I don't have the experience to distinguish between a good and bad used steering box off of the car. My fear is that I buy a used one and it's no better then the one I have. I take a risk of installing a used one and still have a lot of play in the steering wheel and wasted my time changing the...

Looking to replace a 1963 Valiant manual steering box. The best deal I found is a new box from carsteering.com for $271. Are there other reasonable options available? THANKS!

The differential leak is most likely the pinion gear seal. It's one thing to have a greasy looking differential, but it way worse to have an empty differential without lube.

I really appreciate all the input. Thanks everyone! I have been on the fence about getting the car. I believe I will pass on it now.

Hey Mike, you are not being overly negative. I tried to figure out how to PM you, but I am not real familiar with this site yet. I thought your comments were constructive in terms of pointing out things I was not aware of. I have a couple of pre 67 Valiants already. Been trying to sell the...

I know a person that has a 1965 Valiant Signet Convertible that has offered it to me for $14k. Most everything is original. It is a cream color with the original black interior (in very good condition) and black top. It's the 4-BBL 273 with auto trans floor shift. The top motor runs, but has a...

i am looking for a seat that would cover well with a car seat cover. i don't care about color, stains or tears in the upholstery. i am looking for a seat that still has all of the materials that supports the upholstery on the seat frame. The seat frames are not bent or broken. Hopefully, no too...

Thanks Cudamark, I contacted Legendary today. They only have interior for the Signet which is bucket seats. I have bench seats. Thanks for your input. What do other members do when they need upholstery? Use the local custom auto upholstery shop?

Looking for options to refurbish front seats, back seats, door panels and back side panels on a 63. Is there a company that provides these interior parts online? Been looking around on the internet without much luck. Have you had a good experience with an upholstery shop that I could send my...

I have a son with CP that drags his feet all the time. I use to use Shoe Goo, but it scrapes off far too easy. After trying several things, what I found work the best is using the Gorilla super glue gel and glue on MiMiLive rubber shoe repair pads from Amazon. I clean both surfaces and let...

To Bill, it's on ClassicCars.com. To everyone else that responded, thanks. I do have a much better feel for the value of my car now.

To Mpacker, yes, the one in Dripping Springs.

Hey Rustratrod I am looking for opinions. Tell me what you think?

I figured out why the link is not working. This website adds (https://%2Chttps//) to the front of the link making the link none functional. if you remove everything in front of classiccars.com, the link will work. I didn't think this website would mess with the links we place in this website.

Hi Mpacker thanks for letting me know. When I copy the link from old cars.com and paste it in a browser, it works fine. When I click on the link on this website that link is unreachable. So I guess the next best thing to do is to ask people to go to Old Cars.com and look for the blue 65...

Hello. I have an opportunity to upgrade my slant 6 manual everything to a 273 AT, PS. PB 65 convertible. Before I can get the upgraded car, I need to sell my old one. I have the price set at something less then what I have invested but is still too high. Please look at the ad and give me your...

Mr. Townsend, you are absolutely correct. I finally received the 3467791 and it was indeed a hard plastic part. So it could not be a supersede to 1941699. Took your advice and look over McMaster-Carr online catalog. Was unable to find an of-the-shelf grommet that met the dimensions that...

Yes, if you look, you can see the bronze bushing in the grommet second from the left. I used the bronze bushing that was already on the shift linkage rod.

Update on the oversized grommet. Reference the attached picture. The Grommet on the far left is the over sized grommet with a 3/8" groove. Next to that grommet is the over sized grommet cut down to have a 1/4" groove, like the original grommet. Next to the cut down over size grommet is my old...

Here's the results of trying to locate a shift lever grommet 3467791. I called the local dealer and was told the part was discontinued in 2019. He gave me the phone number of a dealer that showed two in stock. Called that dealer and was told that those parts were on the special order rack so...

Sounds like I need to stop by the dealer. Thanks for the tip!

I have been looking around for replacement shift lever grommet. I found a discussion talking about what the factory part numbers are for the grommets. Shift lever grommet part number 1941699 updates to 3467791, current part. Can someone point me in the direction to locate this part? The places I...

Tooljunkie, It feels like we are twins sons from different mothers. Found a 1963 Valiant in the Seattle area. After much negotiating about the details for a transfer of ownership, I was lead to believe that the car ran so good, it would drive anywhere. The plan was buy a one way ticket and...

@65dartcharger - Thanks for the pictures! I was curious how much play that regulator has at the pivot point? How much play between the two pieces that make up the front of window lift arm? I was wondering if the play in that pivot point is normal and if so how much. Appreciate all of your help!

After spending another couple of hours playing with it I ended up with a couple of little hacks that got the window fairly close. It's still about a 1/4" down but way better then before. What I ended up with was removing the front bolt of three that secures the regulator to the car. (See...

Hi 65DartCharger, I understand the terminology you were using above. I have tried several different combinations of loosening the regulator bolts, U-bracket rail bolts and the large front rail nut. If you look close at the picture showing the regulator bolts, you can see that the large front...

Greetings, I have been struggling with getting my convertible rear quarter windows working/adjusted. At the start of this project these quarter windows were frozen and would not go up or down. After removing the regulator hardware, cleaning and lubricating it, then re-installing I was able to...
