I've got a 64 Valiant and am wondering if the sending unit registers full at high resistance or low resistance and what ohm rating gage it requires. Any input is greatly appreciated.

Goddammit boy it's a Mopar. Just run it.

That would be a Cicle Jerks sticker in the back window of the '64 Valiant.

...for the most part. We've got a couple of minor interior issues to iron out, double check fluid levels and the like, maybe a little carb adjustment, and we're ready to roll. I'll get plates on her this week and give her a good shake down before we drive to Columbus for the Nationals next...

Purchased the car and PO assured me a title existed - which turned out not to be the case. We're just about done with the rebuild and I need to get registered. Any help would be appreciated.

...to being ready to drive. We still have to install the exhaust, interior, and glass. It's a foot race, gotta be done in time to drive to the Nats in Columbus.

All of the stuff is at the upholsterer's place right now, to which I don't have easy access. I did talk to him a minute ago and he explained that the covers for the backs were inches shorter than they need to be, and the covers for the seats did not reach the backs. I've got a call in to...

I've got to talk to my upholstery guy about how far short the material is. I'll definitely suggest he warm it up.

They are PUI brand, do they have a reputation for poor fit?

I'm restoring a '64 Valiant and have '65 Dart bucket seat cores. I bought on Ebay what was supposed to be '64 Valiant upholstery and it does not fit the Dart cores. Would the bucket seat cores between the two years / models have been different? Also, I'm having trouble finding upholstery for...

I've got a 64 Valiant and need a description or (preferably) photos of how the corner front bumper brackets mount on the fenders. I've got to believe there is some combination of hard and soft washers to prevent the brackets from gouging the paint. As always, any help is appreciated.

This is Mopar red from Mancini. It did take multiple coats to cover well but (judging by the headache it gave me) it's good paint.

Damn that's funny.

We got a ton of work done this weekend. Between Friday night and Saturday we got the entire car blocked out in 400 grit and then re-masked the car at the radius blends between the body and the door jambs, etc. Sunday the car was wiped down with wax and grease remover (four times at least) then...

I've seen reproduction door / trunk locks for '66 Valiants and up, but have yet to find any for my '64. Any ideas as to what the difference is? The only locks I've been able to find listed for a '64 are $300 NOS. A bit pricey for me. Any suggestions for another source?
