Need wiper arms for a 62 Valiant. Zip is 30458.

Temp. sending unit question. My temperature gauge is reading hot after about 5 minutes. It is not pegged out, but almost. I have checked the temp. of the coolant with a laser and it is holding about 160-170. I have replaced the gauge and sending units with new ones (several times) and checked...

Vacuum @ 550 rpm is 18.5. Shouldn't it be some higher? Also, the engine originally had a drool tube but it has been converted to a PCV valve since the new Holly 390 had a port for it. Will this work or should I convert it back to a drool tube and plug the carb PCV vacuum port?

Most parts for a Valiant are the same as for a Lancer. The hood, doors, grille and the mouldings are different. If you are referring to quarter patch panels, they should be indentical for both cars. These might be difficult to find in the US, but they are available from various sources in...

Thanks. I intend to check the vacuum this weekend. I'll also try some of the suggestions to see if it will help.

Thanks for the suggestions. I drove the car again today to observe a little closer. Even though it cranks good, it is skipping when idling and at most RPM's. I didn't notice it earlier. However, it stops skipping completely and runs smooth when accelerating. I'll have to check with the...

I just rebuilt a '62 aluminum 225. The engine cranks good and idles smooth. When it builds up a little RPM's, the engine starts to skip, but when accelerating, the skip disappears and the engine pulls strong. When you level out at cruise, it starts to skip again. I installed a mild cam...

After 2 years, my Valiant Signet is finally finished. The aluminum 225 has a mild cam, Holly 390, headers w/dual exhaust, electronic ignition and several other upgrades. I added an A-833 tranny and a 7.25 Suregrip w/3:55 gears for conversation fodder. The Mopar 14" rally wheels and redline tires...

I am near Savannah. I am aware of the NGMC but am not a member. Been to some of the shows.

I've got a 62 identical to yours. Have some spare parts and a lot of experience with what not to do and where to find what I didn't have. Also, have a 62 Lancer parts car with a lot of rust. Not much left on it but the drive train.

Hi Rob, Looking for the rear spearhead door mouldings. My Signet is also missing both sides.

I've got a 7.25 Suregrip with a 2.92 ratio but want to change the ratio to a 3.23. I also have an open 7.25 with a 3.23 ratio that I can use for parts. Will the ring gear and pinion interchange between the two rears? Do I have to change both the ring gear and the pinion or just the ring gear...

Ketone Automotive matched my original interior paint and offered it in an aerosol can. Excellent quality, service and price. Website is www.touchupspraypaint.com. Phone is 847-669-3604.

I did call them and struck out. They know nothing about it.

I just had my instrument bezel rechromed and it came back without the blank plate that covers the square holes where the auto buttons are. My car has manual transmission. Apparently, Mopar used the same bezel for both auto and manual with just a cover over the holes for manual. Anyone have...

Will an open 7.25 ring gear and pinion fit a 7.25 Sure Grip?

I agree. I am trying to keep the car as original as possible with a few modifications to help performance. Since this will be a Sunday afternoon driver, I'm not too worried about it not holding up under a heavy foot.

I am wanting to convert a 7.25 open rear end in my 62 Valiant to a Sure Grip. Can this be done without swapping out the entire rear end? I have found one out of a '67 Valiant but am not sure whether it will fit. Also, can my present open ring gear be used on the Sure Grip to keep the ratio...

Tried them. Only '63 and newer. Thanks.

I have been unable to find a hood to cowl seal for my 62 Valiant. '63 and up is no problem. Anyone have any ideas?

Sorry for the late reply, but I haven't checked my messages. I do not have any fender spears but would suggest you contact www.mmpar.com for a used one. They have a lot of new early Valiant parts but they also have some used Valiant parts cars that I saw recently. They should be able to help.

Looking for a 7.25 Sure Grip rear end. Any ratio, but 3.23 preferred. Please PM.

Looking for a 7.25 Sure Grip rear end.

Can a suregrip center section be put in a non-suregrip 7.25 banjo? If possible, where can you find one?

Thanks Bruce. Do you think the 235's would rub the lips of the front (stock) guards? Joe

Needing a good dash pad for a 62 Valiant Signet. Preferably red, but can paint other colors. Mine is cracked.

I am replacing the glass run channel weatherstrips on my 62 Valiant Signet 2 door hardtop. The channel is between the window glass and the vent window. Do you replace just the webbing in the channel or the entire channel? The webbing runs under the chrome lip at the channel edge making it...

I am wanting to use a larger tire size on my 62 Valiant. Does anyone know what size 14" (or maybe 15") will fit without rubbing the fender or frame? The width might also be a problem.

Note sure about a 61 but I have a 62 and it is roughly under the radio and ash tray. Easy to see and get to.

Thats pretty much what I have found. You would think that someone would still have some NOS in inventory.
