Is your line coming from the gas tank? On my '65 Dart there were several clips and a hole in a cross member (K-member?) keeping the fuel line in place as it went to the fuel pump. Glenn

I'll second that. Glenn

Well for whatever it's worth I just got back from a shopping trip. A Wix filter and a 5 quart jug of Castrol 10W-30 High Milage oil. Will see how it works. ..and thanks for all the support! I do really appreciate it! Glenn

I understand that people have strong views on things like 'which brand oil' or 'which brand filter'? Thanks all for being level-headed in your responses so far. Glenn

Adding zinc, okay. What would be a easily found zinc additive I could find at O'Reillys or Autozone or NAPA? Glenn

Have read threads here and on other sites. I may be regretting doing so. So my recently bought '64 Valiant has a 225cid /six. The oil is nicely black and I'm sure in need of changing. I've come to the conclusion to get a Wix oil filter, which is no problem here. But what oil to run in my...

Was under the engine today looking for any sort of number which may shed some light as to what year this engine and tranny is. Remember I have a '64 Valiant with a column mounted shifter. Automatic tranny's in 1964 were supposedly push-button. So I have a bit of a mystery! Found on the...

So 'cork' gaskets need a sealer? The last time I remember fooling around with gaskets I was a teenager. Been a while. So I've forgotten stuff! Glenn

Looks like the 225cid slant six in my recently acquired '64 Valiant is leaking some oil. I discovered the bolts were very, very loose. Have tried to snug them down a bit but oil still seems to be leaking out. So am considering replacing the gasket. Fel-Pro makes two kinds of valve cover gasket...

Okay, from underneath. Is this on the pan itself or in the vicinity of the pan? Glenn

The 'R' is definitely a 'R'. Can't see any stamping between the 'R' and the number '1'. So where should I look for a the oil pan rail VIN? Look from top of car or underneath? Off to work! Glenn

Would some picture from underneath help decipher this any? Glenn

So where would either the block casting date or pan rail VIN be located? Glenn

So my recently acquired 1964 Valiant looks to have a 1965 or later slant six in it. Being told that 1964's did not have automatic transmissions with a column mounted shifter. Mine has one. Read somewheres that column mounted shifters came in 1965 and later. So could someone decode the code...

Thanks for the info! Glenn

I just bought a 1964 Valiant last Tuesday. After getting it home I noticed there was a oil leak. Today trying to detect the source of the leak I narrowed it down to the valve cover. It appears to be coming out near the back end. So I checked the nuts/bolts holding the valve cover on. They were...

So how many of these vee-eight guys get in their 4 banger 'modern' car and drive off without thinking anything of it? Glenn

What model Holley is it? A 1920? Glenn

For a second there I thought you were the winning bidder on a wife from some up to now little known European country! Glenn

Thanks! I guess I'd better start looking at more engines to acquire an accomplished eye. Glenn

Can one tell the difference between a '170' slant 6 and a '225' slant 6 just by looking? Are there any obvious signs other than what a sticker on the air filter housing says? I'm thinking around 1963 thru 1966 roughly. Any thoughts? Glenn
