Yep. Unfortunately life and school got in the way. I've done brakes and got her running and driving but now I need to get shifter right so I can get her tagged for short trips to the dollar general, haha. Odds and ends don't stop when life starts a new direction

Update...I added a pic and short video to show the linkage under hood and for any help on where to put the wavy washers.

i can barely tap the shifter on 3/tree 65 valiant 225 and it will fall out of gear. I've looked at linkage under hood and can't see where it's slipping or anything odd. I'm guessing it's in the column but I can't seem to figure out how to remove the middle portion to see if something is...

1965 valiant in pegram, tn (west Nashville). Looking for smarter people than me to help with timing and carb.

It is a 3/tree and is during shift and acceleration. It is new/rebuilt and I put it on and followed the instructions as best I could to set correctly. It is now also doing when I out throttle 1/4 way down in first after start. Thnx guys for replies. I sure missed this place.

im back after a year of school and trying to piddle on the valiant. 1965 Plymouth valiant with super 225. New gas tank, new lines, rebuilt carb, timed (so I think correctly ) ignition etc. problem is when I'm shifting from 2nd to third it bogs down and sputters then if it's feathered a little...

I live in the Nashville TN area and have some repairs that i would love for someone more experienced take a look at and give me an estimate. Mainly tranny stuff and some wheels/parts buying info, but any and all advice would be appreciated. Feel free to IM me or reply here. Thanks, stoney

Yeah i saw a lot of parts go in the dumpster. My little 65 valiant could have benefited from their generosity

Wow, thanks for the info. My only issue right now with the 3/column is that it will not stay in 2nd. Falls out and when clutching it bumps hard at the end of the pedal. She's just a project tinker and runs and drives so im trying to stay on low dollar side.

Im leaving the engine. Im not great with transmissions and the interiors of them, thats why i was asking what number would be direct fit and bolt and go. Love an old wagon.

I have a 65 Valiant with /6 225, 3 speed on column. I wanted to ask what tranny would be a direct swap to an automatic.

My Rosey is a 65 valiant with a super 225 and a three speed tranny. Problem is that when i am shifting from 1st up to 2nd, the gear lever will just call out of gear. Nany ideas fo an affordable solution to this issue?

Ok so there is a gasket that goes between the block and the metal plate?

Thnx. Ive got red silicone sealant and plan on draining radiator and removing to replace pump. Ill clean the flat surface and put on the gasket and hope all goes well. Thnx so much for the info.

Getting ready to replace the water pump and i have a replacement pump that has a metal plate attached with a gasket sandwhiched in between with plastic holders. My question is this...when replacing the pump do i just need to put sealant on the block where the pump attaches or do i need to...

Yeah, sorry bout that. 1965 plymouth valiant /6 235 manual.

Thanks guys. I went to start her the other day and the starte is burned out (i believe). I think the solenoid on the starter is shot. Wouldnt cross over and jump start. Just kind of sizzled when i turned key over. Im gonna have to get a new starter before i can do anything else. Thnx again

Up to what year 225 would be a direct replacement?

Thnx all. So i took a look at the dist again and turned over the engine. I think a small part of the issue is the points cam is wroe down. There are only small "humps" not sharp ridges left and i think that they arent even wore downevenly. Can the points cam be removed and replaced?

Its a new carb. Not a holley. I plan on replacing plugs again i had lots of touble several months ago getting it to fire and run...180 out, etc, timing back fire. New cap and button. I am oing to replace the fuel filter again and reblow outthe lines. New tank also. Thanks for the help...

As the post says, i can cruise in second without issues. Shift to third and it boggs down. Does that sound like plugs, fuel filt, carb adjustment, etc ? New carb, runs and idles fine. Thnx guys

So i think i got it repaired to driveable quality. On the column under the hood there was a cap tat was slid down about 3/4 inch. I pushed the cap and the "plastic bearing" back up and redrilled hoes to place set screws and it doesnt fall out of second and is stiffer. Thnx guys.

Should i take the whole column out to reverse the bearings or put in the wavy washers?

are you talking about the linkage in the column itself or on the other side of the firewall in the engine compartment?

Ok, i posted a couple times before and now i need some more help and info. 1965 valiant slant 6 with three speed coulmn. The issue is that when im in second gear the shifter just falls out of second into neutral. I have to hold it in second (up) for it to stay. I have removed the steering...

Ok, so is there a year of rear end swaps that will bolt in or use leaf spring hangers for my 65 valiant? Want to go with bigger bolt pattern for new wheels. Seems that may be cheaper than buying small bolt wheels. I dont want rally wheels. Pretty muchstuck, huh?

I looked in the sticky but didnt see anything. Can anyone tell me why the pload pics function is grayed out and wont let me post any photos to my posts?

Ok, so ive looked at my manual and attempted to locate all the bolts but i havent started removing anything yet because i dont want to get into it and screw something up. 1) do. Need to remove the bumper to get the fenders off 2) are the fenders pinch welded to anything I will try to load...

Ok, so I finally was able to get somebody to give me another pair of eyes and check out the loose shifter on my 65 valiant /6 3 on a tree. So, here's the findings. when I move the shifter up and down the connectors and the shifting linkages all move correctly. they are tight and move with the...

Yeah, I'm interested also if they would fit 65 Valiant. Please pm w/ shipping to 37143. thnx
