    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...

    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

    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...

    carb leak

    I have a 63 Valiant with a slant 6 and it has a Holley carb that developed a leak at the bowl. I read that the cork gaskets dont hold up well so I went and bought a sheet of Felpro gasket material to make my own. I cut it, installed it and it was sealing fine. Let the engine idle for a good 15...

    Color trunk should be?

    I wanted to get something small done to the Valiant today as I dont have a whole lot of spare time so I cleaned out the trunk of spare parts and 3 damp layers of carpet to find just a little surface rust and a couple small soft spots. Deffinately nothing major and very happy to see. My question...

    A starting point

    In my intro I posted some pics but thought Id post them here also with a little more info. I was searching for a smaller car that would get better mileage than my 70 V8 truck, not hard to do, and came across this car on craigslist. It was advertised in Chicago which is around 90 miles from where...
