I seem to have misplaced my spindle nut washer for my drivers side 9" drum. Does anyone have one for sale?

Hello, I'm having trouble installing new upper ball joints. After a tremendous time working on getting the old ones out, I've managed it. Ready to install the new ones and running into a problem. There's a ridge on the rubber boot attached to the ball joint. This ridge is too large to fit...

OHello, I'm looking for a right front spindle. It is for a 69 Valiant. Original 9 inch drums and sbp. Shipping to 95035 Sale completed. Thanks.

I'm looking for a grease cap for a 9" drum brake hub. It's SBP, not sure if that matters. Shipping to 95035.

I posted a while back due to overcharging issues. I got it mostly resolved, but the volts were still a little higher than I would have liked. Today, I installed a new voltage regulator since it's the one thing I haven't tried. Now, the voltage on the field wire seems to fluctuate. Meaning...

Came across this video. Guy pulling out of a car show, being an idiot, and wrecking his new charger. Wreckless drifting gone wrong Dodge Charger crash after car show! - YouTube

I'm reaching the bodywork stage on my resto. The passenger side door has a small dent near the handle. It's only visible because the handle itself doesn't sit flat on the door. Because of its position, I'm not really sure I can push it out. The driver's side door looks fine, but the...

Im approaching a point where all that's left to do on my valiant is cosmetic stuff. First up will be pulling the motor, prepping and painting the engine bay. But that leaves me with a few questions. I've seen some people strip to bare metal, then primer, then block, primer again, then paint...

Just got home, this being my first show I've been to. Gotta say, I'm hooked. LOL Here's some pics I took at the show. I recognized Bad440 and Saetun's cars in the A-body area. My kids are probably as hooked as me, I'm thinking. My wife even fell in love with the pink Challenger SRT.

Hello. I just did the scarebird disc brake conversion. It went on without much trouble. Had to do some extra grinding, but no real complaints about assembly. The brake pedal feels great, and it stops much better. However, I noticed a slight rubbing sound when I hit the brakes. It's not a...

What's the etiquette for this? Would love to bring my Valiant to mopar alley here in fremont, ca. It runs and drives we'll after the recent rebuild. But it's rattle canned with black primer, and certainly not a show car. Would I get funny looks or is this something you see often at shows...

Can anyone post pics of engine bays done in sublime? Particularly looking for slant sixes, or chrysler blue painted engines. But anything you've got, I'll take a look at.

Last couple of days, when I start the car it's sounded like it's "slipping". While watching the fan, it seems to be slowing down while cranking, then speeding back up. The battery is new, and shows 13.3v while off, and drops to 11-12v while cranking. This is a fairly stock 69 valiant. 225...

I've been reading that 2 1/4 is the ideal size for these. Was just curious because the stock exhaust manifold is 2". Wouldn't that make the extra 1/4" ineffective?

I have a 69 valiant. 225 automatic. It's had a rattle while in drive (only at low speeds) and had figured it was the grille or something rattling. Today, had a helper push the brake in gear and I got out to listen. It's definitely coming from under the valve cover. I know I won't know what it...

Is there any routine maintenance that should be done on the rear? I have a 7 1/4 on a 69 Valiant, slant 6. No plans on updating to a bigger rear, but want to make sure the one I have is in good shape. What kinds of things should I look for or do to keep it running well?

What's the normal range for volts coming from the alternator? I'm getting ready to do the MAD amp gauge bypass and want to make sure I'm not going to have any problems and end up frying the fusible link. I tested 15.1 volts at idle directly at the alternator and 13.5 volts at the battery...

The drivers side door latch has had issues since I bought it. When you press button to open the door from the outside, or pull the handle fom the inside then the latch drops on the door. This causes the door to not shut because the latch hits the striker. The only way to remedy this is to...

Does anyone know a source for new quarterpanels? Only need the part that goes behind the wheelwell on the drivers side. Can't seem to find anything. Will other a-body panels work, do you think?

I picked up some new 9" drums from my 69 valiant. They didn't come with the hub and I'm having a hell of a hard time finding them. Can anybody recommend a good place? Tried autozone, rockauto, oreilly, ebay. No luck.

When I press the brakes, the front fog lights/turn signals light up. All bulbs are the proper ones. From searching, it sounds like the problem is most likely the turn signal switch. I pulled the steering wheel today and had a look. Its ugly lol. Do you think its possible to clean this up and...

Are all a-body clusters the same size? Was contemplating building a new set of gauges and found a blank cluster insert. http://www.redlinegaugeworks.com/products.asp Do you think this would fit a 69 valiant?

I have a confession. Never changed oil in a car before. Prior to buying this Valiant, the most complex job I've ever done on my own is change an alternator. But I wanted to learn. My whole life, I wanted a classic car and when funds lent themselves to being able to do this I had to jump at...

Would love to see what you guys are doing. Here's what I've got done so far... Should the glove box be painted white as well for contrast, or should it remain the same color as the rest of the dash?

First off, this is a 69 Valiant. I've been reading up on fuel gauge problems trying to become well informed on the potential reasons for not having a reading. I looked at the 69 wiring diagram (dart, not sure if this is same as valiant)... and while I am new to reading these things, from what...

This is my first time doing this, so I followed instructions precisely, or so I thought. Took the rod off the pedal & took lines off the cylinder. Removed the master cylinder. Filled the new master cylinder halfway with brake fluid, bled the new master cylinder by pressing a dowel an inch in...

In preparation for July's big car makeover, I'm reading up on all I can so that I'll be prepared. One thing I'm going to do is replacing the leaf springs and also the shocks. Right now, they're practically horizontal so its time. I'm hearing horror stories about getting the bushings off...

Dropped my 69 Valiant off at the auto shop near my work for an inspection, since it was convenient and good to get an extra set of eyes. One thing I had not checked was the brakes, since they stop fine. I did notice the pedal slowly sink to the floor while stopped at a light. Turns out the...

At the PO. When the spring at the carburetor became loose, and so he simply added a 2nd spring to the same place without removing the first one. Today, the 2 springs stuck together causing the accelerator to stick. Lucky for good brakes and the fact its not a V8.
