So here it is after first start up. I have a short video of it, but can’t seem to upload it.

At any compression over 10:1 the pressure the turbo puts out has to be very limited. 13:1 requires for street use with a carb and without computer control requires 100%+ octane fuel, adding more compression via a turbo requires more octain and ignition control. I run a supercharger on my slant...

JB weld looking repair. Personally unless it is a “numbers matching” restoration, I would just find another 68-71 block.

When you get the alignment done, have the front of the car lifted to the approximate height it will be at the 660 foot mark and have the alignment set to factory specs at that lift height. It is worth .25 to .50 of a second. You can also take the third leaf out of the rear spring pack and put...

With the large pulley on it as it came, it will add 150hp to the 250hp the modified engine made. I bought three smaller pulleys with the kit, and was told by the manufacturer that the smallest pulley will add 500hp. So I’ll start it with 400hp, and end up a year or so down the road with...

Getting close to installing this mini monster into my 69 Valiant 2 door. I have the full four piece pulley set ready for additional power gains as it all works in. It is backed by a 4 speed from a 383 Dart, 9 inch dual disc Ram clutch and for now a 3:23 sure grip. The goal is to have it on the...

I found that the complete setup from a 78 cordoba fir onto my 74 A body spindles like the factory planned it that way. 20,000+ miles later if still stops on a dime. The cost of the new rotors were only $65.00 each, and thats up here in Canada.

If you have the arms off, weld a plate across the bottom to make them stronger. Make sure you have holes in the correct places for making adjustments. Look on the internet for pictures of commercially available ones and then make your own.

I live on Vancouver island. I would like to swap a manual steering shaft for a power steering shaft to fit in my 69 Valiant. I have a whole manual steering column with column auto shifter for a 69 Valiant, but just need the actual shaft. Anyone want to swap.

With headers, I have often found it difficult to get a good seal the with the thin stock, or even header gaskets. I found the solution buy a company called Rem-Flex. Their graphite intake/exhaust gasket in 1/4 inch thick and it works very well. For the slant six the number is RF6008 costs...

I hope you leave it all ratty-assed looking so when you eat some Mustangs and Camaro they really feel stupid. My turbo 69 Valiant is all shiny and pretty to look at and I seldom get to a chance to school the the other guys.

I am moving in a few months, and my project Valiant needs to go. What it currently does not have is the front or rear suspension and steering system. It needs rear outer wheel wells. What it does have is the original 318 and four speed, tinted glass, and registration. $2400 Dale, 250,962-6518...

I have manual steering in my 69 Valiant, and want to put in power steering. I would like to swap my manual steering shaft and coupler for a power steering shaft and coupler. I live in Prince George, B.C.

If your rear torsion bar mounting point is rusty, and your good with a plasma cutter and wire feed welder, cut the torsion bar mount loose, position the ride height where you want it, and weld the mount back in place. After cleaning all the undercoating, and cleaning out the dirt on the...

I am wanting to change from manual to power steering for my 1969 Valiant. I would like to swap with someone, the steering shaft from my manual column for a longer power steering shaft. Dale Prince George, B.C.

I have a 1969 Valiant Signet body I would like to trade for a 1930 or older car body to build a rat rod, Mopar, Ford GM etc.. The Signet needs outer inner wheel wells. I have new trunk floor extensions but not installed. The body is in good condition. There is no suspension or steering. The...

A crank scraper is a very easy item to make. Use poster board to make a mock-up which you can then transfer to a piece of 20 gauge metal for the final product. I cut a length of board the same length of the pan rail, and wide enough be .020 from the crank counter weight. Bolt it down to keep it...

A five HP barstool racer is fine, but I have some students in my automotive class who are building one with a 440 Yamaha snowmobile engine in it! It should be a nice death ride, with all the scrapes cuts and chaos that a guy loves.

Before I put the 6.1 Hemi in my Valiant (dream, dream) I would like to try turbocharging the 6. I have seen a pile of less that effective, or nice looking turbo setups on the internet. What I am looking for is someone, or some site which has actually made a proper 300+ RWHP turbo install. I am...

You don't need any forms. If the company sends it UPS then UPS makes you pay all the government fees. If the parts come from a private person, the customs will look it over and send you a "please pay now" in the mail. If it comes by mail from a company, then the post office collects the...

I just bought a 69 Valiant 2 door that has a perfect body, but a slant six with a 4 speed. I have just rebuilt and strengthened the K member in my 69 Valiant with a 318, adding polyurethane components and .990 torsion bars, as well as 12 inch disc brakes. I would like to put the 318 K member...

I can send you some in about two weeks when I get back from vacation. Dale

Front fenders have been repaired and are without dents or rust. I have two new trunk floor extensions that have never been used. A...

I have been toying with the idea of drilling my 12 inch rotors to aid the stopping power of the system. Has anybody done this ?

The VIN number and no title should not be a problem. The vin number is stamped on several locations on the body, like the front radiator support, firewall, trunk etc. It differs from vehicle to vehicle. I live in British Columbia Canada, and up here the government has what is called, the...

The cam is too large for the compression ratio and stall converter your friend is using. What gear ratio is in the car? with that cam you should be in the 3.90-1 ratio. The stall converter should be at least 3000 rpm, preferably 3500. Even with that cam, there should be at least 10-12 inches of...

This method works, and is dirt cheap. I have even used it to take corrosion off very old silver spoons, coins etc. I use a 30 liter Rubber Maid plastic bin. A 2 inch by 1/8 inch metal strap is hung over one side to which the positive battery clamp attaches. The negative clamp attaches to the...

I am wanting to put a Firm Feel power steering unit in my Valiant. I am willing to swap the steering shaft (not column) and box (24:1), with some one who wants manual steering. Any takers?:toothy7:

The Just Suspension strut rod bushings work fine. Contrary to some posts the thickness of their bushings are the same as the Mopar stock ones. The only problem one may find is if one modifies the front strut bushing mount by welding in a 3/32 thick steel washer to strengthen that area to handle...
