    Slant Six Tuning/Running Issues

    Update: I checked each vacuum circuit with no found issues. The internals of the distributor look great, almost new. Set the reluctor gap. I have not been able to hot lash the valves yet. Reset the timing to 10° BTDC. Since I have reset the timing I have yet to have any major issues with...

    72 vs 74 Duster rear sail panels

    Will the metal rear sail panels from a 72 bolt into a 74 body? If they will, would the rear interior side panels work also? I have a 74 duster that I’m collecting parts for. I have a good set of doors for both years. I would rather have the metal sails and door tops than the plastics from 74. I...

    Slant Six Tuning/Running Issues

    I was able to drive the car about 20 miles on the highway today at much more constant speeds than I have been in the past. There appears to be a surging or bucking that appears at consistent throttle position at nearly any rpm. It is much more prominent from 0 to about 1/3 throttle. The best way...

    Slant Six Tuning/Running Issues

    I’m assuming this is the carter bbs carb. I was hoping to avoid spending money on a questionable reman but may have to. Does the kickdown linkage and all bolt right up to this? I have a 66 d300 with an industrial slant 6 with a bbs but it’s a manual choke/trans so I don’t have all the needed...

    Slant Six Tuning/Running Issues

    I pulled it off yesterday. It still looked new basically. Pulled all the plugs too. I know this isn't the right way to read plugs but they all look pretty even.

    Slant Six Tuning/Running Issues

    I didn't know. I thought I saw something one time about reading the health of the ignition system by how the inside of the cap looked. As for arc marks, when it was arcing, burns, etc.

    Slant Six Tuning/Running Issues

    What am I looking for here? The cap fits well and the hold downs are tight. Would pictures of the cap and rotor help with anything? Tank is new, All lines are new (hard and soft), and a new quality filter. The pump is the only thing in the system prior to the carb being reused. It was flushed...

    Slant Six Tuning/Running Issues

    The hold down bolt is tight. Does the slotted metal bracket have any history with coming lose from the distributer itself?

    Slant Six Tuning/Running Issues

    I have a 75 Valiant more door with a 225 that I recently put back on the road after about 25 years of sitting. Everything on the motor is stock. I am having an inconsistent issue to where sometimes the car runs and accelerates great. Other times it has noting off of idle and blogs like it is...

    75 4 Door Sedan Headliner

    Does anyone make or know where to get a replacement headliner for a 75 Valiant 4 door? This car has the bow style fabric headliner. I'm not super concerned with using the factory correct material as long as it somewhat goes with the rest of the interior. Thanks, Zack

    5.25" Dash Speakers Installed

    I’d say around 50% of each is exposed. But it has to sound better than not having anything. If I had taken a few more measurements to better position them I probably could have gotten most of them under the grate. The original plan was to mount the tabs inline but the speaker frames would have...

    5.25" Dash Speakers Installed

    Go for it, that’s why I posted it here. I really think that 6.5” speakers may fit. If I was to do it again I would mount each speaker off the factory studs and the rotate them to the desired positions to get the tie link measurements. Should have done that this time but without seeing the whole...

    5.25" Dash Speakers Installed

    I am currently working on a 75 Valiant and wanted to upgrade the stereo a little. The car was already cut for a single din head unit and I had a pair of 5.25" speakers sitting in the garage. I laid under the dash and did a quick mock up. I decided to use two of the speaker mounts to hit the...

    [WANTED] Arm Rest Pad - 75 Valiant/Dart Sedan

    Looking for an arm rest pad for a 75 Valiant/Dart. Would prefer dark green in color but would consider other colors as well. Does not need to be perfect, just usable. Thanks.

    Cherokee Drums on 8.75”

    Thanks for the clarification. I had someone offering the Cherokee set-up to me in trade. I was trying to figure out if they worked like the earlier 8.25” brakes did and directly swapped.
