You are correct. I need the same thing and know idea if they are available

You think the prices and wait times are bad. Try doing anything from Canada with exchange and stupid import taxes and wait times.

Built a rotisserie to do my restoration. Did absouletely everything I could before taking it out of the rotisserie. Still there is a ton to do under the car as you go along. Would love to be able to afford a two post but she's all done now and probably won't be doing another resto so we make out...

Try for a photo.

Exactly. Same as a Dart GT. It is a tapered knob not the big round one. Having trouble sycing pictures so can't show you a picture.

Looking for a tuner knob for the above Canadian model. Went to the local store with the top down and someone helped themselves to the one I had.

I don't think it matters what oil filter you use. Change your oil and filter often and your good to go. I'am not talking about a race car, but for going for sunday drives and the odd car show, what's the big deal? Just saying.

I spent 30K and 27 years restoring a 65 valiant convertible doing everything myself. What you think I would get if I sold that? At least it wasn't 256K

Thanks to all who bothered to post comments regarding this problem. This forum is great as all of you are so invested in the hobby. Always having different comments allows us all to sometimes look outside the box to tackle different issues. Thanks again club I'am off to a car show today in my...

I have seen three 1965-66 Formula S blocks that have never had a cork gasket on the inside of the housing on the bolt. The cork gasket was no where to be found in two complete gasket sets that I have bought. The only time I seen a cork gasket was when I did research to fix this problem. Upon...

Success!!! Got another adaptor with the same part number on it. It had a different head on the bolt. It was a 3/4 bolt and the one I had on the other was I believe 1 3/16 bolt. Anyway changed the adaptor with a little gasket maker on the circuliar engine mount gasket, did up the bolt, snugged it...

FB cuda you have some great thoughts but I have tryed both gaskets as well as doubling up with two wagon wheel gaskets, having better temporary leak stoppage with double wagon wheels. As far as the block and adaptor goes they are stock from a 1966 formula S numbers matching motor. I have...

Both but just a little from the bolt, more from the circumference as far as I can tell, oil drips all over. Last time I put it together it was not leaking, went for a half hour drive, came back a little drip maybe a couple of drops. Next day started the car backed out of the garage and massive...

How is a picture of a leaking adaptor going to give anymore information than has already been posted???

Thanks for all the opinions. Yes the surfaces are all cleaned off even with brake cleens to make sure they are clean. I think I am at the maybe the housing is cracked point. I know I have not overtightned the bolt but with taking it off a total of 7 times I am just about ready to tighten the...

Also I have seen two types of circular gaskets. One is just a ring and one is like a wagon wheel with a centre part that I think is to take the place of the inner cork gasket. Anyway I have tryed all combinations with it leaking every time.

Yes everything is in the right place

Had the 90 degree adaptor off the engine multiple times. Finally went to two wagon wheel gaskets for where it mounts to the engine and a crush gasket at the bolt. Seemed to work for a while then it started leaking perfusely. Is there something I'am missing? I've tried everything I can think...

Car is running great, still got brake problems though. Seem to get pressure to the rear brakes, absouletely no pressure to the fronts. Tryed adjusting the valve in out all over. I am wondering about the chinese MC. Would there be less pressure from the front and rear? Used a hand held vacuum to...

Bought a new proportioning valve U.S. made SSBC. Plumbed correctly. Still having problems getting fluid to the rear axle even if I remove bleeder completely at the wheel. Not quite sure what the problem is, no kinks in brand new line and all brand new components. I have heard that the MMB master...

Hi Bill. Redid all the flares so good there now but need a new proportioning valve as the chinese one supplied by MBM is leaking from every position. Would it make a difference if the inlets to the valve are reversed? It doesn't specify witch bank of the master cylinder supplies fluid to the...

Thanks Bill for the reply, good information. Since posting I am finding a few other problems. One problem is following the directions on my flaring tool. It said to use the inverted flare at the step on the adaptor, wrong wrong wrong. I was making the inverted flare smaller than what it should...

Got an MBM master cylinder and porportioning valve years ago to convert to a double master cylinder with discs front drums rear. I am trying to bleed the brakes, have the master cylinder bench bleeded but can't get any fluid to the rear brakes as the first to bleed is the right rear brake. The...

Bought the 65 Valiant 4spd Convertible 1993, makes 22 years.

In Canada the 318 was available in the Dart. The 273 was only available on a few cars.

Just about complete my restoration of a 65 Valiant Signet Convertible with a 273 Commando, 4 spd car. This has been many painstaking years to complete and I have done most of the work myself. Should have joined this site years ago but just kept working along on my project myself so I am sure...
