    Need some electrical help with my ‘68 Plymouth Valiant 100

    By "manual", I hope you mean the Factory service manual, not the Owner's manual. The FSM will have all the wiring diagrams as well as everything else you need to know about servicing your car. Available for free download at Service Manuals – MyMopar . Edit: Boy, I type slow... got treed by 2 guys!

    Dart with no rear brakes?

    The rear reservoir feeds the front brakes. Just so you know. Put fluid in it and start pumping the brakes- see if you can track down the leak. Once located and repaired, fully bleed the system.

    Need Used 9" front DRUMS...didnt know new drums would screw me up!!

    Since you already have the drums, most machine shops should be able to swedge the drums to the hubs/studs. Then have them turned AFTER they are together. You'd be shocked how out of whack they can be sometimes. Alternatively, put the drums on the hubs and tighten them together with the lug...

    Does it go here, or non-Mopars??

    It says Dodge on the trunk and on the title. No different than the German or Italian sourced cars that everybody accepts as a Mopar.

    Could also possibly be linkage adjustment, trans is not completely engaging into park?

    Replaced fuel line and added electric fuel pump, now won't start.

    Picture would be nice, but my offhand guess is it's the plug for the seatbelt interlock. Jumper wire (IIRC, it's been a while) connects the Y-Y/Bk wires.

    '66 Dart headlight buckets

    Sorry it took so long for pix, life got in the way... Both buckets (trick of the camera- they're not as off-center as the pic makes them look): Left (DS) headlight: Right (PS) headlight: And as I said, I can switch them side-to-side, and the driver's side remains "off". Actually, since these...

    Pipe dope on my temperature sending unit. Is this okay?

    Easiest way to tell is to put an ohm meter on it, one probe on the body of the sensor and the other at a good ground on the engine block. No resistance= good to go, no continuity= remove, clean off, and try again.

    Decent Deal? Anything stick out that should cause me to not make the trek?

    Right- it wasn't my intention to degrade those points, just to say that it wasn't the work of a big dollar resto shop, as some were alluding to. The functionality is there, just not the "correctness" that one would expect in a car in the upper 20s. At that price point it should be bordering on...

    Decent Deal? Anything stick out that should cause me to not make the trek?

    With the number of casual tire kickers and doofuses (doofi?) out there just sending silly Emails, I can sorta understand someone not wanting to pull it out of storage just to take pics for someone who may not be serious... That said, I also can't understand someone putting a car into storage and...

    Decent Deal? Anything stick out that should cause me to not make the trek?

    Well, we can all agree that it's not a $100K resto shop job, with all the obvious little things- screw clamps on the hoses, the hoses themselves, corrugated wire sleeves, unrouted/loose harness sections, incorrect master, etc. All things that are relatively easy to correct. As said, concentrate...

    Decent Deal? Anything stick out that should cause me to not make the trek?

    Those hoses were probably not painted- a number of years back some suppliers carried hose that was a dull red that turns pinkish over time. Looks like they used it for the breather as well as the heater hoses. Easy to tell in person, and definitely nothing that would be a deal breaker if the...

    '66 Dart headlight buckets

    Yes, I was able to swap them side-to-side with the same results- the driver's side is "off". And before anyone asks, neither fender is damaged or modified.

    '66 Dart headlight buckets

    Maybe it could be a different year bucket, but it interchanges with the right side with no alignment issues? Maybe if someone has a parts book, they could confirm that the numbers are the same or different. I can make this one work, but I'll have to redrill the mounting holes for the bucket and...

    A-body 8-3/4 drums

    Since the last A body Cuda was built in '69, it couldn't have factory "bell" drums that were only offered beginning in the '70 model year... Factory 10 inch brakes on a 7 1/4 rear weren't totally uncommon, just optional. Had them on my '66 wagon, '68 GT and a '73 Dart 4 dr. Ordering front disc...
