Hey guys and girls I just bought a 75000 mileage 318. After doing a compression test the cyl 2 failed because a cracked valve seat and cylinder 2 have bad pitting. So I sent the block to machine shop for sleeving cyl 2 because the other cylinders was in really good condition with minimal wear. I...

In a package deal I got a Volare 8 1/4 rear with a cone diff and 3.21 ratio that I want to put on my Valiant. I know the the Volare rear end is wider and that the spring perch location is different. But the problem I have is that I want to run my 5.5" SBP steel rims. So I want to redrill the...

When I bought my Valiant about 2 years ago it had a rear end bearing noise. Since it's my daily driver and I didn't know which bearing it was or how to fix it then I just drove it instead. But recently the sound got louder and shifted in tone and I could hear that it was from the left outer...

Bought the Valiant real cheap to have it as a daily driver and planned to put the Valiant front on my 73 Dart Swinger and put the Dart front on the Valiant. But I have fell in LOVE in my Valiant and especially because it has a 225 Slant 6 (Still in love in my Dart and the V8 too). Don't think...

Hey dear FABO member I have changed my 1bbl 225 to a Super Six setup. And I took my Carter BBD (Chrysler 1974-84) that came from a 318 and I rebuilt it with parts from Mike's carburetor. The problem is that the idle is too high maybe 900-1000 rpm and I can't make it less. I have checked for...

This is my progress on my shift kit installation. My goal is firmer upshift than stock. So I have only drilled the hole in the separator plate like this: A .110" B .086" C .110" D .125". I thought it is easier to make bigger hole than smaller afterward. In the last picture it shows how to...

Hey fellow FABO members, ever since I bought my 1973 Dart have I think that it is something with the car that doesn't look right. Yesterday I finally figured it out. It is the rear wheel house that somebody have cut out to probably remove rust at both sides. This looks ugly and my only options...
