    FABO in Ventura, California?

    Nice cars!!! There is an old convertible Valiant for sale right by Ventura High. I keep thinking of asking him if he will sell me his mirrors haha.

    Horn Honking Drama Show and Tell

    When I would go to use my turning signal my horn would honk. Just a light tap would set it off. Same with if I applied any pressure to my steering wheel. Figured I was completing the circuit internally so I used a steering wheel puller to see what was going on. As you can see I came upon a lot...

    FABO in Ventura, California?

    I was curious how many guys out there live in Ventura. I have had my first classic for nearly 6 months and while driving around haven’t ran into much Mopar at all. I was hoping I could meet up with some people in my area at some point for their knowledge or even just to go on cruises. Appreciate...

    Suspension Rebuild Kit?

    Haven’t seen much Mopar around my town. Mostly Chevy boys. Hoping I ended up meeting someone in my area that can help me out. This is my first classic. Had her for almost 6 months. For now I will keep counting on all the guys on FABO!

    Suspension Rebuild Kit?

    So next on my list for my 64 Signet is the front suspension. I think the only thing that has been touched ever is the addition of KYB shocks. The rubber seals have seen better days so I am assuming it would be a good move to do a front suspension replacement? I saw rebuild kits like this one and...

    Swage on Drum Brakes?

    I am going to be servicing the brakes on my ‘64 Signet 200. It seems the bolts have a swage holding the drum on. I have read on one of the forums that people grind or cut these off? Any recommendations? I can’t find anything in the service manual about it.

    Listen to this noise...

    So the noise has been fixed. The rotor indeed was hitting the contacts in the cap. The 1/8 inch of vertical play on the cam was allowing this to occur. To fix this I made a washer to set under the spring clip. Funny enough this washer was made out of a water bottle cap just to make sure my...

    Listen to this noise...

    After all the information from you guys I pinpointed the noise to the rotor hitting the contact points in the cap for sure. If around an 1/8 inch of vertical play is normal for a cam on a distributor than I am thinking I could have the wrong cam or perhaps the wrong rotor? I am thinking I will...

    Listen to this noise...

    So I am fairly sure the shaft has been worn down over the years where the spring clip rests which has given the vertical play I am experiencing. Or I have the wrong clip. Now I am trying to figure out if I can find/make a bigger clip spring to fill the gap or if I need to get a new shaft. Any...

    Listen to this noise...

    So I removed the distributor today. There was no oil felt. The spring clip seems as if it is the wrong clip or the shaft has worn enough that there is now vertical play. I also found a piece of plastic that I can’t identify. Does this look like the correct clip? Is this shaft worn down?

    Listen to this noise...

    W Well you guys all helped me out a lot. I have only had a classic car for a few months and clearly am new to this site as well. I was fairly sure it was the distributor, but I didn’t understand how and why. Appreciate everyone’s knowledge. Even with my vague descriptions and short videos I...

    Listen to this noise...

    That is only after 50 miles and not the best picture. This is my old one and you can see where the plastic is getting worn away.

    Listen to this noise...

    Yes when I removed the cap the rotor can move up and down by hand. The contacts are all getting worn down on the cap at the bottom of the step and starts to grind into the plastic. Fairly sure you found the answer with that shaft bushing.

    Listen to this noise...

    The contacts inside the cap are worn because the rotor is hitting them. The rotor has about an 1/8 of an inch of vertical play and about 3-4 degrees axial. From all your comments I believe this to be the problem. Now what would be causing the rotor to have so much play and what would be the...

    Listen to this noise...

    I bought the car a few months back and it has had this noise from the beginning. I am not sure what I should do next. I have the clips that clamp the cap on...wouldn’t that increase the chances of it being seated in the groove? I can’t see any part numbers on anything so I am having even more...

    Listen to this noise...

    I am fairly sure it is from the distributor. Any idea why it would only make this noise at idle?

    Listen to this noise...

    The towers are the contacts on the cap? I replaced the cap because those were worn down. Checking my replacement cap now it seems they are worn down again and it has only been 50 miles. Almost as if the rotor is too high.

    Listen to this noise...

    I have a ‘64 Signet 200 with a 225 /6. There is a noise that is made when I am in drive or reverse with my foot on the brake. When I give it any gas the sound goes away. Here is a video of my car in drive with the emergency brake on so I could record. It sounds like it is coming from my...

    Charging issues on a ‘64 Valiant...

    I am now using both fields of the alternator and my electronic voltage regulator is functioning properly. The car is now charging again and is no longer overcharging either. I removed the metal washer and added an insulated one to the internally grounded brush on my converted alternator. I want...

    Charging issues on a ‘64 Valiant...

    This is my exact alternator. I have read what you wrote. You answered many of my questions. I understand I need 2 fields for the electronic one to work.

    Charging issues on a ‘64 Valiant...

    That is the same exact one is mine. I used the picture off Amazon because it’s raining. Both brushes are there, but if you see the one on the left has the full spade connector and a black washer and the one on the right has the tip of spade clipped off with no washer. I believe I may be able to...
