But Dear, it followed me home

Steve Adams and I went and picked up another slant six wannabe race car. 1968 Valiant 2dr sdn. Already had Mopar 6-1 headers, super six intake/carb, electronic ign, after market bucket seats, and floor shifter for the 904. Seems like the 7 1/4 rear has broken spiders, but that shouldn't be an issue, as between us we have several donor rears available. Body is kind of rough, as the car has been sitting for many years, but the engine has oil, and water in it and not mixed. Turns over by hand, so not seized, and trans fluid is red and not burned. Has tach, and aftermarket gauges. It was given to us by Cecil Higgenbottom's (slant cecil) family. Hope to try and start her in the next couple of days.

!!!PHOTOS!!! LOLOL

Sounds really cool! Pitchers when you can.

It lives, and really doesn't sound bad at all. It has a 318 bbd carb, that seems to work OK except for the accelerator pump. Idles good, sounds good at raised RPM, but can't open the throttle very fast. 40 psi oil pressure, at idle after about 20 minutes running, and about 160 on the temp gauge. No oddball noises. Trans goes in gear but that's all I can tell, as it is still tied down on the trailer. Floor shifter needs lubing very badly (stiff). Brake pedal goes to the floor (no fluid), but it does have a newer two bolt dual master cyl, and a line lock.

PS: I will try to get pics with my not used smart phone, and send them somewhere. Give me a couple of days.

Added brake fluid, and now have some pedal. Will need to do a full brake exam, but at least it should stop when moving it around. Shifter is a Hurst quarter stick. Got it lubed up and working freely. It is reverse pattern, so evidently the trans has a reverse pattern manual valve body. Now I am wondering if it has some kind of higher stall converter. Steve has a 8 3/4 rear, with 3.91 open gears, so will probably get a spool from Dr. Diff, and put that in.
