Hey V-8 Valiant. You're from my hometown, parent's still live there. I will say that I have never seen more Mopars than in Washington state, especially the Yakima Valley. People are still driving 60's b bodies to work.... It is weird. Sorry to jump in, but the $50 a side is...

Hey DartCuda, you're right over the hill from me. Have you checked out the wagon on the Portland C.list? Now that is a clean wagon. It is a 65 I think with a factory V8. Anyways, I am still looking at getting the wagon. I should know later this week. Thanks, ROB

I guess my question is this, didn't they put that model of clip on from the factory on some cars? If so, what was the model called? Thanks, ROB

I'm fairly sure that there are several different fronts that they installed on those cars. My favorite is the 64 Valiant nose on a wagon. I don't know what the actual name of that model of wagon is, but I like it. Thanks, ROB

I am looking at a 64 Dart wagon. I really dig the wagon, but I don't really dig the nose on the car. I have a 64 Valiant nose that is my favorite early A. Can I interchange them? If so is it a bolt-on? Also, where on the web are there early A wagon sites or information? Thanks, ROB

When I looked at mine yesterday, It looked like the drop was about equal to the thickness of the bar. Maybe 1" or slightly more. Keep in mind, I am on my back looking under a car. Here in a few hours I am going to look at a collection of pieces including a dropped arm, mounts fenderwell...

BTW- what ever the headers are, he said clearance wasn't bad. ALthough he did mention having some wheels that were offset some. The thing I can't figure out is that he says they are fenderwell, but they don't have a slip fit on the collector? I'm under the impression that he is a bit...

I am just getting estimates so I know what to pay without paying too much. The idea at this point is a low-buck street car with a simple type performance theme. I think the best exhaust for me would be the spitfires. I have attempted to contact him with no luck yet. I was curious...

That is what I thought. I did not want to offend the guy since I called him and he has owned and currently does own a pile of Mopars, been at it for a long time. The early one is real strange looking. He said he had "both types" of early A manifolds. Also said the later ones would work...

Hey Robert, I guess you know why I haven't called with head CC numbers.... I've been kinda busy with the early A thing here lately! I have heard from a local that all the A body manifolds will interchange. I know that goes against conventional wisdom, just what an old hand at this had...

I may just adapt one out of a newer car. I have some 70's stuff. Thanks though

I'm sorry for not being clear. It is a 64 Valiant.

I am fairly well versed in what the newer A body parts sell for. The early stuff is new to me. Here is what I am after. I ask because I am looking at it later this week to see if it is something that I can use. V8 frame mounts-engine to K stuff Fenderwell Headers-Hooker fully welded...

Got one on there now. I am going to cruise EBAY this evening, ROB

There is a local guy, I don't remember his name, that collects the early a bodies. He lives outside of Medford Oregon and has alot of them. I may give him a call if I can find his name. He is likely a member here. Anyways, I am so used to Jeeps and putting everything under the sun...

Don't I need my 73 Center link since it is V8? I am likely making my own mounts so I can manipulate things around to make them work if needed. I thought V8's required a dropped center link?

OK. I have read through most of the swap here and in other places. I really did not want to get in a spot where we had to get one special part and not have it. I want to keep the manual steering that is on the car. I have the entire upper and lower C.A.'s and the dropped center link etc...

As of yesterday afternoon I am now a happy 64 Valiant owner. It is a /6 3-on the tree car. Real basic and spartan...just the way I like it. I have been doing some reading, and I have a fairly simple question or two. I have a BBP 73 Dart that I have removed the mechanicals out of. I...

Just an FYI but the rear is wider by a bit. It can be dealt with by using proper backspacing but it is wider. ROB

So is a good rule of thumb 400 lbs. difference between early and late assuming they have the same engines? Thanks for your help, ROB

OK. That sounds similar to my understandings of the earlier car. It sounds like I need to look into the other Valiant and see what is up. I have a friend that used to race /6's and he has told me that I need to build the one that is in there. Lots to think about. BTW-I live near...

I always ask too many questions, so here I go again. I am looking at the early 64 valiant I have mentioned in other posts. I have a pile of 73 or so A body parts. LBP disks, 8 1/4" rear etc. What parts will interchange? I think most will, but I really don't know. The car is a /6...

Sounds like they are a lot lighter than a later A body. Good to know. Thank you, ROB

I was figuring on offering around $250.00. There has been a 66 with no rust and no options at all for $500.00 with no real huge issues. It came with spare parts etc. although I think the rear window was gone. I would figure with the rust and I know some chrome issues etc. that I would...

I have a low option 73 Duster with a V8 and disks the only real option that I can see is the PS. I'm not sure on the options here, but it seems like they weigh around 3200 lbs. I think. What would a 64 Valiant Signet with a V8 weigh? No real options or anything. Thanks for your help...

Ditto on the cheapskate thing. He has a number, but won't share with me what it is. He wants me to give him an offer on it. We will see, I know what they go for on the local Craigslist. Thanks for the idea. I would say that I am not in a huge hurry for the car, but would not mind...

I know on other boards WIW questions are greeted with some skepticism. I figure since we are a tighter group here it would be alright. Anyways, I am a 73-76 Duster guy and I found a 64 Valiant Signet. Here are the basic specs: /6 with a 3 on the tree Ran when parked a few years...
