I forgot to add all new spark plugs and fuses as well.

No it will not start while in park, only in neutral. But it doesn’t do this every single time. It’ll only do this when it’s been running for a bit of time. It’s got a 4.5L 273 V8 engine with an Edelbrock 4 barrel Carb. The battery is brand new. It has gotten the following parts replaced, (also...

I’m facing an issue where my car (1968 Plymouth Valiant 100) is dying when the windshield wipers and blinkers are on while the car is in D with the brake pushed in. My car completely died while waiting to turn left at a light. It wouldn’t start back up at all, wouldn’t even make a clicking...

Wow I didn’t realize there was no bracket. Yikes. Is there a way I can purchase it? I’m trying to look up alternator bracket in oreilly and can’t seem to find it.

Also no power steering and no AC. I have a 4.5L 273 engine with a 4 barrel carb.

Okay I used a website to resize a photo to upload here and it worked.

What I’m assuming is the crank pulley is much lower than this one and the belt is on the inner groove (closest one to the alternator). It is really annoying that I’m unable to upload a photo….

Hey all! I need some help with my alternator belt placement. I’ve got a 1968 Plymouth Valiant and the alternator I have on it is a two pulley. My question is, does the alternator belt need to go on the inner pulley that is closest to the alternator or does it go on the outer pulley? With...

I ended up getting ac delco r45xls. From my understanding, they should work, I think the only thing might be the gap. Might be 0.045 since they’re pre gapped, and if it causes some issues then I’ll just tap the electrodes in carefully so they’ll be 0.035

Glad to hear you’re still enjoying the turkey! We have a carcass left that I’m saving to make some yummy bone broth soup with. Gotta make use of it all! The interior isn’t the worst, but it’s got some big tears in some areas. The headliner needs to be redone badly too. I’ll probably do the...

The previous owner put in a 4 barrel edelbrock carb.

Thank you, the issue is the previous owner put in a 4 barrel edelbrock carb, so I don’t know if these spark plugs would necessarily still be a good fit or not.

Thank you for the info, I’ll be sure to remove that wire and just clean the fuse clasps with the battery unplugged, and hope that you had a great Thanksgiving! The car was 3.7 k. I’m having someone extract the broken screw and fix the intake gasket manifold. Also having them do a few more...

Thank you for this and sorry for the delay, the Thanksgiving break had me busy with family for the last few days. Anyway I am actually having someone fix the basket manifold/screw problem. I have a question, though because I need to buy some new spark plugs. Which ones would be best? I keep...

Thanks for this I’ll have to get my laptop up and moving to download this. so while I was looking at the coolant leak I decided to maybe take some time to try and figure out what is going on with the wiring, since the heater doesn’t work nor does the radio (not end of the world, but just...
