    LED headlights, rear lights, front parl lights and interior for 1964 plymouth Valiant

    I'm an older driver and we seniors find the younger drivers to be the most often ticketed, and obnoxious, just for your info. Bright lights are not a problem, unless they are aimed incorrectly, which seems to be a major problem with young guys in lifted trucks. Just saying..

    To daily drive, or not....

    I drive both my 1965 Valiant Signet, and my 1959 Dodge D100 truck on a daily basis. Both stock, but of course, I'm retired, so don't go far. Shopping, car shows, restaurants and over to my truck yard to work on the restoration of the 1960 W200. Just keep them in good shape and they'll work...

    273 fans. This is a must read

    Well, i must say, i have a 1965 Plymouth Valiant Signet, with the 273- and 4-barrel carb. Has 63000 miles on it now and runs just fine. I don't see many out there, but as a retired codger, i love driving it (power steering, automatic) and get lots of looks. Most people ask about it and expect...

    It’s hell to get old. Rocker clearance

    Because it IS for everyone. That is the only way it can be eradicated. Same as smallpox or polio, because people cared and got the shot.

    Are new aluminum radiators better?

    I sold my 65 Blue Dart in April, but still have a good used spare radiator that was once in it. Yours for Cheap, but shipping from San Diego is an issue. Here it sits.

    [WANTED] 318 timing chain cover, cast iron.

    Thanks. I found one here locally, got it installed on my A-318. I think yours may be a specialized one for marine uses.

    [WANTED] 318 timing chain cover, cast iron.

    Looking for one of the hi-rise timing covers, used on the 318 in trucks (especially the poly 318) to raise the water pump and fan higher behind the radiator. Usually cast iron. Bolts on same as regular cover, but pump is extended up about 4 inches.

    Cleaning a filler neck

    Found in my stash of chemicals a bottle of EXRust, from Kano labs, where I buy my Kroil penetrant (best stuff out there). I had not used this before, so hoped for the best, and got it. diluted it two parts of water to one EXRUST. submerged the rusty end of the pipe in an elbow of 1.5" PVC...
