Hey guys, trying to get the interior in order. I'm looking for a manual trans wiper/headlight trim bezel. For a 1964 Valiant. Let me know if you've got one for sale. Thanks!

I bought a 225 not long ago with a hole in the timing chain cover because the sloppy chain wore through it.

They're getting clever, it has awareness that it raised a thread from the dead. :rolleyes:

Looking for an A833OD Slant bellhousing for an A/F body.

? Hey YY1, your inbox is full.

I appreciate the responses guys, this is a 64 Valiant.

I'm looking for a Slant 6 A833OD swap out of an A/F body preferably in the Alabama/Tennesee/Georgia area. I'm hoping to find a completish swap, bellhousing, trans, rods, z bar/fork, etc if at all possible. Thanks!

Maybe they had aspirations of drag racing, haha. The guy had a straight axle front end he was trying to get me to take home, too. I really need to adjust the torsion bars back down, I'm not ready to fight the rusty lower control arms yet though.

I appreciate it! I'm tracking that, I just thought I might be missing something on the carburetor end. I'm good to go, over thinking it.

While trying to find TDC on the engine I noticed the rotor wasn't spinning. Pulled the distributor and the drive gear is split in half.. could be why it was parked in 1989, but I had another distributor on hand and dropped it in. Installed a radiator from my 66, re-flared the crimped...

Thanks, I realize the choke assembly is available online with the rod but I wasn't sure about the bracket on the choke shaft on my carburetor. I also didn't realize that the assembly is the same on both a BBS and a Holley 1920, and I have a few laying around from some Holley setups.

The carburetor is rebuilt. What am I missing on this BBS from the choke assembly? I've seen some photos (as well as graphics in the rebuild kit) of a triangular bracket attached to the shaft with a spring, but that bracket is different than what's on this particular carburetor.

As bad as it looks, the motor isn't stuck fortunately. The block casting # is 63-66, so that's likely original. The head has some remnants of blue paint, so likely replaced at some point. Someone put some work into this thing (brake and rear end upgrade) long ago before it was left to rot under...

Maintaining the theme of cheap junk, here's some crusty and hacked wiring to contend with. The cap was unclipped but sitting on top of the distributor, however the rotor has been sitting on the valve cover for many years. Living in a small rural town for the last 2 years has been great, but...

Regarding the overtightened carb bolts?
