    Car Shows

    More car shows and cars and coffee meets these days in my area that I can remember. Every weekend and most week nights between June and Oct. Certainly can't go to them all and have to pick and choose. One thing I have noticed though for other than the large established annual meets, you need...

    What’s a fair price? 69 GTS

    Not saying you would get it for that and maybe 5k an insult. But it is simple math, and a few posting earlier already did it. 40k for a really nice once completed or 10k + 30k+ to restore. Anything higher and you are upside down if anyone cares about that - many don't. Bones may be good but...

    Heat Soaked Starter

    Ok, check voltage drop first as that is easy. Before you start replacing starter. TKO 600 is great. Get highway speeds down to low 2000 rpms. Tunnel needed major surgery though in my 63 - basically cut out existing and build new - I have pics somewhere if you want to see. Hydraulic clutch...

    Heat Soaked Starter

    Struggled with this for years. 408, with TTI and TKO 600, RobbMC starter. Starter and header in area of starter is heat wrapped. Did not help. Battery in trunk so 20 feet of cable. Did some voltage loss checks and found battery not getting 12v to starter. This lower voltage fine for cold...

    Shipping from Dr. Diff in USA?

    Have ordered a few things from Dr Diff. 3rd member which he delivered to warehouse in sweetgrass and I went and picked up. Other items small and he sent by post. No duty I recall as US made, under free trade and classic car parts. I order lots of other parts for my other cars in US and almost...

    procar 90 series seats conversion

    I installed these Procars a few years back in my 63. Don't recall off hand the model. They are comfortable but a bit small in my opinion. The base was from their universal kit and had to weld them up. Lots of mock up and adjusting to get the height right and frame is mounted very close to...

    biggest tire size for A-body plymouth/valiant

    I have 255/60/15 on rear of my 63. At the time I installed, I felt this was widest I could go without rubbing inside inner fender on suspension travel. This is with disc brake conversion and offset shackles. Weld Racing rims but don't know offset.

    Scat procar seats ? Anyone running them?

    Lol, standard seats may be better. The bolsters on mine squeeze a bit but the seat length is also a bit short for me as i like more support under the leg. They are good, i dont plan to change them. I am not super Mario but of more standard dimensions.

    Scat procar seats ? Anyone running them?

    I have scat procar in my 63. I used the universal mount and fabricated/welded the perches to fit original holes in floor and get the right height and fore/aft location. All perches are different height. I find the seats good quality and comfortable but a bit small. If you can, try out the seats.

    Procar seat brackets

    I have procar in my 63 valiant. I used the universal mount and fit and welded up the perches to match the original holes. Also allows you to get the heights, slopes and legroom where you want them. Lots of fiddling around though.

    1963 Valiant

    We sliced the firewall just below the wiper bolts and modified the wall and rewelded and refinished. Of course, at the time, we didn't know we had to do this so the engine bay had been painted. A couple of after pics included.

    1963 Valiant

    A V8 will fit. You need to modify the firewall by the distributor and wiper motor area. IIRC will need a V8 steering link too. Can keep original K member but new motor mounts. Header selection is limited and tight fit. Now, I have heard others have cut out a section of a donor 64 firewall and...
