I had my carb rebuilt and didn't reinstall it for several months. In the meantime, my memory faded. The passenger valve cover has a breather. The driver valve cover used to have a hose going somewhere. Attached is a couple of pics. I can't recall which port to connect my Vac Advance to on the...

70 Valiant, 318 Replacing timing chain. Old chain/gears were aligned with dots at 12 and 6 prior to removal. New Mopar P5249267 double roller set purchased. When I try to install, the crank gear is off by a few degrees. The old chain was loose and had 10* of play, so I think some teeth may...

Just came across this on youtube. about 40 to 60 bucks on Amazon.

After my son's fender bender, the side marker lens lost the tabs and would not snap into the housing. 60+ bucks for a lens was just a bit pricey for me. Here's my cheap fix. Pack of 12 super magnets, .375 OD. Using some gorilla glue, I glued three super magnets (neodymium) to the back of the...

My son was in an accident. Looking for left front fender, 1970 valiant 4-door. I could use a bumper too if available. I don't know what vehicles interchange. If you know, feel free to educate me. thanks Danny

1970 Valiant, 318, MSD 6AL ignition. So I thought I had a fuel boil carb issue with hard starting a warm engine. Tried to start it cold this morning and still had an issue. just kept cranking. I wanted to be close to the engine while cranking, so I hooked up my remote starter to the starter...

I love Thrift stores. Here's my latest find from 1962. It was only missing the water bottle:

From the pilot episode of the show:

70 Plymouth Valiant, 318: So I've been fighting an oil leak that is coming from the rear of the intake. This is the second time I've reinstalled this intake and I was pretty sure I fixed the leak in the beginning. Since then, I've replaced the valve covers and installed new breathers. The...

Picked this up at a thrift store. No idea what it is. it's about 16 inches long. The only writing on it is: Craftsman, made in usa bb Here's the pics:

I had posted earlier about a search for a 440 six-pack, but I was mistaken. My friend is looking for a 340 six pack intake for his cuda project. I am not familiar with the 340 six pack set up. Not sure if they have aftermarket manifolds. If they do, then I assume he's looking for an OEM...

Just met another Mopar person at the gas station today filling up my cuda. He's working on a 72 'cuda and is looking for a 440 six pak intake. I thought i'd test the waters here as he's having a hard time finding one. thanks Danny

So my friend has a thrift store and I get to pick through the donations once in a while. I came across this old-school car jack and was wondering if anyone can ID it to one of the big 3 automakers. There were no markings other than to say to oil after each use. Thanks for Reading Danny

During a rotation, was informed by Big-O that right front wheel had a loose outer race. I have some new hubs in transit (thanks 72Dart). While waiting, I have removed the hub. I confirmed the race was loose. Oh Boy was it loose. I would never had installed it like that since I know better...

The SBP wheel hubs I used for my Scarebird Disc conversion on my son's 70 Valiant were no good. One of them has the race too loose. Looking for a set of hubs, or drums and hubs, that will fit the bill. These would be from a front drum application with 10" brakes. Thanks, Danny

I have a service truck with a pressure washer in the bed. It has it's own 20hp honda engine with electric start. The company that installed the equipment put the battery isolator back near the honda's battery. I'm getting tremendous voltage drops. I'm attaching a crude drawing. I'm not sure...

My wife hired a local young artist to do a drawing of my car. He's about 16 years old. A good kid. Has had a rough life, broken family and all. He loves to draw and even more so when he get's a request. enjoy.

Relax. I'm still Mopar at heart. :D My daughter got a 66 mustang, so now I have to get it ready for her (like I did my son's Valiant). Can anyone suggest a Mustang forum as good as FABO? I know it might be impossible, but I have to ask. I'm hoping to find a great group like I found here...

I find a lot of cool stuff at thrift stores. I picked up a brand new intermittent wiper module and installed it in my son's Valiant with a 2 speed wiper. I was working on the gauge cluster, so I got a bit "custom" with it. The basic principle on how these work is they send a signal to the...

1970 Plymouth Valiant 318. Electronic Ignition (brand unknown, installed by PO) Orange ECU Resistor .9 ohms MSD Blaster 2 coil (PN 8202) Primary Resistance .7 ohms Secondary Resistance 5.4K ohms Problem: Car just shuts off. sometimes at idle or under a load. will start after coil cools...

My son needed to take his drum set to school in his '70 valiant 4-door. I had to share this photo. The bass drum fit perfectly in the spare tire well; and yes, the lid closed all the way. lol.

1970 Plymouth Valiant 4 door I want to install new 3-point seat belts in the front of my son's car. I think I'll be bolting the retractable part just below the base of the B pillar. (see photo) Does anyone know what is behind there? I looked under the vehicle and the fuel lines don't seem...

Back Story: 1970 Plymouth Valiant, 318. Recently Installed Edelbrock Performer intake and edelbrock 1406 Carb. Installed PCV from Left valve cover to PCV port on carb. Oil cap on right side valve cover. (Covers are Mr. Gasket chrome installed by PO). I just put the finishing touches and got...

1970 Plymouth Valiant 318, mild cam So I'm ditching my Holley for this eddy 600 cfm model 1406. I'm looking at it here on my desk, and I'm not fully understanding the fundamental operation of this electric choke. It's my understanding that before starting a cold engine, you depress the...

1970 Plymouth Valiant 318. Street Avenger 670 I installed the elec. choke. I think I understand the concept but I want to be sure. On a cold engine, when I pull the air cleaner off, my choke plates are closed. I turned on the ignition only to test the operation of the choke, and over...

1970 Plymouth Valiant 318 When I rev the engine, I'm hearing a whine coming from the engine bay. It's hard to pinpoint, but I think it might be the fan clutch. Anyone got any insight on this? I have a new Champion radiator on the way and was going to keep the fan clutch, but will gladly...

1970 Plymouth valiant, 4 door, 318. I'm finishing up a Scarebird disk conversion and have needed to turn my steering wheel lock to lock on occasion. After a while, I noticed something peculiar. I realized that my steering box is 3 1/2 turns lock to lock. Was that standard on power steering...

I'm selling off my project van and no longer need this motor. I purchased it from another seller that had rebuilt it himself. It has less than a mile on the motor. I don't know much about it, but here's what I do know: bored over, not sure how much Hardened valve seats for unleaded fuel...

It goes without saying that on a disc conversion, you have to change the MC if you have a single MC reservoir. I'm about to finish up a Scarebird conversion on a 70 Valiant. The PO installed a new MC before I bought it. It's the MC for a 4-drum system with 2 reservoirs, but they're the same...

1970 Plymouth Valiant. 318 I'm following the steps in the Moparmax article and I'm a bit confused with the final steps. I have the spindles installed (Scarebird conversion occurring too) I have torqued to spec the inner and outer tie rods, upper and lower ball joint studs, Idler arm, Pitman...
