Update: I checked each vacuum circuit with no found issues. The internals of the distributor look great, almost new. Set the reluctor gap. I have not been able to hot lash the valves yet. Reset the timing to 10° BTDC. Since I have reset the timing I have yet to have any major issues with...

Will the metal rear sail panels from a 72 bolt into a 74 body? If they will, would the rear interior side panels work also? I have a 74 duster that I’m collecting parts for. I have a good set of doors for both years. I would rather have the metal sails and door tops than the plastics from 74. I...

I was able to drive the car about 20 miles on the highway today at much more constant speeds than I have been in the past. There appears to be a surging or bucking that appears at consistent throttle position at nearly any rpm. It is much more prominent from 0 to about 1/3 throttle. The best way...

I’m assuming this is the carter bbs carb. I was hoping to avoid spending money on a questionable reman but may have to. Does the kickdown linkage and all bolt right up to this? I have a 66 d300 with an industrial slant 6 with a bbs but it’s a manual choke/trans so I don’t have all the needed...

I pulled it off yesterday. It still looked new basically. Pulled all the plugs too. I know this isn't the right way to read plugs but they all look pretty even.

I didn't know. I thought I saw something one time about reading the health of the ignition system by how the inside of the cap looked. As for arc marks, when it was arcing, burns, etc.

What am I looking for here? The cap fits well and the hold downs are tight. Would pictures of the cap and rotor help with anything? Tank is new, All lines are new (hard and soft), and a new quality filter. The pump is the only thing in the system prior to the carb being reused. It was flushed...

The hold down bolt is tight. Does the slotted metal bracket have any history with coming lose from the distributer itself?

I have a 75 Valiant more door with a 225 that I recently put back on the road after about 25 years of sitting. Everything on the motor is stock. I am having an inconsistent issue to where sometimes the car runs and accelerates great. Other times it has noting off of idle and blogs like it is...

Does anyone make or know where to get a replacement headliner for a 75 Valiant 4 door? This car has the bow style fabric headliner. I'm not super concerned with using the factory correct material as long as it somewhat goes with the rest of the interior. Thanks, Zack

I’d say around 50% of each is exposed. But it has to sound better than not having anything. If I had taken a few more measurements to better position them I probably could have gotten most of them under the grate. The original plan was to mount the tabs inline but the speaker frames would have...

Go for it, that’s why I posted it here. I really think that 6.5” speakers may fit. If I was to do it again I would mount each speaker off the factory studs and the rotate them to the desired positions to get the tie link measurements. Should have done that this time but without seeing the whole...

I am currently working on a 75 Valiant and wanted to upgrade the stereo a little. The car was already cut for a single din head unit and I had a pair of 5.25" speakers sitting in the garage. I laid under the dash and did a quick mock up. I decided to use two of the speaker mounts to hit the...

Looking for an arm rest pad for a 75 Valiant/Dart. Would prefer dark green in color but would consider other colors as well. Does not need to be perfect, just usable. Thanks.

Thanks for the clarification. I had someone offering the Cherokee set-up to me in trade. I was trying to figure out if they worked like the earlier 8.25” brakes did and directly swapped.

Can anyone confirm that the Cherokee drums from an 8.25” rear will bolt up to an 8.75” rear? I believe this is the case with everyone doing the disc swaps. My 8.75” was converted to lbp with Yukon axles and green bearings but nothing was done to the sbp brakes. It is my understanding that I will...

Have any of you permanently mounted and wired a solar powered battery tender into any of your cars? I have a handful of older vehicles and tractors that may sit for a couple months at a time between use. Some of these may require a bit of cranking to get them to fire between starts. I’m normally...

Forgot to mention this is a fold down rear seat car. Didn’t know if it had something to do with that? I couldn’t cross reference the part numbers anywhere online.

The pictures may not do it justice. Those pockets are only about 5” wide and 1.5” deep. There are no holes in the back of the pockets for wiring or anything except for the 2 that are visible. It is almost like it should have some sort of decorative insert or inlay in those openings.

Bought a parts car (74 Dart Sport) and these were in the trunk. They are about 6-8” in length. Can anyone identify them. Don’t want to just throw them out if someone needs them.

Is Schumacher the only company that manufactures mounts for this swap?

What is everyone using for swap mounts now? I’m trying to go from a 73+ spool mount /6 to a SB. I’ve seen rumors floating around Facebook and such that Schumacher and Mancini were out of stock for about 6 months or more now. I haven’t had any luck on their websites recently. I thought about...

Thanks everyone for all the information. Just out of curiosity, what rear gear did most of the /6-od cars come with in 75 and 76?

I get what you mean by the od and final gearing. That’s why I have 4.88’s behind my t56 in my duster. I’m not trying to spend a grand plus changing out the rear just for gearing. I literally have everything to put either trans in the car so I’ll have nothing in it. Just trying to add the 4 speed...

I’m not really looking to change the rear gearing. This is not a performance car. Just a 4 door survivor that I’m getting back on the street to putter around in. I have my BB Duster for having fun. My main concern was that the 2.66 gearset with 2.76 gears would be so sluggish at times that I...

I’m considering converting my 75 Valiant (225-auto) to a manual. I have both an OD and a non-OD transmission to choose from. The car currently has stock highway gearing but I don’t see it ever having anything lower than 3.23’s if I ever do change it. It’s just a driver. I’ve heard the slants...

Here are the pictures. It has the 2.66 gear set. It appears to be in decent shape from what I can tell, let me know if I’m wrong.

I know it doesn’t have the OD set. Is it possible to change out input shafts like that if it is an 18 spline gear set?

I recently picked up an a-body a-833 in a trade. It didn’t have any operating levers, shift arms, or shifter but it was a ‘76 aluminum case, 23 spline, and 5.125” ibr so I assumed it was an overdrive unit and I was ok with that. I shuffled it around the garage a few days before noticing the side...

I need to replace a major portion of the passenger side floor pan. Ideally a half pan that replaces that whole side is what I would use. Problem is, they don’t seem to exist. 1. Are the whole pans not offered for the 75-76 Valiants and Darts due to the additional catalytic converter clearance...
