Yup, my 63 slant wouldn't run right until we took out the distributor and readjusted the plate underneath as posted in OldmanRick's photo. Patience is the key word when doing this operation.

Car is finished and will be picked up tomorrow. Used StrokerScamp's suggestion. Thanks one and all for listening!

Spoke to my mechanic this morning. He is taking the route suggested by StrokerScamp.

Stroker, The exhaust is all apart and at my mechanic's shop. Your idea might be a solution if I take the original to a shop and have them make it and let my mechanic install it. Good idea, thank you!

Yes, it is a slant six.

Thanks for the info. I have to go back to the mechanic on Monday. I will share this info with him. I don't know exactly where it is hitting at this point. He said that it isn't clearing in a few places. I shall update on Monday. Thanks again!

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! My mechanic has my 63 Valiant Signet V200 2 door. The exhaust system was toast. My friend gave me an exhaust pipe from his 72 Scamp which doesn't fit. The Walker muffler and tail pipe is a fit. We are having trouble locating a new exhaust pipe. ??????

You can take the boots off the old wires and install them on the new ones.

Give me bigger and heavier any day! My 75 LeSabre was rear ended by a Nipmobile who was hit by a 1992 Buick. Nipmobile was totaled, 92 Buick front clip was on the street and only my rear bumper was damaged. Oh, and I was stopped at a light. My 67 Buick Skylark was rear ended by another...

Neatest paint job on an engine that I've seen in a long while!!!

My 63 /6 gets about the same mpg as my 81 318. Just for references purposes.

Wow, those mpg numbers are far in excess of what I get with my 63 Valiant Signet with /6. It has been averaging about 16-17 mpg. It has been tuned up and this is about 2-3 mpg more than I get with my 81 Imp with 318.

Strange, I found out that I am missing one also!

Justin, Basically he redid everything my mechanic did. This included setting the distributor correctly with both adjustments, re-setting the points, finding a carb crack and an exhaust leak. All of this by "ear"! When I drove the car home it ran like new. The simple things that modern...

My 63 Valiant slant six has been running "ragged" to put it mildly. Saturday at a local NJ show, a Mopar guy completely had the car diagnosed, adjusted and running properly for the first time in six years!!! He did this in about 30 minutes. No JOKE! This after having spent close to $600 on...

What about an old fashioned Cherry Bomb muffler?

I have the same exact problem on my 63 Valiant /6. Went so far as to buy new carb, change the plugs, points, condenser, new distributor and wires and new timing chain, new fuel pump and filter. Still does the same thing! Usually in the colder weather. On the open highway when it is warmed up, it...

From the recent past experience: The Slant Six club of America seems to have broken up into small, regional groups. The reverse of the regional groups forming a larger organization. I belonged to a local group in New Jersey and have gathered that 'internal politics' broke the larger group up...

It's your car, you pay the bills and do the work! Whatever floats your boat (G)!! Go for it. I am doing my 63 /6 in hot rod style. So far I have received many compliments.
