    Information on upper A arm mounts for a 63 Valiant.

    All, What's the compatibility years on those, and any suggestions on where I could get them? Tearing apart the front to put on disk brakes and rebuild discovered the upper A arm mounts (and frame underneath) are rusted out pretty bad. If I can find a clean front clip, I'll do that, but if I...

    63 Valiant - rust in front A-arm mounts

    All, got all the front suspension off, and cleaning up, in preparation of new front end and disk brakes from DrDiff. Found some rust in the upper A-arm mount (driver's side, don't know passenger, yet). Wanted suggestions on repairing...I'm hoping I can just 'sister' an L-shaped piece over it...

    63 Valiant - what are these springs?

    Started dismantling the front for disk upgrade, and there are spring sleeves on the front drums, near the back. I've never seen that, so I'm curious, what were they for? Thanks, Steve

    63 Valiant new brake lines...where do these clips go?

    Need to bug y'all again, please! Installing new brake lines, and I got a brake clip set. Rear end done, and I think these are all for the line front to rear. The old lines were a little ragged...I found all the spring clip locations but one, but there are two bolt-on clips, that weren't on...

    Rear drum adjusters

    On Mabel, 63 Valiant, 7 1/4 rear. Looks like later drum mechanism, as it has self-adjusters. I bought for a 65 Valiant, looks right. But, the adjuster mechanisms both have star to the rear, and both are right-threaded. Is that correct, or should they be threaded opposite (a left and right...

    63 Valiant fuel line run from tank to fuel pump?

    Alright, have the new fuel line in place, but it ends up a few inches in front of fuel pump. Old line was so ragged, I didn't get pictures for reference...does the fuel line, coming from underneath, bend up above the inner fenderwell to approach the fuel pump or stay low, close to the frame...

    63 Valiant disc brake swap kits?

    Sorry, I started by searching the threads, but some refer to OOB dealers, and others, I still have questions! Looking at disc conversions (disc, manual dual MC, new lines throughout) for Mabel, 63 Valiant. I saw SSBC mentioned on a 63 Dart, 14" wheels should clear (Jim K)...will that fit a 63...

    Tar-like undercoating on 63 Valiant...any way to remove it?

    Started pulling the old fuel line, and, as I worked my way forward, realized the whole underside is coated in a dry tar-like material. This 1963 dealer rustproofing, a 70s JC Whitney thing, or what? Any way to get it at least mostly off without blowing the car apart? I fear it'd turn into...

    Replacing fuel pump...gasket sealant?

    All, Finally digging into Mabel...63 Valiant 170 /6. Replacing fuel system, and it's been a while since I've done much besides maintenance. I got a new fuel pump, and it doesn't say anything about gasket sealant, just gasket and tighten bolts to specs. Not sure if materials changed, is...

    How do 63 Valiant gas tanks mount?

    So, when I got Mabel (63 Valiant convertible), tank had dropped, just one strap on it, and bungeed to hold it on. I bought new strap, and it came as a set of two, and the listing for hangar bolts (that I'll order soon) on Year One for it say 'set of two'. The slot and hangar hole is on the...

    63 Valiant rear bumper shape?

    Is a 63 Valiant rear bumper straight across the back, or does it V towards the car at the license plate brow? We got Mabel (63 Valiant Signet 200 convertible) home today. Too late to get decent pictures, I'll try tomorrow! I had noticed gaps between the rear bumper end wrap and the side...
