    1967 Valiant dash cluster

    Something like that, I was thinking 260 . Either way way to much forABS plastic, but it does fit and work well. Not many after market options.

    Exhaust valve or cam reversion

    The compressions not that low it's not high either . With the head shaved 60 thou the bigger valves in it and a .028 head gasket we were shooting around 9 to 1 maybe a bit more. The numbers were the leak down pressure with 100 psi on the primary gauge to get the cylinder leak down %. The...

    Exhaust valve or cam reversion

    Hey guys , got a question. I was checking the old car out the other day and tried the paper to the tailpipe trick to check for a burnt valve and sure enough the paper would suck up to the pipe and out very quickly.

    Not enough younger people in this hobby...

    I built my little 67 Valiant as a way to connect with my kids. We done almost all of it ourselves and on the cheap. My kids are of that gaming generation as most are today, but if fathers will make the effort sons will follow them to the garage. I know the cost of stuff is high but the cost of...

    Still Too Hot

    Check for vacuum leak around the base of carb to intake, especially if the intake is a spread bore and a square bore carb. This makes you lean at idle and run hot. Happen to me feel like a fool but couldn't hear it and motor seem to idle ok but ran hot until I was driving it then would cool...

    68 Valiant 100

    you will have to take out the front and back glass to do the headliner. Under the gaskets for the windows are small steel spikes that the head liner spears into to hold it in place.
