Sounds like tranny fluid is the way to go....tho I do think I have some hydro fluid left from refilling my leaking floor jack:finga: Thanks - I found the hydrolectric site - very similar to the other site I pirated the previous info from. TGIF 2morro :blob:

Thanks for the response - this is what I found on a mfg'ers site.... "Most cars 1967 and newer use automatic transmission fluid, from 1962-67 they may have used either automatic transmission fluid or brake fluid. Brake fluid can be detected by its pungent odor and transmission fluid smells more...

Hi folks - new to working on convertible parts...so bear with me. The pump struggles mightily to raise the convertible top on my 1963 Plymouth Valiant 200 Convertible. Not sure if the pump motor is low on fluid and will check that tomorrow, or top cylinder(s) are shot?? Real question is what...

Hi guys - I did find the two bolts that held the seatback down, simple 3/8th ratchet, popped them out, lifted up and out it came!!! Thanks to all - especially '65 Valiant" for the picture - it will also help me figure out where to put in the rear seat belts.... happy motoring :cheers:

ok - a couple good ideas to try out - thanks. Raining here - will update u folks when weather clears and I can look at it again....

Thanks - will look again from inside the car and not the trunk!!!

Hi guys, Im trying to get the rear backrest from a 1963 Valiant convertible out of the car. I know how to get the part of the rear seat that you sit on out, but want to take the back rest of the rear bench seat out. Tried pulling up, pushing down - but no go. What am I missing??? Getting a bit...

Ok - I know it's been a while since my last post - but I've been working on my boat and enjoying the summer so haven't gave you guys an update on my situation. I got a spare carb of a different list # and jury rigged it up and it ran a bit better, so I went back to my original carb. Took it...

Hi - can you post the "List" # of the holley 1920 that ur selling. Im looking for a specific one. Thanks

I've been careful about setting the air/mix screw, I've tried it at 1 turn out, thru 3 turns out and no help. MAtter of fact, I can take airmix screw out and it does the same thing. I think the idle circuit is still clogged. I don't know how - I had it prof''ly rebuilt and then I rebuilt it...

Ok - got home early today and my son helped me with the "trick" KitC gave us on trying to clear the slow idle circuit in the carb. Net, it didn't work, we even tried while pumping carb cleaner in the idle screw mix inlet. It just doesn't seem to be getting enuf gas at slow idle to run, just...

Worth a shot I guess - thanks. One of my buddies says it could be intake valve lash ?? But per Service Manual, it should be set a low idle - hahahaha - that ain't happening either Will let u guys know what happens...

I had the same question, and "rumblefish360" gave me this answer. Thanks RF360.... "It's simple, all cars got the 5/16 line unless it was a HEMI or 440 engine. Period. Hi-Po 383's didn't even get the 3/8 line in E or B body cars "

here's mine - another work in process, it's a 63 Valiant model 200

UPDATE: Ok - I got a carb rebuild kit from mike's carbs, did the rebuild and b4 I started the car, I disconected the fuel line from the gas tank, hooked up the fuel to some premium gas, used the cranking of the engine to purge the old fuel from the fuel line, thus ensuring I only had clean gas...

Very cool - thanks, good info to know.

Thanks TMM, appreciate the info. Just for my own knowledge base, how do you know? Is there a spec sheet or something you looked it up on??

Hi - I have 1963 Valiant 200, with a 225 slant 6, my question is the fuel line size. I was looking to replace the fuel sock in the gas tank, but I understand that there are two sizes of fuel lines used, 3/8" and 5/16", how do I know which size I have??? IF you say measure it, is it the ID or...

Thanks - good tips, will try them out. Here;s a pic of what she looks like

Muchas Gracias... for your thoughts, I appreciate the lead to the carb. I don't have a tach, just a timing light. I thot I'd bring it to a carb shop so it was done "right". I'm fairly handy(just rebuilt the lower unit on my Johnson 150 boat engine and it purrs....) so I think I'll order a...

Hi guys - This is my first post. I recently picked up a 1963 Valiant 200 Convertible, it was the 1st car I owned but it was a Signet back then, since Im a tad older now, I went for the convertible..... It has a 225 slant six, w/ a one barrel holley. As the title of my post states, I can get...
