    Idle screw question. Rich or lean?

    friends car. Not Mopar. But helping cause I like v8s. Holley 4160 (new). Stock small block... No emissions stuff. Trying to get idle dialed in. Steady vac at about 19. Idles pretty consistent. But when you clutch in coming to a light, the idle dips low and comes back up. Is that...

    made in USA adjustable 2 wire regulator

    Okay. So, even with the stock style regulator having a proper ground reference and a relayed + reference and alternatlr field +. It always seemed to charge a bit high for my tastes. around 14.8. Probably original. Well. Decided since my Xs650 motorcycle uses an isolated field 2 wire...

    front bench removal....

    I did some searching and didn't see it. But I'm used to modern cars where the bolts are just out in the open and the seat can just come out. I think I can see the front bolts on my valiant. Is there a trick to removing the front seat...couldn't really see bolts near the back.

    school me on motor mounts...er the rubber part.

    Okay. 71 valiant. Obviously slant. Are these not made as a replacement? The rubber looks decent on mine. But if they are available I'd like to replace. seems like I can't find any.....which I find odd for the amount of a body slant cars made.

    rough idle solved!

    I had posted a few times prior saying my 71 val had a bit of a lope at idle and had done all of the other stuff with not much difference. Buying a spare 1920 yielded me a good carb all around. Good float too! Spare holley metering block! Removed the big plug on top this time and cleaned...

    sometimes I wonder....

    What chrysler corp as a whole was thinking in the 70s. I know my car is only a more door valiant with a slant and I love it to bits. But it seems like in terms of stream lining the assembly line process they weren't very efficient at it. Why bother with the 7.25 rear....when the base cars...

    dark plug on cylinder 6

    Good day. On my 71 Val 4 plugs one through 5 look perfect. Cyl 6 is pretty black. Clean where it's firing. It looks dry.....but I don't see how I could possibly have a rich condition. I even pulled the plug on the top of 6 intake tube and had a look. It's not wet with gas even when...
