    Por15 Fuel tank sealer.

    Hi folks. Just wondering if anyone has used their leftover Por15 fuel tank sealer on the outside of the tank too? If so, has it lasted? Thanks

    Ok, thanks guys.

    What are the best shoes?

    Hey folks. Just put new drums, springs and shoes all around the old 64. Purchased everything from Rock Auto. Unfortunately I fell for the "best price" deal and bought the Bosch shoes . What a dumb idea. I went from worn out old brakes that worked great (one foot operation that stopped on a dime)...

    Another "where does this bit go?" post

    I believe it's the over center spring for the park lever. I was just looking at mine yesterday. Helps snap the lever up and down.

    Messed up on my wiper switch. 64 Valiant

    You are correct. It's a good thing I still have feeling in my finger tips. That washer is thin! Thank s for your help

    Messed up on my wiper switch. 64 Valiant

    Hi folks. I removed my headlight switch an took it apart to clean the internals and relube. It works great now, even got my dash lights working again . The problem is I had to drop the wiper switch down too because the harness was just too short to pull the headlight switch by itself. Now my...

    Here we go again. Vin & fender tag decoding.

    I went through this a couple of years ago but didn't get as far as I wanted. Maybe I didn't give/have enough info at the time. My 64 Canadian Valiant has, according to the block number, a 64-66 LA 273 2bbl engine and I'm very happy with that! But the VIN as far as I can tell from LOTS of...

    Taking bets(no money involved) How long will this engine last?

    Well the engine is back in and running! No bearing knocks so far but I haven't gone over 3000 rpm yet. I'm really happy with how it's running so far except for the nasty leak from the oil filter adapter. The gasket kit didn't have the proper gaskets so I'm on the hunt for a kit or even separate...

    Got it running!! But filter adapter is leaking :(

    Got the engine installed and running. No knocks from the old bearings so far lol. The machine shop that did the heads for me supplied a complete gasket kit for me too, one of those fits all EngineTech kits for 273,318,360 etc but it didn't include the small gaskets for the hollow filter adapter...

    Early smallblock motor mounts.

    I believe they do look like that. Bummer. I guess I'll use the originals for now. Thanks for the info.

    Early smallblock motor mounts.

    Hey guys. Another question. Are the early (1964) 273 motor mounts different from the later ones. The originals have one large stud going through them with a large nut on either end. The new ones I got from Rock Auto are smaller and have a stud on one side and two studs on the other and are...

    Taking bets(no money involved) How long will this engine last?

    273 exhaust manifold bolts. Sealant or no?

    Thanks dibbons. Do you think the Permatex will do?

    273 exhaust manifold bolts. Sealant or no?

    Back again folks! I noticed on my 1964 273ci that the exhaust manifold bolt thread bores aren't sealed from the water jackets in the heads. I used some Permatex silicone on them but I'm thinking it's too hot for that stuff. I'm also wondering what the connical washers on the exhaust bolts are...

    Taking bets(no money involved) How long will this engine last?

    Hey folks. Well I've broken all the rules with this one! First let me say that I know I should have taken this engine and it's parts to a machine shop to have them hot tanked. But I didn't lol ! Anyway, I pulled my 273 apart after sending the heads out to be done because I found that it was...

    Thank you plenty sir!!

    Mixed up my 273 rocker arms. Are they different?

    Thank you. All have 308 stamped on one side and a W with mixed numbers on the other e.g W15, W4, W13 etc. So I thought I might be in for a bit of a bad day tomorrow lol. You've made my night :lol:

    Mixed up my 273 rocker arms. Are they different?

    Hi Rusty. I'm not quite sure what you're asking. It's a 1964 273 with solid lifters and adjustable rockers.

    Mixed up my 273 rocker arms. Are they different?

    Hi again folks. I removed the rocker arms from the shafts to clean the shafts out and mixed up the order on one side @#*&^%. So are the exhaust and intake different? If so how do I know what is which haha. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Wally.
