Yeah thats why I offered at a low price keeping mind the work it needed. It doesn't need a heater core. I was able to do that myself. I did the front end on my Charger but the money I saved by doing it myself I didn't find it worth the hassle. It was a lot of work especially since it was a first...

I'm thinking of stopping trying to sell my 65 Valiant after lots of calls but no sales even after lowering the price so far down I couldn't believe it. I know it's not a Barracuda or even a V8 2 Door Signet. But it would be nice brought back to what it was once. The coolest thing to me was that...

Well I'm finally ready to sell my 1965 Valiant 200. I've been busy working on my 99 Dakota R/T and don't have time or know how to properly fix this Valiant. It has a Bill of Sale only. It is currently registered and insured. Originally sold at Bill Balentine Motors Inc, in Anderson, SC. Original...

I'm not putting this up for sale yet. Just want some advice. I'm going to sell my 1965 Plymouth Valiant 200 4 door. I've put a good bit of money into. I'm sure more than I will ever get out of it and you can't even tell. It needs a lot of rust repair. Floor pans being the most important which I...

It doesn't back fire or idle down, it just straight up quits running. Like someone turned it off. I have the Accel coil on there. It's not but maybe a year or two old. It's got a what I still consider a new engine harness even though it's a couple years old from Year One. The wires, cap, rotor...

On this 65 Valiant 170 I've got. It starts up easy and idles good. It's got the most vacuum I can get out of it for it's wear and tear. It's between 16-18 in-hg at idle. It appears the motor has some miles on it but it idles smooth and no unusual noises. All electronics have been gone through...

I'm debating changing the oil pan gasket on my 65 Valiant 170 because it's really nasty. I've already changed, intake/exhaust manifold gaskets, valve cover gasket, timing cover gasket, oil pump gasket. I've got the factory manual and it says you have to remove the center link and raise the...

Yeah I've got the factory manual. If you try to do it the way it says I can't do or see how it's possible to get everything connected and disconnected through the small park cover allen head screw. You have no idea if you're touching the lock spring or not so you may as well unbolt the cover to...

Yeah I knew all that in the link provided. Your suppose to remove the allen head screw on the cover and stick a screw driver in to release that spring but the problem is since you can't tell what your hitting with the screw driver you don't know if it's in or not. It might even be easier to...

I finally tackled the parking lock cable leak on my 1965 Valiant 170/Column Shift 904. Apparently the reason why the factory procedure didn't work for removing the cable was because there was nothing ever hooked up inside the parking lock cover. I had to remove the cover to see how to get the...

Among other things I'm going to attempt to tackle this 65 Valiant transmission leak I have tomorrow. I've narrowed it down to the parking cable cover and possibly the parking cable o-ring. As well as the pan gasket. The pan gasket is straightforward. I have the factory 65 Plymouth service manual...

I took the one signal assembly apart tonight that had the broken wires on it. I now see the spring. I had a universal 1157 socket that was similar to this one but it didn't have the notch on the side of the contact button to keep it locked in place and it had the springs under each contact. So...

I need a new gas cap for my 65 Valiant. I don't think there is a new aftermarket one available that actually fits the car. I've seen a lot of Valiant with the old aftermarket Stant S curve chrome caps. But I notice there are several of those old part numbers that look identical depending on...

Looks I will have to get new sockets for mine. I got one new bulb in and the spring somewhat "springing". The contacts don't appear to be burned. Of course I got the one fixed that is already working on my 65 Valiant. The other spare I have that I now broke is the one I really needed. It's just...

Is there a spring under the contacts? I know I took my original apart a long time ago and then it never worked again. I can't remember if it actually had a spring under the two contact wires or not. On these used ones I got on ebay I cut back some of the rubber insulation covering the wires...

I guess this is common being a 1965 Valiant. My original turn signals work but I need to change one bulb but I can't get in a new bulb. I got some spare signals on eBay and the bulbs are frozen too in the sockets. I can obviously get the old bulbs out but the spring inside the socket must be...

I'm in north Georgia. I think I tracked it down to bad ground battery cable. Tightened it really tight started it up and everything works as it should. I will need to get a different kind of negative cable. So hopefully I'm done with this.

When I was doing all this mess. After it lost power after I turned on the headlight switch for the first time I was able to jiggle the negative battery cable around the terminal and hit a spot where I saw the dome light come on. I did my "re-test" by pulling the headlight switch on and the dome...

I went to Radio Shack to get the resistors to test the gauges but they only had 1/2 watt and 10ohm and 22ohm. Will that still work? But today I thought I was done. I had everything working the way it should and I thought that was the end of it. I went over and tried one of the other two original...

I'm going today at least try the gauge test today if I can find a radio shack still open. They're all out of business here. I found two more original voltage limiters off of two clusters I have for my 73 charger. Now I have 2 solid state limiters and 3 original limiters. Out of they all can't be...

It is the IVR4 limiter. I cannot even see that led because it is so small and so up in the dash. The limiter is plugged into the gauge cluster board just as the original was. I was trying to make sure I didn't put it in backwards but it only goes in one way. So whatever way the way the factory...

I'm about to give up on it. It's taking up too much of my time. I at least wanted to get the gauges working so I could drive it around the block every once and awhile. The car isn't worth sending to a shop to have it professionally diagnosed. I'm afraid I don't have the knowledge to test it but...

I have my voltmeter today but didn't know what to test. I tested voltage at the temp switch and it's less than a volt. I've got the rte solid state regulator in and the voltage at the ign terminal is 11.65. My battery is at 12.40. I tried an original used regulator I had and probed the temp...

I found my RTE voltage limiter along with another temp and fuel gauge in my garage today. So I looked at the limiter that I currently have on the instrument cluster installed in the car and it's the one Instrument Specialties converted to solid state. So I swapped out the limiter today with the...

I've been thinking about this upgrade for my 65 Valiant 170 since I've replaced the wiring harness a few years ago. I bought a new engine/light harness from Year One and it was the original type that used points. I currently have a points distributor in my 170 but it's been sitting outside over...

I think I actually got the instrument voltage regulator from RTE. I think it's converted to a solid state voltage limiter and it has the red led in it. You can't hardly see it anyway on the back of the dash so it doesn't really help me. I looked through my receipts and I believe the fuel gauge...

I had a problem with my fuel gauge going all the way up when I turned the headlight switch on. It was recommended that I add a better ground to the instrument cluster. Today I removed the instrument cluster and verified all the screws on the back were tight. I then made a ground wire that a ran...

I call instrument specialties to get some tech help on the issue. I asked him if the circuit board could be the issue. He said he doubted it would be in the circuit board. That it seems it's in the wiring. That's all they really told me. I know the cluster is grounded to the frame. Do I just...

I just had my temp, fuel gauge, and voltage limiter redone by Instrument Specialties about a year ago. Also the speedometer and the ammeter was replaced with an NOS they supplied. I also have changed the dash harness with one from Year One probably been two years on that. The engine...

How would you tie in the vacuum bypass valve that sits in the water pump housing? Or would you plug it up too? I replaced it with a new one when I put the motor in the car. It ties in with the OSAC valve too. I read the description and operation of it in the factory service manual and it seems...
