Thanks Everyone, I think for the price it's a good deal to get me up and running. Right now even with the bad head she runs, five cylinders.... but, I drove it 200 miles to my brother's garage to work on it, didn't run that bad.

Hey, I bought a 1969 Valiant and the 225 head is junk, cracked and burnt valves. I found a 1975-78 225 Head casting #3698447 on Ebay rebuilt with valves from a business for $210 shipped. The guy at the shop selling it said I need to check to see it it will fit my block. He said my engine...

I will try the easy options first. check cap, rotor, wires, plug. then pull valve cover and go from there. Thanks for all the help.

Ok, thanks, I will look in Vintiques and Stockon wheels.

Yes! it's about time the older crowd got in on the Zombie/Vampire schtick! Damn teens-20's morons.... I like both, but Grampires is better.

Ok, that's what I need to hear. Just need to find 15" Rallye rims that are 5x4: pattern. Thanks, Jeff

Sorry, not for sale! I just got it. Like I said before it is absolutey rust free and covered in oil. Even the outside of the lower body is coated, the fenders and doors look awful dark and dirty from all the oil. The previous owner used a garden pump sprayer to repeatedly coat the car with...

Ok, that sounds like a good thing to do. I think I can get a compression tool from one of the auto stores. You know the guy that sold the car did say the damper is rusted in the exhaust manifold. How does this cause a problem? Thanks, Jeff

Yeah, it sucks.

Thans Dan. Jeff

Ok, I'll do that. Thanks,

Yes, I understand about the width of the rim and 3" backspace is what I meant by offset. My confusion is on the 5 lug bolt pattern and it seems I have 5x4" pattern not 5x4.5" like most MOPAR cars. Thanks,

Yup, that does make sense. I wonder why the guy selling the car didn't try it? Hmmm? Worse case I may have to rebuild the head or engine right? Thanks,

Again thanks 2 Darts. I was going to do a tune up so this makes checking it easier. Thanks,

Thanks 2Darts. I will check the drivers studs and look for Ansen Sprints. More then anything I want to get at least 14" steel on it.
