    Clunk noise when shifting upwards

    I would be remiss if I didn't chime in. My b body does the same thing and I have replaced the u joints and checked the rear end, as far as I can tell this is normal just get used to using the throttle a little more aggressively like all the rest of us Canuks should.

    Poor Rhonda does not like sitting and I don't blame her. I take her out for errands on weekends and after work because she told me to start driving her or else. The new ujoints got rid of the shake in the back. I also had to rewire the whole engine bay and by-pass the alt meter in the dash as...

    Value of this canadian Valiant 65

    I paid 1200 for my 66 complete and on the road but I was lucky, and no one wants 4 doors, I know mine has 4 doors and no one wants it after restoration, so if it's for you a grand aint't bad and restoring is expensive.

    My neighbour with that really awesome ram with the hemi came by because his pretty little truck would not start and he had no way to get to work. I lent him Rhonda and he is starting to wonder more and more about classics. He also stopped with the new Chrysler jokes.

    I must have done 20 donuts that last storm and then on the way home that 47 year old beauty decided she did not like her new alternator so she stopped, in traffic, blocking the left turning lane, YAY. So called AAA or Caa in Canada and towed her home. I brought the alternator to the NAPA dude...

    Rhonda is now at the back of the garage, it's been a hard winter and she is tired. We talked of selling her but there was no interest. We are now thinking of just fixing her up over the summer and getting her ready for next winter as we have no cash to invest. I was thinking of gloss black...

    Concerns with family smokers & my infant while on vacation

    If it is 40 below with 150 mph winds I go outside to smoke. My kids are more important than my "habbit". And just because my unattached garage has a couple mopars and a small space heater has nothing to do with it. I will not smoke in the house.

    Salt on the roads

    My question is this: What kind of car should we use in the winter? My preference is an older mopar that is not rare. In the winter you fix the rockin' summer mopar, In the summer you save the winter mopar. Can you say win-win

    Salt on the roads

    I live in an area that uses a lot of salt. If you have the time, buy truck bed liner or rhino liner and roll it onto the entire underside. Next get some chainsaw oil and use an old pot to warm it up a little then spray the crap out of everything. When you think you have sprayed enough do it...
