    No Oil Pressure

    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...

    [FOR SALE] 1966 Barracuda Bucket Seats

    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...

    [WANTED] 5/16-18 Shoulder Bolt for Slant 6 Hydraulic Rocker Assembly

    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!

    Pushrods and Rockers for Hydraulic Cam and Lifters

    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...

    [WANTED] Early A Bucket Seats

    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!

    Initial Rocker Clearance?

    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.

    Engine Install Woes

    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...

    Crank Seal Fitment Issues

    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...

    Dumb Question About Swapping Cams

    I'm going to be putting a new cam/lifters in my '66 Valiant and I'm wondering if I can do it with the engine still in the car if I remove the radiator and grill? Or am I better off just pulling the engine out? Thanks in advance!

    PCV Grommet

    Anybody know where I can find a PCV grommet with a 1.25" OD and a .5" ID? I have an aftermarket valve cover so I don't believe a factory replacement grommet will work because of the 1" OD. Thanks!

    Excess Crankcase Pressure

    I recently upgraded the 225/904 combo in my '66 Valiant with a Super Six intake and 350cfm Holley 2bbl. During initial setup and tuning, I noticed that it was smoking quite a bit, which it hadn't at all before the swap. I chalked it up to some oil or water possibly having leaked during the swap...

    '66 Valiant Factory Grounds?

    What ground wires/cables are there supposed to be going to the engine, head and/or firewall? I've found one going from the passenger side of the firewall to the aft, passenger side of the bellhousing and there's one going from the negative battery terminal to the fwd, driver side of the block...

    [Found!] Slant 6 Headers

    Looking for an affordable set of used headers for my '66 Valiant with 225/904. There aren't many new options in general and anything of quality seems to be at least $600 US. As much as I'd love a set of Dutras, I paid $500 for the car and I just can't justify paying nearly $700 with shipping...

    '66 Valiant Weirdness

    My '66 Valiant 225/904 has been having some interesting issues. Apparently I messed up by trying to fix something that wasn't really broke. I recently got this car back after 10 years of neglect by the PO, so I've been working my way around it making it a dependable driver again. I noticed that...

    Carburation Question

    What's happening everybody? I've got a bone stock 225 in my '66 Valiant and recently purchased a 2 bbl intake from 74ChargerSE. I'm hoping for suggestions for a good carb to put on top of it that would have a relatively hassle-free install. I've been looking at Carter 2 barrels that came on...

    5 x 4" Rocket Racing Wheels!

    That's right folks. 5 x 4"! Direct bolt! These are NOT uni-lug. For 5 x 4" ONLY. So that means Valiant's, Dart's, Lancer's, Duster's, Barracuda's and whatever else that runs this bolt pattern. These are really nice driver quality wheels that I bought for a project that I no longer have. A tiny...

    From the Desert...

    What's the good word, Mopar peeps? My name is Bob and I love all things car related (and a lot of random stuff that isn't). I've been into cars my whole life and recently sold my '66 Valiant sedan, so unfortunately, I'm no longer part of the Mopar Family. Eventually I'll get back into another...
