    My Valiant project

I have my Christmas present to myself waiting on warmer weather. It is an Offy valve cover and Super Six set up waiting to go on. The carb is...

    Time to get started.

    Looking good. Your plug wire problem was just the opposite of mine. NAPA only had the booted ones. Parts plus had a set that was about a foot to long on each cable so I grabbed the NAPA set and cut off the boot. On your tunes I got a Restrosound stereo f/Crutchfield that has adjustable shafts...

    Well I pulled the plugs today. They were coated with a white deposit. Most of the ground straps has a brown color to the deposits. I don't know what they were running for fuel but it laid down some heavy deposits. I put in new plugs and will get a reading off of them. I changed out rotor and...

    My Valiant project

    Well I got the wheels and tires put on. I ended up putting 225 Coopers on back as the tire dealer didn't have any 205's to match the 235 Radial TA's. Now I have 205/225matching tires all around. I did alot of cleaning and shining. Drove 180 miles and heard a ticking from rear end checked and the...

    My Valiant project

    Yes a brougham that's optioned out. The plan is to tune it up, put synthetics in it and see what kind of gas mileage I can get. A kind of modern rod that gets a little gas mileage. The price of diesel is eating me up. I guy might as well be different going down the highway.

    Here are the pictures from the ad for the 1975 Valiant I picked up. I guess you could call these the before pictures. It has 130,000 on it and is rust free. The 1st thing is going to be change all the fluids, tune up and look everything over. Then I'm going to put wheels and tires on it as you...

    New Thread-to Be Or Not To Be?

    I was looking for a 70's Dodge pick up to lower and play with. I found a 1978 short box Club Cab w/80,000 miles on it in like new condition. Everything is stock with the smog pump still hooked up. Needless to say it is to cherry to mess with as it is a true survivor. Now the 1975 Valiant I just...
