The Oil Pressure gauge is mechanical. Sending unit for the dummy light is the one from the truck.

I was given a low mileage, good running 225 out of a '64 Dodge pickup to replace the worn out 225 in my '66 Valiant. I was told the engine ran great. While it was on the engine stand, my Dad and I turned it upside down so we could swap the oil pan out. The Valiant has the stock dummy light as...

Bought these a couple years ago from a fellow Board Member, but I won't be using them. In pretty nice original condition and very complete. I'd prefer not to ship these, but we might could work something out at your expense. Delivery or meet up halfway is possible, depending on what you want to...

Thanks!

Nope, just that thanks. Let me know what I owe you!

Hey all, I need a new o-ring or seal for where the distributor goes. Thanks in advance!

I misplaced the special shoulder bolt that goes in the Aft-most Rocker Shaft hole while upgrading my solid lifter valve train to Hydraulic, so I have to find another one. Thanks in advance!

My car came with a bench, so I was already anticipating drilling new holes unless there's something else I haven't considered?

Yup, thanks again Mark!

I'll be in SD around 2pm tomorrow, hoping I can come by and pick them up then.

PM sent, thanks!

Hey guys. I ordered this Cam/Lifter Kit from Summit: COMP Cams K64-247-4 COMP Cams High Energy Cam and Lifter Kits | Summit Racing. While the Slant out of my '66 Valiant originally had a solid cam and lifters, I believe later Slants came equipped with a Hydraulic setup? When I ordered it, I...

I'm looking for some bucket seats to put in my '66 Valiant. Would prefer a pair complete with brackets, etc so I don't have to piece everything together. I'm in southern California and would prefer to pick up locally, but I'm willing to pay for shipping for the right seats. Thanks in advance!

Awesome, that's exactly what I needed. Thanks guys!

Hey guys, I'm wrapping up the rebuild and installation of the 225 for my '66 Valiant. While the factory shop manual specs out clearance for a "hot" engine, it says nothing about a cold, fresh engine. I'm wondering what I should set the clearances to for initial startup? Thanks in advance.

Dang. Well, at least it was something simple. Thanks everyone, I really appreciate the help.

This is how it's currently sitting while I try to figure out the problem. There's a block of wood under the trans pan holding it up. @KosmicKuda so you're saying if I hook my hoist up to just that one hole, it ought to balance out?

I'd like to preface this by saying that even though my Dad and I have a a lot of experience working on old cars, they've mostly been GM and FoMoCo stuff, with very little time working on old Mopars. So, I pulled the tired 225 out of my '66 Valiant last month to rebuild it. Yesterday, my Dad...

Good to hear, thanks again!

Gotcha. I've been thinking of converting to 4.5" so I will pass. Thank you sir.

5 x 4" or 5 x 4.5"?

You guys were right, the outer ring of the old seal was still stuck in there. I feel pretty dumb now, but at least it was something simple lol. Thanks guys! Also, I've got a new Harmonic Balancer to install. I'll make sure to use it to center the timing cover before it gets tightened down.

I used a good-fitting seal driver when I tried to install one of the Mahles, bending the hell out of it in the process. Are they supposed to be pressed in?

Hey all, I'm in the process of rebuilding the original 225 from my '66 Valiant. Everything has been moving right along without issue until it came time to replace the Crank Seal in the Timing Cover. I ended up with two Mahle seals (part # 64752), both of which are almost .100" bigger on the...

I'd still like to buy them, how much you want for them?

I'd still like to see pictures, because I might be able to use some of those pieces.
