living colour! What you are looking at is: Standard 1964 lower control arms with VH Valiant sway bar 'ears' welded on; VG Valiant (Pacer) standard sway...

Love your work, that looks amazing...
