My 63 Canadian Valiant Convertable. Before: Now:

Thanks for the replies....this is a pain in the butt. lol

Hi can anyone tell me where to source a new park release cable for my 63 Valiant push button transmission. Mine snapped..... So now when we finally get a summer that I can drive my little rag top around I can't because of an apparently holy grail of cables. If anyone can guide me to a place...

Thanks for the links. I'll have a look at them when I at home tonight. The red 10 guage lead and the black 10 guage lead do go through the bulk head. They screw onto tabs sticking of the bulkhead connector instead of the spade terminals that are shown in the mads article. I cleaned up those...

Well I yanked out all the melted wiring and ended up being about 4 wires that fused together. I replaced the wiring and when I wrapped everything back up I kept the amp meter wiring out of the loom. It was the black amp meter wire that was cooked the worst. In the end the yellow/black...

1963 Valiant Coys 15" C5's with 3.5" of backspacing.

I will definatley read that article and thank you for the link. I will say that there is a newer alternator on the car. The car originally had a 35 amp alternator and I would assume this is the 60+ on it now with the dual field terminals. I have read that I can upgrade the regulator to the...

67 Dart, I really can't thank you enough. By marker lights I meant the signal lights being on steady on the low filament when headlights on. So I pulled the headlight switch just to find some broken wires, that I would assume had touched at some time as well as a cracked plug. I rewired the...

67, Thank you. I will get some pictures for you. You are saying that with the key off there should not be 12v at the pigtails and that somewhere I have a connection that is crossing the wire and powering the signal light wires. I feel like I am missing something very simple. Just as an...

Update....I am going nuts..... the bulb in the left hand side stays on regardless of key on or key off.... no idea what is going on. any insight? Oh and no, I don't have a clock in my instrument cluster. Amp, fuel, and temp.

Sorry.... it was late last night when I was doing this but I just double checked... When I connect the bulkhead plug the dash light comes on with the switch plug from the steering wheel connected or not connected. The dash light also comes on when I have one l/f signal light unplugged and...

Hi Everyone, I am wondering if I can get some help with the logic on this signal issues I am working on. The car is a 63 Cdn Valiant 225cid, push button auto convertable. Manual brakes, manual steering and no hazard lights (not equipped) I have changed the flasher..... I was driving along...

Thanks everyone. I know it looks black in the pics but its actually a dark metallic black cherry. The top is white and I am looking for a white boot for it. I have a red boot that covers the whole intertior and splits between the driver and passanger. It unfortunatley covers the rear seats so...

Thats because the Canadian Valiants from 63-66 are Dart rears, Valiant fronts.

Well after reading all of the stories about Coy's after I ordered my wheels from them I am very happy to say that I had a very good experience. I think they are working hard at making things work. I am up in Canada and they promised that they would have them up to me in 14 days and they did...

So I am having the same issue on my 63. Since the cable isn't turning at all I am assuming that it is the drive gear in the transmission. I looked at where the cable goes into the transmission and see the c-clip that holds it. How does the holder come out of the transmission? Is it threaded...

Thanks everyone for your help!

Ok....so how do I do that? will I need to run a jumper wire? Also how quickly can you send me of your DeMon IVRs.....

Its got the three studs.....how about the temp guage? It has two posts.....would that be the actual sender that is pooched? Thanks for the link to the RTE how too. So i guess i should check the ground on the tank and if that doesn't help do the regulator mod.

Ok so i have been reading all the threads on the voltage regulator problems on early dashes and i am pretty sure that i have the same problem. So where does this little bugger hide? I had my dash out and i didn't see anything on the back that looks like the little three pronged regulator i...

I love that car and I love the rims. I ordered the similar C5's for my 63 Valiant Rag but in 15".

Huh well I placed my order today for the Coy's and he said 2 weeks to Canada. He was very nice, very professional and said he would email the invoice so lets see if I have the same issues. I sure the hell hope not. I ordered stright polished as chrome doesn't last long up here.

Well I had the same issue. I went to the usual suspects here in Alberta for tires and wheels and ended up ordering a set from Coys in Utah. $840 shipped for 15X6 sbp including nuts and caps. $240 shipping..... just about passed out.

Hey thank you guys so much. I am going to test the senders tomorrow on the guages but if they test out then I am definately interested in the regulator modification.... 70 Dart Mike, I really need a round tail light lens and I need a left front bolt on bumperette. I also need one red sun...

If they haven't sold let me know. I am in Alberta too and i am interested.

Hi All, New member to the board. Just purchased a 63 Valiant Convertable. Its in great shape with pretty much everything mechanical rebuilt. Love the car. I have some demons to get out of it as the fuel guage, speedo and temp guage don't seem to work....I'll be using the search engine a...
