    Help please - Need to source seat belts for 64 Valiant

    I replaced the 2 seatbelts in the front of my '64 Valiant with belts from SeatbeltPros.com. I then bought 2 more for the back seat which didn't have any belts at the time that I bought it. Glenn

    Modified 1964 Valiant - Trunk mat options?

    I've got a black floor mat that you'd find in many stores near the front door or cash register. Someone who had the car before me trimmed the mat to fit in the trunk of my '64 Valiant. Works fine. Glenn

    New to me...a 1964 Valiant!

    Well whatever the parts are the're fun to drive! I plan on leaving this pretty much as you see it other than add a dual reservoir master cylinder on the brakes. Glenn

    Yeah, I don't like the single reservoir system myself. Will change that out for a dual reservoir system! Glenn

    New to me...a 1964 Valiant!

    Someone else here decoded the fender tag which claimed this was originally a 170cid slant six. Obviously over time the engine, now a 225cid, and tranny have been changed/upgraded. Glenn

    I ask for forgiveness! I almost sinned...almost!

    Please forgive me. Lately I've been discouraged about the lack of success getting my '65 Dart to start (timing issue). So I started to lust after other....women? Nah! But I did look at a '87 and a '89 Corvette! I'm sorry! Yes I looked lustily at some Chevy's. But thank God I came to my...

    Went to Fall Auto Swap Meet at Monroe today...

    The Evergreen State Fairgrounds in Monroe, WA is holding the annual 'Fall Auto Swap Meet' this weekend, sponsored by the Antique Auto Restorers. Big swap meet as it pretty much covers most of the fairgrounds. Picked up a few things that I can use on my '65 Dart. Went by the Used Car Corral...

    Anyone here use Layson's Restorations?

    The appeal of Layson's to me (before reading this thread) was that while some of their prices are a tad bit higher, I could go down and pick them up myself saving shipping. Of course there is 90 minutes of driving and gas either way. Maybe the thing to do is go on down and take a look. Buy the...

    Placement of floorjack to lift a '65 Dart?

    Need to jack up the rear end on my 65 Dart so I can remove the gas tank. Want to put jackstands under the rear. Not sure where to place floor jack to lift the back end high enough? Any ideas? Yes Steve...I looked in the service manual but have yet to see anything about where the jack points...

    Anyone here use Layson's Restorations?

    Am working on replacing the gas tank in my '65 Dart. Trying to decide where to buy parts. Layson's Restorations (Lakewood, Wa) will give any FABO Gold Member a 10% discount on parts purchased. Was wondering if anyone here has had any experience, good or bad, with them? I'm about 1 1/2 hours...

    Differences in US verus Canadian cars?

    Under 'engine' the spark plugs should be gapped at.035 inches. The intake valves should be adjusted to .013 inch clearance and exhaust valves to .021 inch clearance. Most numbers seem to be in tenths of inches not millimeters. I see references to foot-pound and inch-pounds. Don't seem to...

    Differences in US verus Canadian cars?

    I bought a 1965 Service Manual for Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth/Valiant/Imperial. On the cover it says "Sales Division Chrysler Canada Ltd" and also "Windsor" and "Ontario". My 1965 Dart was made near Michigan. Can the info from my 'Canadian' manual be used on my 'US' made car? Or do I need a...

    trailer hitch for a early dart

    I just pulled this off my 1965 Dart earlier today. The previous owners had it put on to hitch up a motorcycle trailer. Don't know anything about how much weight it can handle. It was attached to the frame back by the rear license plate. It's 2 separate pieces. Glenn

    Confused on the 'SQ' number and what it means? Does '315' mean March 15 1965, or March 1 1965? How do you read it? Glenn
