My trip back to the third party MVD was pointless. They said they could not make any changes unless the car had current registration, which isn't possible until I pass the inspection, which they wouldn't do because the VIN on the title doesn't match the car. So, yeah. Fun. I'm going to a state...

The third party MVD knows there’s an error, and that the typo happened in 2021, but, you’re not gonna believe this, they wouldn’t fix it. They said I need to bring the car in for a visual inspection so they can verify the VIN. Even though they issued me a title 6 weeks ago without looking at the...

Well, this is frustrating. I drove to my DMV inspection so they would modify my dismantled title to clear, but the inspector spotted that the seventh character listed on my title (8) does not match the car (G). Sooooo, they rescheduled me for an inspection in two weeks and advised that I go back...

Yeah, that could totally work.

Sway bar installed, test drive a success!! I’ll eventually either cut down or replace the end link bolts for more clearance.

Good eye! The photo was taken before I torqued it down, but I'll double check and make sure it's into the nylon, or I'll be getting new bolts.

Oh man! Thats a bummer losing photos!

My first idea was to add an angle bracket to the bottom of the LCA and mount the sway bar above. After researching more here, looking at the Hellwig instructions for their bar, and watching several videos, this seemed like a better approach for my stock '73-'76 sway bar... I drilled all the...

Saturday, I dropped the trans pan so I could change the gasket, which I suspected was the source of my leak. After catching most of the fluid in my drain pan, and spending an hour with a wire brush cleaning the pan, bolts and trans surface, I put it all back together with a new filter. I decided...

I actually do have the insert, washer, shank whatevs call it that aligns with the bolt pattern. I just didn’t include all the hardware in photos. Plot twist. Not 4 Cragar wheels. Two Cragar, and two Klug? Neither will fit my front drums at 5x4. I looked more closely at the Cragars. They show...

The car came with the two narrow wheels on the rear of the car, which is 5x4.5. They fit, but the washer inserts were in to keep the wheels centered. My front drums are 5x4, but I never tried installing these wheels because the wider ones were so wide I knew I wouldn’t use them. I made the...

Yes, inside bead to inside bead is 8" on the wide wheels. They are 14”. Thanks.

The PS input shaft seal came in and I came really close to butchering it trying to install, but I was able to pull it out, get it back into shape and install properly. No more power steering leak! After picking up steel wheels for the rear to match the ones I already had in front, I decided to...

These wheels came with the 1974 Plymouth Valiant I bought a couple months ago. The two with tires were mounted on the car, the other two were in the trunk. When I saw how wide the ones in the trunk were, and that I have SBP in the front anyway, I decided to go with painted steel wheels all...

I picked up two 14" 5x4.5" steel wheels for the rear yesterday after a 75 minute drive out of town. I took my kid with me and we stopped for lunch on the way back, which was nice, but traffic back into town was awful. Oh well. Today, I pulled the front wheels off... ... wire brushed...

I pulled the distributor this morning so I could adjust the bolt underneath so I could get slightly more rotation to set timing. I was maxed out and getting about 4 degrees BTDC. While I was in there, I checked the vacuum advance, which was dead. Then I pulled all the plugs to remove the crush...

Yesterday at the salvage yard, I grabbed an oil dipstick tube and dipstick from some random Mopar, and a license plate light with bracket from some random Mopar truck with a steel bumper. Today, I fitted the dipstick with the addition of a small bracket extension. It’s been on my list for...

Big day! After cleaning up the rear end cover, installing a fresh gasket and refilling with gear oil, I made it approximately 1.2 miles round trip to the gas station. Brakes worked, but I'll have to acclimate to manual drums. Turn signals worked on the way there. Not on the way back. Worked...

That sounds so cool!!

Two steps forward, one step back. Brakes are bled. Power steering pump replaced. I bought one off a member here. My car came with a pump installed on the engine, but no pulley. There was an other pump in the trunk with a pulley on it, but it was bent like someone tried to remove it with a vice...

Thank you so much!! I've been working on cars for a long time, but I feel like the internet has made it easier to access resources on how to do things, which gives me confidence that there is very little on a car most of us couldn't figure out given enough time and patience. My plan is to keep...

The interior is back together and it is fabulous. Not perfect. But fabulous.

As I'm getting closer to this thing being able to hit the road again, and after spending so much time in the cabin tracking down electrical issues, I decided it was time to make the environment nicer by wire brushing the rust and hitting it all with a rust converter. I then test fitted my new...

I spent hours trouble shooting wiring today. After fixing my cheap Chinese turn signal switch the other day, I got it installed, but I was getting some weird behavior. Flashing, no instrument panel lights. I pulled the headlight switch out, then disassembled it and cleaned everything. I lost a...

Thank you. I'm not in a big hurry. Please let me know when you have a date in mind.

That "brake fluid change" went really sideways, and I ended up removing 3 of the 4 corners because they had problems, or something looked suspect. Two corners had the shoes reversed, and 3 of the wheel cylinders had evidence of prior leaks and I couldn't tell if they had been rebuilt or not, so...

I edited the original post again. I measured and evidently I have 5x4 on the front and 5x4.5 on the rear. I need a couple 14" 5x4.5 steel wheels for the rear.

Awesome, thank you. I'll keep those in mind while I see if I can find something a littler closer.

Yep, I was wrong. The ones I have are 14". I edited the title and original post to reflect I'm looking for 2 14" sbp 5x4 wheels.
