I'm sure this topic was started like thousands of times before but I would like confirmation if I have the decoding right. I would like to find out the date when my Valiant was built (or at least planned to be built). The VIN is VL41C4F 221369, so what we need to know here is the 6th digit which...

Hey guys, I have a tiny problem with my seat belt buzzer system thing. It was already faulty when I've bought the car. When I sit in the car and turn the ignition, the buzzer and buzzer light goes on, so far so good. Now, If I put on the seat belt, the buzzer won't go off. Because I didn't care...

I am looking for 2 years now for a model car or a model kit of a 1974-1975 Plymouth Valiant. I'm the owner of a '74 Valiant and I want an exact model car of my real Valiant (an exact copy). It doesn't matter if the color isn't matching because I build model kits myself. Does someone know about...

My turn signal lever knob is missing since I've bought my Valiant 2 years ago. I now want to replace the knob with a new or used one but I surprisingly couldn't find one...? I have now searched for hours on the web but could only find the whole lever. Because I don't want to disassemble the...

My temp gauge didn't work, so I have replaced the dash voltage regulator which made my temp gauge move again, thankfully, but when I started the engine, the temp gauge went up to 250° and back to 0° when the engine was warmed up. I've thought the temp sender was bad, so I have replaced this one...

Hey guys I've recently tried to bring my radio back to life. It has never worked since I've bought my car back in 2022. The in line fuse together with the holder on the main wire was melted, so I got a new set of fuses, aswell as the wire block connectors for the radio - speaker connection. The...

My trunk lock didn't open properly for months, but now it's completely gone. I can turn the key but there's no indication about the lock mechanism stuff turning aswell; there's no resistance. I've read it's possible to open the trunk from the inside. My problem is, my car, 1974 Plymouth Valiant...

This might sound weird and I might get laught on, but I'm just wondering if I'm the only one with this "fear". I always disconnect the battery (I have installed a battery dosconnect switch) when I park my '74, even on meets. I'm worried about a fire caused by the battery. I mean, if I turn off...

I am sorry for bringing this up again but the more I'm reading about it the more I get confused. I have a high mileage 225 Slant Six which seems to burn and/or loose a bit of oil. I also seems to be never rebuilt. The oil pan is a bit wet but it doesn't seem to be the only issue. Anyways, I am...

There's a white connection with a spring under the dash. One end, a yellow wire, goes to the fuse box. The other end goes to the radio. The white connection is melted and I have no clue how this could happen. Yes, for sure, to much current causes to much heat, but on the radio wiring?? I also...

Hey guys I really appreciate this forum and its members. You have helped me alot with my '74 Valiant. But things are going a bit difficult, or more like, challenging. I have bought my Valiant 13 months ago, in late February of '22, to fulfill my dream of owning my first american "classic" car...

Hey guys, it's me again. First of all, thank you all very much for helping me out for the past few months. It wouldn't have been possible to me to bring back my '74 to the road without this forum and it's members. Anyways, my Valiant is on the road and it looks like another problem appeared...

Hey guys, it's me again. Most of my cables in my '74 Valiant have large cable insulation at the connectors / terminals. I'm not quite sure if it's actually insulation, as well as some sort of fusible link? I was just wondering what it's actually for and why it's so thick (I'm new to this...

'm sorry for opening a new thread AGAIN but I wanna be sure before I screw up. I need to replace one of the cable terminals (I guess) on one of the ammeter cables (I've had the infamous ammeter problem thingies, 65amp wiring/trouble shooting), so the insulator melted a bit. To replace the...

Since my amp gauge wires melted a bit I'm thinking about an amp gauge bypass. I still have two wires in good shape from another dash to replace the burnt ones but imo this doesnt solve the problem. The thing is that I have no idea about electrical stuff at all and I don't wanna burn down my car...

I was just wondering how to clean clogged cowls on mid 70's A bodies, just like my '74, which has got water on the driver's side floor panel. I've figured out that the water comes in from the "under dash vent door" thing. I was looking for answers in many threads but haven' t found a good...

I have this strange piece there on the Dash Voltage Regulator that seems to be very thin cardboard. What the heck is this thing for?

Hey guys 2 weeks ago, my '74 A Body almost catched fire from a burnt cable or so under the dash. It started smoking but stopped after I've pulled over and turned off the engine. The battery was barbecued so I think the voltage regulator went. Now my actual question. I think the smoke that came...

I have a 1974 225 slant six under the hood. I've found out that hardened valve seats were inducted in 1972. Does that mean all engines from 1972 and up can be operated with unleaded fuel? And how is it with 95 octane fuel instead of 87 octane? 95 fuel is lowest and standard here in central...

Hey guys. I've just joined the Mopar family with my 1974 Valiant 4 door saloon, so I'm new to this forum. And I already have some questions i need answers for. I was just wondering if my Valiant was a matching numbers car and it looks like it isn't. The VIN is VL41C4F 221369. That means A...
