Atlas Obsolete Chrysler parts has what you are looking for. I am going to use them for the sending unit my 63 Valiant needs. They have the diagram of the parts with numbered breakdown of the parts on their site.

Has anyone used Lucas Safeguard Ethanol Fuel Conditioner with stabilizers ? I have a bottle I boughty just before the seasonal switchover hhere in Tucson, but haven't used it.. Ethanol will be back again in Oct. Guess I will find out then. Still use a lead additive. Occasionally.

Drive it. The car will suggest it's own name. Trust it to tell. It's like voodoo. My ION just named itself Onion after 7 years of not having a real name. And the Valiant has been called Mothra for so long I have forgotten the origin of it. But I've never called it anything else in over 30...

I learned to drive on a 66 Mercury like the one parked next to your Valiant. You NEVER see those any longer. Oops: looked more closely: what is that car? It looks like 90% of a 66 full size Mercury.. Was this an actual 66 Australian Valiant or did Chrysler make this particular design for more...

www.mymopar.com has a recently added 59-65 category to their decoder. Mine I got through one of the sites that was dedicated to the 60-62 Mopar but can't remember the name of it. My Signet came of the line in Los Angeles too. Hope that helps a little. And there is lots of information to help...

BTW, ValiantBandit: I was NOT accusing you of being a worrier, but suggesting thre ARE people out in the wild who would think that banning old. Cars from the roads as aa public safety measure would be a great idea.

The entire Baby Boom Generation was raised in cars like our Slants: unbelted, unabsed, unbagged unsensored and survived. Cars just like ours drove billions of miles carrying people of all ages mostly without incident. According to Govt. Stats the death rate on the roads had been trending...

That was not in reference to anyone here or any of the comments posted. If that is the way you took it, my apologies. It has been the general tendency to legislate away anything someone deems unsafe or unappealing to themselves, so therefore no one else should be doing it. That attitude is...

Unfortunately I can't agree with you any less, Mcnoople. There's obviously enough interest in the topic and the thread that people continue to post on it. It's a worthwhile topic of discussion even though I think the bed wetting handwringing nannies out there need to dial it back on worrying...

Time to change careers, sounds like.

Ah, but you can try. That's what it's all about. I like their enthusiasm. I'd try to save it too. What a waste it would be for it to go to the crusher. If that hole in the block was in the floors and trunk maybe it would be best to leave it where it is, but this seems to be a good specimen...

I love the Slant Six. It's longevity is legendary. Yes, the column shifter is straight out of 1942, but go to a show and see how many are out there. At the Mopar meets at Woodley Park in Van Nuys, it's rare to see even one. They are the weak link in the drivetrain tho. Lots of black dots for...

70 Dart sedan: no. Not smarter at all. Just my own observations. Hated to see that car destroyed when the result was preordained. And those Mopar crash tests with the 60s Plymouths were scary. Glad to have the improvements in steering, brakes, construction and all. Vehicles are better than ever...

A few things: Those were 5 MPH bumpers in the 70s allegedly to control costs of parking lot accidents. Later found to cause a higher cost in repairs, not lower. Well documented in the magazines of the day. There was no 15 MPH crash standard. The Pinto, statistically, was no more prone to...

I love em all,and have a 63 Signet, but the 65 is my favorite because all the details are just right. They fixed all the things that bugged me about the initial design: the hairpin on the front fender goes horizontal, taillights with the round back ups look like jewelry,the grille is well done...

How does your repair job look ? One of the goals of the old Slant Six Club of America was to simply keep the cars on the road. What you did was exactly what people would do, especially in the 90s when all the junkyard sources dried up,before the internet made it easier to find parts and before...

Bah: who cares what anyone else thinks is valuable. To me all information about my car is worth gold, like the fact that it was built in L.A. I wish I could find out MORE about it. That paperwork should all be framed and kept with the car IMHO because it makes your car that much more...

That would be Dodge Fever. Plymouth wins you over.:cheers:

NADA price guide for 65 Valiant 100 4 door, retail : $2085 for lowest condition example in Van Nuys CA area. As I said: grab it. It's a bargain.

I paid $600.00 for my 63 Valiant Signet..... in 1980. $875 is a ridiculously low price, even accounting for 30 years of inflation. Grab it. CA car prices are outrageous anyway. Be glad the seller hasn't discovered the "classic" value of the car and isn't asking $3000. At a Mopar show a...

Mine is a 63 Signet, but as I mentioned, the coloring behind the letters was burned off years ago by the sun. There's a Motor Trend from 63 that has the Valiant Signet convertible on the cover. I'll have to dig. And I have the original brochure. But remember: a lot of the photos in the...

Wow: as long as I have had mine it never appeared to have any color variation on the badge and I have never noticed the detail anywhere else like a car show or brocures [but never see many 63s at car shows anyway, even the Mopar shows at Woodley Park in Van Nuys]. It spent the first 18 years of...

Oh no, wish not: you scored. How many /6s and 4 speeds do you think were made within that production break down ? Probably far fewer than V8-4 speed. What a great combination. I am in awe and envy. I have a 63 Signet with 3 speed on the column and it definitely always seems to need that 4th...

You, this car and your crew are going to be famous in Mopar circles. You're off to a great start and all that good car-ma you're putting into it can only come back 1000 fold. Look forward to the updates

Keep going like this and you'll have people wishing Dodge had used your design as the 2013 Dodge Caliber [21st Century Road Toad IMHO].Love em both so take that as a sincere compliment. Offering for guys to help so they can learn things: you have to be Santa himself. The gods of auto will look...

Nice: Were these seats from the Lexus/Maxima drop in or did you need to make modifications ? My front buckets have been crumbling foam for years

No you're not crazy. This is an ongoing thing and always will be. Besides: you don't want to make it so perfect you'll be afraid to drive it, nor do you want to tear it all down with some grand plan, then realize you've taken on too much. Fix what needs fixing, drive it, enjoy it, make...

Love it. You're getting what needs to be done done. Once you have the foundation ready, everything else will follow. Keep living with it and you'll find what direction you want to go. My 63 is a Signet with nothing on it as well : 3 speed on the column [love it], radio and heater [and possibly...

Glad you're showing some slant six love. You're going to be creating a legend, I think.....

Yeah: my folk's Dart died at 3 years old in a horrible crash. Sad. Amazing cars: still viable today. Long live the A Body.
