Brilliant!! I love a cheap, elegant solution like this. Jealous 'cause I didn't think of this when the cap for my old '66 Valiant got run over by 2 lanes of traffic before I could retrieve it. Thanks for sharing and letting us know how this turned out...

There I fixed it. Fortunately my sister saved me from that since everybody was so proud of her they never noticed what I did. She has a doctorate now and doesn't have the sense that God gave a goose. Definitely forgot what Mom taught us about getting above our raising. To the OP. Had a...

Glad you found the correct answer 'cause Dave's not here man... Later, David...

/6 or V8 K members were the same until '67. Which side of the mounting 'eers are your mount brackets bolted to? If they are bolted to the front side of the mounting 'eers (GO WVU beat TCU) it will put the engine roughly 1/2" toward the rear of the car. Moving the brackets to the other side of...

damraider makes a good cap for cheap. Paint it to match the car and nobody will ever know...

That all depends. You could swap a manual steering shaft and coupler into your column, you could find a manual steering column and coupler, or you could get a power to manual adapter like the one here http://chucker54.stores.yahoo.net/mamastad.html Here's the problems you need to solve to make...

Rockerdude nailed it...

Know what you mean. Think their rubber stuff is made by Dang F'ing Ching in the People's Republic, but show me something that isn't...

If you are having no problems with the steering (doesn't wander, no weird pulls or sudden darts) I believe I would shim the motor enough for the pan to clear and call it good enough. Shouldn't take much more than 1/8" per side and that little bit shouldn't throw things off enough to cause...

'64 arm is 6 1/2" long and the '67-'72 arm is 7"...

Not if you got the right parts. Manual and power steering boxes used the same Pitman arms which is no longer available. '67-'72s also used the same arm whether manual or power but it was a different length than the one on the '66 back A's. Can't remember if it was shorter or longer (having a CRS...

Was the car originally a slant 6 ? I ask because the early A bodies used two different center links. V8 cars had a dropped center link to clear the oil pan while the link in slant 6 cars was almost straight. Never heard of a V8 center link rubbing on a 360 oil pan before...

Floor it twice and hit the key with no more input from your foot has worked for me for years...

I used stock '73-'76 A body disc brakes and upper control arms. With a '74 Charger manual disc master cylinder added to the mix, I had the same brakes that were on my '74 Charger in a much lighter '66 Valiant. Everything was a straight bolt on. Parts are plentiful and will be available for quite...

After a bunch of digging, I stand corrected. Thanks for that trip down memory lane. Isn't it amazing how far from the truth memories are that you made when you were 13, almost 50 years later? That still don't excuse the big chunk that was hacked out of the tranny crossmember with no attempt at...

Trim is wrong for a Signet. What is painted gray along the bottom of the car should be stainless trim. Panel under the trunk lid should be stainless as well. Typical car lot hack job. If you need proof, look at what they did to the tranny crossmember...

225 slant, 273, or 318, them's your choices, and the 318 wasn't an option until '67...

Which year are we talking about? Could be anything from a 225 slant to a 318...

Glovebox lock was definitely an option...

The round key was trunk and glovebox only. The square key was doors and ignition. Since the grooves that run the length of the key were different, a trunk (round) key won't physically go into a door or ignition lock. If cut properly the later pentastar key blanks will work in the older locks...

scottsman, The 273 and 318 use the same brackets since the mounting ears on the block are the same. That's why you can use stock '64-'66 273 brackets and mounts for your swap. The swap kit on engine swaps has the brackets and mounts for $144. Not a bad deal considering, but you have to buy...

Checked Rock Auto and the mounts they list are DEA A-2266 which are wrong. They are for '67-'72 A bodies. The correct mount is part number A-2338. The only place I have found that has the correct replacement mounts is Schumacher. The pan scottsman has is fine but it will hit his slant center...

This is scottsman again. I didn't want to be the one to tell him he had the wrong mounts and brackets. Thanks for that and the link...

Check here http://www.engine-swaps.com/Pages/ProductsYear/63.66aBody.html to see what the mounts should look like. For more info click on the installation instructions link. You can do this swap with stock '64-'66 273 mounts. If you are replacing a slant you will need a V8 center link if you...

Offset bushings are Moog K7103. $22.79 @ Rock Auto for the pair. Your alignment man can tell you if they are needed or not. Mine did. Yours may not. Didn't know you were fixing up somebody else's castoff. Good on you and carry on. FWIW either the '74 or '66 lower control arms will work for you...

Pardon my ignorance, but what kind of shape is the '65 Signet in? Running car? Roller? Gutted shell? If it's a runner or roller, you won't need the '66 K, the inner and outer tie rod ends, steering box, Pitman arm, idler arm, or the lower control arms unless what you have on the car is trashed...

Summit has this (http://www.summitracing.com/parts/rus-694030/applications/make/plymouth/brake-style/front-disc-rear-drum) set of braided hoses for a '69 B body that should be long enough. The '73 up A body hoses are just barely long enough with the 10.87" brakes on a '66 Valiant. Hope this...

waggin has one in the waggin. Check out the cars for sale forum for pics....
