    New poll: What would you do and why?

    Been wallering around with this lump until I'm just about wore out. The engine and trans was pulled from a running car (dad's '72 Challenger that younger brother rolled) 3 years ago and has been in a heated garage ever since. The engine is complete from air cleaner to oil pan, has the...

    318 in a 67 Notch???

    Check the 5th digit of the VIN. If it is a D the car came with a 273, a G would be a 318. The LA 318 was available in the US in '67 B and C bodies as well as trucks. Our northern brothers soldiered on with the Poly 318 until '68 when the LA 318 became available across the board. '68 was also the...

    9" or 10" drums...?

    Slants got 9 inchers, V8s got 10s. Discs were optional. Your '70 318 should have the 10 inch drums as standard equipment. Check the 5th digit of the VIN. If it is a G The car should have 10 inch brakes. Hope this helps...

    New poll: What would you do and why?

    Went and looked at an engine that was listed on Craigslist yesterday. The listing said it was a 318 with a 904 transmission and the asking price was $100. Showed up at the address and the house seemed deserted and there was a for sale sign in the yard but there was a car in the driveway. When I...

    1965 valiant gas cap

    Brilliant!! I love a cheap, elegant solution like this. Jealous 'cause I didn't think of this when the cap for my old '66 Valiant got run over by 2 lanes of traffic before I could retrieve it. Thanks for sharing and letting us know how this turned out...

    redneck kick down linkage

    Just make sure that the kickdown lever at the trans is in the full forward position when the throttle is closed. About the only thing I would change is to replace the spring on the kickdown linkage with a shorter one that would hold the linkage in the full forward position once the free end of...

    There I fixed it. Fortunately my sister saved me from that since everybody was so proud of her they never noticed what I did. She has a doctorate now and doesn't have the sense that God gave a goose. Definitely forgot what Mom taught us about getting above our raising. To the OP. Had a...

    /6 or V8 K members were the same until '67. Which side of the mounting 'eers are your mount brackets bolted to? If they are bolted to the front side of the mounting 'eers (GO WVU beat TCU) it will put the engine roughly 1/2" toward the rear of the car. Moving the brackets to the other side of...

    Maybe a dumb question

    Not dumb but a little confusing. If you are doing a disc brake swap and all you are installing are the '73 upper control arms, upper ball joints, spindles, brakes, and lower ball joints, the '70 lower control arms and outer tie rod ends will bolt right up. Did this swap on a '66 Valiant and...

    Found this while perusing the bag. Thought I'd post it up since the auction ends pretty soon. Anybody interested in a '63 Valiant wagon, subframe connecters installed, floorpans replaced, new quarters and bumpers included, slant powered, with a blower sticking through the hood? If so check it...

    Buying property tips?

    If the property is infested with a Home Owners Association, walk away. The one this place is infested with has a hard time understanding that what goes on inside this house is none of their business.
