    The way my luck has been lately, I won't even buy green bananas...lol! I also can't seem to spell tempt correctly.

    Now I have a Valiant

    Here is update that I promised. All oil leaks are repaired, and trans is shifting as it should. I replaced the distributor with an HEI set-up. This is the most radical cam I have ever had. These are some of the parts off the slant that I need to sell. Hopefully I'm all ready for the annual Mopar...

    I am considering putting a reverse manual valve body in the trans. I think the governor is sticking...

    Now I have a Valiant

    Working through the problems little by little. Kinda overwhelmed by latest school shooting, but I drove the Valiant to work this afternoon. Transmission still is giving me problems but overall outlook is improving. I promise a major update soon with pictures...

    Now I have a Valiant

    Thanks Dave. I have a spare also, but I'm loosing faith in the mopar ecu. I think I'm going to change direction and go with an HEI set-up. Getting closer...

    Now I have a Valiant

    Oil leak is fixed, Trans shifts better! Higgs hooked me up with his trans guy and he gave me some tips. Now I'm working on carb and timing, and then the new ignition box crapped out already! Rather than getting MORE frustrated, I need to wash and detail it and then get some pictures posted. Road...

    Now I have a Valiant

    Made some progress today, no more exhaust leaks and idles around 900. Need to remove & reseal oil filter adapter and replace extension housing seal. Getting older and more prone to injuries has taken a lot of the fun out of HOT RODDING for me at least!

    Now I have a Valiant

    I got another air cleaner that clears. I wish that was the only problem. Won't idle below 1300, runs hot and leaks oil from filter adapter. Trans shifted properly at first, now starts out and stays in second gear. Also leaking trans fluid which I guess is OK since I overfilled slightly! Also...

    Thank you for your prospective Rev. I'm so regretting taking the reliable slant out! Giving it a rest...

    Now I have a Valiant

    Never had a project fight me so much. The last week and a half have been as frustrating as I have ever experienced. Working on cars in general can test anyone's limits, but I have reached mine. While hanging the exhaust system, I pinched a nerve in my neck and lost feeling in hands & right foot...

    Now I have a Valiant

    No worries, gives me something to shoot for...I REALLY want to hear the 340 run!!! Secondly, driving it will be a plus also. I got used to the "Leaning Tower of Power". Looking to make the Valiant scoot! (Hopefully, fairly reliably too.)...

    Now I have a Valiant

    Thanks Dave. I have done the trans swaps from the bottom since I got the lift stands. Didn't have to remove the hood for engine swap. I don't think it will be sorted by next Saturday. What show are you talking about?

    Now I have a Valiant

    Great news, I put the slant and trans on craigslist, and a fellow Mopar fan needed it for his '73 Dart! He drove up from Colorado Springs yesterday morning, and we loaded them on his trailer. Feels good to be able to help him out. Woke up this morning to snow, so I wasn't thrilled to be working...

    Yes they are loose. I need to get through taxes and look at finances for remainder of parts before swap. Although I'm getting close! :drama:
