    Slant Six Won't Rev over 3500 RPM

    Well, the Flying Valiant is flying again, sort of. I've got it running and driving, and I've clocked a little over 600 miles on it sorting out bugs. We're trying to drive it from Gainesville, FL to Carlisle in five days, and while they engine has been running great, I can't for the life of me...

    Variable Speed Wiper Motor Woes (1964 Valiant)

    I have the variable speed wiper setup in my 1964 Valiant. I tried wiring it up last night and it immediately popped two ten amp fuses back to back in my new wiring harness (Ron Francis). I put a 30 amp fuse in just to see what would happen. It didn't blow. The wipers made a brief noise and...

    Does anyone know of a good replacement plug for the pins in the back of a 64 Valiant cluster? I'm completely replacing my wiring system with a Ron Francis kit and I'd like to not have to rely on the old plugs if possible. Thanks!

    [WANTED] 1970s Slant Six Power Steering Pump Brackets (Saginaw)

    Hey, guys. Looks like I got small block brackets for this pump and I need the entire Slant Six bracket setup for a late style Saginaw pump. I'm told it needs to come from a car and not a truck or it will not fit my early A. So anything from a mid-late 70s Valiant, Dart, Aspen, or Volare should...

    Finally! Headlight trim rings for 63-65 Valiants/Barracudas

    1963-1965 Valiant owners, I am thrilled to announce that the parts gods have smiled on us in the form of an Australian man named Robert Morris. He has manufactured some truly stunning headlight trim rings. They are even better than original in that they are slightly thicker aluminum and...

    [WANTED] Offenhauser Slant Six Valve Cover

    If anyone has one in decent shape that could be polished up nice, I'd be interested. I tried using engine degreaser to get stubborn Permatex off mine and it turns out the stuff will dissolve aluminum before it dissolves sillcon. Ugh. Thanks!

    Offenhauser 4bbl carb stud and spacer question

    So I'm getting ready to put my engine together and I haven't been able to find the carb stud sizes for the intake. Are they anything weird? Also, I'm going to need a small spacer to work with the linkage on my Edelbrock 500CFM carb. What size spacers are you running? Thanks!

    Where to find Package Tray Retainer Clips

    So, I'm looking to replace the two button-style clips holding down the package tray on my '64 Valiant. I figured this would be something easy to track down reproductions for, but no luck! Has anyone had any luck tracking these down? Mine were both shot and can't reuse them. Thanks!

    Get rust out of stored radiator

    I have an original 1964 radiator that's been recored to a three row, so it cools nice, but looks like a stock radiator. I took it out of the car four years ago for the start of the restoration, and now, like most metal things do in Florida, there's surface rust all over the inside of it. Is...

    Window mechanisms on Sedan Doors: Which first?

    Hey, guys, I'm about to put the window mechanisms and windows back in my 64 2 door post car. They were a huge pain to get out of the car, and the FSM shows instructions for removing both the vent window and the door window, but not both at the same time. Looks like either can be removed...

    [WANTED] WTB: 1983 or newer Slant 6 block and crank in Florida

    Is there anyone in the north central Florida area looking to unload an '83 or newer Slant Six? All I really need is the block and the crank. If they're in decent shape, I don't care about the rest. Thanks!

    Got ripped off. Looking for a new idea for the inside of the engine. Stroker maybe?

    So in 2002, I had a 225 block built for my 1964 Valiant since the 170 died. I didn't know what I was doing then, but I did ask the guy to bore the engine 0.030" over and he charged me accordingly. I just started my engine breakdown all these years later and, surprise surprise, it's bone stock in...

    Harmonic Balancer Help, removal a/c and power steering

    Hey everyone. I'm currently trying to disassemble my engine that has a double pulley for a/c, so the harmonic balancer is first. Tried removing it with a crow's foot puller, but so far nothing. No bolt in the middle. Am I missing something? Can they be pulled one at a time? Also, when this is...

    Early A 2 Door Sedan Window Channel Sets (Not Cat Whiskers)

    Hey, guys. I've seen a lot of posts about the felts that go along the bottom of the windows, and I just bought a set of Cat Whiskers from Herb's parts for those. I can't find the stuff that makes up the other three sides of the window anywhere though. Any ideas? It seems like a pretty basic C...

    64 Valiant Narrow Pushbutton Shifter Bezel

    Ugh. This is proving to be much tougher than it should be. My V100 shifter bezel is chipped and I need a core to get rechromed. All the usual channels are washing out for me, and the only one I've been able to find the guy wants as much as an entire parts car would cost for the one piece. :wack...

    Back of Early A V8 pedal

    Hey! I'm switching from linkage to cable for my accelerator pedal. I have the Early A V8 firewall mount, but I'm using a freshly rebuilt Slant 6 pedal. I'm told the pedals are basically the same, but the linkage tab on the back is trimmed. Does anyone have a photo available of what the back of a...

    Steering column wiring

    welp, I was trying to disassemble my steering column in my 64 Valiant automatic because I'm switching to a power steering shaft instead of a manual and I wanted to paint it while I was at it. Long story short, I broke the clip for the electrical on the lower end of the column trying to back the...

    Hey, guys! Those globs of putty lining the inside seams of the hood and trunk...what are they? I tried using Eastwood seam sealer and it turned out like garbage. What should I use?

    Block smoothing filler over large surfaces

    Hey, everyone. I'm trying to smooth out the trunk on my 64 Valiant after working out a few dings. I decided the best thing to do was lightly skim the whole trunk with Rage Gold. I've been working on it for over 16 hours now using sanding blocks of various lengths to try and get the whole thing...

    GPRS Mopars

    I mentioned this in another part of the forum and didn't hear anything, so I figured the guys more likely to use GPRS would be over here. Has anyone dealt with them lately? I ordered some trim rings from them in early February and never heard anything from them again.

    Anyone know anything about GPRS Mopars in Australia?

    I heard they were good to work with, so I ordered some of their headlight trim rings off their site on March 2nd. I emailed them recently and didn't hear anything back. I'm not in any hurry, but I'd kind of like to know they're still in business. Thanks!

    Antenna and side mirror locations

    Hey, gang. I got one of them cheap-o '64 Valiants that didn't come with a radio or side mirrors, so as I'm getting ready for paint, I wanted to drill some holes before I got too much further along. Can someone please give me some reference measurements for where the holes were drilled on the...

    Tow loop on the K frame?

    Hey, everyone! I'm about to shore up the K-frame on my Slant powered '64 Valiant. I've seen a lot of people modifying their K-frames for added rigidity, and I'm pretty well set on where those welds and gussets need to go. I've also seen guys graft tow loops onto their Ks while they're shoring...

    Guy saves his Valiant from a fire.

    Just watched this news story from Australia. Feel bad for the guy as it seems he and his family lost almost everything, but I'm glad he was able to get the Valiant out in time. http://youtu.be/zORATGVKgZA
