Thank you for your input.

Some very interesting replies. You have my gratitude. I agree with the combination of points you've made; just didn't want to admit that I'd come to the end of building. I've done other rods but that was years ago. This one was supposed to be the last one and so, like most other people, I...

My goodness, no. I built it for me. But from the time I started till now the left knee quit on me. Cant clutch and drive a stick. So probably take the losses and sell it but would like to see better than 15k for it. Plus pushing my 80th and figure...well you know.

331MP Very thoughtful and I will seriously consider your observations. I am concerned about the need or lack thereof for reinforcing the bumpers to keep them rigid.

Thanks. I'm learning a lot today about glass.

Thanks.

I can accept that. But I do want a 'fair chance' to start with a decently crafted product and it is possible the car will hit the market so I want it to be...marketable to the largest number of interested potential buyers.

Well Rusty. You are right. Was hoping for an easy fix like, "you need a lefthand monkey wrench". Ive never had much trouble with one of these carbs, have always been simple to tune but the mods are, as you say, extensive. I'll have to pull the stats and come back when I have more time to...

Yes. Mike. It idles nice and starts easy. Took it around the block to see if it shifted ok and (4 spd) goosed it. Went sideways immediately. So it's getting fuel but don't know about top end. Never let it out yet. 416 w lots of tweaks like headers, cam, NEW everything. Moroso spark.

Glasstek out of Ill has a ton of fiberglass for 66 Valiant/Baracudas. Question is this: I've been thinking about bumpers and hood, maybe rear deck even possibly fenders. Anyone used their stuff? Also, if I wanted to reinforce the bumpers so they don't blow in the wind, anyone with experience...

Thanks guys. I mistyped.. it is a 750 single pumper vacuum secondaries. Pump is electric holly. I cut pressure to about 5. Could drop to 4 and I have light springs in it now. I was thinking I might actually need heavier springs since it puffs slightly blue for a split second when I goose...

Edelbrock 650. New on a 340 punched to 413. Not even on street yet. Running rich. Have reset floats. Put in recommended needle and seat. Better, but Still rich. Any thoughts on cause? Oh, and have worked timing a bunch. It will idle at 700 with a decent cam. Don't remember specs on it...

I'd like to have it. VeryValliantVellow. I'm no good on these forums. Send me some kind of reply. I can give you my email if you like.

Thanks. Will look.

Rear Window Seal 66 2 door post Valiant. Needed. Not dried out. Or an idea for a suitable replacement I can modify. Anybody?

My crank gear problem is resolved. So here is second question. Calipers on the lobes of a CC 564 lift cam says I have up to 14 thousandths variance in height. Comp Cam says 2 to 3 is maximum. Do you agree. Replacement time? The engine has very low miles on it. Probably less than 2000. Is...

I'm surprised by the number of posts. Let me qualify some of what I'm dealing with. First of all this Virus thing has put me out of work for months. So I'm trying hard to control what I have to spend. Thus I've looked hard to discover the identity of this gear or to reach someone who...

SGBARRACUDA I don't follow.

Closest I have come so far is Mellings. Similar numbers on the cam gear. I'm really stumped at to which mark to use although the timing was set using the mark to the left of the Zero degree keyway. Not running the way I wanted though. Hard to keep idling etc.

Hoping to be brief here. Picked up a knock in 416 stroker. 1st thought it was lifters. Moved on to crank and cam. I didn't build engine. Had a pro do it 11 years ago. He and I lost file on details and parts we used. Here's problem at this point. Using crank gear with 3 keyways: zero...

Thanks. Good info.

MO is in the mail.

Roadkill. Need that set of visors. email me the address to send check to.

Looks like Dartgame has a set for me. Sorry I didn't list this as a '66 Valiant. My mind's slipping like high heels on ice.

Sunvisors needed. Probably could use any color...prefer black. Nice shape. Anyone? By the way. Guess I'm supposed to supply city and state. Casselberry, Florida.

I'll have to check with former moderator about '65 parts. He has some but I don't know his user name. Also found some stuff on ebay.

Well I need it. Will follow up 1st of next week. Swamped right now.

Jerry (Old Dart 66). Please do contact me when you are ready. I'm in the dark about what FABO means though.

Thanks for the help. Now about the way I'm supposed to contact members for 'for sale' items... how is that done? What's PM? Oh, and by the way I already have taillight bezels just wanted some that were already rechromed. Same for bumpers. Might be able to use the dome housing, have to make...
