Here is a picture of the master at full pedal stroke. As you can see the pushrod is out of center. It is not touching at the top though. This was also during the fit up stage, there is now a bit more clearance, as the cylinder is not sitting on top of the column plate a the top anymore. The...

Alright, I have done some work today and think this is on a good track. First of all, the Master has to be the Perfection Clutch Master, Part Number: 350113. This Master is made from cast metal instead of plastic, and allows the modification necessary, to make it work in an A body. I bought a...

Hey, I have bought some Vinyl top trim clips to attach the moldings. I have no clue how to attach them to the actual Trim piece since I did not have any on the car. The factory service manual is no help. Could somebody give me some guidance on how they are supposed to fit in the channel on the...

According to the casting numbers, they are 67-69 A body 318.

Yeah, just stock manifolds. Thanks for the quick reply.

Hey, I am swapping a 318 into my Valiant. I have tried to do some research on what oil filter adapter I need. The 90-degree version or the plate that sticks straight out. The FSM shows the filter coming out straight for the 318, while it shows the 273 and 340 with the 90-degree adapter pointing...

So after following the lead of Buschi340, I have found a picture of what appears to be the clutch setup he used in his Dart. He describes that he bolted it to the original location on the firewall and that the angle of the cylinder to the mounting flange will make it work with the stock clutch...

I am using stock manifolds, so the clearance should not be that big of a problem. I really appreciate the pointer and will do some searching.

I am embarking on a little bit of an adventure with my 4 speed conversion. I have a Slant 6 904 69 Valiant, that I am converting to a 318 4 speed OD car. I have been gathering parts for some time now and have recently started to mess with making a clutch setup. And since I like to suffer, I...

Hello, I am planning on painting my car two-tone, with the roof being black. I have found a nice set of vinyl top moldings to separate the colors. Now I just need to know where exactly they should line up with the window and drip rail mouldings. As well as how many clips hold it down, and where...

Oh I see. You have stock ones on there. What makes me think it’s the wheel is that the caps fit very nice in a stock wheel.

It says stainless on the website, but it definitely feels like aluminum.

Thanks. I’ll do some more file work to try and see if I can get a more solid fit.

I tried taking a file to behind the nubs and a lot of powder coat came off that had “flown“ in there. I think it is better now, but not tons. I am just hesitant to go drive with them on, don’t want to lose 40 bucks on the road. i should have gotten orignal wheels from the junkyard down the...

How solidly are they on there? Can you pry them off with your hands? when I grip the dog dish between two nubs, I can just take them off with some force. not a lot compared to original wheels where I have to use a pry bar.

I have not, I will do that right now.

Hey, I bought 15 inch 63 series wheel vintiques steel wheels, i also bought reproduction dog dish hub caps. Problem I have is I don’t trust the grip the cap has on the wheel. It snaps on there, but when I squeeze it in the right place I can take them off with my hands, with not a lot of effort...

So I did both things one after another. First filter change, and that helped a lot. Oil pressure was still slower than I am used from other cars thou. So next was the relief valve. And that changed everything. thank you guys for the help.

Both good ideas, I did order a new wix filter and will give that a go.

Hello, I have had a problem on my 69 Valiant where if I let the car sit for more than 24 hours and I go to start it up. It does not build oil pressure, and even starts knocking for a second or two. Then all of the sudden the oil pressure builds, engine quiets down. I run at 45 psi at Idle and 55...
