i can barely tap the shifter on 3/tree 65 valiant 225 and it will fall out of gear. I've looked at linkage under hood and can't see where it's slipping or anything odd. I'm guessing it's in the column but I can't seem to figure out how to remove the middle portion to see if something is...

im back after a year of school and trying to piddle on the valiant. 1965 Plymouth valiant with super 225. New gas tank, new lines, rebuilt carb, timed (so I think correctly ) ignition etc. problem is when I'm shifting from 2nd to third it bogs down and sputters then if it's feathered a little...

I live in the Nashville TN area and have some repairs that i would love for someone more experienced take a look at and give me an estimate. Mainly tranny stuff and some wheels/parts buying info, but any and all advice would be appreciated. Feel free to IM me or reply here. Thanks, stoney

I have a 65 Valiant with /6 225, 3 speed on column. I wanted to ask what tranny would be a direct swap to an automatic.

My Rosey is a 65 valiant with a super 225 and a three speed tranny. Problem is that when i am shifting from 1st up to 2nd, the gear lever will just call out of gear. Nany ideas fo an affordable solution to this issue?

Getting ready to replace the water pump and i have a replacement pump that has a metal plate attached with a gasket sandwhiched in between with plastic holders. My question is this...when replacing the pump do i just need to put sealant on the block where the pump attaches or do i need to...

As the post says, i can cruise in second without issues. Shift to third and it boggs down. Does that sound like plugs, fuel filt, carb adjustment, etc ? New carb, runs and idles fine. Thnx guys

Ok, i posted a couple times before and now i need some more help and info. 1965 valiant slant 6 with three speed coulmn. The issue is that when im in second gear the shifter just falls out of second into neutral. I have to hold it in second (up) for it to stay. I have removed the steering...

Ok, so is there a year of rear end swaps that will bolt in or use leaf spring hangers for my 65 valiant? Want to go with bigger bolt pattern for new wheels. Seems that may be cheaper than buying small bolt wheels. I dont want rally wheels. Pretty muchstuck, huh?

I looked in the sticky but didnt see anything. Can anyone tell me why the pload pics function is grayed out and wont let me post any photos to my posts?

Ok, so ive looked at my manual and attempted to locate all the bolts but i havent started removing anything yet because i dont want to get into it and screw something up. 1) do. Need to remove the bumper to get the fenders off 2) are the fenders pinch welded to anything I will try to load...

Ok, so I finally was able to get somebody to give me another pair of eyes and check out the loose shifter on my 65 valiant /6 3 on a tree. So, here's the findings. when I move the shifter up and down the connectors and the shifting linkages all move correctly. they are tight and move with the...

I have the passenger side leaf springs changed and it went very smoothly. Now, the driver side is not going to be that easiest because I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to cut the ubolts. before I go and do that, I want to locate some to fit my 65 valiant stock. I think I measured correctly...

Is there another way to ground the cluster in the dash. Also, on the starter solenoid there is a thick blue wire that has a rubber tag on it saying "fuseable link". First, where is he fuseable link at? Second, when i check voltage on the end that is connected to the bulkhead connector, there is...

So, after receiving my (new to me) fuel and temp gauges and putting them in the 65 valiant cluster...I thought, self....(that's typically where the trouble starts) why don't you do the radio shack circuit/voltage reducer mod you've been reading about. So, off to radio shack for the good ol'...

I've seen that thread before, but now i cant seem to find it. It was how to build a voltage regulator to mount into dash for 1965 valiant and others. It used radio shack parts. Any pros or cons on doing this? And, if someone can locate it, send m in the right direction. Thx stoney

Not sure if this should go in transmission or steering, but I am trying to figure out the loose shifter on the column. I haven't tore into it yet, but my 3 on the tree is pretty loose and at times can just fall into neutral from 1st when the clutch is depressed. I would like to think that it...

ok, so will the 67 floor pan below fit my 65 valiant a body w/ some n=minor tweaking? MM1528 - 1967-1974 MOPAR A-BODY LEFT HAND (DRIVER SIDE) FULL LENGTH FLOOR PAN Replace your rusted-out floor pan with this quality reproduction. Manufactured to factory specifications...

I probably need to listen to that little voice in my head that is saying "here hold my beer, this is gonna be a good one"...but, has anyone cut out their floor panels in the rear of a small a-body car with the fuel line and gas tank still installed in the car?

so, I'm trying to figure out the best plan for me on Rosey. She needs to have new leaf springs...passenger side only has 4 and drivers has 5 and they are held together w/ some HD hose clamps. wont be driving with it like that. So, does anyone have a set of leaf springs that are in good driver...

I've kicked it around a little on here, but now I have the cash for several of the parts I need and I'm ready to send out the needs.... 1- fuel gauge 2- temp gauge 3- rear axle breather/vent bolt (brake t hold bolt) Please pm me and let me know if you have these and approx. shipping to...

Ok, so I'm changing the 65 from a 1 reservoir to a 1968 valiant 2 reservoir. I removed the old MC and the push rod. Heres my question. when I removed the 2 bolts and pulled the push rod out, a brass long cylinder came with it. Now, do I remove the rod itself from the cylinder plunger and...

I need the size for this bolt. I cant find it anywhere. changing out brake lines and the bole broke off in the axle housing. thank goodness good ol trusty pb laster and a back out kit got it out. but now I need the size of the bolt and thread to put it back together. thnx

It's not any good for me not to have something to piddle with...haha. I get to thinking about what I can do. my dash is the stock insert currently on my 65 valiant and I'm wondering what anyone has done to customize theirs using aftermarket gauges and maybe the orig speedo. just lurking for...

while I'm waiting on all the ordered stuff to get here and get started on it, I wanted to ask about one of my upcoming projects for the 65 Valiant. I am going to be replacing the leaf springs and shocks. Whats the best way to get the car up and jack placement etc for the safe and easy removal...

Ok, so I just went ahead and ordered a new gas tank, sending unit, and rebuilt carter carb for the 65 valiant 225 /6. I have a question about removing the tank. I looked last night and took the screws out of the filler tube at the fender and also in the gasket/cover in the trunk. Now, does...

well, just for the heck of it, I went back out to the garage, hooked up the old battery, pumped the carb once, turned the key on, leaned over the jump the starter and there she went.....running. Shut the front door!!!!!!!!!! What???? so, I immediately opened the choke a little to get her to...

Ok, I've got the feeling that after a battery and using a small jug to get gas to the carb continuously...i'll be able to get Rosey fired up enough to get the timing close and then hopefully adj the carb. After that, i'll drop the tank and get a new sending unit to install w/ 5/16 hard line from...

trying to get the pictures of Rosey to upload. just testing things out here.

Hey there, still pretty new on here but needing some help. I have had a whale of a time with my 1965 valiant. It has stock 225 slant 6 in it and after a lengthy battle to get her started i finally did and then she died. Heard some gurgling in the carb and there was some serious white smoke...
