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...

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...

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 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...

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'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 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 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...

So I noticed something on my 73 Charger 400-4bbl when the mechanic came to my house to adjust timing and carb. He disconnected the vacuum advance and left it disconnected. It made a world of difference in how the car drives and performs. There was no hesitation and you could floor it without it...

I've gotten too many Mopars to fund and repair. I've got this 1965 Valiant 4 Door Sedan, 1973 Dodge Charger, 1986 Plymouth Reliant and 1999 Dodge Dakota R/T. Ultimately my goal is to be able to drive my 65 Valiant or 73 Charger to my local car shows and not have to worry about a breakdown no...

On my 65 valiant when I turn on the headlights my temp and fuel gauge go to full. If I turn off the lights while running the gauges read correct. I've had these gauges redone twice by instrument specialties. Plus I added a new headlight switch within the last year. I also bought the updated...

This has been a problem ever since I got this 65 Valiant years ago. I haven't worried about it much because it needs new floor pans anyway. But this is just getting ridiculous. It's flooding the front floor pan and running all the way back to the rear when it rains real bad. When I got it about...

Does anyone have a useable spare driver's side fender that would fit a 1965 Valiant 200 4 door? Mine has the stainless 200 trim up the length of the fender but haven't taken it off yet so I'm not sure how it mounts. Whether a Valiant 100 fender would be the same, I'm not sure. If anyone knows of...

I really need to rebuild the front suspension on my 65 Valiant 200. It's the basic suspension. No factory sway bar. I was just going to replace all balljoints, all control arm bushings, bump stops, and strut rod bushings. I replaced the shocks last year. I did the whole suspension on my 73...

I've got this 65 Valiant slant six with a torqueflite that leaks just sitting. It's only driven occassionally because of this leak and not far. It has those annoying shift cables. It's the column mounted shifter. Within the last year I've changed filter, pan gasket, removed and reinstalled shift...

I finally got back my build record from Chrysler Historical. I was strongly disappointed. I can't believe I paid that much. I communicated before I decided to order but wasn't told that it would be totally illegible. I've got part of the broadcast sheet that was under the seat but it's so torn...

So I've got my 65 Valiant driveable now. Even got it tagged and insured now. Drove it around the neighborhood a few times and it does good. It's the 170 with the Holley 1920 the correct oem number too, less than a year old. I believe I can pretty much drive it wherever and however long I feel ok...

I've got this 170 slant six with a 904 cable controlled automatic in my 65 Valiant. It's automatic column shift with the cables. One for parking and one for the gears. I've had to do adjustments to the cables to get everything shifting right. I also had to install the parking lock spring inside...

So my mechanic told me my alternator was charging but not engugh at idle. It was 11.70 volts. He went through and checked all the wires, I swapped out the alternator and it still was at 11.70. He told me the regulator could be bad. I bought a new one from Vans Auto and installed it today. Now...

Over a period of a week or two sitting outside my 65 Valiant will lose about a quart of transmission fluid. The only thing I've done to the transmission since I've had the car for about 6 years is change the filter and adjust the parking and shift cable. It still shifts normal when it's full of...

I've got my 65 Valiant 170 running pretty good. I had a good mechanic come over and tune it and we actually got it to where we could at least drive around the neighborhood. Got it up to around 50-60mph and it was doing good. It seems to run good now. He says it needed valve stem seals from...

We actually drove this 65 valiant 170 down the road yesterday. It was having stumbling issues. A mechanic came and adjusted the points and reinstalled the distributor. Then advanced the timing. It did pretty good down the road we only raised it up to 45-50 mph because it was a neighborhood. But...

I don't want to end up paying $50-$100 for a fuel cap on this junky 65 Valiant I got. I just need a fuel cap that will fit. Maybe if I end up getting the body restored then I would go for one of those nice new original caps. I just need something that will work but all I can find is a 67+ which...

I'm about to give up diagnosing this 65 Valiant I got. I'm desparately trying to get it roadworthy. But I know right now it would be unsafe to drive it on the road. It's got either an ignition issue or fuel issue but I can't figure out for sure how to diagnose where the problem lies. The engine...

I've got either the 4th or 5th master cylinder for my 65 Valiant with 9" manual drum brakes. I've tried remanufactured and new ones and each one of them leak from the same fitting on the bottom where there is a plug. I even tried wrapping it with teflon but nothing stops it. I'm currently...

I've got the backfire through the carb situation taken care of it seems. I believe it was a carburetor gasket with a vacuum leak. I installed a new gasket today and I was able to rev up the engine with no more backfiring. It starts fairly easily seems to have reasonable power but I just drove it...
