1966 Valiant Signet Convertible Resto
Been busy. Finally got the lines all routed for the HB. I took a little while but everything looks clean IMO. I just need to pick up a different tee adapter for the return line from the hydraulic hose shop. No biggy.
Although I ran in to a slight snag with the rebuilt and newly painted power steering pump I picked up at the Fall Fling last year. The pulley offset does not match my original 66 PS pump. Therefore my belts don't line up. The pulley shaft looks different too. I'm hoping to swap the pulley from my 66 onto the new one I have. If that doesn't work then I'll have to get my original rebuilt. Can be done through RockAuto.com for $70. I'll cross that bridge later. I've got plenty of other things to keep me busy.
I went ahead and dropped the carb on the motor just for S&Gs. It's been a while.
I'm hoping to get the torsion bars installed today along with the passenger side header. Maybe the wiring harness and other accessories if I'm lucky.
Back on all 4 again. Still haven't buffed out the quarters yet
Motor
HB all plumbed up
