1966 Factory V8 Valiant Signet Restoration For My Other Daughter
The Schrader valve does come out but it may take persuasion. Got this kit from O’Rileys. Used the install tool as the punch to knock the old one out. Bead blasted the housing, a bit of AC oil and it is a tight seal now.
Got the moulded 90 degree heater hose. I ended up only having one of my dual wire clamps left plus this LS swap hose the walls are much heavier than any hose I have used so my go to in stock clamps are a bit undersized. Need to order a new supply Monday. For now I uses fugly worm clamps.
Even super hero’s have bad days. These Edelbrock Aluminum parts are really crappy metal. Start a bolt cross threaded once and it’s over. AC brace support hole repaired.
All hoses, lines, radiator, shroud, etc tight. Fill it with fluids and time to fire it up tomorrow.
