Hey guys. My uncles purchasing 2 1971/72 dusters. One has no front suspension at all. The junk yard he’s pulling from has some darts/dusters that has upper and lower control arms. Would he be able to take the upper/lower control arms from a car that had drum brakes and use a disk brake steering...

Hey guys. Looking at adding ac in my dart before too long. I have a 1975 dart swinger with a 318. It used to have ac but I’ve removed all the ac stuff from under the hood (probably 15 years ago). All of the kits I see online only go up 1972. Is there a reason I couldn’t use a kit designed for a...

Second try, hopefully it’s finally posted on the correct area… but who knows … Anyone have the stud that screws into the carb and the throttle cable attaches to? I’m in need of one if anyone has one laying around.

Hey guys, not sure if this is the correct place to posts this so my apologies. I’ve got an old guy that owns a junk yard that’s willing to sell me a 71 charger but he does not have title for it. I know in South Carolina that will be an issue. Has anyone had experience going through the Vermont...

Hey guys, my uncle is looking for tail light lenses for his 64 valiant. If anyone has any (driver qualify is fine, he isn’t building a show car but does need lenses) please let me know and if possible forward a price and photo and I can show him what is available. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hey guys. Forgive me, I’m learning manual transmission/clutch stuff on this valiant. I just got the car in my name so starting to work on it. I’ve noticed the clutch pedal does not come all the way back up, only about half way. I can nudge the peddle from behind with my toe and it will come back...

Hi guys, I’m hoping to finally have my 66 valiant in my name soon ( dmv needs to see the vehicle running to START the process of getting a title in my name since one does not exist). I’ve rebuild the carb and it runs but not great. Can I stick a newer style carb ( not the twisty throttle kind)...

Hey guys, looking for a slant six electronic distributor. Doesn't have to pretty, just functional. I'm located in Columbia, SC but willing to pay shipping as long as it's nothing too crazy. Thanks guys.

Hey guys. Checking the timing on the slant six but I don't see a timing mark. Harmonic balancer could be too cruddy to see it without sanding around it. But is this half moon part of the timing mark? I'm used to seeing a little slit on the harmonic balancer. I have the distributor pointed to #1...

Hey guys, working on the valiant (170 slant six, still has points, 3 speed manuel trans). It fired off really easy before but let sit for a couple months while redoing the brake system. Went to fire ot off in hopes of driving it down the street for the first time. It would crank over but not...

Hey guys unsure if this goes here or somewhere else. Anyone know how to get the rear shoes off a 66 valiant with 9 inch drums? There is a part the spring that goes through the shoe and catches on a part in the backing plate. Don’t want to mess anything up so figured I’d ask others that have been...

Hey guys! My uncle just purchased a 1964 valiant over the weekend and we just got it running ( slant six 225, push button transmission). He needs a push rod for his master cylinder so we can hook up brakes and needs front and rear seats. Guy he bought it from had Dakota buckets thrown in and a...

Hey guys. I installed a 4 barrel intake on my 318. I used the intake gaskets that lay against the head that edlebrock recommended. They are pretty thick. I didn’t use the cork gaskets that lay at the front and back, just used rtv. Car runs great and is fun to drive but I’m leaking oil pretty...

Hey guys just installed an eddy 4 bbl intake. Got everything on and realized my intake gasket didn’t have the exhaust crossover plate. Is that ok to leave open or do I need to remove everything and get the block off then reinstall?

Hey guys I just bench bled the master cylinder. Sealing up to a duel reservoir master cylinder (68 up if I’m not mistaken). Do I remove the screw in pic below? It looks like that is keeping the inside rod from coming out and draining all the fluid so it’s probably suppose to stay put but wanted...

Hey guys. I have a 66 valiant with a 170 and an a 903 in it now. My aunt has a 1966 225 slant six that I’ll probably upgrade to (currently have a 170 in there that I’ll keep and rebuild eventually because it’s original to the car). If I get a 225 and do some upgrades like a small cam and bore it...

Hey guys my neighbors friend is working on a duster and needed some cheap rims to move the vehicle while he’s working on it. If anyone has anything close to Columbia, sc please let me know and I can pass along the info. Thanks.

Hey guys not sure if this is the correct place to post. Please let me know if I need to move it. My neighbors friend is needing some cheap rims to move a Plymouth duster that he is working (sounds like just looking for cheap rims to move around the shop while he’s working on it). If anyone has...

Hey guys working on a checklist. I’m looking at swapping my 170 for a 225. If I get a 67/68 up 225 I would need to get a bigger flywheel, swap over the oil pan and pick up, and make the exhaust pipe a little longer. Could I swap my intake and keep my current carb/intake and throttle?

Hey guys, I’ve got a 66 valiant and I need new drums for them. It’s drums all the way around with a 170 slant six. I’m sure I have 9 inch drums but want to be safe. I’ve taken measurements but not sure if I go inside to inside or outside to outside on the drum. I’ve attached pics for verification.

Looking at the trim on the 66 valiant that sits on top of the quarters and runs back to rear tail lights. It seems like it’s aluminum ( correct me if that’s not the case). Is there anyone that can strip and polish the trim? No dents or scratches in it, just dull.

Hey guys. I just installed the Jew tang and sending unit on the valiant but the plug that goes to the fuel gauge (plugs into the sending unit) is crusty and has a ton of dirt inside. I’m thinking the gauge isn’t working because of the crap inside the plug. Would it hurt anything to cut the...

Hey guys my neighbor is putting his Jeep up for sale. I don’t know a ton about it but he said it has a removable top and has an4 cylinder in it. He’s asking $3500. Of interested let me know and I pass along his number. Jeep is located in Blythewood, sc (north east Columbia).

Hey guys looking for the under seat area for a 1966 valiant for the passenger side. I’m planning on buying new pans but need the section that’s under the passenger seat. Mine is gone and was replaced with tin at some point.

Hey guys, anyone know where I could get the under seat area of the floor for a 66 valiant? I found floor pans I can order but my uncle cut out the whole passenger side of the floor boards and then screwed then in, then fiberglassed over that. I want to take all of that out and do the repair...

Do the bottom of the back seats come out by pushing down and back like the 70s darts and dusters? Need to try and pop the lock on the trunk and don’t really wanna pay $100 for that. Figured the trunk floor would be rusted through but after looking that’s the only panel without rust haha.

@valiantwagonguy @RustyRatRod or Anyone else that may have info. Working on the 66 valiant (170, with a 3 speed on the column). Put the battery in the valiant from my dart and got the motor to spin over and run. This thing so so quiet, you can stand beside the motor and have a normal convo. But...

Hey guys. Definitely enjoying leaning on the 66 valiant. I was able to decide the fender tag and vin and figured out I have a 170 with. A 903 three on the tree transmission. How do I tell if I have an original motor to the car? I can see the casting number and it goes a 1965 170 and the tab...

Hey guys, I just inherited my uncles car. He was working on the car off and on before he passed away last month. I noticed the rear door won’t stay closed. Something is up with the latch, the door will close but u can open the door again without pushing the door handle button. I got into the...

Hey guys, my uncle passed away almost 2 months ago and I inherited his 65 Plymouth valiant. I’ve never messed with early A bodies only 73 up A bodies. It’s a cool car, slat six, 3 on the tree, but needs some work. How does the door latch work? I just got it home and noticed the door closes but...
