Ok this one's starting to get to me. Hang on, this will be a lengthy run-down: I must preface this with the fact that my knowledge of the history of the PO's work (or lack thereof) on this car is basically nil. So a while back I start noticing a very 'slight' stumble on acceleration. Nothing...

Pulled from a california junkyard Dart (73 or 74 I think) with the original intent of switching ball joint patterns. I switched direction so here they are. Gave them a Simple Green bath to get off the 1/4" of grime covering them. They'd need to be finished off and by the looks of it probably...

I have a thermoquad 9245S. Pulled from a Volare but I believe these may have originally come on trucks. I never ran it so it should be considered for a rebuild. Located in San Diego. 45$ shipped USPS to lower 48.

Stock transmission pan for a 46re transmission (Dakota). I updated mine to a deeper pan. This one is in good shape. Straight edges - I never had a leak with it. I even installed a drain plug kit to make fluid changes easier! 30$ shipped USPS to lower 48. Located in San Diego.

Have a brand new Cloyes tensioner. I had plans on using this when I replaced my timing chain in my Dakota's 5.9, but long story short it never happened! I need space in my garage so I'm going to sell it. Part #9-5387. $35 shipped usps to lower 48. Edit: Threat title says 5.9, but my...

First noticed the smell of gas in the oil a few weeks ago. Went ahead and replaced the fuel pump since I'd learned the diaphragms can leak into the crankcase (no record of when the PO last changed it so it seemed like a reasonable place to start). Changed the oil and filter. Didn't notice any...

Compressorhead Ace of Spades - YouTube Johnny #5 is alive! And rocking out!

I've got 3 green armrest pads. The material is in good condition: no tears or rough wear. All the stitching looks good and tight. One of the pads has some darker discoloration. Not sure if it's just years of grease from someone's elbow on it or what. Pads came from an early 70's dart (don't...

I have a set of headlight bezels from a 67 Valiant. These are only driver quality but I believe a decent candidate for restoration. There is a slight wave in the driver side bezel (I've circled it in the photo) but it's pretty gentle and I think can be fixed relatively easily. Bezels are in...

Am I the only one has a drink (or 3) and goes looking for parts? Things I would consider unnecessary (or low priority at the time-being) while sober start to become 'fair game' after awhile. Is it possible for a credit card to get beer goggles? :glasses7: Son of a b*tch.

Not long ago, I noticed a burning smell after getting home from running errands (40 minutes of stop-and-go city driving). Followed my nose to the rear driver-side wheel. Touched the wheel and it was hotter than hell! A few months back I had re-done the rear drums (both sides) and hadn't...

Bill Hicks - Rant in E-Minor - 02 - Easter - YouTube The story of Easter, as told by Bill Hicks. Some mild language - but hilarious.

Just got myself the Gold Membership, thanks in part to the whole 'Clam' thread. Am I the only one? :thefinge:

Maybe it's already been mentioned here already (if so, I didn't see it) but Coys is having a sale on their wheels. Anyone looking to buy them, now would be the time to jump on it!!! I've been eyeballing their rims for sometime now and when I realized they were having a sale, I struck like a...

I found some slant 6 headers at the junkyard. They were on a D100, though. I grabbed them in hopes they might fit my Valiant, however the more I look at it and the more measurements I take, it appears they are not going to fit. :sad: Was worth a shot I suppose. They appear to be in pretty good...

Item: Slant 6 904 transmission. Location: San Diego, CA Price: One six-pack of Stone IPA Shipping: Sorry, pick-up only So when I bought my Valiant a little while back, the PO had a used 904 sitting in the backseat. He said he was going to rebuild the second one while the first one was still in...

So I am in the middle of replacing a stripped wheel stud. It's one of the 'left hand' threaded studs. I stripped it when putting the wheel back on after replacing the rear shocks. Old and just wore out, I guess. Anyhow, I figured it was as good a time as any to switch it over to RH thread. I...

Ok, so when I bought my Valiant a while back I did notice that there was no windshield washer reservoir. No big deal. While I was at a junkyard recently looking for something else, I came across a pretty good specimen of a reservoir so I grabbed it - little electric pump, wires, and all. I...

Looking for fender emblem as shown in the picture below. Send me a PM. Thanks.

Rear passenger drum brake (9") is stuck. Trying to get the drum off but having a hell of a time. I got it loose from the backing plate, so it appears it's the shoes keeping it in place. Per the FSM I took two little screwdrivers through the access hole on the back in order to loosen/release the...

Ever had one task turn into 4? That's me. Anyhow, I have removed the VB from my 904 (slant six) in an effort to replace the shift shaft seal. No big deal, right? Well....I had the VB on the table and was going to replace the throttle shaft seal while I was at it. Went in no problem. Right as I'm...

Ok, so the last time I tried to get the Valiant going I was having some issues. Shifting into Reverse was pretty rough, and the Drive gears felt very sluggish. After looking around a little, I noticed I was missing a return spring on the throttle pressure lever. See here for a little history...

As I dig deeper into my new Valiant I learn more and more of things that need fixin. Today brings me to the transmission. I was performing the throttle linkage adjustment as outlined in the FSM when I noticed what appeared to be a missing part, but I am fresh to the A-bodies (and the 904) and...

So the PO of my '68 Valiant at some point grounded the battery neg(-) to the engine block at one of the mounting bolts for the water pump. This seemed kinda odd to me, figuring that anytime you wanted to adjust it or take it off (like to clean it) that some coolant might drip out. Well, I...

Hello FABO community. New A-body owner here. Not new to Mopar, though! My '00 Dakota R/T is a bunch of fun :mrgreen: Anyhow, recently picked up a '68 Valiant. What better way am I going to spend $800, right? It's a 4-door Signet with the 225 slant six. Original black California plates! From...
