Yeah thats why I offered at a low price keeping mind the work it needed. It doesn't need a heater core. I was able to do that myself. I did the front end on my Charger but the money I saved by doing it myself I didn't find it worth the hassle. It was a lot of work especially since it was a first...

I'm thinking of stopping trying to sell my 65 Valiant after lots of calls but no sales even after lowering the price so far down I couldn't believe it. I know it's not a Barracuda or even a V8 2 Door Signet. But it would be nice brought back to what it was once. The coolest thing to me was that...

Well I'm finally ready to sell my 1965 Valiant 200. I've been busy working on my 99 Dakota R/T and don't have time or know how to properly fix this Valiant. It has a Bill of Sale only. It is currently registered and insured. Originally sold at Bill Balentine Motors Inc, in Anderson, SC. Original...

I'm not putting this up for sale yet. Just want some advice. I'm going to sell my 1965 Plymouth Valiant 200 4 door. I've put a good bit of money into. I'm sure more than I will ever get out of it and you can't even tell. It needs a lot of rust repair. Floor pans being the most important which I...

It doesn't back fire or idle down, it just straight up quits running. Like someone turned it off. I have the Accel coil on there. It's not but maybe a year or two old. It's got a what I still consider a new engine harness even though it's a couple years old from Year One. The wires, cap, rotor...

On this 65 Valiant 170 I've got. It starts up easy and idles good. It's got the most vacuum I can get out of it for it's wear and tear. It's between 16-18 in-hg at idle. It appears the motor has some miles on it but it idles smooth and no unusual noises. All electronics have been gone through...

I'm debating changing the oil pan gasket on my 65 Valiant 170 because it's really nasty. I've already changed, intake/exhaust manifold gaskets, valve cover gasket, timing cover gasket, oil pump gasket. I've got the factory manual and it says you have to remove the center link and raise the...

Yeah I've got the factory manual. If you try to do it the way it says I can't do or see how it's possible to get everything connected and disconnected through the small park cover allen head screw. You have no idea if you're touching the lock spring or not so you may as well unbolt the cover to...

Yeah I knew all that in the link provided. Your suppose to remove the allen head screw on the cover and stick a screw driver in to release that spring but the problem is since you can't tell what your hitting with the screw driver you don't know if it's in or not. It might even be easier to...

I finally tackled the parking lock cable leak on my 1965 Valiant 170/Column Shift 904. Apparently the reason why the factory procedure didn't work for removing the cable was because there was nothing ever hooked up inside the parking lock cover. I had to remove the cover to see how to get the...

Among other things I'm going to attempt to tackle this 65 Valiant transmission leak I have tomorrow. I've narrowed it down to the parking cable cover and possibly the parking cable o-ring. As well as the pan gasket. The pan gasket is straightforward. I have the factory 65 Plymouth service manual...

I took the one signal assembly apart tonight that had the broken wires on it. I now see the spring. I had a universal 1157 socket that was similar to this one but it didn't have the notch on the side of the contact button to keep it locked in place and it had the springs under each contact. So...

I need a new gas cap for my 65 Valiant. I don't think there is a new aftermarket one available that actually fits the car. I've seen a lot of Valiant with the old aftermarket Stant S curve chrome caps. But I notice there are several of those old part numbers that look identical depending on...

Looks I will have to get new sockets for mine. I got one new bulb in and the spring somewhat "springing". The contacts don't appear to be burned. Of course I got the one fixed that is already working on my 65 Valiant. The other spare I have that I now broke is the one I really needed. It's just...

Is there a spring under the contacts? I know I took my original apart a long time ago and then it never worked again. I can't remember if it actually had a spring under the two contact wires or not. On these used ones I got on ebay I cut back some of the rubber insulation covering the wires...
