New purchase 68 Valiant

[MrJLR]

She made it home even though I realized half way in a 3 hour drive she wasn't charging much or at all. Looks like I'm gonna have to go through its wiring seems a little butchered and theres a few immediate problems to deal with but is a great foundation especially for what I paid. Overall very happy with its first journey.

Performance wise it needs gears the 360/380 hp create engine with manual shift 2800 stall 727. Needs to drive in 2nd through town speedso. Anything under 30 mph is a must to down shift and found my self down shifting at 35 mph. Engine is a little soft under 2000 rpm. Think it has 2.94 would like to step it up 3.91.

How far home was your first drive in her?
Awesome feeling bring them to their new home!
Congratulations!

Nice find. That motor/trans combo will really be nice with 3.91s.
