Dan, quick question; why only to the fronts and not the rear?

So the 904 in the '73 Valiant was toast, or so I thought. I was missing Reverse and Third gear, the most important two. I knew the 904 in my '72 Valiant was good (both are 225 SL6ers) and the '73 was my daily driver, so a quick swap fix, right? :angryfir: Wrong. :banghead: The swap was more of...

Fantastic. Thanks guys. Now to figure out the plumbing...

So I've finally tracked down a 2x1bbl Offy intake for the old slant, I just LOVE the way they look. But it is listed as being for the 60-68 170 and 225. What is the reason, if any, of it not being able to go on my 73 Slant?

I'm about to start on this project myself. How did it go for you? Any tips or trick or things to avoid?

Mine:

Saweet! Thanks bigall

Aww, I missed it :'-( Did anyone save it?

Bahahahahahaha!

Well, the head cracked on my 73 225 and I'm out of junkyard options down here in Bowtie Country. Preferably cheap but will also accept free lol

THIS is why I love FABO! Flagged all. Called both. ...what a douche bag

"See you down in Arizona Bay"...

Bahahahahaha! Goes to show you how well Ford puts their cruisers together...

I've gotten pretty quick at using a coat hangar to open my vent windows and slide my arm in to unlock the doors. I haven't had the trunk problem yet, nor have I ever put down the keys to my '72 Valiant, TNAILAV :)

Because I'm sure this question has been asked a million times, but I can't seem to find it: where do I find the tool I need to safely remove the chrome trim around the windows on my doors?

Wow, that sounds worse than southern Illinois 5-0.

Am I too excited too early about going or what, cause I'm freaking PUMPED!!!

OK, where do I buy?

Barracuda? I've always heard them called cougars... I guess its different over a mopar... Budump tss

88 LBS!!! Holy crap!

God I love the long answer, the differences were becoming more of a mystery than the timing itsself. Thanks player1up!

So how much DO the aluminum blocks weigh?

Well I've been asking around as to what the timing should be set on my 73 stock 225 and have gotten many different answers. Can anyone tell me what they think my timing should be set at and Why I'm getting so many different opinions?

Hi NewGuy, the links slantsixdan provided are invaluable, I rebuilt my 1920 the past weekend using only the .pdf file, lots of pictures taken for reference, and a half dozen baggies to keep myself organized. Stripped it, cleaned it, assembled It, a shot of ether and good to go... but I'd...

Oh, its all about The Grass Roots. Always has been.

Finally got around to trying this and it works beautifully! Thanks again RedFish!

Fixed it, it was the regulator. Local autoparts stores can have it in about a week; man I love having spare slanted A's laying around :D Thanks everyone for your help, this is why I love FABO!

I had been in and out of my 73 Valiant 225 all day yesterday running errands and on my way home i start my car and notice my dash lights are VERY bright and my alternator guage is maxed out above 40+ if I have any kind of acceleration going on. If its idleing, the guage reads straight up, but...
