I found that same piece of wire in other blocks too. Must be part of casting process

72 Valiant 4 dr...I'll try to find a pic when the $23 was new... Ypur car looks fantastic

My car looks like crap

Had my head ported, polished, milled, and fitted with oversized valves and hardened seats...and it was CHEAP!!! I saved so much I'm considering using long rods and forged pistons in the bottom. It was done by an independent drag racer who is also a professional machinist. He has a home shop and...

If I come into money, I'd consider this. What other mods have you done? How is it to tune? How are the street manners?

You'll need a bell housing. Was the Slant in a manual or automatic car?

I'm just wondering whatcha think... when it comes to headers, Aussiespeed or Clifford?

I always wondered about the rationale of drivers who aggressively cut me off to not be behind my 45 year old Valiant...cuz now they're in front of my 45 year old brakes...

No disrespect intended for KK...but for all we know you're totally bald ;)

I don't have confidence in any of the 40+ year old oil soaked harmonic balancers I have. What is the best replacement?

as soon as I finish shoveling a path to it...

Thanks

Looking good...

Okay...it's been a LONG time since I've checked compression...let's see if I remember correctly... let the compression gauge needle jump 4x's I remember something about '20'...is it all cylinders within 20#'s of each other, or 20% of each other, or does '20' not factor in at all...

Are you talking engine AND tranny? If so, $400 is reasonable w rebuild documentation

A 21 BARREL CARB?!? That musta been a tuning nightmare!...jk

I think I paid $40 for the old style aluminum 1bbl intake...cast iron 1bbl intakes are CHEAP!...often free

Okay....I'm trying but I can't find any on ebay... or anywhere

I drove an older Toyota truck from TX to CT w/ cruise control + manual tranny. It did NOT have a clutch kickoff, brake only.

It's amazing to me how many people confuse "rust covered" with "gold plated"...but anything is worth what someone will pay...

Too much for a "don't know" situation....kinda rusty too

Serj22 that's a pretty sweet 4dr!

I can't think of a way without taking it off and not "trashing" originality. I brazed mine, but that wouldn't be viable for you.

I had Ignitor "1" in my car. It uses the ballast resistor. The installition instructions came with it though. Ran great...WHILE IT WORKED! Just up and quit after 5 months. Pertronix sent a replacement, but I'm not sure if I'll install it or not. I may just stick with points.

Ditto

21 MPG on the gas :) 400 MPG on the oil :(

Oven cleaner and wire brushes do a good job

WOW!...I woulda kept that car!

Interesting reading, I also thought a front sway bar would be added first. I would like to improve handling in my 72 Valiant. Not for performance, more for like evasive maneuvers. Does anyone know where I can read up on this?

Bill, Why do you always start threads that make me want to spend money?
