Glamour Shots.. '62 Valiant Wagon
2/23/23:
I worked on cleaning up and painting some under hood things.
Had to remove most of the passenger side engine components and engine bay components on the same side to shimmy the Valve cover on and off to fix it's leak. Quite tricky on the '60-'62 Models with the Heater core box hanging over the valve cover.
Got the Coil Bracket detailed and clean - Mounting bolts were just greasy and grimy - so much oil that they never really surface rusted :-)
Got the Horns and Alternator Case Degrimed and blasted clean ready for paint.
- Will also be adding a proper set of NOS MoPar Wires - incorrect date code from the '80's but better than the old parts store garbage that was on there.
Will be replacing the Spark Plug O ring seals as well! ad sourced the Proper 1 groove alternator pulley to replace the ubiquitous parts store double pulley on the remanufactured alternators.
