1974 Plymouth Valiant Scamp - Restoration is a strong word
Oh look, shiny copper coming off the alternator feed!
I didn't get pics under the car, but I got the trans shift selector seal and the tail shaft seal replaced. So far, so good. I got another new power steering shaft seal in and replaced, that seems to be holding too.
The air cleaner was rattling while the engine was idling, so I decided to gut the moving parts. I'm in Phoenix and I'm missing the heat stove section anyway.
The thermostat housing kept leaking on me. After a couple of gaskets and sealer attempts, I placed the housing on my phone (carefully) and could see a 3mm gap on side, so I bought a replacement, which seems to have sealed much better.
While doing the trans seals, I replaced 4 of the plastic bushings/grommets on the shift linkage. I still need to replace 2 more, but the shifter feels sooooo much better already.
Friday is my AZ MVD inspection. If all goes well, the car will be registered and legal by this weekend.
