My 1964 Valiant needs a master cylinder rebuild. When I took it out for the summer and checked all levels, I noticed my reservoir was basically empty. Hadn't touched the pedal so refilled. No leakage evidenced at the four corners. The firewall paint has been compromised, though no fluid...

Buddy sent this link. I know it's maybe not in the right section, but... $9,995 · 1962 PLYMOUTH VALIANT 2 DR POST That's $7k US. SSD, it's in your hood!

Hey all: I know this maybe belongs under the rad section, but feel more people will see it here. Any one know what rads will fit, i.e. what years , in my '64 Valiant w/ slant six, auto? TIA Dan

Hi, let's see if I can include everything pertinent. '64 Valiant, 225, 1bbl Carter I'm quite sure, but not near car now. The car will slowly start to overheat on longer (+10 miles) drives. People talk about setting the mixture, and that overheating can be caused by too lean a mixture. How is...

So here are follow-up pics of my old gal's new boots. She seems to like them! Dan

So I finally got some 14" SBP steelies for my '64 Valiant 'vert. They are 4.5" wide. After reading most everything on FABO, I've decided to get 205/70/14 tires. The chart at the tire shop says 5" width wheels are needed for the 205s, I'm thinking that, based on other FABO members, it shouldn't...

Hi all: Does anyone know what years and models, if any, used 5X4 15" rims, I'm in the country a lot and pass many small older wrecking yards, and may see something that would work on my '64 Signet, that now has 13" rims, and needs tires! TIA Dan

My plastic rear window is cracked on my '64 Signet. I've had some telephone quotes, very expensive, $300-350 just to replace the window...ouch! One place seemed more willing and reasonable, saying if I took it out myself the price would come in more around $150, still not cheap. So, I'm...

Hi y'all: So I'm having an issue with finding wiper refills for my '64 Val, I've got the ANCO stainless steel w/ the red detent. This may be a given, I don't know. I searched archives and somehow figured the ANCO 12-13 or 11-13 were the ticket, apparently not, an old timer at the best local...

Saw this in Kijiji in Alberta. Looks pretty clean, just thought I'd post it, not my car or anything. Cheers. http://calgary.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-classic-cars-1964-Dodge-Dart-Coupe-W0QQAdIdZ286352181

Hey y'all: My brother got me the Hollander #s for 14" SBP rims, it was last year and I'm a bit disorganized, but I think they are 560-716 for the 4.5", 560-717 for the 5.5"s. I think these are for the steelies. Anybody have the #s for rallye rims? TIA Dan

Hi y'all: I had a deja vu last week when I set my rocker lash. Back about 1969-1970, Mr Rouse's auto shop class, there was a slant on a test bed, I had to set the valves on it after they were placed out of adjustment. Holding the 7/16th(?) wrench on a moving rocker....I knew I'd done it before...

Hi: So I've just got my Chrysler electronic ignition installed....but that's not what this post is about. Took a while to finally get spark, and while messing around with trying different things, the starter started to act up, as in it would only turn over "randomly" on the key , sometimes yes...

Good Day: I'm sure it's in the archives, but I couldn't find the search function. What amperage relay is required for headlights? I've got some 20A and 30A, will the 20A be OK or should I use the 30A? 1964 Valiant. TIA Dan

Hey y'all: So my Valiant's 46yo plastic rear window has cracked in a bunch of places, tried to bend it when it was only about 38 degrees. It didn't like that. I've got 2 quotes of.....$300 to replace the window, seems kind of steep to me. I've seen in this, or possibly another forum, someone...

Hey Y'all: I'm thinking that I need a choke pull-off for my '64 225 slant, I think it's a Carter BBS, I've got a part # for a Blue Streak Canadian brand, CPA58, any other crossover numbers for this part? Thx Dan:cheers:

Hey y'all: I've got the back seat out on my '64 Val vert, rear windows need to be freed up, and need fluid in my pump, put some fluid in and it will now raise and lower, but some funky sounds from the pump as it loads up with different workloads in the R+L process. My question is.....should the...

Hey Y'all: Better get a beer, sit down and get comfy, this is a long post! So I'm thinking that the newly installed 3 wire alternator is working properly, car runs with battery cable disconnected etc., good voltage reading. So I figured it was safe to install my scavenged mid '70s D-100 5pin...

So... I put a 2 field wire squareback alternator with electronic regulator into my '64 Valiant, originally a 1 wire with mechanical regulator. I ran the heavy gauge output to the starter relay, no problem. Alternator is grounded through its housing, plus I put a second ground from the engine to...

Hey Y'all: So I picked up an electronic slant6 ignition system out of an early '80s vintage D-100? pickup, plus, what I think is referred to as a squareback Chryco alternator with solid state regulator. I'm going to install these into my '64 Valiant. Some of the wiring upgrades to do one or the...

This may already be posted! I'm new here, and am just sorting out how to post, let's see if this goes through as a repeat, or if it goes through at all. Dan

I'm going to try to post pics of my new Valiant, let's see if I can figure this out! Dan

Hey y'all: So my new to me '64 225 was overheating, car was supposed to be in good shape when I bought it, went for a short spin in the 'hood, looked down at the T gauge, it was pegged. So I went through the usual steps to fix it, easy things first, good fluid level, put in new thermostat...

Hey y'all: Just bought a '64 Signet convertible, 225, pb auto, I'm the 3rd owner. Great site to learn what I need to know. I'll be needing new tires, so will probably upgrade to 14". Hers's what I need to know right now! Do the rear windows roll down, mine only go down about 1 turn on the...
