    Trying to i.d. relay(?)

    I need to spend some quality time with the car tonight. I did check connections with my test light and had bright light to the starter and relay. But without a meter I have no idea what voltage is getting where.

    Trying to i.d. relay(?)

    So to answer the first response I got, yes, one wire on top and one on bottom. Judging by the responses I would say my voltage regulator is whats making noise. So could that have created the original problem of the car just going completely dead and I mean it was cranking full steam and then...

    Trying to i.d. relay(?)

    Yeah its the 64. I need to look at it more closely tonight. I was in a rush and mad last night, still am a little. Wifes van got window bashed out and purse stolen. Tried to get the car running so I could drive it and she could drive my truck.

    Trying to i.d. relay(?)

    Last night I tried to fire up the Valiant and it cranked for a bit then just stopped. I hooked up my battery charger and tried again and I get this weird clicking/whinning noise from what I think is a relay. Its not the starter relay as Ive searched through posts here to identify that. The part...

    strange trans issue

    Over the last months of warm weather my old Valiant developed an intermitant problem. Sometimes when stopped at a stop sign or light the trans would act like its popping out of gear. If I rev the engine a little it goes back into gear or if I dont notice and go to take off it snaps into gear...

    Stopped driving the Valiant just in time

    About a week ago I bought an old S10 Blazer to drive in the nasty weather and last night got rear ended. After getting things written up and moving on I thought "Good thing I wasnt in the Valiant". Heck of alot easier getting parts for an S10 and Im sure the insurance company wouldve totaled the...

    barely blows heat

    I have a 63 Valiant and the heater heats up and I can hear the blower motor running but the heat doesnt come out of the vents very fast. The p.o. said theres only one speed for heat but when I turn the switch it seems like it has two speeds. Is it only one speed and is there a way to get it to...

    Beloit Autorama

    Its long over now but thats not the case at all. At least now anyways. Hot rods and customs dominate it but theres still a good selection of muscle wether it be C***y, F**d or Mopars. Ive never entered a show to bring home a trophy. I go to talk to people with the same or like interest. This...

    Would you daily drive an early A?

    My Valiant is my dd. Has been since I bought it in January. Sun, rain and snow. Just make sure you at least give the underside a rinse when you can through the winter

    trailer hitch for a early dart

    I did a little searching here awhile ago and found a post stating that a jeep hitch will fit. Poster said measure between the frame rails of the car and head to the local you pull.

    looking for transmission shops in il ?

    B & C in Machesney Park IL is good as well as Thompsons in Roscoe. Both do daily driver work as well as race stuff. Not exactly in the burbs but worth the drive out this way in my oppinion, for whats its worth.

    miss by condenser?

    Well Ive had it in mind to replace the points with an electronic conversion so I guess Ill start there. Its a good excuse to do it. :D

    miss by condenser?

    Crap. Its on the outside. What does the noise suppresser do? So if that isnt the issue, what would cause the idle/low speed miss?

    miss by condenser?

    Today my Valiant started missing at idle and low speeds. When I got home and checked under the hood I saw the ignition condenser dangling from its wire. As soon as I touched it the wire broke right at the condenser. Would that dangling condenser with its broken wire be the origin of my miss?

    gas spilling-different than others

    Still going with possessed:twisted: Jk. I was thinking it was do to expansion but didnt think it would expand that much. It was full but not over full. Learned that lesson already.

    gas spilling-different than others

    I did a search first and found some gas spillage threads but none like my issue. I filled my Valiant Friday and parked it in the driveway like usual. Went for dinner in the wifes van and when we got home I noticed a puddle under the Valiant. As I walked around the car the gas was spilling out of...

    starter on hot start

    Last weekend I drove the Valiant around quite a bit and at my last stop the starter made a deeper pitched sound than usual. Didnt turn over hard or grind or anything like that just a deeper sound. Next day it had the typical sound and has since but I havent driven it for an extended period like...

    Coat hooks/hangers

    I am searching for an answer for mine too. I have a 63 Valiant with chrome metal hooks with a screw going through them, exposed. Not sure if theyre correct but they match and seem like they would be original
