    Issues With 1960 Speedometer

    So a brief description of the issues I am facing in getting my speedo working properly. First thing its an A903 3 speed behind a slant 6.

    [WANTED] WTB Rear Brake Drum 9x2

    Well I picked up another A-body (more on that later) and one of the rear drums has welded it to the brake pads and isn't coming off. We beat on it and my partner bent the heck out of the face of the drum and is cutting it off with a grinder. That being said we need a crappy brake drum ASAP just...

    Canadian Valiant with Direct Drive Starter

    So after figuring out my wiring issues with the HEI retrofit I set about setting the timing. First thing was to determine if the harmonic balancer ring has slipped at all. So I pulled the rad and fan blade for working space and put a wrench on the balancer to turn it over by hand and measure TDC...

    New Member From Calgary

    New member here from Calgary. Just picked up my first slant 6 and first older Mopar since my 76 Volare back when I was a punk kid. It's rough but suits my purpose. And for $250 can't complain. It's a 1960 Valiant V200 with a 65 225 manual 3-speed and a spare 904 in the trunk. We quite literally...
