I purchased the car in January 2020, in Ohio. Asking $5,950. Will consider reasonable offers. The car is a 1960 Valiant with a slant 6 engine 170 cu in with a 3 speed (Torqueflite) A-904 push button automatic transmission and factory POWER steering / brakes. 1960 was the first year for the...

I read this to my wife ( I shouldn't have ) because now she will follow your wife's philosophy.

I will be cautious. My wife says if that ever happens she will kill me. It's only 42 years now. :thankyou:

Absolutely. Just FYI, the blocks you see are all screwed together in opposite directions so that on top the wheels sit inside the supports. Some people call them cribs. They actually give better support and lock the wheels in place. I also have jacks under the front and rear of the car but...

Of course you're right. Once in a while I break down and tell myself that people are honest. I do know better.

You're right about the time, work and money. To make it into a daily driver costs twice the original price in 1960 and you spend hundreds of hours of work and research. If you ever sell it you lose money, if it's not a show piece. The good news is we aren't sitting on our duffs and are...

Thank you, I am learning the pros and cons of the early models. As always they are life's little challenges. Best wishes to you as well.

Thank you. I will give that a check in the morning. Always pays to recheck.

Folks, with the help of you folks, especially Slant6Dan, I have now completed the fuel system and the vehicle runs good. My next concern is getting a new straight transmission pan for my 1960 Valiant 200, 170. I have replaced the gasket with a rubber one ( mistake ) and I have used Permatex...

That was also my favorite saying so I agree with you. Sometimes we forget the main point. Hank

You are right. I have taken too long on the thread. I was getting great help and wanted to finish. I will look at how to get other threads going. Thanks for the reminder.

Thank you for the welcome and the information on leaf springs and parts. I will certainly check them out. Working on an old vehicle that has a lot of challenges can be like going on a long road trip and wondering if you will ever get there. When you finally arrive it is very satisfying.

Hi, thank you for the welcome. I just watched your Utube video at the car show. Awesome car. Comparison is my car $1 and your car $$$$$. Beautiful and desirable vehicle. Hank

Dan, the pictures were sent without me completing my write up. Sorry. You mentioned a 1962. Mine is a 1960. It may not matter? 1) The valve cover has a road draft tube which is mounted by the factory. No PCV. A picture is attached. *** I saw your next Email on the PCV and will do that. I...

Hi Dan, the hose vacuum line at the carb base is connected to the inside of the dash, I have not checked where it goes but I believe it is for the heater system. The vacuum line on the other side of the carb goes to the distributor vacuum advance. The power brake booster comes directly off the...

Well we moved here in 2012 to help my wife's brother and sister. They both had the nerve to die on us and they left us here alone. The nerve of some people. Sounds like your having a little fun as well. It normally is about our wife's. Good fortune to you.

Working on a 1960 Valiant and a 1986 F150 step side. Naturally this is after I make sure my wife is happy. Life is good.

Dan, I received the bushing. It was a perfect fit. I used all of your suggestions from the thread and one of your earlier threads. A few pictures of what I have done on the fuel system and a question!!!! The Carburetor, fuel hose, clamps, fittings were your ideas and worked excellent. I...

Thank you Dan. I will check this out. Hank

Hello Dan, I received the carb listed on Ebay that you told me about. Cleaned, adjusted brackets and mounted it. I am also changing the fuel line per your write up. Top line fuel injection hose, the inverted flare connector, fuel injection clamps and metal fuel filter etc. I am waiting for...

Thank you, it will certainly be another good experience in life to learn new things with the help from good people who have been there.

Thank you. I have also found out that the parts are very difficult to get. Worst one to find so far is the gas tank. I am grateful that so far that is good.

I am a car person. I am used to all forms of communication. I was raised in mid Chicago. Drag racing by the Merchandise Mart in 1958 was the start of street racing for me. I like banter and disagreement but not insulting people who try hard and need help. I kicked butt and took names but...

Thank you.The car needs help but it's just another challenge in life. I found the idea for the cribs on Utube. I was wondering how to get the vehicle higher for scraping and other work and found these. Very easy and cheap to make. Sturdy as well.

We'll Dan I ordered the carb you recommended. I will figure out the fuel line move. Hank
