Well shoooot... I tried the "hose in the cylinder" test. The front 5 seem to show up and down movement, BUT that last cylinder, in the back, seems to be staying in the same place. The hose, on cylinder rotation, jiggles a little, but that could be a valve moving it. How difficult is a...

Looks like the others, que piensa?

Im looking.. My eye must not be catching it??? Looks like the rest..

OK: All the valves open and close as they should. Multiple rotations, no scraping sounds at all. I do hear, while rotating, the sound of maybe a lifter falling and bouncing slightly once in a while, prolly sticky and maybe normal? Counterclockwise, binds at the same spot every time and the...

Crusty, but nothing obviously broken, and moves as it should when I turn several rotations. Counterclockwise rotation still stops with a clunk, I'd say from the back of the engine or the trans...

Absolutely, valve cover is next. Im trying to figure out if its a lost cause for sure, the body needs a bit of rust repair and Ive no idea if this engine is worth putting money into, I'm not new to old cars, just never had a Valiant before.

I had hoped it was old and tired, but still a runner. That is why I was playing around. Your right, prolly needs going through. I pulled it out of the weeds, seems like its worth restoring but its been a long time since I did an engine rebuild, I'm more of a body/fender/paint guy.

It only turns partially around even without the starter off.... Its something inside, I can hear a clunk when it stops (going counter clockwise) Smooth and quiet, and all the way around clockwise though.

I had pulled the starter before turning over by hand, so I bench tested.. The starter spins, but the gears resting position is where you see in the photo..and that can't be right. Is this a known issue and can be convinced to reset? Or is this in need of a rebuild? I see them online at...

Need assistance with a motor. Not sure if it is worth trying to salvage and run. Starting a restoration on a 61 Valiant with a slant six. It's been sitting outside for a few decades and I’ve no idea, of course, what it was parked. Soaked the cylinders and got the engine to rotate. It turns...

I saw those, I don't know what's different about a 61 either, worth a call to find out... Good idea.

Im only finding fronts, I need front and rear, better if its full half's.. I'm just getting to know vendors, can anyone recommend a source?

Thanks for that tip... Classified ad posted!

I need the knob and bezel for the passenger side... Its a Canadian model if that makes a differnece :) Photo shows the drivers side..

Is this the knob???? http://www.herbsparts.com/proddetail.asp?prod=810-NA

Mine is built in Canada as well, are they very different?

Here are both sides, I need the knob and the bezel.. Any ideas?

Ill post pics when I get home.. Its a 72 scamp.. The knob is down at the base of the seat on the outside edge... Its a driver, not a show resto.. I appreciate the help ! The classified ad is a good idea too, I will when I get a pic

Passenger side seat release, to fold back on a 2-door to let peeps in the back.. The sharp metal is there, all the knob/trim stuff is gone.. ANy source???

Thanks inertia! It does indeed help.. I looked at Laysons.. lots of nice catagories, but nothing for my 72...

New guy here.. I need to do the vynal top on my 72 scamp... Does any place sell a ready made top for these? Thanks!

double post, sorry

So.. I'm getting the impresion that there are NO places that specialize in early Plymouth parts???

Excellent! Thanks... Any places have stock scamp/Valiant parts???

Just a cardboard liner.. Also need some websites for additional parts??

Picked up a 72 Scamp, need a few things :) First thing I cant seem to find is a glove box insert? Any list of vendors? Stock restoration.. Thanks!
