sorry about that. I had to post this from my phone since I'm in the process of moving and I already shipped back my computer...>< I'm asking $600 for it. Yeah I posted it in a hurry, sorry. The car is in Las Vegas, NV

Up for sale is a sweet, unique, rust and rot free 1976 Plymouth Valiant. I've had her for almost 2 years and I replaced numerous parts on her such as: -New Holley Carburetor -Front disc brake conversion with new rear brakes. -New interior carpet -New balljoints -"Dog Dish" rims It has a slant...

Thanks for letting the guys know about the other post I had. There was no way that shaft was that far out before because I DEFINITELY would've noticed it. And I also agree with you about there being no problem in the driveshaft department, it was just my brother in law swore up and down that the...

Ah yes that might be helpful. This is for my own car, my 1976 Valiant, automatic, a904, column shift. I only mentioned my brother in law because he has a 75 Valiant and he was trying to encourage me to at least go out and take a look at the car...lol My car doesn't try to move at all. There's...

I'm trying to get pictures on here lol...It's a process since I no longer have a computer. I guess what I'm trying to say is I instantaneously freaked out and thought horrific things happened inside of the transmission and thought the car was a goner so she sat in my garage untouched since...

I figured I'd post this in here since this is a drivetrain part of the forum so here goes: I have a 1976 Plymouth Valiant slant 6 A904 tranny that ran great up to April 4th. My wife and I were on our way to the Hoover Dam when I noticed something peculiar going on with my car. While I was...

Following encouragement from my brother-in-law on the east coast who has a '75 Plymouth Valiant, I removed the driveshaft out of my Valiant and sure enough, the output shaft freely spun when it was put in drive and reverse. The driveshaft is in normal condition as well. The spline looks...

Ironic I was the threadstarter of this and my slant saved my life as its forgiving steering was my saving grace from hitting the Jersey Barriers and flipping it. If I was in a new car, I would've flipped the car into oncomming traffic and surely be dead.

And yes while I am aware that this vehicle is pretty easily replacible, the memories my wife and I have shared in it make it irreplacible.

Yeah you'd think that man.See things are so different out here in Nevada - They're a "No-Fault" state and trust me I got a lawyer. I was rear ended on Friday and had a lawyer by Monday. This is absolutely killing me. I have so much sentimental value tied to this car as I will show you with some...

I have a mini update: I got a call from my lawyer's assistant today and she told me the reason why it's taking so long for them to send an adjuster out is because the insurance company is refusing to take responsibility for the claim because the moronic driver FINALLY made a statement (as of...

Heh, wish I could afford to find another tranny AND have the money to have it installed. Realistically man, I can't even afford to buy a $200 laptop so even though I'm sure replacing the tranny on this car is cake when you've got a lift and the right tools, it's a no can do out here in Vegas. My...

Hey guys, Want to know why I haven't been on this forum in months? Other than the fact my computer crapped the bed on me and the fact I don't have the extra money to go out and buy another one, my Plymouth was (I typed IS 1st..=/) running perfect. I had the best of intentions for this car...

Yeah it does lol. Funny you should mention computer repairs...I know Mac laptops from MacBooks, iBooks and especially PowerBooks. I've smashed up a couple of mine out of frustration back in the day... :wack: The irony is I'm extremely patient with my wife. And it was oh so easy pulling off the...

Huh, so that's what a points distributor looks like! What's that silver cylindrical thingy by the rotor?
