1965 Plymouth valiant gauge cluster. Cheap aftermarket replacement cable. Speedometer works fine for a couple of thousand miles. Then it starts bouncing all over the place and stops wherever it wants. Usually around 30 mph. You reach up under the dash, unscrew the cable from the speedometer...

Me and Jason (@Prorac2 ) made the first cruise in of the year at gilmores car museum. Every Wednesday night from 5-8 in the summer. Kinda chilly so it wasn’t a big turnout. But the car was a big hit!

Our turn signal switch showed up today from @slantsixdan . The quality is BETTER than OEM, and the part arrived super fast and packaged very carefully. I definitely recommend buying one from Dan if you need one. Compared to others I’ve seen on the web, Dans is heads above the rest...

Looking for a handful of the wire clips that hold the “rotor holder”? Onto the shaft. Little wire clip, with the ends turned up. We’re getting ready to put an advance limiting plate and change the advance springs in the distributor and would like to get some spare clips, cause I lose clips...

while building Jason’s 63 valiant, we did the humpectomy on the firewall, using the wiper motor, pivots, switch, and linkage from the donor 1965 valiant. The problem we’re having is when the wipers are at rest, at the bottom of the windshield, and when you turn the switch for the wipers on...

We purchased a filler neck flapper for our 1963 Plymouth valiant project. But we can’t figure out how it installs? When we try to install the sentry, the lips on the filler neck won’t let us slip it in there. No matter how we try to slip it in there. Any help is appreciated...

We just bought our interior restoration parts from Richard at Restoration parts and materials. @RPM440+6 The trans action went absolutely perfectly! Richard took the time to help us figure out what parts we needed and which ones we could do without. They were shipped out quickly and...

we are doing the interior in Jason’s project car now. We have some very nice front seats that jive with our interior ideas. But we need to have the back seat recovered to “jive” with our new front seats. To add to the challenge, we’re also working on a 16 year olds budget. Lol. The...

We’re getting ready to install Jason’s carpet in the valiant project, and need to clean up the sill plates. As the pictures show, they aren’t in bad shape at all, just a little oxidized. Just wondering what products and procedures everyone’s using to clean these. Thanks. Eric.

holley list-4440. Dad picked up a couple of carbs to rebuild with his grandson, and this was one of them. I’m finding that it’s a Holley carb built for Chrysler for the 67-69 383 hipo engines. I haven’t been over there to look at it for condition yet. Hopefully Wednesday. Thanks. Eric

His prices look pretty good and he’s from right here in Michigan. I’ve never heard of the place before, and can’t find a lot about it on the web. Anybody have any dealings with them? Thanks. Eric

strange issue with our rebuilt TF727. At first it engaged and drove up and down the driveway perfect. Today I was making some carb adjustments, and backed it outside to mess with it. It’s running great. But. When I went to pull it back in, I put it in gear, gave it some gas, and that’s...

We're routing defroster hoses, and the passenger side is pretty self explanatory. It's the driver side that we're having trouble with. It's really really tight back there. Lol. It looks like it comes down on top of the back of the ashtray to avoid the wiper linkage……barely. And it just...

In re-wiring our project car, I noticed that the engine compartment, and under dash harness, were wrapped with what appeared to be regular electric tape. It was sticky and shiny. It was definitely factory. What is the definitive source or product used for a factory looK? Thank you. Eric
