    Help! What's going on down there?

    I figured I'd post this in here since this is a drivetrain part of the forum so here goes: I have a 1976 Plymouth Valiant slant 6 A904 tranny that ran great up to April 4th. My wife and I were on our way to the Hoover Dam when I noticed something peculiar going on with my car. While I was...

    Perhaps she's not a goner after all..

    Following encouragement from my brother-in-law on the east coast who has a '75 Plymouth Valiant, I removed the driveshaft out of my Valiant and sure enough, the output shaft freely spun when it was put in drive and reverse. The driveshaft is in normal condition as well. The spline looks...

    She's a Goner.

    Hey guys, Want to know why I haven't been on this forum in months? Other than the fact my computer crapped the bed on me and the fact I don't have the extra money to go out and buy another one, my Plymouth was (I typed IS 1st..=/) running perfect. I had the best of intentions for this car...

    I no longer f*in hate my car.

    I hate myself instead. I was able to sell one of my basses for a lot more than I expected to get, so I bought a new ICU and ballast resistor. Whatd'ya know? She fired right up - no crankie crankie or anything. Seriously to everyone who posted on my "I f*kin hate this car" thread, I thank you...

    I f*in hate this car.

    Last week was supposed to be the week where I bought the EFI conversion for my 76 Valiant. Well my wife's Volvo had other plans and I ended up spending the money that I was going to use for the EFI conversion kit on her car. So I figured waiting 2 more weeks to get the kit wouldn't hurt it since...

    Are our Slants "Unsafe"?

    I keep hearing about how "safe" new cars are and I saw a crash test of a 1959 Chevy Bel Air vs. a new Chevy Malibu. I just have a real hard time believing that a Chrysler Newport isn't as safe as a Scion xB. What would you rather get T-Boned in? I'm picking the Newport.

    I've had it with this car.

    You know...I was thinking about transporting this Valiant back to Rhode Island with me next June...And then I thought about how unreliable carburetors are up north, etc... Anyways that's not the point. The point is I'm enraged. The Goddamn $%^&*^ing car is doing the same crap it was doing...

    My car's pissing me off.

    So after the whole smog fiasco, I had to re-tune my carburetor. Well now she really doesn't want to start up after sitting overnight. Here's what happens: 1st crank : Starts right up and dies. 2nd crank: Crankie,crankie,crankie,crankie,etc. 3rd crank: Sometimes it starts right up...

    My Slant's Getting Smogged Today.

    It's pretty funny how I have mild anxiety about taking my car to get smogged. I've been doing A LOT of reading about the slant six engine, mainly from SlantSixDan's links and my 1976 Service Manual. I've given her a full tune up, adjusted the rocker arms. I have that gut feeling that the float...

    It's that time of the month for my car.

    Yes my car really is like a woman...It's ridiculous...lol Anyways she's been sitting at the K-Mart parking lot for the past 2 days because I can't get her running. I tried getting her to start when I got out of work on Saturday and it just cranks and cranks....No catching at all... The same...

    Instrument Cluster Question

    Hey guys, I've had my 1976 Plymouth Valiant for over a year now as my daily driver and love it. Today I finally decided to address the faulty speedometer and I removed the cluster. However I can't get the cluster apart because it's being caught up on the wiper and headlight relay and I REALLY...
