Thanks

Went on layson site can't seem to find a filler tube for a 66 Valiant like you discribe.

Yeah I know but if I can find a cheap 7.25 rear with 3.23 it would be the change to see if I like it

I've done the rag and listening thing but don't catch it all the time. Will look into that layson fill tube. Thanks for the info

Ok thanks, the gearing in the car now is 2.91 . Will have to start shopping around.

Did any a body's come with 3.23 gearing? Doesn't have to be a posi. It's a slant 6 car so either a 7.25 or a 8.25 will work fine. If there was what years should I be looking for?

I have a 66 valiant with a gas stain down the rear quarter. Any suggestions on how to stop the gas from over spilling . The gas nozzle seems to trip off just as it spills over. Do I need to modify the vent or maybe the filler tube. Any ideas will help. Tried going really slow but doesn't seem to...

Thanks for the information, will redo my my list. I'm new to setting up suspension. Mostly built cars that went straight

66 valiant 2 door post, slant6 with work, front sbp disc conversion,205 - 15 front/215 - 15 rear. Looking for a good handling all around street driver setup. This is what I come up with: Bilstein rca all around Offset uca bushings,(was thinking of qa1 tubular upper arms but not sure it's worth...

I'll look into proforged parts. As far as leaf springs should I stick with shackles or look into rear sliders?

I am a welder, fabricator by trade so welding up k- frame, lower control arms and frame connectors will not be a issue. When squaring off the wheels you hang plums in all four corners and cross measure ? With suspension under load?

Mattax thanks for the info got some reading to do. I live in New England so the roads here are pretty beat up, so I'll be looking into a little softer setup. If I go with poly setup I need to keep them lubricated? But stock rubber should work fine for me? Any brands recommended for ball joints...

This is the setup on the car now: Slant6, small cam, dual 1 barrel carbs,dual exhaust Disc brake conversion sbp 11" rotors Stock torsion bars Tires 205 65 r 15 front/ 215 70 r 15 rear all new rims and tires Kyb shocks all around S/S springs 7 1/4 rear 9" drums Trying to setup as a good handling...

So is the 130 +or- spring rate I should be looking for ? I plan on putting bilstein or qa1's all around

Ok thanks

Just purchased a 66 valiant, slant6. It has sbp disc conversion up front and super stock springs. The car is sitting to high ,looking to lower by a 1.5 to 2" to get the car to handle better. What leafs are recommend at around a 120 to 130 spring rate or something else. Thanks

Slant6 valiant with s/s springs. Like to lower car by1.5 or 2". What springs do you recommend afco, eaton130 rate or something else? Thanks

Thanks

Hi everyone new to the forum : just looking for info on why leaf springs from 1967 and up wouldn't fit a 1966 valiant. Look for leaf springs to get the little lower for better handling.
