No buyers for my '65 Valiant convertible here in Mexico, so i plan to drive it back to California next week. So far changed the oil/filter and air filter. Tomorrow will replace the heater hoses, fuel filter. Today purchased a spare fan belt, a used 14 inch tire for a spare (have all new rubber...

I believe I have used brake fluid in the past for honing lifter bores and maybe cylinders. Since I believe brake fluid may soften the RustOleum red primer I used on the cylinder block, I am looking for some other lubricant. Thank you.

I wonder what my '65 window sticker would have looked like? Please post if you have the original. Thank you.

I began taking High School Auto Shop as a junior in 1972. Circa 1995, I was re-building a small carburetor belonging to a 1984-84 Dodge Caravan 2.2 liter four-cylinder for a customer of my then mobile auto repair. Every one knows to be very careful about insuring nothing falls inside the intake...

Good ole days.

Found a couple of Allen head screws in my loose stash that have little rubber sheaths covering the threads. Don't know if they came off my ABody or BBody or something else.

At minute 2:30 you will see a vehicle with two carburetors, a one barrel and a four barrel on the same engine! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_Ye3mTMr30

Purchase the '65 Valiant Signet convertible 13 or 14 years ago now, and it still sits waiting for some attention. It could not even be moved around the yard a few months ago, when I found the brake pedal hit the floorboard and the master cylinder was empty. So I performed a fairly complete...

Our '65 Plymouth Valiant Signet Convertible was purchased June 18, 2008 almost 14 years ago! I found Denise, the previous owner on Linkedin and this was her message: "Oh my gosh - do you still have "my" car?? I miss her terribly!"

Still has all his wits about him.

Early Valiants were Valiants, plain and simple. 1960 Valiant V-200: Please don't call it a Plymouth!

My '65 Valiant Signet V-8 currently has 10 inch front drums and 9 inch rear drums. A previous owner swapped in the current 7 1/4 inch rear end from a '74 Dodge. I was wondering what my vehicle originally must have had factory installed for rear drums 9 or 10 inch? And then the question in the...

Anyone knows what this might fit? It is metal (pretty heavy) and does not have a set screw, but the hole is threaded. Thank you.

When I turn off the ignition, as the motor comes to a complete stop from idle, I can hear a strange very brief whoosh of something like compressed air. Kinda like a loud wheeze, it's hard to put into words. The 1980 long-block motor received a stock rebuild about ten years ago and only has a...

Back in the 70's I ran autocross one day at the Salinas Airport in my four-speed '65 bracket racer. A bystander told me I needed wider front tires, being the fact he observed the 15 inch VW beetle tires were in one place, while the rims were in another place on the turns. I came in last place...

Our '65 Formula S has a trunk divider made from 1/2" plywood that measures roughly 46" by 18".

Found this on my '65 Barracuda where a previous owner swapped in a later 8 3/4 open differential. If it's factory, what was it used for? If not, I wonder what it's doing here? Thank you. (also posted on FBBO).

No computers, no employees at Logan Auto Parts in La Paz, BCS, Mexico. I only deal with the owner (nobody else there) who did not even ask what make and model I was working on. I just handed him the front wheel bearings and seals and a single point distributor from the '65 Barracuda. It only...

Going to re-install the starter soon and I got to thinking, would grease just fly off the teeth if it was lubricated, making the effort a waste of time and just making a mess of things?

The sticky foil-type aftermarket stuff is not very "thick" and it seems it would fit underneath the factory yellow-type insulation that is also available to purchase in the marketplace. Doubling the barrier seems like a win-win situation (unless I am missing something here).

Just found an air shock "T" fill valve (150 max, 25 min air pressure) that must have been loose in the trunk of my '65 Formula S when purchased about ten years ago. They are all made from plastic now.

Made for my '72 Satellite. Driver might want to use a full face helmet, just in case of collision with such things.

Now that the '65 Formula S is newly painted and hood/fenders aligned, it's almost time to reinstall the motor and 904 transmission. Do I need to remove the hood (which I usually do) to install the motor or the motor/transmission? Thank you. (just have the everyday cherry picker and jack...

1965 Formula S automatic is going to be put back together during the following months. Don't know how this little spring ended up on the floor and not tagged/bagged. All I know is it has a little red paint on it and one hook has rusted off.

This is real Mopar detective work! The question is: "Has this motor ever been removed from the engine bay since new?" What do we look for? How can we be sure of our findings without a complete teardown? Let's begin with my "daily driver" 1965 Signet 273 auto convertible (no A/C, no P/B, no P/S...

I gave the paint mixer all the paint codes (W) and stuff for the '65 Formula One factory white but not a piece from the vehicle (the factory color is a little creamy-slightly vomity if you ask me). What I got was a brighter white as shown in the ash receiver (don't know if it shows it the...

Good stuff, as usual:
