    I boughttbought thing from Cobra transmission. It's for a 66 slant 6. Unfortunately, it turns out the engine I purchased was a later model. I had to get a different torque converter. Consequently, this is just been taken up room in my life for the last year. I'd rather it go to someone...

    Been gone for a while, but my 1966 Valiant has returned from the shop.

    Output shaft bent on a 904

    I had violent shaking in my car. I suspected it was the driveshaft, but I replaced the driveshaft and it returned. Sure enough, the output shaft is bent. I have looked around for a new one, but I can only find one from a Jeep 1960 and up...

    Soft brakes after changing wheel cylinders.

    So, i blew out one of the rear brake cylinders a few days ago. I still have 4 wheel drum, so I decided to go ahead and swap out all 4, i'm sure they were old. So, i changed out the rear 2. I bled the brakes until no more air came out. When i tightened them, the pedal was just as stiff as...

    A body, AM radio out of a 1966 Plymouth Valiant. Works

    i pulled it out some time ago and have decided i like an MP3 player in my daily driver. So, instead of throw this on ebay, i figured i'd check and see if anyone wants it here. It works, i picked up all the AM stations. It sometimes got a hiss sound in the background, but it didn't bother me...

    Is this the correct kit for my 7.25 rear end?

    Well, there is about 8 gallons of gasoline on my driveway this morning (66 Valiant)

    And i thought to myself. That's not good. So i looked under my car and sure enough, theres my gas tank dripping away. Its probably been dripping all night. It wasn't leaking like this when i parked the car yesterday This isn't a new tank, probably the original and its pretty beat up. It...

    So, i got a nice two speaker adapter from 74 sport. Then i got two goods 3.5 inch speakers, which conveniently came with mounting hardware. Then i got a free speaker off craigslist and removed the felt. I had to make a mock up first with tape before glue. Then i ruined the felt. But i think...

    Went to tighten up the valve train and got a nasty surprise.

    One of my rods was just sitting there and the rocker was sticking straight up. The rocker doesn't look damaged. The rod doesn't look damages (but i'm still replacing it). Problem is that the lifter looks messed up. Do these periodically fail? I thought they were solid? Anyway, i can move...

    Putting two speakers in the dash, when it was only built for one

    My dash has a single speaker in it. That worked fine for the original AM radio that was in the car. But now i took that radio out and stuck in something i could plug my ipod in(sorry you all original fans). I have it wired up to the single speaker, but that doesn't give me much audio...

    How different are these from each other? Anyone with pictures of the front quarter panels of a 1966 dart. I can't seem to find a good picture on the net. This is probably a dumb question, they are probably very different. Anyway, just thought i'd ask.
